Strange Images
Lighten Up!
Absolutely not
The earth's crust
Becomes a prison.
Appendages reaching
From the smoldering core
Pierce through the surface
Light begins to pour.
Cracking becomes contagious,
Barriers no more.
Laughter takes over
Sends me to the floor
Clearly what life is for.

Fantasy
Not a moment to waste
To take a glimpse
Of a place of nonexistence
Where fantasies are allowed
Everything else falls away
Passion, love, lust, and peace appears
Creation of what it cannot be
A creation of magic that always continues
A creation of magic that always continues
And never fades
What makes this a fantasy?
Or could this be a vision of what it could be?

Babylon Free for Three
I've learned a lot about me
On these three days where I am babylon free
I'm addicted to more than booze and smoke
I'm also addicted to carbohydrates, no joke
Noodles and breads have been constantly
Dancing around in my head
Don't get me started on cheeses
I'm down here on my knees praying to Jesus
To forgive me for this sin 'cause you know I caved in
Besides that though I stayed true to my soul
Veggies have kept me whole
And I've noticed they helped me grow
Without movies I've had to look inside and learn new things
I've taken the time to dream of the stars
And learn how wondrous they are
Anyone down for an astral travel?
Anyone down for an astral travel?
Go take a spin on your own energies engine
Maybe meet up with the Kin
What fly on a dragon?
It's not that comfortable so I've heard
But none the less it's not absurd
I've reached with my mind and traveled to Renee's house
She was lying in bed reading a book
I just sat there and took a look
She was beautiful and serene
Just like I remember her being
Staying at home has made me realize
That the space of love is right here before our eyes
We've been making it all along
Ha! We are so smart to have a fresh start
Here in this space that we have all helped to create
I've also learned that to be joyful is up to you
There's no one else but yourself
If people hurt you hug them instead
That is what a wise man said
The wise man oh he sleeps next to me every night
He sits right there and he loves me
Even when it's not always his weight to bare
I've learned that I have to deal with my hurts with love
instead of frustration because it's the only thing
That can heal a nation and its starts with me and you
And telling the truth
Now this day is coming to an end
Tomorrow is back to the way it has been
Only this time I'll see you in your dreams
Where unicorns graze and we play in the sun all day

Special thanks to Mahala Slone for submitting a poem. If you are interested in sharing a poem for our blog please just send us a message with your poem to our facebook under lexmais.
Lex did a three day cleanse and called it babylon free for three. The cleanse consisted of no electronics, no using the vehicles, eating mostly raw veggies (and some goat cheese:). The whole family joined in on the cleanse and wrote a poem at the end of it. The definition of babylon is a city or place of great luxury, sensuality and often vice and corruption.
We hope you enjoyed our poems and we hope more of you will share some of your creative writing too!! If you haven't listened to the latest show just scroll down and push play. The new show comes out tonight.
Good Talk!
