Closer: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve said I wish, and I wanted to.Whether, that be to take back my words, when I couldn’t pull a promise through;or, when I think back to the times, I didn’t take to honour you.My heavy heart, is stuck singing the blues;knowing, now, that this world is without … Continue reading Closer: Brittney Fox

Edge of Glory: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

And, so we frolicked through the dying daffodils, in an obscured frenzy to revive our placidity.With what we sought of to be, long lasting love; but, it lingered only long enough, for us to get a tender taste of its tranquility.The snapdragons, could sense the vacancy in our voices, as we spoke above the song … Continue reading Edge of Glory: Brittney Fox

I Am Here: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am traveling the distance, between A and B;as, a microscopic resemblance, of what this world has to offer.Not only, am I, a chamber of remarkable resilience, and exquisite experiences;I am a fortress of man and nature.I am a galactic force, reiterating the source that is in all of us.I am a camera, with ultra-pixelated … Continue reading I Am Here: Brittney Fox

Labyrinth: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The winding tracks, leading towards, Schizophrenia, are rocky, worn, and secluded.You have to avoid, the deep ditches, and steep potholes.Along, the remote road, the abandoned houses, have crooked roofs; and unkempt lawns.There is not one reliable street light.And, there isn’t a place to eat, or gas up, for miles. If you dare to go, too … Continue reading Labyrinth: Brittney Fox

Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Which way’s Heaven?Looks like time is lost.It took so much time, for my heart and soul to defrost.Wait, I’m still in need, for my mind to be flossed.I’ve been burning, every bridge, I’ve ever crossed.Will I be able to seek redemption, before my eyes are glossed?Before, my towel is tossed?Flip my sand dial;I want to … Continue reading Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

Radio Heads: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When we were granted, the gravity, to this Earth;And, the nurturing, of Mother Nature’s expression…We were handed a place, in the grand kaleidoscope.For our chance, at an evolutionary, galactic experience.We were granted, our shot, to stand on this stage, at this time.Where the seasons, come alive for us,And, the city’s saturation changes.We are scattered, like … Continue reading Radio Heads: Brittney Fox

The Blues: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

My heart, has always been in another place.As she spoke, I’d nod with aggression,While starring right through her.I was anything but caught in her aura.Somehow, I failed to be captivated, by my own creation.I barely got over, that we shared the same sky;Never mind, the gravity of the force that was supposed to anchor me … Continue reading The Blues: Brittney Fox

Softly it Rises: Richard Edwards

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Softly it rises into the sky, we wonder why? Gently the words fall from our lips.  To thy ear, it is a yearning of the heart, that the words say.  It calls to thee, it makes thee aware of your care.  Love is what you do, by the way you move. You put us into the groove.  You are true, you love thee, for you … Continue reading Softly it Rises: Richard Edwards

Soul: Cassandra Kulay

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Breaking the surface, a shattered mirror, looking for yourself but the shards are too difficult to match, your soul scattered  over the universe, is this just one fragment of existence, one of many parallel worlds? Silence gives you time to hear the  music of the spheres, harmonizing your point of view with  that continuous tune, building a rapport with insight, … Continue reading Soul: Cassandra Kulay

The Devil’s Horse: Robert St. Germain

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Hop on the Devil’s horse,  and, ride it straight to Hell. Spend time with the demons, as they put you under their spell. Do not feel guilty, for we are all the same down here. Do not worry, and do not fear. Fire will come from the horse’s hooves. Say what you have to say, and prove what you have to prove. The flames will … Continue reading The Devil’s Horse: Robert St. Germain
