Untitled

In the deepest depths of my mind

where the pavement meets the black sky

and the stars kiss the sidewalk

we would meet

and I would know

you could be trusted.

Our thoughts would flow steady

and dance and weave

creating a colorful fabric of friendship

of trust

of love

But in the harsh reality

we will meet

and I will stiffen

my thoughts might come out

will be rusted and jagged

all wrong in my ears and in your eyes

and I will lose myself in that moment

lose everyone else

and it will all cave in

my entire being

the force of the crash compacting it

to a small spot behind my heart

and its gravity will keep everything in

tucked in safe

alone

this is a super rough first draft

Well, for a super rough first draft, I would have to say it is pretty amazing. Nice write.

Wow..it is beautiful. While reading your poem, I had memories of my own insecurity as a teen. Those days were dark, but I wish I could go back and tell my young self not to dwell so much on others. Especially boys, and to just enjoy being young. You are very talented. Could you please review, "Janey." The first chapter of my book, My Way.

Thanks
