I asked the Night sky,
How great are you?
Hiding all pain and grief ,
People waking up, the next day with a new Hope and belief.
Why you chosen to be Black in color?
It replied," To give people warmth to Recover",
I asked," Recover from What?"
It replied," Recover from : Tiredness, Sorrow, Grief, Pain and Evil".
Night Sky is filled with twinkling Stars,
Small children collecting them in fragile jars.
I asked The night sky,
"Why Moon changes its Shape every day?"
It replied,
" He is teaching us how to tackle our problems in different way"

Dear Aurora,
Beautiful and sun-kissed
Warm and enchanting
Delicate and glossed
Mystically enticing
Dear Aurora
I could never thank you enough for splintering my sorrows away
Letting me rest for another day
You slowly happen
The entire world knows you,
Then
Many people start believing you are weak
And selfish
But dear Aurora,
I know you only too well
I have seen you rise up
And have seen how you fell
You are beauty full of sorrows
You are here today and gone tomorrow
You are healing
Aurora you are liberating
Dear Aurora
As you fly across the sky announcing a new sun
A gleam appears to me as a swift burn
It reminds me I am always apart from you
But you will always be a part of me
Dear Aurora
I love you.

on this rumbling
stretch of tundra
no trees reach up
to soothe the sky
there is a pulling down
of wind tunnel vortex
like conifers in reverse
an icy howl
in the bonechill
of time
Translucent holes,
perfectly round, are dug
in glacial archeology
and in the sea below
gelid creatures lurk,
half-frozen
in the history of my
soul
Only moss and lichens
grow on the rock,
somehow softening the
rugged textures
of the wild landscapes
that seethe
just beneath my skin
and there, just
shy of the surface
is a quickening
a subtle pulse of veins
that pumps life
between the gales of
my heart's steppes
flushing out
the pain
somewhere
deep
within the private lotus
of my being
folioles unfurl
leafy shapes around
my organs
wrapping them like gifts
as they undulate in whorls
opening my petals
in renewed consciousness
and deliberation
as a new kind of
stamen
rises
dusty pollen
powdery
budding ripeness
bursting up
and out
of my deepest
centered
whirlpool pistil
nectar dripping
in viscous webs,
to be caught upon
the tongue of
a new dawning
My silky outer
wings of vegetation,
slender stalks of
filaments and anther
have been turned
into hot steel
They protect
the tender vulnerable
when burned
as poison words held up to my
watchful eyes,
are properly discerned
I give myself over
to this new power,
my back arched to fully embrace
what is to come,
a universe calling thunder,
the old patterns undone
I am ready
to reveal my all
as the goddess deep within
comes to release my gold
suffusing light through skin
conjured from me
a relentless strength,
ever-growing,
now tenfold
rising way past
soft-lit stratospheres
and orbiting
to
bold

Feet don’t fail me now.
I can’t look back, no way to go but forward
I need to stand tall so no one can push me down
I have to march on and pull away from the sticky bubblegum of my mistakes to rise up and grow higher than anyone ever could
This world needs a hero, and I sure ain’t that, but I sure am going to try
People push you down, but you have to pour in courage like the yeast in the recipe of your ideal self so you can rise to defeat all that will challenge you
Break free of the chains made of liquorice and spit on the crushed toys of the past to become someone no one expected you to be
Laugh at the quests others have said were undefeatable as you stomp them into the ground
Snicker when they say you can’t
With the flame burning in your chest, write in big firey letters the names of those who have crossed you and take the ocean of tears they’ve forced you to produce to wash them all out
They are nothing
You can do anything as long as you
Keep
Standing
Tall.

One small moment
can be so infinite,
in vibrations grand
as I watch the universe
burst forth and expand
I sit upon the desert's ground
feeling the abundance
of Life, abound
How it envelopes me
and takes me in
as I become one
with the cosmos,
stars exploding within
It swallows me whole
into vastness so sacred
for we are all enfolded
across ancient
frames of time
our condition vulnerable,
souls naked
looking out into this
diamond-flecked magnitude
in crystalline,
sublime
For inside that far away,
milky density
of celestial spheres
we are part of the now
part of the here
and, as the firmament
continues to move
my starry-eyed soul
begins to groove
******** state
from meteor's flash
tranjectory arcs
in a second's bright dash
A miracle of
cosmic magic unfolds
before our very eyes---
a gift to behold,
a spiritual prize
and as we hold our breath
from meteorite to star
I think about this
concept of far
ponder upon the waves of space
and time:
an axis of fine-woven threads
that binds
and know that under
these spark-induced skies
our journeys fuse
our hearts,
our eyes
Our spirits the
reflection of comets' haze
our dance of
shooting stars,
ablaze

I can grant you any wish you want.
I can give you anything you want.
I can grant you the knowledge
you have been craving for.
I can give you the creativity
you have longed for.
I can bring purpose into your life.
I can drive away the aimlessness in you.
I can change the nothingness in you
Into something altogether different.
I can turn your fears into strengths.
I can bring confidence in you.
You just have to make a wish.
You have to make your choice now.
You have to decide how badly
you want the one thing.
The intensity matters to me.
I am the most generous yet
not the most generous at the same time.
You have to be modest.
Be wise. Think twice before you make your wish.
You have to tell me why you want it.
If it's genuine, you'll get it.
I am omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.
I am God to you.
I am your God.
I am everything to you
And you are everything to me.
Make a wish now forgetting
all your fears and failures.
I am ready to grant you
whatever you want.
'Coz I'm you and you are me.
I am your reflection.
I am the ultimate GOD,
the only one on this planet,
who can change your world.

i feel like a bird that flew right into a window
that you pointed at and laughed
i feel like the shaven-head celebrities
the crack addicts
the high, homeless hippies on the street
i feel like a person of Wal Mart
the awkward couple that shows way too much PDA in public
the punchline of a fat joke
(i see all the fingers pointed at me as--)
i struggle to bend my wings into shape again
but i've taken to writing poetry and cutting up pieces of newspaper
to fit between the ruffled feathers
i shouldn't still have brain damage from the collision i had with your pride (sixteen miles high)
but maybe i do
i tap on the glass just to make sure that i really am a fool
and to see if you'll look back
to see me redeem myself
to see me fly
a
w
a
y.
