There’s a lonely place that many do not visit
Down in the depths where the moon is black
and the stars are unplugged…

Spoken Word Poetry Reading: Time Trip After Midnight

Have you ever felt like an outcast?  There are those of us that feel "different" compared with others- those of us that walk to a different beat of the drum....
"I’d rather not say that I am insane,
My mind will not comprehend such a thing,
Nor would appreciate you to suggest so…
But it is absolute pain that erases the numbness..
Not a smile, laugh, frown, sadness…
Or your hand upon my knee…
It is blunt pain, that paints such a villainous smirk on me."

Spoken Word Poetry Reading: The Outcast (made with Spreaker)

 Tune into some romantic poetry of love, a bond carrying through the stars within such an infinite universe...  Read by poet, Ariana R Cherry. 
To You, Dearest Love
__________________________
My dearest love,
oh thou, my heart
has ached for you
a million years.
Sitting under a bright kindred moonlight,
my thoughts fall back to your tender touch.
I lay here, counting every single twinkling star
up in the clear night sky,
bathing in amorous memories that I wear
upon thy sleeve.

Everyone continues to fight for freedoms, equality and everyone, wants their voice heard... But in the middle of a crowded room, nobody's voice will be heard if everyone is talking at once... There needs to be unity and respect for all.

Spoken Word Poetry: Everyone Has Something to Lose, Something to Gain

"Missing You at Christmas" Spoken Word Poetry is dedicated to anyone who is missing someone at  Christmas this year.  
 "This year, the air is a little different,  
even though the Christmas lights still shine just as bright 
The year has been tough, filled with struggles,  and maybe, not even laughing as much. 
It is true, that this Christmas, may feel a bit strange without you, 
But I’ll do my best and stay strong, and try not to be blue.
  This year, all I can think of are the distant heartfelt memories,
 as they play like an old record on repeat…  "
