"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.
