A note before you start reading this particular poem. We were doing an excercise and we had to write the poem the same way it would have been if we had to text it to someone.
Now the poem
---------------------------
Dont forget
together we r everything
when i think of you
birds sing a lovely harmony
your always on my mind
you say you feel the same
is it true
my heart beats only for you
the sweet smell of all that is you
lingers from when you last held me
your voice
the sound of heavens above
your laughter
stays with me
this is how i really feel
so dont forget.
-----------------------------
The world shook.
The ground opened up.
Inviting us in.
We looked into its depths.
Knowing if we took one step in it would swallow us whole.
Being brave we stepped in.
The jaws of earth surrounding us.
We heard each rumble,
each complaint.
Water rushed towards us from the end,
we turned the way we came.
Wanting to not be in the mess of earth's lunch.
As earth spit up the remains of the meal,
we hid in trees.
Letting their leaves cover us,
for one more day.
Then we will finally take earth on.
We will win one day.
The sweet smell of victory,
mingles with the burned out smell of losing.
Is it possible to have both at once?
I finally took the reins and steered the horses the direction I wanted to go.
But now the colors are mixing.
The reds and blues of life.
Mixing into a tiedye hoodie.
That I know must wear.
Everyday until I right this.
Take back my win.
Accept my loss.
But can I do that with my head held high?
Do I want to try?
There's a hill I'm walking down,
where I'm equal to the sky.
A shiver of cold,
then the hum of heat.
Burst of music,
the sound of elephants.
It seems dangerous,
descending down.
We come from many places,
so we see many folks faces.
Some determined to be breaking barriers.
Some wants others to butt out.
Then there's an annoying midget,
galloping to the fire.
Its not as funny as it sounds.
But those examining us.
They are the wolves.
We sheep just want no violence.
Diamonds welded together.
Wolves with the sheep.
There's no call for scripts.
Saftey begins here.
We are all,
equal to the sky.
