- Poetry > Free VerseWe are so foreign to each other Brand new, shining eyes. Brilliant blue mixes with green In which pale pink songs of roses can be heard.

Food hot off the grill, splashes that reached the patio from the pool, hot and sticky weather, and strung up lights that lethar...
- Poetry > Free Verse"I'm sorry." The apology, worn, over used tore through her- Damaging the feeling around her soul, cutting the connection. everything inside shut down, shut off. she collapsed against him unaware that the devils smile had slunk across his face, curling his mind into another de...
- Poetry > Free VerseThe bar smelled like Lemon margaritas and vodka Tripped glasses, heavy smoke and beer. The counter was littered with napkins and pixie sticks wrappers The bartender looked at my empty glass and up at my face, silently asking whether or not I thought I could handle a refill. I shook my head no...

- Poetry > Free VerseThey wave at each other from across the street: An ice cream store behind him and a sandwich shop behind her The sun hazing above both of them.
