Differences: A poem by Danielle Grace. There are facts that some are now recognizing Which I've known all my life, The color of one's skin can cause entire races public strife; The gender of a birth can suddenly void one's proven expertise, And if you change that gender some think your sense has ceased; People call you out of your name for loving differently than religious laws, Some just assume you are not equal if your views don't mesh in voting stalls; People put you into foreign boxes when your moxie inspires movements, So many try to tear you down through violence, If peaceful protest yields improvements.

The Price Of Jade

Jade Cortlandt would love to mind her own business, but an obsessed general won't leave her alone. It isn't her fault she's a biological weapon. She didn't ask for governmental interference in her birth, or to be caught in a game of cat and mouse.

Immediate heritage background: Roman/S'varrian (father), Indian/Portuguese (mother).

#DearSanta
Dear Santa, I will never be The one content To simply sit upon your knee. I demand your attention In every possible universe— I am a star around which worlds revolve in awe And lesser beings burn. Do not ask me to give time to the next thing stood in line; Ask only what I desire For, the cosmos cannot rest until I deem it so. I mean to devour all your power, so know... I can never be content To simply sit upon your knee. Poem by Danielle Grace

#Reflection
#poetry
#poetrylovers
Reflection Rejoice in life and happiness The ringing of every bell Resounds to the tympanic essence That echoes through your mind Forget the thoughts of innocence Each new birth renews its meaning Permits melodic pureness to fade Forever to disintegrate in time The voices call a thousand times But what fate is to capture the sound Of reason and listen to hear The sweet soprano of their harmonic song The heart twines with a million strings Plucked into a blazing symphony The rapturous calliope lost in soft Caresses of beauty and delight Release the tone of vibrance Cry out to your own desires The orchestra of Passion’s slaves bow low in pain and wondrous pleasure Let the music sweep you away into the deepest depths of your soul know yourself in the intimacies Of a life inside these mirrored walls.

Insatiably Me Heat rises from fantasies Burning me up with fire To touch and taste To have and hold Both corporeal and soul Yet, I need more than hollow ghosts to own I want more than more: Serve me things and flesh Secure me riches and glory Where everything and everyone becomes mine in entirety: Give me whatever stirs desire! Fulfill me until I explode, Then give those pieces of me even more... There is no shame to tame this constant hunger. Written by Danielle Grace

Or So I've Heard... On wind into ears carried Swirled under sands hastily buried By a lover's soul nixed over impropriety unfixed Secrets of iniquity Treasures of antiquity bandied upon waves Conjured from rebel slaves Behind split backs and down train chain gang tracks Echoing from old smoke stacks Legendary whispers breathing new life.

#poetsofbluesky
The Bookstore When my slow walk begins, I take it in through my skin in sacred volumes— Sweet vellichor like the stores flowing in ancient gods’ veins alive again carrying pearls of knowledge long forgotten— Sitting upon perfumed shelves unplummed for hourglass turns like the Sahara spreading before travelers set for adventure and much more: Alexandria's legacy at its core.

Existential Matrix Fostered in primal protection first shrouds of life resolved evolving—whole Ideas fold into singular being released in breaths to receive—ponderance Filtering formidable experience through hope, pain, pleasure—deposited Weaving wings to worthy worms while others woefully wallow— worn Unchanged by sovereign cacoons of prismatic turns grown— yet, enlightened.

#porked
(Poem written on white background with a black scythe) Democracy's Death Rattle Conformity porked originality Settling standards for those in lock-step Like masses who follow one order by intercept— One master crushing creativity underfoot; Punishing open kindness In favor of cruel intent— A nation drowned in favored revenge For which all laws are bent... Like a scythe blade damned. By Danielle Grace

#Integrity
Integrity A guardian stands in armor Of promised indestructible ideals, but the being inside eventually decays through bloody grooves infected by injustice and corruption As tempers and tensions rise, the steely figure heats like an oven roasting inner souls with overdone control or squalid abstention for evil's sake; Soon, there is nothing left to keep harm at bay As ashes of original intent become a defense blown away.

Blindspot They always say "Never again," while Blinking in moments Authority goes too far Pulling over cars For driving while different And denying rights For the once marginalized— women, disabled, neurodivergent, racial minorities, LGBTQ, migrants, natives— Again. By: Danielle Grace

Candlelight Rites
By Danielle Grace
Candlelight Rites Fire tongues flicker Lit in solidarity knighted Celebrating tragedy Memoriam sighted Dancing flames contained Seduce by eye dialation Romancing darkness Inviting consummation Tiny torches multiply Yearly widening berths Wicks burning fingers To ashes here on Earth.

Saved from Apollo
Nature's victory halo
Chaste Laurel leaves weaved

#Creative_Flux
Creative Flux by Danielle Grace When last sacred wind extols, dynamic embers of a soul burn down in that final breath, then body's shell is left bereft; Only then will new sparks fly, delivering starlit lullabies while siring sages throughout ages who swell hearts with blessed pages— Shut up tight inside bard bones destined to raise blazing oms.
