Reflection
Of perfection, a lie
A trick to mimic the distant sky
A simple touch revealed all that you have concealed
Murky your aura, a soul unlit
Underneath you are a
Counterfeit

Shadow Stalker
He slinks amidst shadows in the cloak of night.
Evil flows through his veins with wicked intent,
He’s a predator in search of souls to smite.
A horror enticed by desperation’s scent,
He’s a fiendish relic from another age,
He finds sustenance within other’s lament.
His charred face is gnarled in hideous rage,
Eyes burn crimson like the blood of his victims.
He’s ravenous, ruthless and on a rampage.
Once you’re detected, suffering this way comes.
He will rip out your heart, devour your soul,
Your merciful pleas fall upon deaf eardrums.
When done with your spirit, he’ll eat your heart whole,
Leave your husk to rot, and resume his patrol.
School’s Out!
Balloons filled with water
Instead of air.
Family trips to
The county fair.
Take your best friend
To the park.
Your curfew is now
Just before dark.
Hit the beach,
Splash in its shores.
Start a campfire,
Roast some smores.
Take a boat to
Your fishing spot.
Eat a popsicle when
It gets too hot.
Go on a road trip,
See all the sights.
Witness billions of stars
On clear summer nights.
Take in a parade
On the 4th of July.
Grab a kite
And let it fly.
Explore your world
On a bike,
Or find a trail
And take a hike.
Run through a sprinkler
Laugh as you play.
Read a book
On a rainy day.
Squirt gun attack ~
Dive in the pool!
Hooray today is
The last day of school!

Beach Day
We arrived before the break of day,
When sunlight shared its first ray.
Worry washed away
By surf’s spray.
Sea
We took naps in the sand where we lay,
Dove in rolling waves to play.
Worry washed away
By surf’s spray.
Glee
We lingered until sundown’s display,
Awe struck by color’s array.
Worry washed away
By surf’s spray.
Free
Prism
I once believed I was devoid of light,
That nothing from within me radiated.
My sun had set casting eternal night.
I kept my dark heart alone and gated.
In a chance meeting my soul would ignite,
It was for him that my daybreak waited.
He is the prism through which my rays pass.
I’ve found a full spectrum of love at last.
