Message from the Fire

A flicker or blaze, an energetic haze, 
Separate we know but destined to grow 
Destruction or grace, defining your face, 
Removing the mask is all that I ask

Fear not my power I will never devour
Embers or Ash between I can lash
Once was a spark, now I've been through the dark
I burn to the ground or make the world renowned

Shadows cast or electric blast, a merging beam in the space in between
Heated expression confused with aggression 
Enchantment I speak sometimes only a squeak 
A roar to explore, you know you want more
A rage on the stage that illuminates the page

Within you, my stance, protecting the space 
Flames in a trance, where each has its place
Lighting your path from hellfire's wrath
An inferno of love from heaven above

A dance of romance if only for expanse
Colours entwining, in perfect timing
.....
Receive me dear one, I am just like the sun.
The times I disarm, I mean you no harm
So watch with amaze or join in the phase
Fan my flames or just call me those names

But promise me, the fire, you won't let it expire
Go forth and inspire I always admire
Experience my duty so you can express your beauty 
Let me ignite you higher, take a leap with the fire and share your heart's desire

Letter of Gaia Sophia

Submerged in plastic she gasped for real life 
Entangled intrusion seeking the knife

Misunderstood, wires crossed, lids with no base, 
Dismembered in self exploring the space

Something so real on a quest to be seen
Surrounded by things so false may it seem

Was it only a dream? 

Manufactured, invented, a web of real lies, 
A weaving beneath of her sacred real eyes

Different world her tail, heart of pure dust
Memory echoing true blue of magick's deep trust

Jellyfish suck her emotion, her body so demure 
Knowing piercing the veil of this I am sure

What creature is this? With creatrix I go

The Silence beyond the silence, the murmur we know
Magnificent world of which does she flow?
Existing a balance in two worlds we grow

Temper the flame so we can deeply reside,
Where art meets au natural, a blur with definitive divide

Do you see what is there or our eternal despair?
A mirror of truth or effect of the air?

Drowning in fusion, shadows of the light 
Love of the real hidden in plain sight
Her soul of crystal water desperate to fight

Born of the sea yet contained in a tub 
Freedom in dream yet existing in a meme

What beautiful chaos we make of this life 
Turn water to source, the origin we divorce

The lids with their base no longer ignored
Both sides of the coin so thoroughly explored
 
Untangle those thoughts, wishes honoured no fear
The Queen of the ocean shall forever be near

Starseed Rumbles

Infinite trust, magic dust
Starburst world, emotions unfurled
Share with them my dreams, sometimes only my screams
Wishing they'd believe but they receive like I deceive

No-one comforts like the breeze, I can't even sneeze 
A hallway of conditions, always asking for permissions 
The truth I speak yet they tell me it's cheek
Desperate to be held but instead I feel repelled 

Teddy always understands, he never demands 
Listening to my troubles after I play in the bathtime bubbles 
Underneath this happy facade, my heart is raging mad
Searching for my Dad but all I hear is I've been bad
 
My imagination rejected just like I suspected
Visions appear so real, terrified to feel
I wake under the sea or on top of the debree
Dimensions of reality all existing in the one duality
 
Enchanted forest of fairies, mystical creatures and other delights
Sparkling, spinning and swirling hidden deep within depths of the nights
Then it comes, the shift, like I've been dropped from a cliff 
The pits of hell, like being under a spell
Lake of fire and nothing I desire
 
Stay for the ride, I can't decide 
Self trapped inside or sitting beside 
Into the void I gaze, wondering how to escape this maze
How can I heal when I need my next meal

I seek the solace before she calls us
As I play in the garden, hoping the flowers to soften my harden 
Listening to the trees sometimes brings me to my knees
Yet I find a safe haven next to the raven

Waiting for the wisdom in the moments of freedom 
Or gasping for air, suffocated under the stair
Did I wake on the wrong planet? I ask my friend Janet 
Often unseen, or so it may seem
Can't catch a break, I'm always on the stake
 
Returning from my distress, perceiving beyond the mess
Finding balance in the surveillance, Angelic guidance through the silence
Wanting to run, did I take the wrong turn?
Validation within, I will always confirm 
Its just sometimes that rumble that makes me fumble

Electrical charge I need to discharge
Out of my container, trying not to be a complainer 
To a fantasy I leave, to find much needed reprieve
Slipping between the cracks, avoiding the impacts

Living in both worlds and neither yet still I am a believer 
Secrets I know of the night, they sometimes give me a fright 
I remember I am strong, even if I don't belong 
Never left in the dark with the Divine spark 

At times it's tragic, but I never miss the magic
Godspeed, thy Starseed!
Assist in times of need, be sure I will indeed
