Poem

Roar like a lion
blaze like the sun
run like a coyote 
flow like the breezy wind
swim like the dolphin
sing like an opera singer
dance like a ballet dancer
sink like a treasure ship
thunder like a storm
flood your banks like the river
pour out like the clouds that opens and rains
lure away the sailors like the sirens
Hear the ocean waves from the sea shells
fly the skies like the birds or like the pilots that drives the planes
ride the rainbow like the leprechauns
taste the sweet honey of the bees
smell the sweet nectar of a flower
like the faeries
howl at the moon like the wolf
play in the ocean currents
like the seal
run through the jungle
take control of your territory
and roar like the lion

Faerie

Faeirie

Chapter One

It was the most atrocious moment in her life; Twinkle was flabbergasted by the turn of events. Her father whom she loved and admired was forcing her into the bondages of marriages with the foul goblin for the survival of the Kingdom.

Her father always said he loved her the most that he would lay his own life down for her. She was only seventeen; she was far too young to be prepared to lift such heavy burdens that accompanied marriage like the ticks to a rabid wolf.

She wished beyond all else to go to the human world and to the mer world. She refused, completely refused to wed the ugly creature. Nor did she wish to marry her other suitor her father had in his fogged up mind, the King of the Rats.

Not only was she rushed to a phase of her life she was utterly unprepared for; her only two options were a foul goblin and a disease-infected rat. No way in hell would she marry any of them, even if it meant the downfall of faerie.

She had trust in her father, he had hurt her with his decision but she thought it was possible to reason with her father, the new Galaxy King of faerie. He was as wise and just a king as he was a father.

But he always placed the Kingdom above all, apparently even above his own daughter. He was willing to give away his daughter to the King of the rats or the goblin commander, what danger could faerie be in to drive her father to such extremes.

Her father sat on his rose petal throne. Busy as usual issuing orders to his many servants, all while keeping a form of calmness and authority. The doors blew wide open with the ferocity of a thousand storms. Not even leaving time for her father to dismiss his servants she yelled angrily at him, " Father! I am not marrying that filth of a Black Rat or the hideous goblin commander!"

Servants in the chamber flinched at her pure anger, emanating from her entire body like lava bursting from a volcano. However her father turned to her with a diplomatic face and responded as calmly as the gentlest wind to the fiery rage of his daughter, "Twinkle darling, be reasonable. It is for the best interest of Faerie, do you truly believe it pleases me to give away my daughter, my beautiful daughter, to marry any of them."

He walked down and put his hand on her shoulder in a manner meant to sooth her and said more sympathetically, "I do not, it is the last thing I want. But the survival of Faerie is on its knees, its head on the execution block. With but a command we can either be spared or be terminated."

Twinkle refused to listen, she retorted selfishly, " I don't give a damn if its for the welfare of Faerie or for a piece of Kaya fruit, I shall not marry anyone by force!"

She turned around, ignoring the protestation of her father and marched thunderously out of the chamber. Her footsteps echoed like boulders rolling down a cliff. As she slammed the doors shut they quavered off its hinges, falling to the ground with a loud clang.

It was decided, she was to run away from her childhood, for she could not for a second imagine herself married to a rodent or that atrocious looking whom she could best describe as ugly.

She definitely did not wish to produce rat children, the mere contemplation of such a freakish act of nature sent shivers down her spine, like cold water splashed over her body.

With each step she became more determined to leave, as though each fall of her footsteps hammered the idea deeper and deeper in her mind until it could no longer be pried easily. She was walking to her bedchambers when she met her younger sister Starlight.

Although starlight was younger than twinkle she was very wise and patient and when her sister told her what her father had done, Starlight being full of wisdom knew that her land was in danger if Twinkle did not chose between the goblin commander or the king of the black rats. These leaders were not to be toyed for. Starlight had to convince her sister to chose for the betterment of Faerie. Twinkle was fuming she could not believe what her father was telling her to do, she would not be told what to do not even by her father, oh wish her mother was here but her mother had disappeared some years ago to go to the Human world, no one knew where Leila was and who or what she was with. Twinkle knew her mother would try to convince her father not to marry her off. Twinkle became sad of the thoughts of her mother and broke down in the corner of the palace where she had met her sister, and sobbed for her mother.

Starlight seeing this realized that as much as she loved her sister, saw her sister was weak and would not do want is best for their land, starlight knew right at this moment that she had to talk some sense into her older sister and went and sat close to the sobbing Twinkle, she gently patted her own the back and said "twinkle you need to do what's best for people and our land , this isn't about us" she told her sister gently.

Twinkle could not believe what she heard her sister say, she got up her face all puffed from crying and glowing red from rage for her younger sister and screamed at her " YOU want me to chose between those filthy things that our father has as suitors for me!" she was really mad. Her rage was boiling.starlight then stood up and calmly said you have to do what's best for the kingdom you are the heir apparent, you have to put the kingdom first and stop for once thinking about yourself"

Twinkle's rage had reach a boiling point and she was furious, twinkle slapped her sister so hard that you could see the hand print and all starlight did was stare at her sister and couldn't believe twinkle did this to her.Twinkle then began to scream again at her " HOW DARE YOU!, you and father are out of your minds if the two of you think I am marrying anyone. I am definetly leaving this place" and twinkle ran out of the palace and starlight began to chase after her screaming her name Twinkle but the older was to fast and twinkle disappeared from the castle went wondering out of Faeire. Starlight decided to get her father to send a rescue team for her sister before her sister disappears into the human world but she was too late Twinkle had entered the realm of humans. Twinkle ran as fast away from her land as she could until she could see the land of her fathers anymore and realized she was in a human garden and she was in a sunflower in which a pretty young girl name Hayely picked up the flower to smell.

Hayely was the sister of the younger of Prince Michael of

Austroceanica, Starlight wanted to get out of the flower before Hayely saw her because knew young children has a special powers to see magical beings and creatures but the pollen was getting to her and she sneeze herself out of her the flower and as she was thinking that maybe Hayely did not see or hear her as she fell to the ground the little human hand picked Twinkle and looked at her in awe.

" you are a fairy! Said the excited Hayley

" yes I am but please don't tell anyone" said twinkle smiling at the excitement in the little girls voice.

" you are a real fairy but you not in fairy land ? I have lost tooth but the tooth fairy already brought some thing. Are you another tooth fairy?"

"no I am not I am the princess of all the fairies" twinkle said proudly

Then a handsome young human man who happened to be Prince Michael called out to Hayely. Hayely come into the palace ! called the prince.

"that's my brother , I'll put into my pocket and twinkle was placed into Hayely's pocket and the little run into her brother's palace.

Meanwhile in the land of the fairies , goblin commander and the rat king were not too please of what twinkle did, they demanded the kingdom to divided between them since the princess had run off but starlight and her father ask them to give them three weeks to find twinkle and surprisely they agreed and King Galaxy sent some fairies to find Twinkle , he sent Starlight with them. Though they had no idea where to start to look for twinkle, this fairy princess had no idea the position to placed her family in. they could lose everything because of her selfishness and lack of consideration and starlight was not going to let that happen , she was going to find her sister , if it meant she search the globe for her, her father had put every creature on alert for her sister, the mer people promised to keep an eye on the oceans and seas, so did the were wolves and vampires also said they would look during the nights, every magical creature were on their toes because if the fairies were in danger that also meant everyone them were in danger of losing their kingdoms.

Danger was on its way for twinkle she was going to marry someone whether it was the rat king or the goblin commander or someone who could stop them both. She was really going to marry someone even though she didn't want to. Her sister and father going get want

one with universe

One with the universe
You are the one with the universe
embrace it
you are one with the ocean
feel the breeze
you are one with nature
take care of it
You are one with the creator
live in his love
and you are peace with the earth
you just passing through

darkness becomes me

Darkness creeps in slowly
like the blooming of summer's roses
Darkness clouds the night skies
this is the sign that
you cannot think clearly
the dark consumes your thoughts
you don't know if you will ever get out of it
winter seems to be there forever
the snow not melting
sleet contuiouns falling
you want to escape the darkness
no matter how hard you try
no matter how hard spring
and even summer
tries to bring sunlight
the darkess remains
you try to follow
the moon,
the stars
the comets
to escape the darkness
thinking they will bring you
to a new place
but they still keep you in the darkness
and then the sun slowly creeps
giving you hope
that one day sunlight will remain
and the summer roses will bloom
and the dark skies will be blue again
and that small piece of light
tells you darkness will be gone
slowly but surely
and the sun's rays will come out
just wait for it to come
day by day

poem

ess O'Nika Auguste

July 31 at 11:43pm · Atlanta, GA · 

the owl is tired
injured
she runs into the trees
hides in the leaves
tastes the fruit
but somehow
this shadow follows her
everywhere
she feels at peace
chasing other owls away from her
she flys into the skies
but she cannot hide
the shadow follows her
at last light comes
the owl turns into a girl
but the hunter still follows her
she runs into the forest
hides under the leaves
runs towards the coast
the hunter follows her
she jumps into the ocean
but she cannot swim
until a fisherwoman/man pulls her out
but then she stills sees the dark shadowy figure
knowing that even though she runs
although she keeps being pulled out
that finlly one day he finally capture
one day when she is too weak to run
the shadow will have her

Not Black enough

Does the way I speak
Really matter to you
If I choose not to always speak ebonics
make me less than a slave than you
You not black enough
so I have been told
because I choose classical and opera
instead of hiphop and rap.
You sold out
because you like white people
so I hear many times
You acting white
people have told me many times
What the hell is acting white?
what is black enough
I am not black enough
I keep hearing every week
because I speak 3 languages
and I can read 3 more a bit
Black people don't know another languages
so I have been told
Black people don't have time to learn languages
while the surviving racism, police brutality
I am not black enough
because they say i never experience the black life
or any hard times.
so they say
so they believe
so they assume
I am not black enough
because I talk white
I write white
I act white
I am into "white people things"
they say
they assume
they believe
I am not black enough
because I am not radical or militant enough
they say
I end looking at the sky
thinking as the birds soar
looking at the sun
and then looking at my skin
and thinking I am darker than you
What is not black enough
but I guess asking what is not black enough
proves to them that I am really not black enough

Where is God

Why  has he not protected me
Where is this heaven?

Where are my guardian angels
I'm broken

Una vez más me ahogo

morir en la noche oscura

¿Dónde está Dios
por qué me has abandonado?
¿Por qué no la mía protegida
¿Dónde está el cielo?

Supongo que el cielo es un mito
¿Dónde están mis ángeles Gurdián?
¿por qué no registran este lago salado

I just write

I just write
I feel that no understands
I just post
because what I want to say doesn't come out
or is it I don't know how to say it.
feeling trapped
like an animal in the zoo
or side freak in a circus
caged like a roaring lion
drowning in darkness
filled with rage
rage that's like the fiery sun
but then i cannot say
because it will come out wrong
so I just write
no i just post.
hoping the feeling of wanting out of a body
that was never yours at all
or was always someone else's to control
since you could remember
but then you just write
because words won't come right
because you feel trapped.
then you realize your voice is stiflen
because what you say is not want you really want say
trying to convey the message that you feel lost
angry and cannot see a future
beneath the firey sun
or the darken clouds
you cannmake any one understand what you say
because words come out wrong so
you just write that
I am tired of fighting
I have no fight left.
All I want is a fresh start
but I have to fight
I am tired, weary of fighting, struggling
maybe drowning in darkness is good

poem

Today is the day
that you
flew into the heavens
like a hummingbird
soaring the skies and
the clouds
decorating them
with your colors
Today is the day
your spirit became one with the wnd
blowing so coolly across my skin
Today is the day
that you become one with the coyote
running wild
across the world
It is this day
you became a mermaid
that swims across the Atlantic
singing sweet melodies
like the doves
of the air
joining in with you
on that rock
This is the day you
join the dolphins that
have the beautiful blue ocean
that is called home
Tonight is the night
that the shining sun
sinks into the abyss
waiting for that freedom to return
It is night now
and you are one with the moon
cold, dark
This is the night you became one with stars
sending light into the darkness
but yet unreachable
and unobtainable
and though i long to reach you
You are millions of miles away
far way within the darkness of the universie
but then you become
a shooting star
falling into earth
so bright, so strong
that i made a wish
that you turned into a wave
and as I lay down on the sandy beach
I feel the ocean's water
across and I know you near
Today is the day
that you turn back into a hummingbird
flying so magificantly
to the south
to flee sweet winter's cold
south a long way
but Today is the day
you glide into pleasant liberty
And as you jet into the clouds
I hear your melody
chanting Adieu! Adieu!
Adieu
Today is the day you sing Adieu
