Harmony

I have a feeling I live downtown

the smudge across the back of my eyes, as I walk into the city, sparkle in amethyst

I knew back then that this was my dream

I told myself it was written in the stars, the energy inside me swirls like a galaxy

I did the work, my hands euphoric in the dirt, in my garden

all the dead ends are now burnt

/

I went through the flames, my skin was burnt

the aesthetics of my –mine- downtown

there are flowers being sold in storefronts, I buy the seeds local, for my garden

I twirl at my side a stone, amethyst

my brain thinks in stars around stars my aura a galaxy

the past, now, feels like a fever dream

/

this was my American Dream

I was so cold, freezer burnt

I had what I wanted this whole time – space Art options to choose from – spinning galaxy

i’m happy, strolling against the wind, in my city, downtown

i’ve got my Candy: selenite, tourmaline, amethyst

my crystals hang, chandeliers, around the bed, my garden

/

I like to dig in the dirt and get dirty in the garden

it’s surreal i’m living my dream

my crown ignited – purple – amethyst

clap my hands the lights turn off, the bulb is burnt

the strings of sparkling lights are a party downtown

i’m with my niche my team reality from a dream

/

the World is my container, this galaxy

my rooftop garden

is a view – I can view downtown

it’s pretty it’s a dream

I can’t tell you the last time I felt burnt

on my necklace wrapped handmade an amethyst

/

lavender incense in my room reminds me of amethyst

I feel around me the galaxy

i’m never tired never burnt

I see flowers my heart is a garden

the blooming scent unseen it smells of lillies of a dream

i’m writing my next book now in my favorite coffee shop downtown.

Sugar baby

my room is in order with the view of a tornado

I hate this energy- coming soon: monsoon

I’m standing as a hurricane

my head hurts and it throbs my eye

I crave my body feels silence

kindness in yellow

/

is it soft is it pale – the yellow

I hide away from the tornado

outside has an eerie feel to it, silence

besides the bugs chirping- I feel itchy in my body, in my head, under my eyes, I can feel the monsoon

i’m standing in the eye

in the middle of the hurricane

/

I see the sky is blue, I’m not blind, how do I unfeel this hurricane

at least I see the neon sign in yellow

I follow it with a gaze with my left eye

that sees in double- twisting and turning from the tornado

tis the season of the monsoon

your presence is silence

/

it’s words and feelings and work to do, when I’m writing, at least it’s dimming into silence

I actually like the feeling of being in my house during a hurricane

it was fun as a child, the tears are ripe in my stomach, coming soon, monsoon

it’s funny how the sun lights the greens in yellow

how do I talk down a tornado

a natural phenomenon- it is where I keep my eye

/

there isn’t time for my eye

it heals in silence

will you just pick me up and take me away from here tornado?

I can’t escape the hurricane

maybe if I look at the sun long enough all that grey will turn yellow

I’m begging for the monsoon-

/

I want my tears to release the monsoon

I believe in relief- salty water drips, this time, from my left eye

that’s how I know it hurts- color scheme: purple, green, yellow

my worries, surrounded by these colors, feels silence

how do I tell you there is a chaotic red circulating in my blood- hurricane

it’s in more order now like the tornado

April 26, (4) rain showers

I looked in the pool and saw my face in the reflection

it was a warm day, yellow orb in the blue sky- sunshine

I like when it pokes through the trees- the light

I wonder what it would say- my aura

I still believe in myself like I do a fairy

I think I am emanating magenta– –

/

I have colors all over my room, a dead rose in a mythical vase, magenta

my TV stares back at me: my window my outline – a reflection

I have a cauldron, cooking, who I became – radiating as a fairy

my open window warms my room from the sunshine

strong and excited– in my aura

my words speak through colors and light –

/

I have crystals secured on my body, holding onto the light

hot pink, bubblegum pink, no– magenta

can you see me? from where you’re standing, can you feel my aura?

I write words down, down, down: a reflection

I won’t go outside – I will admire from where I sit- the sunshine

When is my time to be what I crave– the fairy

/

I carry sparkles on my body, I am a fairy

the dim darkness wants to feel the light

just walk out, outside, into the sunshine

let the warmth color my cheeks, magenta

what if I’m okay where I am – a better reflection

I know the volume is loud seeping from my aura

/

I’m feeling fluffy unicorn pink aura

little twinkle starlight fairy

my mirror, a portal, all I can see is my future reflection

take a stick place the incense and light

it smells of magenta

I can see in the sunshine

/

light up my life, sunshine

Life, brighten my aura

paint my nails– orange- I’m feeling so magenta

dazzle me summer sun showers on my head mushroom circle lives the fairy

entering the realm I follow the light

I know this Unknown world is my reflection
