  Why do writers write?

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  I write to document the stories in my head that I may or may not experience in my own life. To remember great times, to wish for great times, and experience life in its purest form, beginning with the formations of letters. Twisted little girl, Do you know not the meaning? Do you know not the trut...

  Writing

  Is what I am doing It’s what I’ve always been doing Even if the thoughts never made it to paper Made up stories of aliens and fairy tales Ghosts and magic tomatoes My mind swirls with colors and characters I wait to meet my new acquaintances The invisible boy, the dangerous pun...

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  There was a rich book store on the outskirts of town. A book store that possessed books with yellow tattered pages; books that still held the remnants of old fingerprints along the edges; books bound in dark leather resembling the smell of a well crafted shoe. Cherry wood shelves lined the green pap...

  They say you should never hold onto the past. You should let go and move on. That’s life for most of us on this planet. You live with something or someone that become part of your soul. You get comfortable with it and love it with every fiber that man has ever possessed. And then it’s gone in an...

  This is How much I love you

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  The room was dimly lit. There were people clinging to the sticky barstools and cherry red tables. I could taste the cigarette smoke in the room. We claimed our table right away; left corner towards the stage. I left her there with our coats and gave her a kiss in the forehead. “I’ll be right bac...

  Memories Gone

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  Lock your small heart, talk like a monotone, Repent your sins and always say them in darkly tone, Bidding your allowances to my every quote Break ties you liar, scratch them never promote. Your narrowing girlfriend creeping character, Keeping you by her side she supports bad nature. Take bow...

  It was that time again Time for you to walk with me My eyes squint in search for your presence And my mouth turns upward as you approach I slam the teal metal locker and take a breath Your brown eyes and sincere expression bring color to my cheeks I look up You smile down You are much tal...

  Out of Reach

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  Two evenings ago as she slept with peace Her mind drifted towards a wishful being Blurred but visible, the dream would not cease There he stood--her eyes turned disbelieving His smile engulfed she who stood astound Eyes met eyes Emeralds resembling diamonds left her dazed Mind questioned, sh...

  Reverie

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  I see the wooden spoon sift through the rich tomato sauce flavored with dried oregano. The spoon that has served our memories through meals and through life. I smell the fresh crisp basil with its aroma so light yet powerful along with the caramelized garlic crackling in the copper pot – the ...

  Not Again

  

  By Sabrina9305, South Plainfield, NJ

  A thought that escapes your mind makes you present all around. Present through the supposed shenanigans of which it is born. Absent of action, however, a thought is a thought and it does return.

  The Del Piano home felt very calm on that comfy night / Sounds of T.V. and laughter were tangled with a delight / There was no homework to be done, not one worry at all / It was just the family together without any brawl // An abrupt loud pounding traveled through the playful air / The loud sound ca...
