Sparkling Stars up in the sky,
Watch them Sparkle so very High,
Up above a darkened night,
A showcase of stars dancing in delight.

They Sparkle so High in their rightful place,
The Light and beauty with love and grace,
Just look above wherever you are,
You might just catch a Shooting Star.

Sparkling Stars just watch them shine,
A Light display to me is fine,
Even with these darkened nights,
An Illuminating sky will feel so right!!!

I don't wanna go into the land filled with castaways
The place is cold, long lost angels with their wings torn
Their screams ring in my ears
Their blessings lost into the heavens
I will find a way out of this mess, I will break through the silence
I will do everything in my power to expose the secrets
You can't do anything to me anymore

That's what I said before
Now I've come to an understanding
An understanding after the war
The war on my mind, body, and soul
Now you've taken control and my very being has taken its toll

Wait.. no, I-I will stop those who are in control
It's what I've been saying all this time
but tell me, why do I feel so different?
Has my soul become corrupted
or did a new door just open for my soul mission?
The blood is on the wall and the room is closing on me
It's getting dark, this isn't how it's supposed to be
I guess this is it
this is what true wickedness looks like

I've gone through hell and bled but I'm still here along with my spirit
and I vow to never ever submit
Not to those who sacrifice for profit
nor to those who are seen as infinite
For I am a misfit who illuminates those who are blinded by the wicked
and I am committed to raising the consciousness of humanity
forever and always, even if it takes an eternity.

it's over a decade old
holding secrets I can no longer withhold
it's once vibrant colors now faded
and as I look into it my past feels jaded
I never knew how long it would last
that my hold on a lie would be so steadfast

the immensity and the intensity of the illustration is penetrating
behind us, the sun was pulsating
dancing among clouds, her beams shot through
like the final recital of a dancer who will bid adieu

the two of us poised like Greek statues in the light
him, in a sweater woven with gold and by sprites
and myself in a cape formed among the seven wonders of the ancient world
in front of a mansion that holds tales untold
the steps eager to see our eyes grow by tenfold

but then in the ensuing photograph
it is only I that stands
the glamour of my cape shedding
becoming the source of clamor
the lavender shade of my jacket is molting
falling apart, it reveals
a truth that only time can see
that our fanciful clothing was only a disguise
conjured up to distract their eyes
so this poem took inspiration from Margaret Atwood's "This is a photograph of me." After reading it, I subsequently wrote my own spin-off.

Inside breath, lit corners of heart expand.
Pulsating with self-talk and forgiveness.
Radiate outwardly
swirling,
gracefully to tickle senses.
They echo moving in rhythms that
awaken my being.

Inside breath the light becomes a ball
illuminating my consciousness.
Moving to hold loves lantern
as I shine it to the world

A flickering lamp post,
A quivering spotlight,
Illuminating two souls sparring in the night.
Time stands with him as she walks.

The tragedy of loving.

Is that simply being in love,
Isn’t a good reason for two people to be together.
Peace with her was worth the war,
And he gave her pieces he never gave himself.

The tragedy of loving.

A faded memory of what once was,
But the feelings still etched on his skin with fresh ink.
He will feel those for the remainder of his life,
Even though she won’t be apart of it.

in chaos

i found, self

in anger

i found freedom

in hatred

i found love

in darkness

i lit the light
I've got a lollipop in space,
she's my saving grace,
with a gentle wrinkled
grandma's face

She has the Stars on a string,
makes the constellations sing,
and wears the sun on her hand
like a pinky ring.

She's light,
a delight,
always right
with a smile that fights
the blackest of nights
and hands that cure
anyone's plight.

She sugar on berries
when the path gets scary
and filled with the void
of wicked fairies.  

A dollop on top,
the cream of the crop,
the rain in the desert
where it doesn't drop....

An Illuminating Force
nothing can stop
My grandma in the heavens.... my Lollipop.
La quiero mucho abuelita

"Pretty boring sunset"
"Those colors aren't so bright"
"Not gonna waste my time with this"
"Not much to see tonight"

And as the crowds drifted off
Expressing their dismay
I sat and watched the last light fade
Perfect ending to my day

Not a scene you'd likely see
In any picture frame
Nor find for sale on postcards
Nor bring an artist fame

But as I stared in silence
Twilight rolled across the sky
Revelation rolled right through my mind
How miniature am I

Though others turned their gaze away
When the sky refused to preen
Twas among the most magnificent
My eyes had ever seen
