Burning blue,
violet fire electrifies
my veins
and my brain.
When the sky flakes and the clouds fall,

White fluffy clouds in the sky blow with ease.
With moisture suffocating the...

Joyce, you speak?
Shelley is infinitesimal
Blake, In Rockland
And Milton too, to the grave

Fly from one end of the globe to the other,
Arms spread wide open,
Welcoming in the adventure, the lessons, the beauty that this planet has to offer.

Bright night
Dark light
We see with no sight
But it’s in black and white
Cold
Snow we hold
It’s winter, we are told

I quit everything I try
I wasn’t good, I won’t lie
In lacrosse I was always benched
I never sweat while other kids were drenched
I played soccer for four years
Never did I touch the ball because of my fears
