Dark Meet
Ivan Yefremov

This world is cruel this world is sour
Let's meet each other at the darkest hour
Let's see our fate disintegrate
Let's see our souls turn into light
To give us fuel for our flight
When will we meet
Where will we land
We'll never know until we finally see the end
My one and only you, my friend.

Nobody Can Fathom
Erin Hughes

Ability to speak
Wisdom beyond my years
Nobody can fathom
What I perceive

Signs of aging
Do not faze me
We contain an identical mind

My rock, my one to hold
Stable.
No silences, no stumbles.

20 years apart
It’s something I simply do not see.
Others do not agree.

Nobody can fathom what I perceive.
Or they are envious, just so very envious
Of me.

How It Happened
Mr Sewall

For months she sat the whole day long,
Forlorn and mute on a corner perch,
A newbie, all she did was peck
Away his constant gentle wooing.

But he persisted as years went by,
Constant, kind, devoted; his gift
To her his never-ending song
And she in time responded, whether

To his song or from her timid
Nature I may never know, but
Now they’re equal: singing, squawking,
Chirping, chasing, bumping beaks from dawn to dark.

It sure is fun to be a parakeet!

Contentment

Esther Gutkovsky

Contentment is
Hearing the rain outside your window and drops on the roof and knowing that you don’t have anywhere to be.
Contentment is
A cold drink of water after a long hike,
During which you saw pouring waterfalls that reflected the sunlight and realized that you had never felt closer to G-d than at that moment.
Contentment is
The smile of approval on your mother’s face.
Contentment is
Knowing that you are being the best you can be and that it’s excellent.
Contentment is
The knowledge that you did well even though the recognition might not come for a long time.
Contentment is
The closeness of having someone there for you whenever you need him.
Contentment is
A cup of hot tea, and the warmth that seems to pour into every inch of your body.
Contentment is
Sitting in silence with a best friend, knowing that you don’t have to say anything for your emotions to be expressed.
Listen Carefully 
Charles Hopson
What if I kissed you right now, will the thrill be gone? What if I showed you a good time in Houston, Atlanta,Vegas? What if I tell you I am ready for you to start something brand new with me? What if I tell you I’m missing you? Don’t be scared of me, so smile and enjoy yourself with me. Don’t get mad with me over Ignorant shit! You can be the best I ever had you probably will be the best I will ever have. I am saying what’s real! We’re sitting on the beach listing to the smooth calm waves, splashing on the rocks, looking at the night sky where the fireworks sparkle as it brightens the night sky. Spending an unforgettable time with each other.  So I hope I can find your love, every little bit counts. While we are apart, Think good thoughts, come to winter, we will have it your way
An Apology to My Students
 Mr. Sewall  (10/04/11)
I woke up late today, with work to do, but I had to see the world.
And there it was, at my desk, in all its online sinking monied glory,
Unraveling before my eyes as dispatches from markets in our global village
Crossed my silent screen. As I scanned my twenty favorite sources
Anguished voices told me from my talking screen that markets
Are doing worse today, the rich folks feeling now a touch,
A little touch, of the pain the poor have felt for years. On Wall Street,
The Occupiers are being heard, bearded men, tattooed women, taking on
A system no one else has tackled, these gutty kids, they’re bright,
They’re surprising me, they’ve taken a baton from Arab hands that took it
Out of Africa which had it from India via Selma. I check them out, hop from
Site to site, probe their message, write up their stories, post their
Pictures, quite excited, too involved, which is why I didn’t grade your papers.
Looks Change
Zohra Ghazyani

Thought life was hard bein plain old me
Never thought there was someone out there, worse than i could ever be
After hearing their stories, i take time to stop and think
How easy it'd be if life went by in just a blink
Why does life have to be so hard?
Why can't it stay safe, like it was in the start
Why do they break, heart after heart?
Like shattered glass, our worlds have part
All i wanted was what i could never have
Your love, your love, it was your love i couldn't have
I wanted your love, it's more than a word
It's a thought, an expression, a feeling unheard
People say "why him, he's not even hot"
But personality is key, and that's what he's got
They say "who cares, what matters are looks"
But that can be decieving, as can be covers of books
I love him for who he is and not what he became
Because no matter how much time may change, he'll always be the same...

Reality


Ivan Yefremov

Reality is you
Reality is me
Reality is what we often cannot see
Reality is us

Reality is this class
Reality is how fast the time can pass
Reality is hate reality is love

Reality is rain when,
It falls from above
Reality is war, reality is pain
Reality is our deepest thoughts
That we all try to contain

Will Death Do Us Apart?

Reema Irfan

I see you everyday staring at me
This is not romance, but more of a mystery
It is indeed what everyone would call a strange love story
People want me to end this bond and become free
For I listen to them yet silently disagree
How can death make erasing someone from your life easy?




Love Lost
Nachelle Burton

When I say one thing, you say another
When I say its blue, you say its another color
Opposites attract, I know that for a fact
But when your around people you don’t know how to act
And I don’t know how to react to you because we are so not alike
It seems like you don’t want to get along you rather fight
I’ll never leave and I know you wont either
Just make me a believer
Every relationship has their ups & downs times for smiles, times for frowns
People out here looking for lovem its never found
I know one thing Ima always be around with that being said its me and you together.
Established 9/22 to the day after forever.
