"Smells like Autumn" by Elexer Lyra

Smells like Autumn

By Elexer Lyra

Nutmeg and cinnamon,

pumpkin in pie shape,

silk touches taste buds

and glides down

with grace

like the tangerine,

lemon,

and cherry leaves.

"Unspoken"by Elexer Lyra

Unspoken

by Elexer Lyra

Twisting thoughts

on parchment paper

wings,

flutter through the

hearts

of overactive souls.

 Body full of

words unwritten,

run from heart

to head,

pulsing to be

spoken.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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?

"Wind Dancers" by Elexer

Wind Dancers

by Elexer

Dancing in the wind

Of crashing surf.

Pulling in the kind

to keep me sure

And safe

In this place

Of turbulent waters.

Grace your 

Face

Upon this soft

Salt air.

Keeping me there,

with you,

in this dance.

 

The Heavens' Gift By Elexer

The Heavens' Gift 

 By Elexer

Quiet pool

Of helium laughter

Sputters

At my dream

Of seemingly

Detached wisdom.

Merry meet

Are

The war

Songs

Of The Heavens'

Trumpet.

Locks and Boxes by Elexer

Locks and Boxes

by Elexer

The lock 

and key 

to my soul 

is not a one-way street

you can tear up with your

lyrical jackhammer's,

spilling my majesty 

into the sewer

with your language.

Locking

me up

behind a wall of religious

illusions

of me trying to be myself

and the perfection you will never see.

These rainbows

are my protectors 

and this box

is my chastity belt.

Visions of Stillness

Visions of Stillness

By Elissa Rosenthal

Purple silk brushes my face
like fingertips.
Hovering over my eyes
the intertwined cells 
grasp one-another
with their warm embraces.  
Scents of floral perfumes
engross me
and float my subconscious mind
to a habitation 
of spectacular honey.
Let me nest 
with this passion
in these visions 
of stillness.  

Luck of a Dragonfly by Elissa Rosenthal

Luck of a Dragonfly 

By Elissa Rosenthal

Take my good luck
into your peace of light.
Willing hopeful wishes
into your grand fortnight.

Release the lucky spark
to others in your world,
for I have given you 
a time to make your pearl.

Shadow

Shadow

By Elissa Rosenthal

Lavender lilies spring from the spring,

Watching as the mermaids sing.

Screeching their songs of woe,

For the world.

Burning fumes of fog,

Wallow and whirl.

Drowning out the wishes of onlookers,

Seeing with blind eyes in shadow.

 

Puncture

Puncture

By Elissa Rosenthal

Scathing,

Writhing,

Structure pronounced as one of the most sound,

Seethes every time it touches the ground.

Electricity wraps and climbs,

Each weak point sought out and entwined.

Elixir comes in slow downs,

Escaping aches by raising off pounds.

Supple softness brings no strength,

Every hard crackle prevents a scrape.
