reading a book isn't about
reading good words carefully chosen
to create a magic display
of perfect scenes,
it's about feeling every moment and movement
that happens between covers
like that would happen in your present reality
and you're there,
ubiquitous,
deciding whether or not the action should continue.

I

I want
I want
I want
To die

I want
I want
I want
To cry

I want
I want
I want
To lie

I want
I want
I want
To sigh

But still
I want
I want
I want
To live
                Life
I want
I want
I want
To give
                   Happiness

I want
I want
I want
To  forgive
                      Others

So
I would
I would
I would
Thrive

I would
I would
I would
Jive

I would
I would
I would
Survive

Yes,
**I would not give up.

Mirrors Can Lie

Jan 2015 s

Chloe C

Mirrors Can Lie

She holds back her tears
As she stares in the mirror-
Seeing herself as everything she fears;
Fat, ugly, an utter failure.

He holds back his tears
As he stares in the mirror-
Seeing himself as everything he fears;
Scrawny, ugly, an utter failure.

Little do they know that
Mirrors can lie,
They don't show us what's truly inside.
It reflects a human's want to try,

Try be perfect in society's eyes.

come

come

come
join my journey
to nowhere in particular

come
to the depths of my soul
and to the back of my mind

come
dance in the darkest parts of my mind
and sing in the brightest place of my heart

Anonymous

Being anonymous means no one knows you.
No one knows your flaws,
Your secrets,
Your mistakes.
You are basically invisible.
I'd like to be invisible for a day.
So no one can judge me,
Or mock me,
Or even mistreat me.
I'd like to be anonymous for a day.
Would you?

The Seduction of the Deep

Jan 2015 s

Mark Steigerwald

The Seduction of the Deep

Float
into the blue

Skim
the mist

Row
far out

Dive
into the murky
depths

Sink
into an unknown
world

Drown
in the beauty
of your surroundings

Laugh
in the face
of opposition

Dance
in the winds
of time

Kiss
tranquility
on the cheek

Slip
off your shoes

Feel
the sand between
your toes

Walk
among the fish

Stroll
beneath the
surface

Float
softly alone

Sleep
you are
at home

Close
your eyes

Forget
your troubles

Embrace
this world

Slip
further
with me.

String
your bow

Let
loose your heart

Watch
her fly

See
her soar

Come
further with
me

And surrender
to the seduction
of
the deep.

burning
