Poetry- The Sun My Soul Craves
You are the book I love the best. Every page of you is a moment of jocund bliss. For your love, I’ve embarked on this quest; And it is my hope that I conquer this race. See, starlight, I crave nothing, But just the affirmation of your heart. For the sake of your enchanting smile,…

Poetry- Stealing Hoody
Windows shatter, dispelling shards of common manners, A tasteless bite of human rights: withhold the batten and water cannon, Dissolve the hint of satisfaction. Burn the cars, grab the goods, Awash with a sea of the infamous hood. Take heed with tools of bristle and wood, Sweeping the street of debris and defeat, An era…

Poetry- Polliwog Paradise
Fierce tigers, we lurked in the long yellow grass like the plastic toys we brought to life. Bullfrogs and crickets sang out in full bloom between bursts of fire and color in the air. Smoke entangled with Summer’s primordial scent. Dust became a friend on the trails to water laughter. Polliwogs danced between our fingers,…

Poetry- The River And The Stone
And the water whispered to the stone,asking it to move.And the stone simply stared frozenand betrayed, and turned its shoulder coldto the rapid’s roar. And on it went for many months, the water babbledlouder.And the stone still refused to speakor leave.And smaller the stone became, belittledby the water. And now a tiny pebble beneaththe water’s…

Poetry- I Think You’re The One
Just when I thought you couldn’t get any better, you took my breath away when I saw you the very first time. You constantly keep me on my toes, guessing your next move. Yeah, I think this might be the one! One day, on a snowy December Night, you will get down on one knee…

Poetry- Lola
The meeting starts, conversation flows When suddenly! I hear a cry Turning my head, I look down Two big black eyes and pinned-back ears Waiting Patiently! With eyes as wide as Puss in Boots She lets out another cry You cannot dispute Pushing back my chair She jumps right up Now she’s a member, too!…

Poetry- Unrequited
I think of you as the wind rattles bare branches And snow crunches under my heels Each of my breaths are little deaths When an animal speaks, it is an owl, hooting Or coyotes howling While I exhale my expectations and joy Thinking of you is like tasting something burnt Or biting a lemon Like…

Poetry- To Her Bold Lover
(Written in response to Andrew Marvell’s poem, To His Coy Mistress.) Though we may be lacking time Oh, bold lover, we’ve not yet reached our prime. If we lay down now in a pleasant embrace, Then you might vanish without a trace; Swept up by a current to find other rubies, Leaving me crying into…

Poetry- When I’m Gone
Who will remember me when I’m gone? Who will tell my mother to be strong? Who will wail for me a funeral dirge, When my life has taken its ultimate stage? Who will it pain most upon the news of my passing? Who will mourn for me like a pharisee fasting? Who will look me…
