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.

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.

Daphne

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

Painting: Apollo Pursuing Daphne by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (National Gallery Of Art).

#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.

Selene By:Danielle Grace Selenophilic masses gather in the night To gaze at magnificence Shining so bright; Our graceful goddess Who inspires deep love Luminescent mother Delivering new cubs; Kissing the ocean In reflective waves Waxing and waning While hosting wild raves; Dreamweaver rocking Daywalkers to sleep Immutable orb lingering just out of reach.

Anthropomorph Caged

Locked inside beings
Made of skin and bone
Dressed in societal patterns
with parameters sewn...
Anthropomorph Caged By: Danielle Grace Locked inside beings Made of skin and bone Dressed in societal patterns with parameters sewn Decided fates spun before forecasts of birth Chained to an atmosphere fused to unprepared earth Spiritual focus embossed as fostered religion Autonomy lost to time preordained by decision Proper paths certified by pillars of humanity No matter their faults of proven insanity.

#Gifted
Wonderfully Made We stand out as gifted Not based on opinions of man, Inner souls we develop from Become the stuff of “I am.” Traditions kept sacred With new discoveries made, Form a wrapping of self Patterned in sunlight & shade; An originality of being Grows from deed & philosophy Both carefully curated Weaving bows of personality; We stand out as gifted By eschewing all doubt That our intrinsic value Survives in all we give out.

"Lyrical Insight" by Danielle Grace
Lyrical Insight Inner words may be heard laid bare Tumbling from lips of mothers, fathers, children, lovers, and others Echoing tender as admiration and care; Sometimes sung as iambic frisson Carrying waterfalls of despair toward Rivers driven by shriven tongues and Plumbed human conditions; Or sacred alms releasing delights Flowing as melodic verse in phases Stretching from joyous praises Into rhythmically contrite fights Throwing directly reflective gazes.

First breaths serve up worlds Eyes, wings, petals open Leaves and limbs unfurl Marked in seconds of step progressions Fully #blossomed Bold souls pause at prime Gazing sign at perfection sublime Drawing down in hurried spirals Looking back on Time's design. By Danielle Grace

My friends told me not to hide the story in my first self-published book.

Every author has a starting point

This was my debut.
