July

Painted toes

Tangerine kiss

Ska music

Perfumed magazine pages

Hot breezes

Bare shoulders

Silver chain

from that boy by my locker

White sand

Sugary sweet pop

12/09/08

Trinket box
Freely open
Remember, examine, question
Peek inside
Old wounds
Raw, bruised
Suspiciously subdued
Cautious? ...Exhausted
Spent.
Cold, Shining, Still
Reminders 
Love, dreams,
Pain
Will to fight
Freedom? Chains?
Conquered. Enslaved.
I remain, respectfully
Reverent
Pieces of me

Hurricanes
Curiously calm...
Tokens.
Stepping stones?
War cries?
Survival guide.
Warning signs?
Go home, girl.
Grow up, girl.
A lesson learned
A witness
A lie
And peace

Neon Lights

Warning signs
Written out
Diagram...map and key.
Dangerous

(Resplendent)

In neon lights
Gonna listen?
...not me.

Emotional hangover
Wreckage
Landmines
Fearless freedom, airborne, lifted, limitless.

(Rhapsody)

Reckless
Caution? The wind...

Worth the risk to Breathe.
Breathe

Unconditional everything.

Warrants no explanation
Silly girl. No hesitation.
No ceiling. None. Fly..

(Crash...and burn)
