True Color
Shades of them
Shade of me
And then
For a reason
There
You're
And less is more
Maybe
Just maybe
Where there
Is Art
There you're
For all to see
Shade of me
And then
For a reason
There
You're
And less is more
Maybe
Just maybe
Where there
Is Art
There you're
For all to see

The darkest rose.
She lay the white
Floral across the shop of vintage view with the image of garden harden by soil
And green leaf.
A dot pink to doctor by.

There are two ways
Of holding hands
One that rescues
One that bands
TO GATHER

Mind Trap
desolation under a
fractured moon
dangles from a branch
a mind trapped in time
essence imprisoned
trinity within sight
the innocent
watcher watches
but nobody sees
or understands
fractured moon
dangles from a branch
a mind trapped in time
essence imprisoned
trinity within sight
the innocent

Mother Of Worlds
noble seed within
one dies
while another is reborn
perpetual motion of your labour
taken for granted
children flicker and swirl
amidst destruction and strife
you cling to love and life
one dies
while another is reborn
perpetual motion of your labour
taken for granted
children flicker and swirl
amidst destruction and strife
you cling to love and life

Pistanthrophobia
the well is
completely empty
walls built high
tired of silly games
fearful and alone in a
crowded room
where a heart quietly beats
completely empty
walls built high
tired of silly games
fearful and alone in a
crowded room
where a heart quietly beats

Granules
How big
And small
This planet is
We are not much more
Than a grain of sand
On the empty beaches
Of infinity

A succinct, though vaguely fuzzy, definition of one who is a witch
She operates with her spirituality through the application of magical techniques
(Apologies for the gendered use of "She*")
