Hundreds of languages, Millions of words
Split into averages, broken into thirds
And yet not one, or even all
Can describe the meaning, the feeling of love
Knowledge is the fruit of life.
The work used in planting, represents the work used to learn
While the sweet nectar inside is the power to protect against strife.
BOOM!
The moment you've been waiting for, maybe not
but whether you're ready you must show what you got
do what you can while your fingers are hot
truth is, you know a whole lot
The Beauty of White
Sweet, little baby girlFrom white to white to whiteSafely in her mother's wombThe darling sleeps tonight
You've gone away.
Never to return to me.
But why is it that everywhere I go,
Everywhere I look its your face I see?
Grandma, did you really have to leave?
Then I was only a Freshman,
It seems we've come so far with the hands of time
An arm's length from World Wart 2 to civil rights
We are standing taller for equality
But not reaching our potential height
Do you really expect to get the love of your life?
When you don't respect yourself,
You post half nude pics, and say
“I give bomb head,” and yet
You dare to expect respect
My intentions are good
But I stay in the same place
And worry too much for tomorrow
Or what my next meal will contain
Instead of playing it by minute
I'll work on taking chances
Never take a backseat
Because you have a smile
Along with a heartbeat
To me, you're worth it
I could be your muse
Or in the right world
(Something I could use)
You would be mine
There will be spikes, black cats and booby traps
Whispers and secrets and lies
There will be liars, decievers, and non-believers
Who won't look you in the eyes
Just another face in the hall,
another body in the crowd,
another paper to grade,
another desk filled,
another SAT score,
another application to read,
just another person in the world,
So I sat there,
Staring at what looks to be the most blankest page I've ever seen
The awkward moment when you have nothing to write about - know what I mean?
When your mind goes blank and your brain just farted
Windows shatter
glass flies everywhere -
They have arrived.
The zombies climb through the window
glass shards carving bloodless scratches
and I, only too aware of the blood pumping through my veins
When you ask someone how it feels to be in loveHow the idea came to be and gave birth in their mind In the light of their presenceIn front of the person they spent their days with
Monsters
By: Ana Aguilar
My mom tucks me in and gives me a few kisses
“Sweet dreams, Honey,” she wishes
Then she turns out my light
No bugs will bite tonight
Golden amber drips over the supple rising of skin
Made crisp by the summer’s sun, droplets catch in the curves of her lashes
“Never” floats through the breeze
“America”, an unspoken word,
appeared like a shadow,
only existed on the lips of foreigners.
“America” smelled of ashes
as the whisper floated from my parents room,
and the ghostly figure shrouded
my earliest memory of you was back in India, when I visited your house for the first time since we left the country
The sun and the Earthboth complete oppositesyet needing each other.As gravity pulls them aparteveryday, struggling to betogether againAnd everyday, the Sun will come to kiss the Earth
Dear Sons and daughters,
Do you know that I love you?
I know that john 3; 16 says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.
The power laden mind of State is clad in fear.
The people of the State mean not to intimidate,
But to declare the opportune moment to rise
And seize education on the forefront.
Time flies by and it’s still the same,So many victims and everyone’s to blame.
Red, white, blue, yellow, gold, and black;A melting pot of colors and it’s ready to crack.
Common as a cold,It’s careless and bold.
College
What a wonderful place
College
Ain't no easy phase
You have to pay for days on days
There's a problem you see
That's not just for me
How do we pay it?
I'm not the first to say it
What did you do for me?
How dare you suggest, that I be the best, when you never did anything for me
Hug and Kisses, no!
Always touched, but never close
Never agreed with my individuality
Dear Sin,
You beat me down with your temptation
Kill me with my fascination
Tell me I don't need salvation
Your lies have become my fixation
Everything you say is utter fabrication
The planets are elusive
to such things as I.
Magnanimous majesties
Named after deities,
How could they have time for me?
Gliding all over the place, draped within space
You know it's been so long since your depart,It hurts so much to know that you're not here,And I need you here with me to keep me from falling apart,But you're not here and it feels as though I am about to disappear,
I know I said that there is nothing else to know about me,
But there is something you need to know,
Just one little thing,
Let me start by saying:
I know I love you,
And that you love me,
I am finished.
This has gone on for far too long.
Trying to fit into your box of expectations had been my only goal since childhood.
I see now that your expectations are not me.
I won't let you define my life.
Faith... Grace... Mercy... Salvation... Redemption...
I am told that I have these things.
I am told that these things are given.
Free. Free of charge to me.
See you are the type of girl who wants everything handed to you
You want diamond rings, foreign cars and clothes made by designers who's names you can't even pronounce
