In Love With Spring

Air tinged warm

Evening cool and crisp

Flower wake from a frosty sleep

As the night shines less and less

Anticipation for finals

Cool afternoon rain

New novels with cracked spines

Birds returning with the sun

Laughter of friends making summer plans

Two Sides of a Coin

Superstition: black cats and spilled salt

Walking under ladders and stepping on cracks

The number thirteen and broken mirrors

What dictates your life?

Luck: it comes in many forms

Rabbits feet, four leaf clovers

Horse shoes and shooting stars

But in the end, we decide our fate

Boundaries

Drawn between people

Blending and dividing

A few jump within

without thinking of the rules

lunch tables draw people together

when they stand apart in the evening

we all make bonds

in order to fight for security

some rules are meant to be broken

so that something new can grow

from the ashes of the old

out springs a new

in the world of frenimes

and just-friends-for-now’s  

true friends shine bright

without worrying about appearances

Roller Coaster ( a song)

Verse One :

Like a TV my heart keeps changing

Like wave my heart keeps crashing

As I try to pick up all the pieces

I can’t get you off my mind

One foot in front of the other

A step into our future

Not a road map in sight

Its just you and me

Chorus:

You mess with my heart

No GPS they say love is blind

No light in my path

with  our ups and down

I keep spinning around

Where we’re going now

Its like riding on a roller coaster

Verse Two

You stare across the room

And say you feel it too

But the way you dance with other girls

Make me wonder if I can turn around

Every kiss a new destination

Each day a new way to travel

I don’t know where we’re going

But its just around the corner

Chorus

Verse Three

Put on your favorite color

And throw up my hair

I keep on waiting

To see if you’re their

A new adventure coming

I don’t know where to go

But as long you’re here

Its all I need to know

Chorus

Final Verse

But its time for you to go

I can’t be your girl no more

I need to be free

And like a flat tire you need to change

I’m stuck on this highway for eternity

So you better buckle up if your along for the ride

Because there’s no time to rest

 Chorus

Abby ( a not valentines day poem )

A smile across the room

We met by accident

Through a miss understanding

Fate tossed us together

As teachers mix us up

“Joined at the hip”

you always keep me guessing

but you never play a trick

instead you confide in me

some friendships fade

and come back again

but you’ve been true

as we lose our time together

closer still we grow

two hands intertwined

I’ve known you not six months

Yet you’re an impact in my life

Who stands above the rest.

and maybe we won’t last

but you’re forever in my heart

as the gift of a friend  

A Greek Valintine

O how  the Greeks

Wore their hearts on their sleeves

And fell into love at first sight

With gods and mortals alike

Love has many sides

Dotted with drops of blood

They cannot live without the other

Not parting in death

Sometimes love is unrequited

Loves being chased

Changing shapes to get away

Or disappearing into the water

Birds soaring across the skies

And flowers blooming in the spring

Those favored by the gods

Never turn out in the end

Silly girls in love with heroes

And the two can never be together

Many things keep them apart

The god’s meddling in our fate

Love has a brother in emotion

Jealousy raging green

Passion in the palest pink

And joy dancing with the rising sun

Changing seasons mimic cupid

Selene and Apollo chase across the sky

People sit among the stars

Living on forever

Gods have many lovers

Mortals whom will die

Or gain immortally

Tasting sweet ambrosia

In myth children never love

And laws are never just

Love has not owner

So to whom does it belong?

Bridget ( A Valentines day Poem)

One stem with many colors

Yellow joy

Blue sorrow

Purple passion

Wild green

Cozy orange

Romantic red

Soft pink

To capture life in its petals

A bloom that never fades

Dew hanging on the leaves

After a summer shower

A tree to lean upon

A hug to keep me warm

My sister

And a firey rose

Words cannot describe

The bond that lasts forever
