  • Copper Wires Entwining

    I snip the wire, letting it fall.
    The shard flutters into my hand,
    Willing to lend me a chance.
    I begin to bend, twist,
    And twirl the copper string.
    I manipulate the metal,
    Braiding it, and entwing it
  • Questions, More, Or Less.

    Equations stretch across a gridded page,
    Looking like a jumble of lines and curves,
    But they answer questions,
    That have been wondered for ages, 
    And they solve the riddles of our world,
  • The Flowers Of Your Personality

    The flowers of your personality
    Are always in full bloom.
    The bees buzz around them,
    Inspired by your strength.
    The weeds are not present,
    Repelled by your stance.
    The hummingbirds flutter,
    Admiring your peace.
  • Carefree drops

    The rain pitter-patters against the roof,
    Dripping down the sides.
    The pipes treat the steady streams
    Like a water slide,
    Twisting and turning their way down.
    The constant drops thrum in my ears,
    Echoing like a shout in a cave.
  • Free, As It Should Be

    The wind whips across the waves,
    Howling, and whistling,
    Ringing in my ears.
    It blows closely to the water,
    Not giving it any choice
    But to give in,
    And roll along the surface.
    It washes away the clouds,
  • Respect From The Scenery

    The sand parts beneath my feet,
    making way for my stance,
    knowing that I am stronger.

    The cool waves lap at my feet,
    rushing over the skin,
    knowing I need relief from the sand
    that feels as hot as the sun.

  • there was a girl

    her name began with a d and her hair curled in gold ringlets like coins

    and her laugh was infectious and her smile was too

    and her eyes sparkled when they caught the light. she walked

  • A Girl, 9:43 p.m.

    She has just showered, and her hair hangs limp down her back, washed of the shampoo she waited five minutes, forehead against the cool tile wall, to rinse off. The sky is ink and charcoal, but then, it has been for hours.

  • Life is Hard Sometimes

    This world we carry on our backs gets heavy sometimes 

    our arms ache as we stare at the path ahead, 

    a path we can't see an end to

    pieces fall off and we wonder if they were important

  • cats

    i think cats read poetry. you can tell

    in the way their tails swish and how they fold their legs

    all the time, probably wondering how silvery the pinecones

    will look tomorrow,
