Gone are the days
When Mother Nature was a close neighbor
And a loved one
But we've forced her out to build roads, rails, buildings and whatnot

It makes me wonder...
Like, did we dominate to contaminate?
She meant no evil, can't we reciprocate?
Further and further, we've push her away

I remember
I used to look at her from my windows
And appreciate her beauty
Now, I have to take time off
To find her and hope that she's intact

We pollute her waters,
fully aware of the negative impacts
When we can easily choose to do right
But we'll fix it later, right?

We pollute the air
And fell the trees that make us breathe
In exchange for the medium of exchange; we call it money
I think it's quite a fair exchange right?

Polluting Mother Nature is like
Poisoning your own food before eating it
Who is going to face the heat?
Of course, you and your loved ones

What's an environment without
Trees spreading their arms
Butterflies spreading their wings
Birds singing their songs
Cool breeze saying hello
We need to protect our dear friend;
Mother nature

How do you describe love?

How do you tell someone what this is?

You can't. You let them know this exists, and you make them feel.

The Concrete Poet
I look around me and it looks like the world is melting.
Stars are breaking away from the sky and falling.
The clouds are grey and cry never ending tears, or so it seems.
The moon is rarely even whole, just a fraction of itself.
The sun even runs away from me after a little while.
The angry river's horizon swallow the day and bring yet more darkness.
Boats disappear upon those waters with nary a beacon heard.
Trees are ravaged by hurricane'd winds as they weep and wilt.
Roses and their bouquet are trampled and their thorns are all that's left behind.
Strangers walking under the street lights are just that, 'stranger' to me everyday.
What is this place?
What is this tortured existence?
I want to run away from it but I can't because,
this place is everywhere.
It's even in my dreams, my nightmares.
He never meant for the ground under my feet to always feel like it was opening up.
Or for me to keep pushing myself further and further away from a love for life.
My bed is my best friend.
My head is the only thing that exists that knows all of my secrets and feelings.
I keep a tiny light on in my bedroom so not to always be in 100% darkness.
What is this place?
I muse.
Even my muses feel my anxiety and pain.
What is this place?
Hope is my super blood moon smile and...
Smiles are hard to find on this face.

Over-Complicated
She giggles like a baby
And dances like an excited child,
Twirling amongst the wind and rain with no coordination.
Her smile is quiet and often,
I never really thought about how much I love teeth until I looked at how cute hers were,
Her canines sharp and ready to bite at my ear.
The waist on that girl is about the size of my neck,
Maybe smaller.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Pale milk in the moonlight is no whiter than her skin,
But it is not nearly as luminescent and ethereal.
Her freckled narrow nose shows how much she is in the sun.
She will run around, having kid's fun, until millennia go by.
Her ears poke out of her hair sometimes,
Showing themselves just to make me smile.
And her locks are thick, unlike her thighs.
Her hips are so wide and fluid,
But she does not worry of them.
Her only worry in the world is of her music.
Her multichrome eyes are canyons filled with amusement, joy and love,
And they are framed by long elegant eyelashes that tickle my own when she kisses me.
Her hands, ever so small but broken, rush around, messing with whatever there is to be played with.
And her tongue intrigues me as much as it enchants me. One flick of it, and I'm melted in her hands.
Her body is what I'd imagine heaven's angels to appear as,
Bright.
Playful.
Perfect.
Weak people will try to pull you down
So that they can feel powerful.
Weak people will blame you, shame you
They will crush you in ways that are awful.

Strong people will inspire you
They will ignite a fire in your heart.
Strong people will teach you to be happy alone
To live to the fullest even when they are apart.

Weak people will sound lovely on the face
But attack you behind your back.
Strong people will encourage you to push harder
They will inspire abundance in you, not lack.

No matter what life throws at us
We ought to be strong, not weak.
We ought to look beyond words and dualities
And speak only with love and truth if we wish to speak.

We ought to build each one up
And live in harmony, not competitions.
We ought to keep our heart open
And learn to share our love without conditions.

Those who blame and hurt are already suffering
Bless them love and let go of what is already gone.
What’s the use of fighting with those
Who are weak, who have no strength of their own.
Be strong, and let go of what is gone.

Do you ever
Fight an uphill
Battle, so steep
Keep moving
Your feet, it’s
One where you
Keep fighting
Until you have
No more strength
You give up
In that moment
So, you move on
Learn to choose
Your battles
Live to fight
Another day
Keep fighting
For good
Only that
For good

Chantell Wild
rain kissed wing tips dip and dive
claws curled up on the wires
that bind us
ill conceived desires reign a planet
with the tears of another child born
in a cage bound for the stage
Freedom lies in the wings
in that song that the rainbird sings
