your vision, your voice
In the bureau in my room
A stack of drawers sit atop one another
Filled Up With
Clothes
Clothes
Clothes
Each drawer is likewise to the first
Except the last
The last drawer on the right is
Lessons
Laughter
Pictures
Memories
Junk
Love
Overflowing with
All the adolescent mess that make me, me
All the funny times
All the lessons learned
All packed into
The last drawer on the right

On a forest path with the rocks sliding off the edge
Green vines tangle with the tree branches
Tiny red petals folding over each other with a yellow stem like a birthday candle
Green leaves shaped like two hearts curling off the stem
A perfume surrounds them
A heavy pink fog
Our twin hearts and ambitions tangle together
Until they are a knot of yarn
That can’t be fixed until someone cuts the thread
My sister plucks a red bud and pops it in her mouth
Dad said it was poison
She said it tasted like watermelon

Oh what we can imagine…
Oh the Deep Blue
Waves,
Tide,
Sand,
Sun,
Water,
SPLASH!
Paradise,
Fish,
Sharks,
“AHHH!”
Shells
“Aaaaouuuu Pretty!!!”
Oh what the Deep Blue contains
What does the Big Ocean Blue really contain?
Monsters?
Dreams?
Fear?
Treasure?
We don’t know,
anything could be hiding and lurking in the water.
We can only know so much,
about the Deep Blue
I believe the Waves, the Ocean, and the Deep Blue,
all withhold…
Secrets!
Imagination!
The ocean can withhold anything you want it to,
Deep Blue

You were there
Holding me,
Feeding me,
Loving me,
Showing me that you cared
I lived trying to find out
How I wasn’t fully developed
I asked questions
But you denyed
I used to live in fear
Trying to figure out the otherside
Why, why
Couldn’t you tell me
It took so long
For you to try and get the courage to tell me
Because you love me
The day I was born
The crash
The hospital
The helicopter
The lungs
There you were
Holding me
Smiling
Cherishing the moment
There you were telling me the story about me

The world is silent
The sky is blue
But the ground is as white
As clouds
Wing appear around you
Beautiful forms fill your vision
You see a light so bright
You look away
What surrounds you
Is softer then clouds
As sold as rock
But as beautiful as…..
Angels
Angels are what surround you
Are what you see
Angels
As beautiful as
Angels

Bear
I push myself
Deeper into the couch,
Not wanting to turn on the TV,
But I do,
Read the news headline,
Over and over again,
Not being able to process the thought,
I turn around ask my mom what it means,
But she says she does not want to talk about it,
But she’s just hiding from reality,
I turn back to the screen,
Try to find the felling,
But it comes to quickly,
Just as the bear’s claw did,
Sunk into my back
The wobbling screams,
The scarlet blood drops on the dirt road.

I walk along a
straight path
I see a Box
But what lies within
Fame?
Fortune?
trash?
I can not be sure
But should i take that chance?
I could lose it all
I could become famous
Or i can live the life i have
Who knows what will happen
I open the Box
I took the chance

A TREE
A tree
Used for many things
Some you do on a sunny day
To display
The mask that you put
To shield
That bits of life
That you want no one to see
So you sit on the dank of the waterway next to the tree.
And wait for the storm to pass
For the rain to dissipate
And the sun
To came
Out and you show yourself
Without no mask.

Dribbling, sprinting down the court as fast as lightning
Looking
Pass to the best player
The best player catches the ball easily
He dribbles around a player and takes a shot
Swish
The crowd goes wild; their team won!
