"Today is a Beautiful Mess" By Elexer Lyra

Today is a Beautiful Mess

By Elexer Lyra

Today is a beautiful mess.

Desk full of useful clutter

given no place to officially be,

but a spot I know where it is.

Headphones are on one side

on top of small blankets of paper,

on the other a lamp is having a 

conversation with a stranded

bottle cap.

 Ginger candy is hiding under

a coupon sheet,

wanting to be eaten, 

but my mind rejects as

a slight throbbing occurs under

damp, long, and heavy hair. 

"Welcoming Autumn" By Elexer Lyra

Welcoming Autumn

By Elexer Lyra

Fox of mellow nature

meet the windy

autumn of your ancestors.

The once young leaves

now fall

as you will once

your time comes.

Embrace the quite

letting go of 

worries

made by the 

soundproofing

which has fallen

and is now underfoot.

"Mother Luna" By Elexer Lyra

Mother Luna

By Elexer Lyra

Mother Luna,

love and light,

create the sky 

I see tonight.

Guide me through

my painful nights,

in hope that I will

be alright

in the end.

You are my forever 

friend 

of reflecting day.

Glistening the sorrows 

and mind trips away,

you listen 

to the inner creases 

of my mind.

Reminding me how

you are a kind

pool of whispers,

telling me now

that I am beautiful,

no matter what 

the thoughts

say.

"Listen to the Ocean" By Elexer Lyra

Listen to the Ocean

By Elexer Lyra

Coastal waters 

of understanding

wash over me

in a blanket

of gratitude

and warmth.

As your lips move

and mine

stay silent.

Your words are threads 

of fishing line

tying my mouth 

shut. 

"Mazes of Success" by Elexer Lyra

Mazes of Success

By Elexer Lyra

Turning paths of

metropolis

circles in meditative

mazes of thought.

Motivational posters

for the finish line

with no hint of it's

location.

Found only by those

who kneel,

dig with bare hands,

forget the maze,

and find the tunnels

lined with gold.
