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.

Scholar
Great diligent student,
learns lessons to teach,
studies until fluent,
assures goals are reached.
Life is a grand classrooms,
her bright eyes, windows.
in her mind seeds bloom,
blossom like a rose.
As each hour passes,
dreams grow in real time,
her heart slowly dances,
to wisdoms loud chimes.
Villains in her story,
bask in jaded glory,
her shine clears despair,
shows them how to care.
Wipes away old tears,
obstacles decay,
analysis fears,
and the roles they play.
Smiles at worn past chapters,
used to guide new steps,
reviews every factor,
prepared for the next.

I Want…
I want to be it all,
bring in great success.
Want to be night fall,
give much needed rest.
I want to be the sun,
make all dull things bright.
Want to be the one,
transform “wrongs” to “rights”.
I want to be pure hope,
fight away all screams.
Want to help hearts cope,
paint beautiful dreams.
I want to offer trust,
unlock every cage.
Want to polish rust,
turn to a new page.
I want to be insight,
that kisses bowed heads.
Want to bring warm light,
let love touch and spread.
