Blood Dazzler Inspired Poetry

Weightless Wealth

If someone rips off your wing
Spiral down
But don't fall too fast.
Just rest on a ledge
Inhale the scenery-
grow some feathers I suppose.

Look at what you have
Realize there's only a
Few plumes missing
And they're not gone forever.

Catch your breath
feel your footing
S M I L E
and leap from the ledge
Trusting the Wind to
lift outside and within.

The currents carry
far away from where
you once dreamed...
but it was not for
failure.
It was to bring you
Into the sunrise
Sweet embrace
a taste of
liquid gold nectar.

We call it hope.

Student Body

A storm of stilletoed heels tap
a cacophony on
submissive cement a
cloud of black tights
Sequined shirts
Straightened hair
A mist of
romance, intrigue
Alcohol flowing
Like water pulsing
a heartbeat masking
the electric energy painted
faces eyelined stares
Crisp bills flying like
twilight birds away
from enchanted French-tipped fingers
Like wishes they are offerings to
The night
Devotees of some classic rite where bass
Demands the ebb and flow the letting go as senses blur and hips confer and sweetened lips meet and
clothing uncurls-
We are the crashing waves.
