the sorting hatLike Harry Potter, the sorting hat (my mom)
has placed me in a bloody, crimson colored school.
It’s disorienting, as I go about, the logos are wack.
Poor little rich girl
no beachside lovers
this interminable, scorching summer.
I’m swept up by scholastic spirit.
Can you hear it? Cause it’s deafening me,
on this cool, dry, Boston orientation day.
As we finished our morning...

A MORNING PRAYER
When you head out to worship today…no matter to what God you pray
Pray for whoever else is praying to live the basic teachings of their religion
that some have forgotten or abandoned along the way.
Pray for everyone to love everyone…in this country and every foreign land
Pray that everyone treat everyone with kindness and respect…
Pray when they...

AQUAMARINE
Early morning is the perfect time to walk the beach,
the cool water licks at my feet.
The soft sand is like walking on a pillow,
pretty seashells yell-pick me up.
My day started off with a bit of heaven on earth....

Each Morning's a Bird
Each morning’s a bird
who sings her own song
Wakes before sunrise
serenading the dawn
Hours hopping along
o’er dew-drop-dyed lawns…
'fore nestling into...

Breath
The last whispery remains
of a dream fray into forgetfulness.
I get up and go downstairs
to quietly sit in a chair
beside the window and stare
into the outside dark. A few stars
hang suspended
in the silhouette of a tree.
Six o'clock.
The morning seems
to have been waiting for me
to bring breath to its silence
and movement...

Morning starShe said I can't trust you.
You are to cleaver for me.
so why do I stay?
it sounds foreign
to be close to you my dear.
My morning star right there.
Can you help?
Can you heal?
instead, you are poison for me.
Now you have my soul, but you can't own me.
so please move, step back, don't move.
don't f$%ken touch...

The Silence Fades
(Similar to a quatern, but with 9 syllables)
"The silence fades with a soft embrace"
As the sounds of nature pick up pace
A sparrow tweets its morning greetings
A mynah sings before its meetings
The morning glows with an august grace
"The silence fades with a soft embrace"
The beginning of a new day breaks
And the sun shines as the...

Jealous of a Morning Walkjealous of
a morning walk
pleasantries
underneath
sun- rise and set
jealous of
painlessness
yet muscle
ache
oh i’d take
jealous of
going, going,
gone
out all day
pulling
my weight
jealous of
watching
so effortlessly
the jaunt
of travelers
jealous for
the blessings
given
for all these years
I’ll hope for fix
so others jealously will watch
me effortlessly with my slow gait
i’d settle for mostly pain free
i’d jump for joy but carefully

tuesday morning, pages 78 and 79tuesday morning, pages 78 and 79
pulled back on the book i was reading
as if its yawn was bigger
than the one i had borrowed from you
only an hour earlier
we both laughed
remembering the days when you
touched one elbow
to the other behind your back
and challenged me
knowing it would never happen
it was raining when you left
then looked...

A Season of SunOn this day in May, it was slowly turning into Summer
What a relief after a long, cold winter
My fan had become my best friend
And I loved to wake up and open the shades in my kitchen with the sun coming in
I cried a lot because he wasn't there
Left with only the memories of...

congraduationsOur caps flew like confetti.
Thank god I customized mine.
I'll keep it as a memento of all-nighters,
friendships formed in the academic trenches,
dismissive professors and group-project-tortures.
This isn’t another ‘drunk girl’ holiday, despite obvious similarities.
Our parents, sisters, brothers, and grandmothers are here.
We came in doe-eyed, holding overpriced planners,
and enough provisions for two year Mars missions.
We hoped to discover...
