Emily
I met her in November.
The icy air seeped into my exposed skin.
While I waited for my emerald-eyed girl.
Footsteps sounded down the stairs-
she stepped outside.
Her smile blinded me.
“Charlie!” her voice rang out.

She wore a yellow sweater, oxford heels, and the ugliest pair of Mom jeans.
She was captivating.
Her eyes reflected the light from the porch-
she took my hand in hers.
The warmth of her skin-
melted the icicles from my fingertips.

She was the sun.
And I miss her warmth.
I am in awe of the limitless nature of the human mind
How it stretches infinitely inwards
Containing a private universe that would be forever in isolation
Unless that individual chooses to launch out shooting stars
Rocket ships from other worlds in the form of music, poetry, art
We are sending satellite signals out from our galaxies
Desperately holding cups to our ears
Tightrope walking on the string theory
Because the world needed yet another teenage poem with space imagery.

Ben
Disassociating from life
A self-assured little leaf,
Adrift upon the dry winds of doubt
Never to land, or to be landed upon in turn

For what view is old,
May yet be born again
Through experience
Through rationál
Through the ever twisting enigma of lifes currents
For what is the finish, without the journey

For life does not have a meaning
Besides the one we give it
Thoughts on our views that we have about life and whatnot, and how they change over our lifetime

— The End —
