Poems By Friends

Expectations By: Michele Alvarez

I sit and I pray, I can handle another day. Living in the shadows of others, Trying to get to the expectation of my mother. Having them all look down on me. Wondering if I'll ever be, As good as they are, But where I'm standing It seems very far.

A Poem For Daddy By: Michele Alvarez

Daddy, why did you have the affair? You made your lives impossible, daddy, That wasn't very fair. I used to be your little girl, daddy, And now you don't even have a care. I used to love softball, daddy, But now I just watch and stare. Watching them, daddy, Have the life I wish was still there.

Did You Love Me? By: Kylee Hayden

Did you see me? My eyes danced around like a flash in the night Did you hear me? My heart fluttered by you then quickly took flight Did you feel me? I grinned like a child as i clasped to your hand Did you know me? This wild pixie beauty of a faraway land Did you taste me? The honeydew drops as they dripped on your tongue Did you love me? This beautiful song that will never be sung.

Vanish By: Brandon Schmidt

Sitting, Thinking of things to do, to say, thoughts to invoke as way to silence the embodyment of this elastic illusion

Quietly observing- the blandness the holliness the voices the words they speak the fall of mighty figures

Calmly I preceive with grace and dignity a way to vanish from this picture.

A Thing Called Love By: Brandon Schmidt

I could feel your touch run quivers up my spine Undress me, Caress me, see what you can find

Look inside me, what do you reveal My heart is beating faster, as my body remains still

Tickle me, whisper in my ear, tell me what you feel I gaze into your eyes, and pray that this is real

For this has consumed me, as the clouds and stars above What is this mighty connection? Its this thing I call love :)
