Zwischen dem Morgen und der Nacht 
fallen die Sterne in den Pazifischen Ozean.

Die ewige Sonne lässt die Wellen erklingen,
mit dem weichen Schaum leichten Schnees.

Die See singt Lieder des Vergessens,
von versunkenen Bäumen,
von leuchtenden Stränden,
von der Liebe.

Sophomore year’s clocked-up my free time. Last summer I made some core promises (to my mom) to go harder on the pre-med track. Perfect grades are ok, I’m told, but they’re underdog, alone. So, this...

My roommates and I
always have something to say.
We talk incessantly, like chirping birds.

We’re bleeding time and there are dreams in...

Been 
lost 
in 
this 
fantasy 
Island 
without 
a 
sleazy 
clue

mesmerized 
by 
your 
svelte 
figure 
and 
intoxicating 
hue

the 
type 
of 
ebony 
that 
would 
make  
the 
illest 
of 
playas  
always 
Stay 
True

the 
first 
blush,I...

CitiBank gitti ghetto said it, not me

Me and...

the floor’s elbow-to-elbow and I guarantee
dance for 40 minutes and the heat can kill

I left the dance floor
fully drenched
we drank at the bar
til...

In the jaundiced light of the pock-marked moon,
Nevada nights many strange visions have seen
But few match spring time rapidly rutting rabbits 

Racing and romping in moonlight madness;
Frolicking free in a sagebrush sea
Amidst white-crested mountain waves;

While...
