Love Song Revised

Riveted, Barely Breathing

Backpack Love, Greed, and Mischief
It was a simple thing, sewn of a nylon blend and coated in waterproofing sealant. The zippers were heavy duty and the stitching was machine tough. The pockets were deep and there were at least 20 of them. Best of all it came in her favorite color, camo...

Touched, Burned (Winter Coat pt. 3)
She looked out over the water that seemed to slither above the garden path. “Amazing, isn’t it?” he said to her, his voice chilling her. She nodded and smiled as they continued on. He teased her as she awkwardly stepped over the rocks...

Hope in Questions
The question barely leaves my lips, and I’m regretting giving voice to infantile fantasy. The odds are against it. Life would conspire to halt the very possibility. Great mountains of fate could very well crash down upon such vain hope. “Ex...

Hooking Up
It happened on a sunny August day. “That feels amazing,” you said between breaths. I took you in my mouth and knew. That moment I knew happiness. I felt it, in my heart, in my hand; in my mouth, I tasted pure happiness. We won’t tell ...

Two Hundred
I’ve loved you since the day we first met. The crowd was playing a then popular rap song. You were the new girl to the junior class at Salem State, you knew only your three roommates whom you met just hours before the start of the party. With no...

Want vs Need [poem]
I want to write. I need to write. It’s a desire that goes down deep into my core, a desire that cannot be topped by anything else in this world. I want to write. I want to feel the pen under my hand, moving in its rhythm with the world. I need to...
