"Cinders" by Elexer Lyra

Cinders

By Elexer Lyra

Scolding pencil tips

melt into my veins.

A cauldron is alight

to hone the fire

of pen and paper,

lit by moonlight.

Hair catches the flame

and fills the brain

with motion,

until the body glimmers.

The last stroke makes me

cinders.

"Kaleidoscope Rainbow" By Elexer Lyra

Kaleidoscope Rainbow

By Elexer Lyra

I change my colors

To match my soul.

I am not stagnant

Like a pond,

Happy with the smells

Of a complacent life.

I am,

More one color

Then the next.

Never a flat shade.

I have edges of emerald

And violet,

To breath in the grass

Between my toes.

Onyx centers

Grounding me.

Always moving thoughts.

Triangles of indigo

And tangerine,

Lend me knowledge

Between the pages

Of books

And experiences.

I am a kaleidoscope rainbow.

"Visions of Mermaids" By Elexer Lyra

Visions of Mermaids

By Elexer Lyra

Water falls on my body

Like a cold iceberg. Lilly

Showers powder silk-like skin,

As the thrust of winter winds

Brush my hair with delicate

Grace. Plucking articulate 

Vocal cords.

"Dancing With Succulents" by Elexer Lyra

"Dancing With Succulents" 

By Elexer Lyra

Silent strokes

Of dancers

Feet,

Floating

Through air

With sweet

Longing.

For Summer’s,

Drying dreams

Of Gaia’s

Ice,

Melting,

In earth,

To meet

Lips quenched.

"Thoughts of Swimming" by Elexer Lyra

Thoughts of Swimming

By Elexer Lyra

Can you hold me close,

Like a jellyfish?

But not with

As much sting?

We are together,

But not everything.

You are my closest friend,

Who whispers thoughts of triumph-

Or false information.

  Can you be the parent 

Within my mind?

One, which says I can swim

and not drown?
