Writing

Clouds fill cities

The evil has spread

Like a virus 

Infiltrating your soul

Corrupting your poor mind

Don’t let them fool you

If I rubbed a magic lamp, if I gained a genie...

What would I wish for?

I would wish for this to stop.

All this violence that never ever ends.

But...

Every wish has consequences.

All I see, her blue eyes.

Why do such bright eyes

Send such a girl into dark?

Why does such a smile

Cause such a girl to spiral?

I love the smile on people's faces when I hand them a poem with their name on it & yes of course you get to keep it.

Do you remember those September evenings we spent together in the playground?  
The shiny rock we put in our pockets and the ugly little rocks that got lodged in our heels. 

I saw the waves 
crash over the sand 
where you once sat. 

Your ashes sink 
into the waters 
you once sailed. 

Others desecrate 
the land 
you once found holy.
