and as far as fate goes,
they werent supposed to meet.

they were parallel lines going on forever,
paths never to have crossed.

I speak in rhymes
But my love is divine.
And if you don't mind
Let's go beyond the lines.
Forget about the dimes.
My love will make you shine.

Like people,
         books are waiting
         to be touched
         and loved.

She is the brightest star
        in the night sky.
But in the morning,
        when the sun comes,
            
              *she is nothing.

She has seen me tremble
and has seen me cry
you know you're in love
and yet you don't know
why.

Teenagers are scientists
They experiment often
And stay up half the night
They analyze the theories of the opposite ***
And try to tell what statement would evoke what reaction

Teenagers are the real scientists
Because when they mix too much stuff together
They are constantly blowing things up

The leaves are falling
in love with the ground against
their own dying will.

Crude naked figures
stand against a white backdrop
painted by the snow.

Kaleidoscope rain
drops distort the newborn buds
of flowers to come.

Freckles on a young
child’s sun-kissed skin whisper
of long summer days.
