The Dance of the Flames of the Soul

Flicker, Fire

    Burn and warm them

Flicker, Fire

     Light their way

Flicker, Fire

     Grant them light

          Here tonight

   Sparking feelings long since gone

Dance, Fire.

     Reflect in beautiful eyes

Dance, Fire

      Fill them with joy

Dance, Fire

       Here tonight

                Give them fight

         Open their eyes to nature's gifts

Burn, Fire

           Reflect in their hearts

Burn, Fire

           Inside and out

Burn, Fire

           Here tonight

                 Light the light

         See the beauty of the smoke in eyes

Flicker, Fire

       Dance, Fire.

                Burn, Fire.

Light the light of love in your light tonight

It's been awhile... My roommate left her lighter in the living room. I flicked it on. This is what I thought of. Enjoy:)

Fight Fight Fight

Red lips

   with secrets to whisper

Blue eyes

   that hide her soul

Blonde hair

    often misjudge her

Crooked smile

     that never fails

            What you don't know

                 Is the fight inside

             the battle she fights

                        every single day

    Her darkness 

            Her light

       They fight

                       fight

                              fight

And she goads them on.

           So will you love her?

   and help her

               fight

                      fight

                               fight

Or will you leave her to fight on her own?

She can…

    But she'd love your help.

              So love her

        help her

  So she can win this

                      fight

                            fight

                                   fight

***************************************************************

I was wearing red lipstick one day and thought up this piece. Enjoy :)

Out of the Dark

Come out of the dark
  Come into my mind
Get out of my mind
  And into my arms

Fall into the darkness that entraps me now

  But it can't stay dark
 With you here too

There is some light I find
   As I hear your voice that haunts the dark corridors
 Or I think of your eyes, flashes of lightening
        Or your radiant smile guiding my ways.

I find enough that I can follow sparks to where you are.

But, love, it will only get stronger
    Last longer...
If you come.

Come out of the dark
   Come light up my mind
 Get into my mind
    And I'll fall into your arms

Turn down the darkness.
   And move me to light.

Come on, honey...
        Save my life.

***********************************************************
So I was lying in bed one night and it was pitch black with the exception of light coming from under the door. That inspired this piece. Enjoy :)

Turn To The East

Looking towards the west

    and the dreary sky

          Clouded

       Dark

                 Crying

Is what lies ahead of me

I hear a crack of Lightning

    Turn to the East

 And see the sky afire

      if only for a moment

Thunder resonates in my soul

     There are peepholes in the clouds

  That remind me of the beautiful blue sky

          Hidden from view

                   Peaceful

               Serene

  Behind the tumultuous storm

The Lightning Struck in your soul

    and resonated in mine…

Now tell me, dear,

   Did you hear the Thunder?

*****************************************************************************************

I just returned from serving  a mission in Mesa, AZ. Whilst there, I aw many beautiful things in nature and in the people around me. I fell in love with lightning and thunder storms in AZ and had to write something about them... This was my final result. Enjoy:)

Walk in the Rain

What I love about rain...
  When you walk in it,
 you can cry and no one can tell.

You can let the tears fall down your face
  And no one will wonder why they fall

They'll look like raindrops floating down.
  That have dripped on your head.

Walking in the rain means
  I can cry and feel anything I want,

 And no one will ask me why.

This is the only thing that makes the constant rain worthwhile

With A Smile

I'll walk through Hell with a smile
  I'll remember who is with me
    I'll remember that things get better
      I'll remember that life isn't everything that is at this moment
        I'll remember that this isn't going to be forever
 
        I'll stay strong
          I'll cry my eyes out
            I'll make it through with scars
              I'll live.
                I'll survive.
                  I'll walk through Hell with a smile


    And the Devil can't do anything to stop me.

**************************************************************************

I wrote this as I sat thinking about adversity and hard times. It's always easier when you can find a silver lining. If you can smile through your trials in life, the Devil will have a harder time dragging you down. Enjoy:)

Haphazardly

Yes, that's my heart on the table.
  It's bruised
        battered
         broken
Haphazardly held together with duct tape and zip ties.

You want to fix it?
  HA! I've heard that line so many times now.

And you know what?
  No one ever has. They just cause more damage in the effort.

So guess what?
  I'll just do it myself this time.

I know what it's supposed to look like,
   I'll put it back together.

I don't need your help.

*************************************************************************

A poem about taking things into your own hands. Enjoy:)

The Science of Heartbreak

It's human nature.
   We long for another.

Being alone isn't natural.

   It's our chemical make up.

It's the science of it.
   It's the science of heartbreak.

Bonds are formed, and broken.
   But without these bonds the atoms we are made of would cease to exist.

Broken. Broken too easily.

Tears are a chemical reaction
    To a broken heart.

The pain is really here.

But that's known.
   It's the science of all of it.

*****************************************************************

So the song "The Scientist" by Coldplay has been stuck in my head since last week's episode of Glee. And I decided to write whilst listening to it. This was the result. Enjoy:)

THE QUEEN OF SNAKES

Do you enjoy being
         The Queen Of Snakes?

Hissing rumors into people's ears
      Stealthily spying on everyone's every move
   Lying to seek revenge.

I know I'd never enjoy that title
               
           THE QUEEN OF SNAKES

What you have done to me
    Is especially snakelike

  I am going to ask you once and for all
               STOP

I think I'm "punished" enough
    For what you are saying I did...

You lie, Your Majesty.
           Her highness, The Queen Of Snakes

*****************************************************************************

I was talking to one of my friends and she said "Why do girls have to be so catty?" I originally wrote this as "The Queen of Cats", but after finishing it changed to snakes because I realized that was the animal I had described more. I hope you like it! Enjoy:)

Scars and Sparkles

I'm covered in scars...
   From injuries over the years.
A sliver in my leg
     A scratch that didn't heal correctly
       An accident that cut my eyebrow

But today i'm also covered in sparkles.
  Sparkles that illuminate my skin.
Sparkles that show a joy found in all my scars.

    Because sparkles are happy.
I've survived all my injuries, all my scars.
   Both inside and out.

So today I'm wearing scars and sparkles.

Showing who I am.

     Scars and Sparkles

*****************************************************************************

I don't know how to describe this poem... Enjoy:)
