The Light of Darkness
All alone in this darkness, I stand in isolation. I look upward through the void towards your holy light. My wings are restless from constantly flapping in this windless vacuum called space. I’m unable to reach you, yet you continue to shine brightly. You continue to cause me pain by teasing me with the false hope of reaching you. Go away… Leave me alone… Your light only causes my darkness to feel pain, your light only serves to magnify my solitude. You make me want what I can’t have, need what I’ll never know. You are light years away yet you continue to shine. Why do you urge me to come t
I've tried before
To touch the sky
I've tried to make amends
With the gods of the clouds
The kings of the stars
But they seem to ignore me
Set on destroying me
Mocking me continuously
Knocking me down endlessly
Pulling my strings
Making me dance
Taking so much
Giving nothing in return
I've tried
But I've never been able
To touch the sky
I float amongst the clouds
And sit on the moon at night
But the stars remain too far
Just beyond my reach
I grasp and plead
Beg and stretch
But I never reach far enough
I never try hard enough
My arms aren't long enough
My will isn't strong enough
I'll never manage
To touch the sky

Into The Stars - Awareness of the Arts Entry
i.
Asteria,
I told you not to look down.
You've stained your feet in
dirt and glitter-drops of rain.
I told you to keep above the clouds.
ii.
Zephyr,
your twin Aether is fading into the dawn.
We've all come from the stars but
it seems someone forgot
to remind us to return.
iii.
Violet skies are full of lies.
Ripples of ice cold salty water splashed against the rim of the rock pool, trickling over the smooth stone and sinking into the sandy earth. Pale ferns rimmed the pool, their long tendrils skimming the surface in a soundless dance, and at the bottom round pebbles lay like watching eyes, staring up to where the moon gazed into the pools circular depth. It was deep enough for a grown man to stand submerged and silent enough to hear each drop of water make its way from the pools safety and to the ground which the ferns erupted from. The silence was almost deadly, the air so thick with fear that it smothered the rock pool in a dark foreboding sha
‘But I don’t feel like going dancing,’ Aurora pouts, leaning her chin on her hand as she rests her elbow on her vanity’s counter. Gauging her mother’s reaction in the mirror, she adds, ‘No one will even be able to see me out there.’
Corona continues to calmly brush her daughter’s hair. ‘It’s not about being seen. You know that. We’re doing this for them.’ Directing a pointed look at Aurora via the mirror – telling her she knows just how much the teenager is fighting to roll her eyes at her soft-hearted Mama – she puts the brush down. ‘Now, are you ready

Love Me Like The Stars
My heart is a galaxy
swelling with shooting
stars and passing comets,
rocky asteroids and alien
worlds; stardust pumps
violently through my veins
when you touch me so.
I become a supernova
when our lips meet.
