Arrogance
Actualizing annoyance
Admiration
Absent and abandoned
Adolescence: adhered
Apathetic assimilation
Authorizes an appearance
And an abolished affair.

One mistake that could have been prevented
But not easily fixed.
Stir until the bumps begin to smooth out.
Add a dash or glimmer of hope to taste;
Enough that it can still be crushed
But not enough to overpower.
Let sit until it ferments
And spreads
Sinking into the crevices in your brain
Leaving you with nothing
But an aftertaste
Of what could have been.
The morning was met with cold
And darkness, not rays of gold
For the sun disappeared for lack of being bold
And left the sky empty because of the cold.
The sky has begun to turn a deep gray
Waiting for the blessing of the day
And for all the people to say “Dear Rain, go away.”
And fill the town with color instead of just gray.
Rain is harshly falling down
Every where you may look, the ground
Is wet through and through and all around
And will leave the wilderness fruitful from the rain that’s falling down.
A family so complete
Every member an active participant
Of holding love in their arms
And virus-like happiness in their eyes
Contagious… spreading
To your own heart within minutes
And turns your recently icy demeanor
From the frost burns
Of your former father
To an overwhelming boil
As passion flares
And warms you throughout.
A cherub sent from up above
Told he was the God of Love
Was given arrows used like darts
And aimed for the most innocent hearts
Creating romance here on Earth
Ever since the day of his birth.
A woman
Left with no more hope
Said goodbye to the life she’s always known
Watching her memories burn
Creating her own path
With a blazing trail behind her
She set fire to her past
And told herself
To never look back.
An injury
Leading to a downward spiral
Of emotional and physical debt
A black hole
One struggles to crawl out of
Muscles straining
Aches blossoming
But be careful not to misstep,
Lest you slip
And fall back in.
She approaches the vacant bed
With caution
And reflects
On all of the late nights
The requests
For him to crawl in next to her
And wrap his arms around her
A warmth that only he could provide
He did this to himself
She thinks
As she climbs inside
Pulls the freshly laundered sheets up to her neck
Where they lie
With a cold but comforting touch
I’m here for you
As she creates her linen cocoon
And drifts to sleep
Without him.
A girl
That dreamed of men
Strong enough to support her
Fell in love with a boy
That needed to be uplifted
To feel loved.
A boy
Who never wanted to grow up
Or stop having fun
Fell in love with a girl
Who grew up much too fast
And never looked back at her youth.
A girl and a boy
Met and fell in love
And, together,
They were everything
They ever needed.
