*LETTERS TO ENIGMA* by Taylor RandomGeek Pearce

Turn the sun to nothingness,
We’ll learn to love the moon,
Burn a rainbow’s promises,
And floods won’t seem so gloom,

Shatter of the sands of time,
And forever can be now,

Put your frozen hands in mine,
Forget the why’s and How’s,

Hate me when you think you should,
I’ll get to know your rage,

Fire and blood are scarce good,
But so is oblivious age,

Show me all your pitch black paintings,

I’ll drown out all my fears,

Cleanse me when our love is raining,
Even thunder has its tears,

Let me feel that death is lurking,
I promise not to peek,

I’ll know it has come when life stops hurting,

And faith becomes relief,

Take a moment’s time to read this,
Its time this moment shows,

That loneliness is worth its reasons,
So Every crowd should know…

MR SPACE MAN YOU’RE FUNNY by Lee Stewart

Dream beings,
Entering our deepest feelings,
Hold that thought,
Sightings of space ships,
Shaped to fit untrained eyes,
As we take to being digitalized,
Colorful dreams distracting the child at play,
Yes I hear you join us you say,
But I am you can’t you see?
This world for now is home,
I’m waiting cause I was told to wait,
I’ll be picked up soon you should come,
It will be great don’t be afraid,
What is done is done it’s how we are made,
The journey we will take won’t be too long you see,
Light talk to me I follow them too,
You don’t have to believe me I knew,
Magic doors and sounds of talking,
Knocking louder when I forget,
Other beings met me hoping I would remember,
I said no they outside did not speak,
It is they wish to enter when not asked,
Come back Mr. Space Man why has the music stopped,
I was listening do not be sad,
They forgot their hearts in too many questions,
Suggestions fall like leaves from the tree,
Some tasty fruits presents for me,
I love the moon it goes to sleep and lands in my hand,
I place it on top of sand castles in the sand,
The sea, the sea, let us go now let us go there,
I get to fly the space ship everywhere,
Silly humans they look so 3D,
Exactly how Mr. Space Man said they would be,
They never know who they are,
Not even around the corner of the closest star,
Some are funny but they change too much,
Hurry now,
Before what they call time shuts.

WORDS by Michael Mutale

Words can bring to light,
things once hidden out of sight.
The revealing of a secret or enlightenment
Words can be the seeds of our dreams or the fruits of our nightmares.
The manifestation of our deepest fears,
or the expression of our greatest desires.

But words are more powerful,
they can also bring to life.
Angels and Demons they can summon,
so be careful what you call on.
The power of life and death lies in the tongue.
This is the truth, it’s not a con.

Words can be chants or prayers, all constructed with the same alphabetical letters.

We are not to be mediums, or diviners.
Words connect us to each other and to God.
But be careful they can also bind us to the dark side.
