"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.

"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.
