Valentine’s Day Poem
Never knew what to do
With the roses he brought me,
After the red had rotted
And soothing scent had slipped.
So I leave them,
Weeping, Wilting,
In a coffin vase
By my window,
As I dream
About dandelion weeds
Swimming in a field of green,
Free.

Nicole Norris Poem
Sitting by railroad tracks
Eye to eye with bare, coiling tree branch,
Sunlight caressing half iced river below,
Glittering rainbow prisms,
And I’ve been here many times before.
When I was seventeen,
On my own,
Playing with freedom for the first time
And I knew everything.
When I was nineteen,
Blue hair, Green shoes,
Red checker pants,
Wide eyed,
Crazed and crying,
Wishing for a train.
When I was twenty-one,
Lying on snow covered tracks,
Looking at moon reflections in his eyes,
Red cheeks, Tender lips,
“Promise me you’ll never forget this moment,”
And now, twenty-seven
Past lives lingering like star dust
Older, wiser, Wondering
Where the next train
Might take me.
