Flo-etry by Luna Moonwordz featuring Chase Rhyme.
We were gathering
We were getting stronger
When 2 lights come together
they burn brighter
Our hearts were shining bright
Our intellect was growing
Our visions became clear
We saw a bright future
Where the air and waters are clean
Animals roam healthy and free
Food and medicine are chemical free
And we shared this vision
But those with power
don't want a healthy population
Too many people
equals too many mouths to feed
People dependent on the government
People blinded like the herd
People in the machine
People accepting the school, work,
pay bills, take medicine
until we die paradigm
We the people were getting tired
We the people starting voicing our concerns
We the people became louder
So they separated us
They made us sick
They made us hate each other
They made us self isolate
And now we are alone
And now we are confused anxious & scared
They will use this fear
They will convince you to do things
you would never agree to do
They will fear monger you
But we can rise
We can overcome
We can stay calm
We can use our own
critical thinking skills
My people I implore you
Do the research
It's not what you think
We are in a time
of the Great Awakening
The World will never be the same
Open your eyes
Wake up
It is time
Save the children!!!

Dick pics
Ass and Tittie shots
Late night texts
What are youuu doing?
Booty calls
Snapchats
Ig stories
Waves in the dm
This is what dating has become
In a time of social media
We need instant gratification
And lost human connection
Conversations replaced with emojis
Gone are the days of talking
Now I should feel special
if I get a good morning text
What happened to conversation?
Now you can't even look in their eyes
because they're glued to the phone
Like this ass pic 👍
Double tap this cleavage shot
Oooo look at those muscles ❤
In a time when people
share nudes like gum
Loyalty is hard to find
Insecurity at an all time high
No wonder relationships aren't lasting
People have become disposable
No one is connecting anymore
Why do I have to say I'm in a relationship
just to avoid getting hit on
What happened to social skills
I crave human connection
Just talk to me
No pick up lines needed
Don't be scared I won't bite
Unless you ask me too
If I don't want you I must be gay
I'm considered a slut if I enjoy sex
But a tease if I don't give it up to you
We are in a hook up culture
Where no strings attached
emotionless sex is normalized
The divorce rate is so high
it's a billion dollar industry
Commitment issues are a dime a dozen
People are so concerned with likes and follows
They forgot to follow their heart
This queen refuses to be in competition
So I stopped playing
I stopped waiting
I will always be ok alone
I will be my own savior
I found me
Just me
Just being
No apologies
No excuses
No justifications
Raw honest open and transparent
Just me
And if your brave too?
It can be
Just me and you

Death
We can't escape it.
It is the only thing guaranteed to happen to each of us.
Death does not discriminate.
Death is the absolute outcome of the human condition
We spend every moment of our lives in fear of it.
Why is it so hard to accept?
We don't know exactly when its coming.
But sometimes we know when it's close.
Some people have visions of it.
Some are tormented by it.
When a person is only used to the darkness they must gradually become accustomed to the light.
Without darkness there can be no light.
In the absence of breath we appreciate air.
The grief, the aching hole in your heart, the knot in your stomach
It doesn't fade, we adapt
We learn to move forward because life doesn't pause
What if it's not goodbye forever, just see ya later for now.
If you know where you are going does it make the trip less daunting?
Robin Williams said “Good people end up in Hell because they can't forgive themselves.”
It's about the journey, not the destination.
If we live everyday like its the first
Will the days seem longer?
Are you on your best path?
If the Dark angel came to you tonight would you embrace the kiss of death?
Knowing you lived your best life, you accomplished your dreams, you loved everyone,
No regrets, no takebacks,
Sliding into heaven with a smile and a sparkle in your eye
Hand in hand with Deaths Angel
Ready to do it all over again!
"We live in fear that the limited self structure that we are identified with will die.
The key is to learn to die before you die.
Life and death are like yin and yang.
Endlessly unfolding with no beginning and no end.
When we push away death we also push away life.
When you experience the truth of who you are, there is no more fear of life or death." Samadhi
In the play of life Shakespeare said
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players".
The stage is set
Waiting on us.
I have wasted enough time
I have hit the reset button.
I am ready to level up
Ready Player 1
For my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and all the friends I've lost along the way.
Fly high!

"Pain" Spoken word performance at Poetz Realm Open Mic Night.
Pain is a sensation in the body that is always unpleasant.
In the medical field we use a pain scale 0 to 10
If 10 is the absolute worst pain you can feel
I've been at a 20 for decades.
Pain is subjective.
Pain is whatever you say it is, wherever you say it does.
Pain can be a weapon
Pain can be motivation
Some people use pain as medicine
I've used pain to cope
It can come into your life as fast as a tornado
Destroying everything in its path
Or it can creep in quietly slowly taking it over
I've felt all kinds of pain
Aching, throbbing, stabbing, burning
Sorrow, despair, grief, hopelessness
Over 20 years I've been married to pain, the longest relationship I've ever had.
I have felt the sting of barbed wire wrapped around my legs
I have walked barefoot on nails
My back has ached like it carried the weight of the world
My insides burned like the fires of hell
My knees have creaked like an old attic door
An axe has been buried in my shoulder since I can remember.
Migraines put my head in a vise grip
My neck is so tight if you twist it just right my head would pop off like a dandelion
My body has been dragged through the mud at a spartan race
But there's too much to do.
A mom, a wife, a boss, a friend.
No time to lay in bed.
So I'll take a few pills.
Family and friends don't understand.
Canceling plans, missing important events
So I take a few more pills,
drink a little
and I'll be able to get through it.
Doctors can't find anything wrong.
Test results all healthy and clear.
My husband thinks I'm making it up.
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
I'm so tired, my body exhausted running on fumes
Every ounce of energy I have used to block out the pain
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
I'm calling out of work, the kids are always late to school
Too tired to cook dinner and help with homework
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
Another emergency surgery leads to another long road to recovery
It means more pain
Pain so bad some days I begged God to take my life.
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
My home is in my bed
I'm a slave to it
Every time I leave it
My bed calls my name.
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
Pain makes you question your reality
Why God why are you doing this to me?
What did I do?
I must deserve this pain.
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
Life piles on heavy
Divorce, death, laid off
Depression
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
I'm ridden with guilt.
Missing time with my children
I'm too tired to play
Too angry to talk
A failure as a mom.
So I take a few more pills, drink a little and I'll be able to get through it.
Pain changes people
Pain makes you isolate yourself because no one understands
Pain can slowly drive you crazy
little-by-little inch-by-inch day-by-day until one day you don't recognize yourself in the mirror
My life has been a long journey full of trauma and hurt.
But I've also experienced great Joys.
Without pain we cannot understand pleasure.
Pain is an emotional experience.
Somewhere through the fog of anxiety, depression and pain.
I saw a glimmer of light.
I clutched onto that spark
like my life depended on it.
Because it did.
I swallowed my pride
I asked for help.
I found a natural doctor
I started using plant medicine
So I take a few Less pills, drink a little Less,
smoke a little
Because I think I can get through it.
You are what you eat
I completely changed my diet
I meditate morning and night
Yoga every day
For the first time in my life I went to the gym
I'm getting stronger
So I take a few Less pills, drink a little Less, smoke a little because I BELIEVE I can get through it.
I am finally able to bellydance again.
So I take a few Less pills, drink a little Less, smoke a little, because I CAN get through it.
At a time when I had lost everything
My health, my mom, my dad, my husband, my daughter, my dog, my house, and my career.
I found myself.
My identity is not tied with these labels
Daughter, wife, mom, homeowner, boss
I am much more than that.
I am stronger than a superhero
I am braver than the greatest of warriors
Because I choose to live, every day.
I am a soul on a mission
The darkest hour will always be a part of the light.
I will use my darkness to lead others out of their pain towards the light.
So I take a few less pills, drink a little Less, smoke little more,
cause I WILL get through it.
Without the darkness we can never truly appreciate the light.
Our souls chose the path we are on.
We create our experiences
All of this,
The pleasure, the happiness, the sadness, and even the pain
We came to Earth to experience the full spectrum of emotions
I'm grateful for the journey
I'm grateful for the spiral that is life
I'm grateful for the opportunity to keep learning lessons
We aren't meant to do it alone
We're here to do it together
Love is the most powerful form of energy
When we share love with one another we transmute pain
In this way love heals
If you are barely holding on
If some days the pain is too much to bear
When the journey looks soooo long
It can be overwhelming
Just take the first step.
We have the power to change our situation.
All it takes is a change in perspective.
So just take the first step.
Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment.
Drug overdose deaths have more than tripled since 1990.
From 1999 to 2017, more than 700,000 Americans died from overdosing on a drug.
Alcohol and drug addiction cost the U.S. economy over $600 billion every year.
In 2017, 34.2 million Americans committed DUI, 21.4 million under the influence of alcohol and 12.8 million under the influence of drugs.
About 20% of Americans who have depression or an anxiety disorder also have a substance use disorder.
More than 90% of people who have an addiction started to drink alcohol or use drugs before they were 18 years old. I was 12.
Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 are most likely to use addictive drugs.
We have the answer. Plant medicine is the key. Cannabis can treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, cancer, pain, inflammation, ADHD, epilepsy and soooo much more.
The government has been hiding the benefits of plant medicine from us since 1937. Cannabis Prohibition
It began to protect the paper, lumber, fuel, and pharmaceutical industries.
Hemp is a sustainable regenerative environmentally safe replacement for paper, lumber, fuel, and pharmaceuticals.
By 1971 Nixon started the war on minorities
oops excuse me I mean the war on drugs.
Times are changing. People are educating themselves and demanding change. We as a people deserve clean chemical-free food, water, and medicine.
Join the movement.
Push the culture.
Let's get lifted.

Boy
Vs
Girl
Switch the pronouns
The characters change
But the story is the same
Maturity turns boys into men
Independence turns girls into women
Men and women understand that life isn't perfect
It's far from an easy ride
Men and women want someone to lean on when that ride gets rough
Men and women allow for each others waves to disturb the seas
Men and women don't tell the sea not to be the sea
They understand the rise and fall of the tide
With understanding comes compassion
Which opens the gate to love
When we allow love to flow in through our hearts
We are able to forgive
Forgiveness...
That is the key to a relationship

I have been called all these names
And many more.
By people I would call family and loved ones and strangers alike.
At some point in my life I have been these names.
I called myself these names.
Screamed these names so loud I began to identify as these names.
I started to believe them.
They haunted me.
Until one day I realized I AM ALL of these names.
All the complex layers of darkness
Which appear like a thread throughout my life
Woven in the most intricate tapestry
Amongst other names like
Assertive
Strong
Courageous
Brave
Determined
Persistent
Adaptable
Unpredictable
Earthy
Edgy
Nature lover
Shapeshifter
Plant enthusiast
Energy worker
Goddess

See the letters strategically placed together hold no meaning.
It is the energy behind the word that holds meaning.
When you change your words
You change your life.
It's called spelling because you are casting a spell.
You are creating your reality.
What story do you tell yourself?
What do you tell people you just met?
Are you a victim of circumstance?
Or are you a powerful creative divine being with infinite power at your fingertips?
Speak with intention.
Speak with positivity.
Speak with power.
Speak with love.
One day you'll sit back and notice that you've changed.
You will sit in your power.
You will look around at all the manifestations you created.
You will be at a place where others words have no power over you.
Because after all words are just a bunch of strategically placed letters.
There are approximately 6,500 languages in the world.
I don't need to speak your language to communicate with you.
Energy never lies.

I fell in love with your potential
Seeing the best of you
Drained the light from me
Cause baby I'm a star
And you fell in love with my shine
But you weren't ready for this gleam
You're blinded by your masculinity
I blurred the lines of your conditioning
And when you tell her about energy
I hope she knows that wisdom came from me
My sacred portal had you craving me
Grasping your manlihood until you scream for me
Baby take me off that pedestal
We're just two balls of energy
Its not give and take
When two givers meet
its alchemy
Meet people where they're at
Take the lessons and be free
Allow people to come to you
And gracefully bow as they leave

Watch out for well placed
good intentions
Have you thinking
They're a good person
Hooks in you
Succubus
Draining light outta you
Dropping that love bomb
Showing that fake love
Sprinkle your heart around
like bread crumbs
Make you wanting more
Entangled
No escape
No where to go
Cords wrapped around
Cut that attachment
Burn the flame
Release the hook
Embrace the pain
See your demons
Slay the dragon
The darkness
Is inside you
always a part of you
Kiss the dark side
Hug the shadow
Love the bad you
Face the evil you
Go through the shadow
You'll find your light
You'll be relit
No more succubus in sight
~ "Succubus" © Luna Moonwordz
I just wanted to love you
I wanted to kiss your scars
And hug away the pain deep in your eyes
You were so closed off
And me with my saving complex
I wanted to fix your pain with my love
I wanted to cuddle with you until the memories fade
And all thats left is the warm fuzzy feeling of our hearts colliding
I wanted intimacy
I wanted connection
I wanted love
You weren't open to my love
You were cold and distant
I can no longer sacrifice myself to save others
Because I realized while I wanted to love your pieces back together again
I was tearing myself apart
I am no longer giving more than I receive.
I will continue to open my heart.
And one day
Someone will give back to me
All the ways I've given love away
~ "Love You To Pieces" © Luna Moonwordz
"Love You to Pieces" by Luna Moonwordz
My heart is broken
I feel so bare
I'm drowning quickly
In my despair
Forsaken feelings
Deserted days
Secluded soul
Weary ways
Solitude cuts me
Like a knife
I feel so lost
Living this reclusive life
Locked away in my
Isolated atmosphere
Crying a single
Neglected tear

"Neglected Tear" by Luna Moonwordz
The first time I heard your heartbeat I fell in love.
The first flutter in my belly made my heart skip a beat.
That first kick was when I realized sometimes love hurts, but it's so worth it.
Childbirth made me believe I was a warrior for love.
The first sleepless night I watched you breathe.
As a new mother I was full of worry and fear.
As an experienced mother I understand unconditional love
will keep my children safe.
I have never claimed to be a perfect mom.
I have made my fair share of mistakes.
I apologized to my children and promised to do better.
And we continue to grow together.
We allow eachother the space to have bad days.
We also love eachother a little harder on those days.
True love is when your son tells you that you look beautiful when you first wake up, bare faced and messy.
True love is when your daughter thanks you for always being supportive.
Motherhood is not being Super mom.
It's being real and showing our children moms aren't perfect.
When we allow our children to see our struggle they will learn strength.
When we allow our children to see us cry they will learn empathy.
When we allow our children to see our anger they will learn
it is ok to express our emotions.
When we allow our children to see our mistakes, they will learn that no one is perfect.
When we allow ourselves to be real, we raise independent well adjusted children.
So here's a reminder to all the moms out there.
We don't have to be perfect!
