She just wanted to see the leaves(A version of rapunzel)

She looked out at the world

From her tower

Hidden away from the

Place she was told

Was once her home

Her hair was long

Auburn

Shiny

Out the window she saw

Mountains covered in color

Each leaf unique

So she decided

To leave her tower

She decided on her own will

No prince gave her the idea

She just wanted to see the trees

With their many colors

She climbed down

The hard stone

Scraping her feet

Her hair reaching before

She did

Making its place

Among the leaves

That scattered the ground

She landed in a pile

In awe

With her surroundings

She put her face to the sun

Watching the leaves fall

And then layed back down

Full of happiness

And bliss

    Love is an open door?

    All you need is love?

    Love story?

    I know that feeling

    A bit differently

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
