Memories

Endless void going on and on Trying to grasp it, but stuck and troubled Never-ending rain, until the light The bright rainbow of colors dancing, lighting up your dark pit of black, It was the lightest dark Your hand stretches that bit farther to grasp everything that’s important to you. You still see some evaporate, flutter into the forever lost. But you don’t care, you have what you need, friends, family, and all else. Don’t remember the rain, be happy when the sun comes up, and makes a rainbow. Continue reading Memories

Fight

I used to be tall Ready to fight at any moment Now I am small Prepared to run away at any second I used to be an upstander, a protector Now I am being crushed against the wall In the hall In the school, I used to love, but, now I hate, because of all the bullies I used to yell “STOP” To protect others Now I do nothing to Protect myself I used to have courage To be a fighter To stand up Now I wait And I wait And I wait For something to happen to Make me ready … Continue reading Fight

The Color Green

The color green splashes on the vines that grow tall and strong, reaching. The color green is the glorious mint chocolate chip on an ice cream that shines that green minty color. Yum. The color green is the tree’s leaves, the green that gets painted on Bob Ross’s paintings. The color green is glorious joy of light green, the dark storms of dark green, the grossness of throw-up green. The color green is the loud noise that plays over and over like a tambourine. The color green is the spiciness and the color of wasabi. It’s the color that gives … Continue reading The Color Green

Midnight

Midnight came And the time for the full moon hunt, had begun the sky, black as the darkest shadows Dotted with tiny pinpricks of light Of the full moon As midnight had come, with the full moon The great clock tower of the city Struck at the stroke of midnight, echoing for miles around As midnight had come, so had the darkness The sun began to close His wide, bright red, orange, and yellow eye Darkness began to spread, as all light, winked out As midnight had come, the city began to fall asleep And when the moon rose high … Continue reading Midnight

Larger Than Life Itself

I was born from the bang that started it all Aphrodite braided my hair Mount Olympus is my dollhouse The gods are just pawns in the deadly game of living The sun’s gaze keeps me warm as I drift through burning splinters that light up the dark I raced against time But it grew old and tired of running a Millenia to the furthest corners Of the universe just to lose I’m not a god I’m better And larger than life itself Continue reading Larger Than Life Itself

Shall I Compare Thee to a Winter’s Night?

(Inspired by William Shakespeare) Thy eyes shimmer as softly as elegant snowflakes dropping from the heavens above. Thy fingers dance merrily among the snowdrops, as thy summer petals wither away. Rough winds do shake the dying buds of December. As the moonlight shines upon thou ow’st aureate skin. Glowing like thy fire ball floating around us. Guiding warmth and comfort to our dwelling. But thy also stank of the wretched egg salad, So then I shall leave you To eat your kale and gluten-free burrito. Continue reading Shall I Compare Thee to a Winter’s Night?
