To The Class of 2011
We are going our separate ways, but we will not be alone. We will carry a piece of everyone around us, as well as those who are now gone. Memories may fade as we continue through life, but one thing we will all remember is this moment in time....

I feel all pasts, As if they were yesterday, Decades but minutes to my minds and feels. As if I were still two-tens and five, Rather than three-tens and two. Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth. Is today youth? How could it be when youth was then? I still feel me, in your arms, And you in...

Premium Member Because He Loves You
I saw your lips moving ever so infrequently. There was silence; yet I heard you. I also beheld your eyes. They were open wide, wisely listening to every word. I could feel the sponges of your heart absorbing every drop of insightful wisdom that fell from the lips of your elders. You were silent; yet I felt you. Your visit was in no...

Premium Member Cemetery Of My Youth
Wooden crosses weeping their peeling paint broken and fractured by time Stood like remnants of carnage from a civil war signposts of man's ugliness from within Silent in death, guardians of their cause left in the farthest corner of a small cemetery that held no importance even to the church that owned it Who used...

The seed of a flower can be good or bad Don't think too much about life, and be sad Understand that the compound will pressure you a lot Fight through the feeling and land in a perfect spot Gravitate off the ground, rise through the air Make the best out of life with an unbreakable stare Have strength of a lion...

clouds appear as shapes dragons sometimes forks and trees naming the unnamable a search for home (Anthony and Cleopatra) busyness seeming much to do and the rain in opposition (King John) tears and swollen rivers dissolving the boundaries separating home (Richard II) the weather seems to facilitate or oppose bringing to stories uninvited guests (Love's Labor Lost) youth a scattering for experiences away while never departing from home (Taming of the Shrew)...

Dead Kids Tell No Tales
“I want what they have.” and “When is it my turn?” “Waiting on Prince Charming” I’m wondering when they’ll learn You can wait for Fairy Godmother To turn your mice all into men But just remember, tale’s not over When the paper reads “The End.” Cindy-Cindy Relly Did you see what’s on the tele? Broken hearts, and slippers shattered Broken record, same old pattern Boy meets...

REFLECT
Reflection Describes how one is seen Shows your opposite gene, In the light of day, I see the smiles Spreading around, bring it for a while. Ends up, we all fake it, it seems It was a reflection of what the world wanted to be seen Interchangeable we grief Leaving the past a mirror of our relief With every step on...

1999 Intermission of my young days
If, within the silence, you begin the play once more, If, even with a fine performance, you can no longer catch the essential lines, If, driven by life's anxieties, no matter what you do, an unwanted play is staged within your mind, If, to shield yourself from it, you try to guard with noise, increasing your friends as a form of defense, Even if the theater fears the days...
