  Science and Storms

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  The tears of angels crashing, and it’s no graceful sound. Droplets disassemble amongst the concrete ground: The ground then breaks each droplet: dispersions furthermore Till they synchronize- organize- puddles on the floor. The puddle merely mirrors, it mirrors a reflection Of the night’s h...

  Pantoum

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  His heart is like Sierra Leone: Ample and overt Eyes shine like clean cut diamonds, lying in the dirt And I cannot begin to convey what each eye portrays Because I get lost, completely, with each and every gaze Eyes shine like clean cut diamonds, lying in the dirt While the world spin...

  Revelation Rhapsody

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  I often interpret philosophy as fact-- metaphysics is embedded as definite science in my mind. Might I be as half-witted as the sons who declare “moronic” on the fathers of philosophy, I too would be naive. But in this insecure upbringing, I’ve learned to never stray from this so-called “mor...

  The Great Gatsby

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  Like smoke in a church: The trembling truth of what seems so May no longer seem so clear. Golden icons appear yellow behind smoke, So never trust all you see. Don’t even trust all you’re told. I plead. I plead. Suppressing reality with vivid envisions, Programming the mind in the ...

  Freak of Nature

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  A clown is laying- Yes- laying- in the jungle. He's also nature. He isn't running, He isn't even breathing, But he's still nature. The tiger catches, Because he is not ready. He, too, is nature. No clown, now no show. Tell the circus they're done with Defyi...

  The Pianist's Piano

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  The piano cries your story- she can barely stand. And although her keys are chipped and fragile, She's unlocked your clenched up hand. A hand holding secrets- secrets held denied, Until the Piano takes your hand in nurture, Promising a guide. But the two will cry forever: Melodies finall...

  Diamond

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  You defined me as a diamond: flawless and pure, Materializing to the world you're so set and secure. Implicating that I was a person completely overt, Like a sparkling stone dropped in the dirt. Well, this idea needs to be diverted, and reasserted, Because diamonds are coated in mud bef...

  Transitions

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  Somewhere in the transition between last winter and spring, I stopped dreaming. And it might've been when I stopped reading, around the time that I stopped writing. Perhaps when I slept scarcely And when I slept, it was sickly with dreams of white bats and black wolves, eyes bleeding and te...

  Solute the Sea

  

  By Kristina055, Park Ridge, IL

  How the horizon of these waters, expand in the heavens: They meet, I watched them meet. Circumference behind a collinear degree, I watched the sun salute the sea. Scattered sparkles caressed the silhouette of the pallid clouds, how they beset Of colorless obscurity, how they beset. I scoped a...
