  • THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT LOVE

    by JAMMONICA

    1. Love is in different shapes of form.
    2. There so many ways of describing love like romantic or puppy love.
    3. There’s so many ways of expressing love like, speaking it or showing it.
    4. Roses or flowers are symbols of love.
    5. Falling for someone is easy.
    6. Staying in love is showing trust.
    7. When you’re in love, it’s like everyone disappears.
    8. But being beat by someone you love is very hard to stay in love.
    9. Love for sister, love for friend.
    10. Being hugged.
    11. Listening to the ones you care about.
    12. Smiling, holding hands.
    13. Peace, love, and happiness.

  • I WISH

    by LEONNA

    Sometimes, I wish life was a fairy tale,
    I wish there was a Hogwarts,
    and I wish my classes required me to acquire
    a wand to pass the class,
    And I wish I owned a broom not for sweeping
    the dust and mud under the rug,
    But for flying above the clouds
    In the early morning sky,
    As the Sun peaks out from
    underneath the moons darkest blanket of
    stars and caresses the fluffy down feathered
    clouds,
    I wish there was a NeverLand,
    Where I could carry on Peter Pan’s legend,
    Where I would forever never grow up and try
    to teach old grumps to stray away from
    young boys and to focus on women or men
    their own age,
    But because I know that grown grumps do
    not listen well,
    And will kiss the un-kissable lips of my
    unwilling and un-twitter-pated pals as a souls
    sucking Dementor would,
    I will carry a sterling silver sword by my side
    to warn off any predators, and slit the throat of
    any deceiver,
    I wish I could stare out my wary window with big blue doe eyes and see a magical
    castle and be for sure that my fairy godmother has my back and, she, is packed (if u
    know what I mean)
    And that Prince Charming will come some day to play the part of my husband to be,
    And I would wake every morning singing to the bright blue jays tunes,
    Hell if I knew that whatever I do I would always get my prince,
    well I would sing every damn day too,
    Sometimes I wish just one simple kiss could solve anything, everything,
    This kiss would be phenomenal, feathery light and leaving my prince panting and
    yearning for more,
    Our lips would lock and acting as a key our happily ever after would be unlocked,
    and then, and only then, we would pocket it in an album for safe keeping,
    But this,
    this life here,
    is not a fairy tale,
    And if it is,
    It is someone else’s,
    But since this is not my fairy tale,
    Instead of riding my broom at the break of dawn for everyone to see,
    I will cast out at midnight,
    When you expect me at my weakest,
    When you expect me to be sleeping in my warm bed,
    Be warned, I will soar under your skin leaving you with blisters and bruises to your ego,
    And I will gain the knowledge to life
    And be the first to touch the burning green and red dancing Alaskan lights,
    And the sky will not lie,
    It will not be my limit,
    It will be my beginning,
    I will push through the dark depths of despair and poke that thick bubble
    YOU are just waiting for me to burst,
    And only then will you understand that I do not sincerely wish life to be a fairy tale,
    But I wish to be happy,
    And I will protect those who I love, including myself,
    And I will get my happy ending with or without my fairy god mother

  • UNCONSCIOUS

    by ZURI

    Am I awake? You stepping through a deep fogged hallway. I could step and step and I wouldn’t wake for an hour or two; the weight of the world will pull me into a needed rest. Am I moving forward? Kinda feel like I’m floating, a weakness for the desk and comfy chairs that are so rare to find. I was hoping a minutes would help me keep my head in this book instead of drooling in it. I don’t really feel; I’m just here; I’m not really awake; don’t ask too many questions, because in this drowsy state I tend to make connections. And in a sleepy stupor I’ll hurt your feelings with blunt confessions. Am I awake? It’s hard to tell. Slow stepping through a deep fogged hallway. I know I could step and drop and have. I would miss you for just a few hours.

  • THE ONE

    by DEMONTE

    The one, you look for all your life
    The one, you care for as if she’s your wife
    The one, that can smile with those big luscious eyes
    The one, that can make you happily cry
    The one, who has my heart
    The one, damn she’s smart
    The one, for me
    The one, she’s pure beauty
    Have I found her?
    Yes
    We’re together like blue stripes
    On a flounder
    She is mine
    She is the one

     

  • SMOTHERED IN PEANUT BUTTER

    by MICHAEL V

    Blue sky and light hands, soft
    Like a blanket from the countryside
    Her dress is sizzling like the desert sun
    Red as roses
    Smells like a meadow of daisies and thunderstorms
    Smiling mysteriously
    Is the cycle of life
    And the city brightens as the sun goes down
    On our night out
    Black sky rises with soft hands
    And stars fall like water from our eyes
    Eyelashes as long as Monday on ISTEP
    Thoughts running through your pulsing
    Mind and feeling free and happy
    As a dog on a field filled
    With a hidden bone
