writing in a pale summer pink
makes memories float
hanging in the air
just above my head
foamy bubble memories
hovering returning
nostalgic waves
the beach that year
the boy i met
the things i saw
from the sunlit shores
ready to start again
this year, maybe 
memories float
flying
drifting
popping
making room for 
more memories

i talked to you
and you said we could never be
and that hurt more than i let on
writing it off as a joke
saving face
but it still matters
writing about it here
where i know u cant get in
makes it feel better
a little
not crying 
not now
maybe im seeing the forest
and you cant see through the trees
dont know how someone so smart
could be so dumb
left out of your ( Read more... )

sal is new
sal is change
sal is obsession
a fever i have never caught
but have gotten the worst of
the side effects
sal is rough, crude
and indecisive
he is the "i have a question"
sal is green
and sal is gossip, whispered everywhere
sal is...
sal is...
sal is blundering
and sometimes i just dont think he gets it 
and sometimes he complains
about the things that ( Read more... )

keira is loose change
and animal erasers
mess on the bottom of the backpack
she is the "how did that get in there?"
and the "who, me?" 
keira likes to go fey-szin
oh. excuse me feisin
she is the triple jump
and the ranch covered chicken nuggets at lunch
the corny limericks
and the persian delhi sultanate of neo-confucianism
she is the "i have a feeling" and

i spent the day
drinking the sun
and smelling the rain
on the flowers

tuning it out
leave it behind
doesnt matter really
moving along
changing the time
and even the place
this place i know so well
dont need you to get by
moving along
leaving it all behind
and maybe ill miss the things
ive come to know so well
maybe ill cry
itll be hard
maybe
who can tell?
spent so long
taking it all for granted
now i guess it matters more
because its ( Read more... )

i never
noticed
before
but now
youre
always
          there.

i guess
you were
before
but now
i know
youre
          there.
i guess
i'm more
aware
because
i guess
that now
i care
more than
before
cuz now
youre
always
          there.

its funny
how when im
not thinking at all
not talking
just breathing
just feeling
my eyes jump to you
studying features
what are you thinking?
adaoring from afar
my eyes adore you
watching
just watching
not talking 
just feeling
and sometimes i
know that 
you're
watching me too
and maybe, just maybe
one day our
eyes will
meet
 not thinking or talking
just feeling
you ( Read more... )

shadows lengthen
darkness spreading
black and empty 
over my head
diamonds nestled
into the velvet
twinkle and glow
filling the night
moonshine sweetness
luminates the 
blackness
pearly light
sparkling 
shimmering
glowing
face to the heavens
brilliant with
starlight
shining
and 
glowing
against velvety
twilight
in the night
sky

 a fork in the road
i guess
time to move on
i know
time to change
time to grow
a bend in the stream
a twist in the tracks
it's all coming back
and now its time to 
leave it at the cross roads
decide
whether its my way 
or the moon
whether its yes 
or the storm
or the waterfall
road signs
caution! men at work
yield
buckle up! it's the law
decisions flow by
time to change ( Read more... )
