I wrote these back in 7th & 8th grade.
Foundations
(Ring around the roses)
Mountains of the moon
Standing in the blue light
Shattering elaborate dreams
(Pockets full of posies)
Scarlet rains
Stain sidewalks and faces of our children
Wounded freedom etched by violence
(Ashes, ashes)
Memories kept in wooden boxes
Hitler punished the Jews
The city is the burial ground
Buildings are the coffins
The body of a mother,
A friend,
A stranger
Smile, I’ll smile back at you
(We all fall down)

Crowds mingle
Whispering perspiration
Upon my skin
Glowing dew
Caress with fingertips
Traveling packs
Of men
Of women

Take your time
With me
My mind (my heart)
Precious as a pearl
Fragile
Crystal
Breaks

A mask to cover identity
And a smile is but a lie
There are lords and
There are creatures
We are all hidden in disguise

Hold me tight if you dare so do
You know how I might reply on
Talents such as yours and mine?
Count the numbers one and two ‘til
Ten or twelve on
Full moon’s glow that’s bright and
Sharp like the eagles eye
Spots the mouse from the sky
Across the world
In a field I see a
Painting of you and I.

Ghost in a sea of misery
Condemned to the life of tragedy
Illusions are all a fantasy
You’re a rebel of today’s society

We have become loose leaf
Notebook paper scattered about
We are free to fly wherever we wish
Do not crumple loose leaf
Notebook paper and throw it away
For you are crumpling up
My mind and forcing me
To stay imprisoned

Two beasts made love as children
Young and fresh as the dawn
The wet dew
Comes
From caressing night
Into day
