is quite unique.
Out of the box,

heart never shrinks.
Smooth attitude,

Great distinct friend,

as boredom runs.
A concrete bond,
two beings share,
hearts see beyond,
synchronized pair.
Happiness pours,
sorrows abort,
hard to ignore,
cherished support.

Eye in the sky,

Inner Whispers
Hums words with pictures,
set deep in her mind,
colors turn intense,
as she paints her rhymes.
Rhymes open deep zones,
that flow by non-stop,
they carry mixed tones,
quite smooth yet so sharp.
Sharp shadows that dance,
inside of her head,
link lyrics with tunes,
sewn tight with clear thread.
Thread made of blocked dreams,
that somehow feel real,
profound messages,
made of tarnished steel.
Steel polished stainless,
reflect pretty views,
finished so shiny,
yet still far from new.
New adventures loom,
with no start or end,
instantly expands,
to somehow extend.
Extends ever far,
blasts past time and space,
intricate designs,
with touches of grace.
Graceful tough lessons,
appear in great sums,
to sketch all portraits,
her silent words hum.

Little Artist
Embrace true joy,
creative ride,
timeout from noise,
lock it outside,
Art cheers inside,
begs to fly free,
colors decide,
to glide with glee.
Rainbow of oils,
palette at hand.
ideas boil,
no pre set plan.
Pretty bright tones,
help visions grow,
within a zone,
true passion flows.
White wall holds scenes,
gifted with paint.
like a machine,
without restraint.
Observe the brush,
move with great ease,
happily gush,
fine masterpiece.
