"Guess what!"
You shouted
As soon as I picked up on Skype.

"What?"
I asked,
Smiling at your enthusiasm.

"Well,
In my chem class,
The girl I sit next to -
You remember her, right?
Well,
She invited me to her church,
So I'm gonna try it out today!"
You smiled with your eyes,
But they fell almost immediately.
"But I'm nervous."

"I understand,"
I said softly.
"But you'll be great.
After all,
You already know one person.
Now all that's left
Is to meet everyone else."
You smiled a little again.
"But you're not allowed to smile
At anyone else
Ever.
Understood?"

I got you to laugh,
Especially when your aunt
Entered the room
To ask you something,
And you smiled at her.

Science and Fiction - 1000/1000

Saturday, December 9, 2028 I’ve spent too many hours Putting off this final poem. Even writing these words Today feels wrong, like I’m doing it too early, But if I keep putting It off, I’ll never write it, And if I never finish, You’ll never get to Hold the book in Your hands. Maybe endings Aren’t so bad after all. But if I only have One more chance to Say anything I want In these poems, I want to say something To someone other than You, my wife. I want the chance to Write at least one poem To you, my child. Maybe you’ll never Grow up to read these, But I want it written On published paper That I love yo

First Flight

How frightening that first flight must have been, hearts racing into the unknown, and I should wonder how those men felt at the first takeoff into the air, gusts of wind beneath fragile wings, if not for loving you.

Untold Stories- The Unsinkable Ship: Prologue

-6:43 AM, April 10th, 1912- Southampton, England Nicholas Thatcher woke up extra early today. He gasped, waking up immediately. He sat up in his hotel bed, looking at the clock. Smiling, he got out of bed, careful not to wake Sofia (his sister) who was sleeping next to him. He went bare foot on the wooden floor, past the bed his mom and Amber (his other sister, twin of Sofia) were sleeping in. The 11 year old kneeled in the wooden chair that was pushed up to the high window so he could look out. Their hotel in Southampton overlooked the White Star Line's Pier. Nick could see it from their floor of the hotel, just barely. In that ocean dock

this afternoon unresponsive to the sunlight lying in bed like summer afternoons and white sheets still moments in our room so quiet i can hear your ribcage shifting with each breath but winter - winter is coming, the air is so cold, my bones break inside. your remove yourself from me, turn your head away, hand slipping out of mine, curling into yourself. this morning waking up to brightness outside the crisp air is singing with potential but i am quiet i am inside i am by myself on this big bed.

You make me ill to my core. It's the way you curl yourself beneith my skin and suck the love and passion from my bloodstream like a sun starved flower. You sit benith the open sky in your flowerpot, adorned with my words. I bathe you in the things you need, but yet you still rob my bones. You betray my trust when I need you most. Then you dissapear, like some godforsaken ghost into an early morning fog and all you leave behind is dew-drops on the lashes that protect my eyes. When you kiss, you consume. You burn like a forest fire, searing and violent, across the tips of

"You left your watch here" This place has become a store house for bad memories Except when it comes to you because the only thing you've ever left here was me and now I'm stuck here waiting for you to take me home But you cant There's a whole lot of distance between us, gaps that not even the sun knows how to swallow up We are mismatched cookie cutter pieces stripped and sewn to the same heart Your patterned like A Clockwork Orange- all violence and vulgar slurs while I'm shaped a little like Happpythankyoumoreplease- all I want is your love. All you give me is your bullshit

Amongst the Stars

I could always handle you when you were cold water dripping down the curve of my spine and kissing the heat from my shoulder blades but when you wound around my legs and tried to drip off the tips of my fingers I had to stop you and press you back against my sternum Your kisses tasted like flower petals with edges more jagged than razorblades but I never minded when you left me raw and aching Instead I pulled your lips to my throat and let you kiss away the stardust and peel the paint from my skin- You always said I was like an old house and benith the cheep wallpaper that covered my frame were hidden secrets. I told you they wer

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge
