SERAPHIM ANGELS


The winged Serafim angels

Are around me today

In a bright auric and colorful display

With light orbs and wings of power

Protecting and healing me

They bring wisdom to the land

Ascending down from gods hands


THE DANCE OF ARTEMIS AND DIONYSUS


Look over there in the soft rain

They take to flight on this sleepless night

Artemis and Dionysus

Dance in the night

Or maybe it’s a fight

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Dionysus pours out his wine

Trying to tempt Artemis

But Artemis takes out his bow

He won’t back down

And he says no

I think everyone has this dance with Artemis and Dionysus

Until you heal

This dance will continue and it is very real


CINNAMON SWIRLS


Cinnamon swirls in the salty air

Desserts and styles

Are the icing on fashion

A cinnamon sky on a lazy day

Cozy by the fire in a Halston dress

Staring out the window

Feeling like a hot mess

Wishing you were somewhere else

Cinnamon swirls and tight laced curls

Adding on a necklace of finely wrapped pearls

Then grabbing more cinnamon and taking a bite out of fashion


ALCHEMICAL MERGE


Earthly bonds not forsaken

When the truth starts to awaken

The energy rises up

Celestial sounds

Imperial voices

Sacred vows illuminate and glow

Past lives intertwine

Merge and rise like Caduceus vines



SERPENTS AND THE TREE OF LIFE


Standing on the serpents tongue of wisdom

The cool air of winter

Warning the depths of our hearts

And cleansing our souls

Face to face with the owls eyes

Showing us the path to follow

Bringing us to the door of the tree of life

Enter in it and it will bring you into another time

Step in and it will heal your mind


MYSTERY SCHOOL


Trying to shake away

All of the decay

From everyone I meet

Sending it back where it came from

Letting it go

On this carnival ride

In this mystery school

With hidden rules

They are tampering with your food

And your mind

It’s like a roulette game

It’s anybody’s move

But why does everyone think they have something to prove?

The way the system is set up

Everyone will lose

Unless you choose

Your own path and set yourself free



ABOUT KELLY

"I was diagnosed with PTSD six years ago by a psychiatrist. He said the major event that caused it was when I was almost killed. I was dating a man briefly, and when I tried to leave him he almost killed me. That was 8 years ago. However the psychiatrist also believes I had PTSD before this event too, because I was physically and mentally abused as a child. And then in my adult years I was physically and mentally abused by toxic partners."
