Playful Art

Splash my face with rainbow hues,
abstract designs clears off blues.
Creativity flies high,
twinkles brightly from my eyes.

Happy colors paint my mind,
my canvas runs undefined.
Free flow tints without a care,
masterpiece makes my heart dare.

Body sparkles with surprise,
neon splatters so precise.
Parents stop to analyze,
giggles from me paralyze.

They take pictures, to no end,
visuals grow, feelings extend.
Imagination expends,
soapy water is my friend.

Different Ways

True happiness is so unique.
What makes you strong,
can make me weak.

We take views in so distinctly.
Gardens for you,
mountains for me.

Your brazen ways, bring out my coy.
What makes you sad,
can bring me joy.

Dry long straight paths can lead my way.
Puddles and cracks,
can make you sway.

A laugh for you can bear my cry.
What makes both match,
tearful filled eyes.

Natural trees make me feel bright.
The greens you see,
may shade your light.

Clear blissfulness all hearts accept.
What makes pure smiles,
love and respect.

Morning Drink

My nostrils awaken
to the scent of coffee.
Pumpkin foam, unshaken,
pour syrupy toffee.

Arabica so sweet,
the sun fully risen,
early morning treat,
as daily plans glisten.

My eyes fully open,
caffeine sails through my veins,
all restlessness broken
without hardships or strain.

Swift “up to no good” fun,
cool breeze swooshes with zest.
Wild mischievous thoughts run,
fly high like passing guest.

My taste buds still tingle,
with sips I still savor,
as senses all mingle,
to lingered held flavors.

Ready for a great day,
prepared a perfect start.
Know all will be okay,
my warm drink played its part.

Clear Vision

Examine life in every phase,
phases that fly uphill pass tests,
tests of strong will, as all bars raise,
raises all scores, lessons progress.

Progression lives in hopeful minds,
minds open up eyes once shut tight,
tight chokeholds can at times run blind,
blinded by seeds that blur insight.

Insight that flows where there is peace,
peace opens up infinity,
infinite lights let joys release,
releases great prosperity.

Prosper through time naturally,
natural views turn inner keys,
keys that unite laterally,
lateral love form what hearts see.

Haven

Let’s find a place
to disappear,
have fears erase
so sorrows clear.

Let’s run away
just you and me,
this foggy day
will set us free.

Let’s leave behind
old memories,
rebuild refined
lost reveries.

Let’s walk along
the forest trails,
know we belong
with each inhale.

Let’s build a home
of sticks and vines,
a sacred dome
where our love shines.

Let’s enjoy days
imminently,
laugh as we play
infinitely.

Power Tools

A little girl navigates life,
while gaining tools to conquer strife,
learning great lessons everyday,
she gains new ones along the way.

When a harsh patch is driving near,
her inner guides always appear,
with strong gadgets within her shed,
their wise advice erase all dread.

Wipes away rough edges she meets,
saws off the tough parts, being sweet.
Some people can be tough as nails,
her hammer shines so ego sails.

Those dense as wood still see her light,
she sharpens minds with her insight.
Carves out sorrows, so peace can soothe,
sands sorrows down to make days smooth.

Vinegar soaks remove old rust,
true empathy inspires trust.
A smile could melt a solid heart,
torched by affection from the start.

Powerful gloves protect her hands,
sacred pure touch lets love expand.
Kindness and warmth flow through her core,
affects that link forever more.

Found Voice

Timid eyes,
head bowed down,
too afraid to want for more.
Scared to try,
filled with clouds,
search hard for an inner roar.

Shaky hands,
posture slumped,
weighted efforts holds down score.
Nothing lands,
always dumped,
can not grasp the slightest roar.

Shuts down mind,
pure love flies,
lands securely at his core.
Treats self kind,
heartbeats rise,
whispers soft purrs, still no roar.

Full of peace,
insides sing,
expectations land ashore.
Filled with ease,
like a king,
life vibrates to his strong roar.

Bond

Breathe peace with me,
as our hearts beat,
our love flies free,
sacred paths meet.
Great hopes to share
all I have learned,
clear from all fears
or drawn concerns.

Know you can reach
all goals when set,
when insecure,
then give your best.
If when time rings,
plans do not come,
life surely brings,
some better ones.

My precious child,
beautiful pearl,
so warm and mild,
you are my world.
Inhale all views,
to understand,
gain comes through truths,
without demands.

Gifts from above,
rests within you,
drink from pure love,
then share it too.
Refill your fuel,
it goes both ways,
if mutual,
love never sways.

Take sound advice
from proven hands,
thoughts that are wise
rarely command,
avoid debates,
self resonate,
open the gate,
to a bright fate.

Kindred Spirit

With me everyday and night,
feel your essence, always bright.
Chase off darkness with pure light,
change mistakes from wrong to right.

Silhouette, carries great ease.
Silhouette, worries decrease.
Silhouette, flows with the breeze.
Silhouette, bringer of peace.

Whisper thoughts so I create,
in my mind your voice narrates.
Teach me all your wisest traits,
help me turn good into great.

Outline of clear purity.
Outline holds security.
Outline provides clarity.
Outline gives prosperity.

Close my eyes, know you are there,
heartbeats show how much you care.
Divine love, treasure so rare,
connection beyond compare.

Shadow lets my heart fly free.
Shadow traces what I see.
Shadow foresees what will be.
Shadow lives deep within me.

Camaraderie

Sun shine on the meadow,
grass from green to yellow,
warm breeze that feels mellow,
serenity echoes.

Three ponies roaming free,
fill my day with pure glee.
Lessons from what I see,
set my perceptions free.

They all feed off the land,
and somehow understand,
that right from where they stand,
nature offers her hand.

Beautiful and serene,
inhale this gorgeous scene,
of a precise routine,
a fellowship so sheen.

Within this large clear space,
choosing to interlace,
they each find their own place,
invisible embrace.
