The light reflects off jewel eyes

Their face bright with mirth

And the world is never the same

Were colors always this bright?

Were clouds always so fluffy

Was the city air always so fresh?

The mundane always so dazzling

I think I'm in love again.

Left to right, Up and Down

Swaying rhythm gentle

This dance of nature

We get to partake in

Extend an arm

Let your troubles melt away

Tap your feet

Let the joy fill your bones

Shake your shoulders

Live you life

Feel the magic

Inside of You

Move your body

To the sound beyond the hills

That heals the broken shards

Dance your heart out

#poetry #dance #music

Strong feet, brave heart

A fire had been lit within

Burned for days on end

Searching, looking

Where could the dream be?

A forest, green and lush

The creatues dance and sing

Sun dipping in the horizon

To hide among the stars

Alas, the darkness encroaches

Every place looks the same

Lost among the familiar

Stop, breath and be still

One step, then another

Watching and ready

In the darkness, it seems

Everything is big and daunting

Heart stutters in hummigbird's rhythm

The fire burns, ignites

For there is a treasure to be found

Said they’d live with no regrets

Should have warned them

That it hurt so bad

Perhaps the others were right

They should have chosen differently

Now the darkness encroaches

Frantically they look for help

Only to realize they are the light

They hate us now

But who can tell them not to

After all what is the sun

Without its healing warmth

Empty, ravenous

One who cannot be satisfied

Anger, Hurt, shame

Is it a surprise they found themselves

Kneeling on the edge of the abyss

Hanging on by a thread

Hoping for a saviour.

A chilling sound of laugher

Devoid of joy is heard

I have something to say

Don’t worry it’s not something bad

It’s not something sinister

But it’s been building up in me

Wanting to be let out, like a gyser ready to burst

So give me the chance and, listen.

Stop saying you understand, and listen

Turn off the radio in your mind, and listen

This is important to me, please listen

What am I, if you don’t listen.

My voice trembles, cause it’s rare, you’re listening

I’m vulenerable because you’ll see me when you listen

Please still love me, when you see me

It’s rare when I talk and you listen.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gabriel, happy birthday to you."

Gabriel looked up and his lips tagged into a wistful smile.

"Come on make a wish" someone said

The raven haired young man looked at the cupcake in front him, closed his eyes for a breath then blew out the candle with a trembling breath.

"What did you wish for?"

A tear finally escaped glassy eyes, as he took the a bite of the sweet pastry. He could hardly swallow it past the tightness in his throat. He looked at the empty room, a lone light bulb for company and whispered

"I wish that I wasn't alone anymore"

Precious love

Where I will hold you close

And keep you safe

From the fire that scroches souls

From the water that chips at your spirit

But more than that

I will not suffocate you in my embrace

I will allow you to take flight

To fly high and soar

Remebering you were a gift

But only for a moment in time

To hold but not to keep

I was made strong

Not for glory or splendor

But to keep you safe

Precious love.

There is no luxury of thought

Isn’t that funny

That the only time

Where the mind is quiet

Is when there is no doubt

Of the outcome

Of the demise

Emotions rushing head to toe

But in mind

Is freedom

From idle worry

Because the outcome is inevitable

Scary yet very clear

In a world where clarity surety is rare.

Hope in despair.

#poetry #challenge

there is life, there is hope

a silent sill voice watches, breathes, is

when the sound of chaos abide

the sound of the trumpet is heard

loud, clear and only in the silence

because where there is silence

there is peace

Means to turn intense frustration

Into fuel that drives you

i am feeling very kuyashi right now

what exactly do i desire to say

why aren't the words coming out

stuck like my unfulfiled expectations

this burning passion

the suffocation of this self created maze

spinning in circles in unclear ambiguation

Kuyashi

Argh i wanted it so bad

questions of resignation, float around my head

like stale dust and ungranted wishes

because how could I smile if i won like that

this defeat tastes like tough love

when i feel as fragile as cracked glass

i wanted to win but you were clearly better

kuyashi

You have my gratitude

Because you like speckled glass

were the refection that revealed my weak self,

But, i'll get you back 100 fold, no 1000 fold

the bitterness in the pit of my stomatch

will fertilize the growth of the wings

that will take me higher, because

massive success as the best revenge

Kuyashi
