When I look at the meadow With chirping birds and bees, I watch the autumn leaves Fall off the branches of the trees. Swaying in the wind From the breath of the clouds, Petals lying under pinecones Never to be found. The sunflowers of yellow The tulips of bright red, And butterflies sleeping On the rest of the flower beds. Reflections in the ponds Ripples across the water, Sunlight gleaming into the puddle Yet it isn't any hotter Than the shade from the trees Or the dandelions in the grass, Who's fluff's been blown away From many wishes past. And when you smile The whole world falls back into place, And I realize this me

              Blinking and rubbing my eyes, I saw her. Eyes glistening, hair flowing around her head, even though there was no breeze pushing it. I had never dreamed about her before, why is it happening now? DId she appear because I fell asleep thinking of her? If only I'd known I was dreaming, I'd never have wakened.                          "Jace…Jace!" Rayne shouted, knocking me out of my trance right as her open palm connected with me shoulder. "You zoned out again. What did you drag me all the way out to the Ice Hut for?"               The Ice Hut is a frozen yogurt shack near the outskirts of town, and also where I first met Rayne

A collection of phrases A plethora of verbs An assortment of adjectives A swarming of words Some are uplifting And some might hurt you And some just are frustrating Like 'Patience is a virtue.' A lot of memories And a ton of close friends Who I thought contact with Would never really end The presents that I once had Sitting under the Christmas tree Have for the most part disappeared Which was unbeknownst to me I used to have a way of looking A peculiar way of seeing Through rose-tinted glasses Because I was such an innocent human being But the world has changed that And because of that fact I cannot keep one aspect of m

When the night draws near At the end of the day There is absolutely nothing Left in the world to say We're all tuckered out We've finished our play From building sand castles To the long relay It was just you and I And under the stars we lay Counting them and always Getting lost at twenty-eight We did this from June Until the next year's May And all that I wanted Was for you to stay But now that you're gone And I'm no longer okay I lay on the shore alone Waiting for it to wash me away.

I'm overcome with the oddest feeling It really is quite grand Something like Alice must've felt When she stepped foot in Wonderland A veritable combination Of awe and shock Where time is irrelevant There is no tick-tock There is no such thing As that foolish, bad fear Because there is nothing to be afraid of For we are all mad here You can't decipher Everything that's going on And if you think that you have You are probably wrong This world can make you happy But at the same time tear you apart It all just depends on What resides in your heart And your hearts residents Are a brand new mystery Because we can't figur

There's a point in our lives where we get to play Not realizing that we would all grow up one day To a point where we'd care about what we'd say And wonder if our life choices are looked at as okay Our childhood friends The ones we played with out in the yard Who, whenever they saw headlights Yelled the familiar "Car!" We invited them to sleep over And tried to stay up all night Refusing to close our eyes Until we saw the sunlight Who came to our birthday parties And gave the very best gifts And when they had a drink They didn't care if we sipped It was absolutely fine To just take a trip to the park "As long as you were bot

It isn't much of a problem There really is no hassle To make your own little world Inside of a big sand castle Nobody but you knows What lies on the inside Just like the unswimmable Depths of your mind With waves washing up on shore Splashing into the moat Of your dreams and other things That keep your soul afloat To run your mighty kingdom And keep all of it stable To be the sort of leader Only seen in fables. But what you didn't realize While you hastily created The palace clouding your mind Gave you the impression that you've sated Your deep need Your unbelievably thirst To pawn off some of your feelings But

As I walk through the forest And the sticks start to crack Under my feet, as I walk Not once looking back The air is quite humid My face is quite damp From the swarms of insects Flying near the shine of my lamp They don't know where they're going As their face hits the glass But more keep on coming Every tree that I pass The soil was dying The plants long forgotten With roots that looked shriveled And far worse than rotten The smell is so pungent The odor filling my nose With every new wave of the stench The insects' swarm grows The light from the lamp Compared to the expanse of the dark Was like going on a journey U

No combination of vocabulary that I could ever weave Nothing I could conjure up, nothing I could conceive Could never honestly make me fully believe That at some point on this journey, you'd stay with me But I'm a hopeless romantic, so I wish either way That maybe, just maybe you'd be with me someday Because when I was in absolute darkness, you were the ray That convinced me that everything would be okay Believe me, sometimes, when things were too rough I began to think maybe even you weren't enough To save me from this disaster, all of this catastrophe From these people and these things that are all so bad for me But you did it

He commands his disciples To control the city "Every last one of those peasants Will bow down to me" He said as he sat In his room drinking tea With no wife and no kids He had no family But it was played off well Nobody could see What was happening to him Behind all the decrees His last name was his lineage A long line of royalty It was known since conception That this was his destiny Having no friends whatsoever But having enemies Who would like nothing more Than to bring him to his knees All of his workers despise him Saying "How dare he" With these laws set in place My family can't eat The bombardment of stress
