A sweet summer soul
With a mind shrouded in blue
She only wishes to fly
Sing a lonely bird’s song
Longing to become one with the sky too

You.
Every time you smile
Everything blooms
Wonderous flowers emerge
Reaching for your warmth
The stars shine brighter
In hopes of receiving your attention
For when you smile
It’s like the earth stops spinning
Just for a moment
Just to appreciate you.

After Sunset
Beneath the melting sun
Is a girl on the run.
Sunset breathes fire into her pale hair
Glowing
It’s almost too much to bare.
She must escape from the grasp
Keep her heart clasped.
For she knows nothing
Of the darkness lying in her path.

Rare perspectives
It takes a special mind
One filled with empathy and compassion
For all creatures of our world.
One that wishes no pain
No hatred or destruction
Upon any living thing
To recreate Earth
Into pure magnificence.

The mind is a snake
Sharp spires
Piercing through the veil
Injecting their venom
Masterfully woven into you
Haulting
Suffocating
Drowning the refuges
That provide solace
With dripping fangs and irrational fears.
You must step away
Suck out the poison.
Find the missing pieces
Take it all back
Your thoughts
Feelings
Allow them to be their own again.

Enlighten
A darkness that consumes everything in its path has taken hold of her heart, of her soul.
She looks into the void, all emotions are lost, swallowed by the demon.
Her fingers scrape at the walls in attempt to flee, but there is nothing that will set her free.
Only after screaming
Slashing
Cutting
Tearing
The depths begin to lighten
As he breaks through the layers of black.
Like a portal he shines, surrounded by the darkness his aura flares in contrast.
His hazel eyes rip through the demons taking refuge in her mind. Slipping his warmth through the cracks in the void.
Enveloping her fragile heart in sunshine.
He enlightens her tormented soul, transforms her into his shimmering angel.

First night
“I can’t stop
thinking about that night
when you kissed me
and how our bodies
felt like they had
already known
each other
somehow.”
To my little sister.
No expectations
Of the demons taking refuge
Inside your mind
Clawing, tearing away
The pieces of you that make who you are
They arrive unannounced and uninvited
They want to feel you bleed
Feast off your insecurities
There’s no running from these demons
They’re trapped inside your mind
Wreaking havoc every day.
In an attempt to make you blind
From the beautiful world that surrounds you
Surprises you
Teaches you new skills everyday.
I pray you’ll fight the demons
That keep you from the light of the world
Pray that you won’t let yourself get so cold.

Fear
Fear has two meanings:
Face everything and run
Or
Face everything and rise.
