6 A.M. Thoughts Keira Duryee

I am just a manAnd you are just a woman. That’s as simple and complex as it gets. We were two complex solar systems. We are made up of planets that don’t particularly serve a purpose. But that makes us more beautiful,Yet more unpredictable.One day, or night, I don’t know which it was--Your asteroid danced across the empty space that I called me. And I decided to dance with you, Because that was the only thing I could do. But one day, or night, I don’t know which it was--You vanished.I felt an empty void inside of me that you temporarily occupied. Nevertheless, I called it love. I guess I should’ve known you weren’t going to stay.You were meant for a bigger galaxy. That makes me feel emotion which should be called sadness,Or is it a sense of unkempt anxiety?Either way, I guess we were never really meant to love each other,If that’s even what it was.Yes . . . I truly believe I loved you.I am just a manAnd you are just a woman. That’s as simple and complex as it gets.

Fly Me To the Moon A. D.

Fly me to the moonjust out of reachTo get me awayfrom the sorrowsthat I keeplocked away insidea dark wooden boxburied in my soul. I know not what lurksin those shadows.So, fly me to the moonsomewhere I can dreamof a love untolda secret to unfolda place to be me. A place where the lightis always green; a place where creativityreigns supreme; a place where Godis just but an arm’s reach.Fly me to the moon.

Falling ApartJosiah Inman

Life has went awaywhile I’ve gone astray. Please tell me what to do,I never want to choose.It falls around me, The tribes say it’s due to chi.I need but to open my eyeto see all the people cry. Pain is the promise I will keep,I will bring it while you weep.I am the whisper in the night,Hear me while the tears blur your sight. There is no longer any hope,How will I cope?I am within the grips of dark,I have now been made the devil’s mark.Please let me escape! I don’t need a chart to see thatthings fall apart. Help me.

Breath of Life Maximo Franco

Sucked in,Pushed out.These are the breaths,The breaths of life.

Stolen and abused,Saddened and misused.These are the souls,Who breathe of life.

Joyful and open minded,Amazing and talented,Unique and loving.Intelligent from learning,How to breathe of life.

Alone are some,Seeking others.While some can’t get away,From the group they stay.

If this is life,How is it so?That I now stand,Together nor alone,Yet without a body,Or a breath.So now suck in,And my last out,My final breath of life.

Raveled In The TrenchesKatrina Herrera

raveled in the trenches of a town susceptible to misconceptioni saw myself bereft of life; smothered by viscous knobs of glue adhering flying pages of slandera fictitious manifestation springs from the paper--she is a verb of malleabilityi whisper her name, three syllables of lead and a roll of poison i constructed the wild strands, the wild gaze, the wild composition of printed atoms that now lay mangleda testament to my subjective war with the narrative.

he utters to her, not me, “people do not love those whose eyes are elsewhere.” i eye the cadaver, her achromatic tint matching my penmanship andwonder when they will regard her discontinuity. for her subset persona is composed in morphemes and plaster as she slides across the ample spine of a dictionary to unearth the amassment of words that appease to the masses.

he is looking at me, but waiting for her. the steady percolation of the venom cascades off his tongue like waterpulling, pulling, pulling him towards the remains by his head he devours dead inkhe composes a verb that allures his adrenalinehe begs me to give her breathi leave flowers on her pages.

TimeA. D.

Time. What is time?Is it he passingof hoursor is itthe way the earth moves?Is it the seasonsor eventhe color of the sky?Is it the way helooks at youvulnerable, trusting, and loving?What is time,and why do we measure it?Maybe we long toCapture the eternitylaid out in front of us insmaller increments,tiny snapshots to savorand then slowly fade awaywhen the end draws near.

Untitled Maximo Franco

And then he said“I ask thy lordTo make it rain.Show the worldMy deepest pain.”

And with the rain Reflecting his painHis sorrows broke Like a floodFor him to see On his hands was blood.

With tears drowningHis loudest cries,“ I ask the worldTo forgive,You broke my soulIs that motive?”

With his blood seepingFrom his chest,His grieving criesWere put to rest.

Though his bodyWas drained of life,On his skinWas a tapestry of strife.

Faith Stephen Shepherd

The dark surrounds meBut I have nothing to fear,Because I, of the many,know that God is near.He protects me from evil, And from Satan too.Put your faith in Jesus, Because Jesus loves you.

In The End A. D.

In the end, theGod-sent ice saved me. The wreckage from the fireIs still there, butThat is another poem forAnother time. At first, I was scared of theIce. I didn’t want to beBurned again, nor did I wantTo accept something that did notCome from Him.Fearful that the ice would melt,I frantically accepted its offer;The offer promised me peace and a New beginning. Eventually, I came to realizeThat I had no reason to fearThe ice. I just had to makeSure that I wasn’t thanking The ice for saving me. I had to learn by enduring aCrucible – that my worth doesNot lie in the fire nor the ice,But in the Cross alone.

The Moon Shines A. D.

The moon shines, the stars twinkle. The crickets chirp,and I sit in aweat a world so beautiful. God knew what He was doing,crafting such a place as this.If only the world was notcrumbling at our fingertips.If only we were not destroying one another.What happened to loveand kindness?What happened to believing?Jesus Christ died so that wemay live in heaven with Him.Why must we turn our backs?Take a look around at theworld we have created. I want to grow it.I will not destroy, not anymore.

Drink From This A.D.

Drink from thisOld rotten dirtDrink from this cup of lace. Drink and you tooShall seeA lie in permanent place. The world is not kindAnd simple. They lie to youRight from the crib. The world is a darkAnd scary placeThat won’t letThe light shine in. So drink form this cup a spellDrink from the cup of pure goldThat only wishes you well.Go out in the darkAnd dance with the shadows, Make friends With the spirits too.For if you drink from this cupOf pure gold, The spirits will take you too.
