- Distant shouts
fill every molecule in the air.
Broken hearts left unstable.
Questions circle around my head.
Standing alone.
Who's to blame?
- My sister
looked at me with
evil eyes
as I told her
I will spread my
wings and fly.
Evil eyes said, then I will
clip your wings.
- A clean gutter not
attached to any sewage
glistened reflecting
sun to all corners
of the pool.
- Seeing her
twirl and laugh
in her blue
tutu. Adorning
eyes on her
beauty, Oh
what I would
give to
have my
innocence
back.
- Hearts racing
Embracing
Opportunity is a can't miss
Stolen kiss.
- The dark sky cried
inside, I stared out
thinking of nothing.
Slicing through the sky,
a magnificent luminescence.
- I drive past those
roads once more,
day after day,
I watch the green
grass turning yellow,
the leaves leaving
the trees, the roads
cracking as winter
approaches.
- An autumn aspen leaf.
- Almost paper-like,
has a scent of wildfire
smoke, human like in
the way that it has
nerves/veins.
- Her wood burning
tool was hot. It
steamed as it
touched the wood.
- It was her escape
if only for a small
amount of time.
Only leaving her and
the sizzle of the
wood; and smoke in
her eyes.
- Shiny screen
worn from the time
I have dropped it.
White.
Marked with various
finger prints.
- Something so
small means so
much to me
sitting waiting
wishing for a
buzz.
- This net has lines
and stripes, but is
mostly empty.
It's actually a
division from one
side to the other.
- This object is not
allowed to be touched,
but reminds to be
aggressive, work with
my side, but
against the other.
- The old clock
yellowing with age.
- It holds me as a
hostage in each class
before I am saved by
the bell.
- The roaring engine of
a blood-red lawn mower
cuts the mint green
grass into cheese grater
pieces.
- I dragged my
feet across my
carpet, getting
closer and closer to
my soft freedom.
I leaned forward,
face first into the
refreshing coolness
of the pillow.
- Lights flash
scream and yell
the orange wave roars
in-com-plete!
- Shining lights
hung above us
like a thousand twinkling stars.
While the Earth
crumbled around
us, slowly losing
our grip.
- Whispering kind words
in her ear,
knowing that it is
exactly what she wants
to hear.
She falls for him &
he walks away.
- As the Indian guitar
played, I smiled
at my parents
and ate my
biryani. Out with
my parents on
a Friday night.
- Under the stars' total quiet
staring at the fire while we
make our smores.
Puppy trying to jump
in the fire
to eat all the sticks
that are burning.
- Soft red lips,
and a warm feeling
from an unfamiliar face.
- a cool breeze
danced through my
hair as I sat
and watched the
world pass by.
- On Pearl Street
A sticky, hairy
man walks up
and asks,
"Want to Party?
- Unwanted attention
needy hands
lustful eyes.
I stand as the boys prey.
I am but a fox in
a sea of hunters.
Wishing my shirt
wasn't so low-cut.
