Favorite Quote:
When your in love, don't go to your love. Let your love come to you.
-Me-


Smooth feet
slipping on the drenched rope.
Sun shining
like a fluorescent light.
One foot gone.
Then the other.

Help, I shout.
then
A splash roared in my ears.
One hazel eye,
next to me.

Cold arms
swooping under my back.
Scaly like snake skin.

I am a soaring eagle,
risen back to the rope

No fuzzy towel.
Just a rope.

I thought about my brother and how if this were EVER to happen that I know he would save me. He is the kind of person who would risk his life to save another's. I dedicate this poem to him.
