In Sorrow, by Elise Boucher

In Sorrow, by Elise Boucher

I love you

In sorrow and change

Mirth days gone

Child sight strained

Grown now

Fire temper pain

Takes away brilliance

Leaves colors drained

Oh, my hands hold nothing

But turning, I still stay

In sorrow I now love you

And in loss live duller days.

 


The Sea Calls My Name, by Brandon Haut

Crashing Whitecaps, by Brandon Haut

 

I stand at its edge

While its powerful show

Comes to lap at the shore

With its ebb and its flow.

Sometimes it’s stilled;

Others unrest.

Quiet as it’s kept,

But lurking between

The in and out tide

Hides a force to be reckoned with.

And the sea calls my name

With a vigorous plow

Of violent winds

And words not shallow.

It thrashes its fists against the coast

And hisses a storm

And beckons me

Forward onto the surf-tormented shore.

“Sail on my wings,” it bellows within,

“And be free of your life of trivial things.

Come sail in the deep and breathe in the blue

For a day and a year or a century or two.

I am old, but can you not see

The likeness between you and me?

I crash and escape

While my mouth is agape,

As do you, who knows not what there is

To really see of me.”

My humble tears

Fall like rain;

Away with all

Forgotten pain.

My memories

Are far and near

Amidst a liquid

Crystal clear

That is the air

That moves the tide;

The atmosphere

I hide inside.


Silent, Skinny, by Breanna Klugiewicz


Broken Pieces, by Heather Gaworski

He struggles with any chance to be normal
People only see him on the outside
The inside fighting to maintain control
No one sees the perfectness of the whole picture
The confusing stairway leading to a blank face
The mind is a beautiful thing to hold on to
Screaming inside waiting for the pathway to appear
His feelings I endure patiently
I hurt through him and with him
Always questioning the answer
When I thought you wouldn’t make it through
I was standing there
Waiting for you to fall


Lady on the Stair, by Rachel Richardson


While You’re Away, by Eileen Rugolo

Think about me,

Just once in a while

During all those shows,

That will make you smile.

 

And I don’t mean,

Just the rock bands

I’m talking about,

Those with the tans.

 

I ask that you,

Don’t join in those games

And please don’t,

Get any names.

 

The only one,

That should be on your mind

Is the one at home,

That is basically blind.

 

From all the things,

That will go on up there

I have to be strong,

And not have a care.

 

I’m trying to believe,

And to trust

I do need your help,

And this is a must

 

This is hard on me and,

I know you know why

The hurt is so deep,

I sometimes still sigh.

 

So be faithful,

And be true

Not only to me,

But, also to you.

 

These next five days,

For you will be fun,

But, I’ll be wondering,

What has he done?

 

So, please don’t you lie,

And do tell the truth

For I can take it,

Though, I might not be couth.

 

Give me the respect,

That couples do share

Do what you want,

But, buyers beware!

 

I know that you love me,

I love you too

Don’t toss me aside,

Like some old shoe.

 

We’ve been through a lot,

I’ve been there for you

Through all those tough times,

With your work and your school.

 

I care so deep,

For this relationship

Let’s not have a Cadot,

Make it take a dip.

 

Think about me,

Just once in a while,

That alone,

Will make me smile.
