"Friends of Luna" By Elexer Lyra



Friends of Luna

By Elexer Lyra



Luna illuminates our care
as you hold my hand
and I pet your hair.

Light of nightly troubles
helps wash them away.

You are my friend. 
You are my Luna.
You are my light.

"Grasp Your Stars" by Elexer Lyra




Grasp Your Stars

by Elexer Lyra




You are more
than your work.

You are worth 
the effort.

Play with your ball,
lay on your back,
and see the stars.

Grasp them
with your unleashed mind.

"Sky of Never-ending Wishes" by Elexer Lyra

Sky of Never-ending Wishes

By Elexer Lyra



As I go,
know,
I love you.

I will not
leave
for long.

You will see
my shadow,
and hear
my song. 

The brush
against 
your leg,
the weight
on your feet,
the scratching
at the door,
more than your
memories
of me.

Though now 
is hard,
and I understand
why,
keep your head up.
Your dreams belong 
in reality
and not 
in the sky
of never-ending 
wishes.

"Caught In Numbers" by Elexer Lyra



Caught In Numbers

By Elexer Lyra




Caught,
In-between fighting,
For my individuality,
And fighting,
For my future.

In the end,
Will I only be a number?
The number
Of tattoos I have,
The number
Of piercings I can have,
The number
Of how many times I think I've messed up
While others say it's okay.

Statistics make up this world,
And,
Make me feel stone-faced.

How do I make the statistics work for me,
Instead of,
Making my heart race
Under the intensity
That I will never be good enough?

Which is funny,
To me,
Because I think everyone else is.
