My Past as The Years Go By
Daniella Lockhart

  As I move, I can see the mountains opening up.  The wind blows, as if it were a breeze.  I can feel the spirits. I can see the faces of father's, father.  I can see the writings of the past.  I can see Mother Earth and Sister Sky.  I can feel the dancing of the powwows.  But, what happens when I am trapped in the air.  What happens, tell me, when I am not allowed to feel the past.  But as I can feel the blood coming threw me, I will never forget my past, as the years go by.

IF I RULED TIME

Fred David

If I ruled time

Today would last 'til tomorrow

The hours would go on for days

And the days would never end

Until you and I were content

And had our fill

If I ruled time

Thirty-five minutes would seem like a second

So I might be by your side

Whenever you willed it

If I ruled time

School would seem a distant memory

Spring break would be spring canyon

And Christmas really would last twelve days

If I ruled time

The night would never die

We'd lay together forever

On our own fluffy cloud

If I ruled time

I would be with you during the day

If I ruled time

I would be with you when you fell asleep

If I ruled time

I would be with you when you awakened

If I ruled time

I would be with you

                    whenever you needed me

                    or missed me

                    or just wanted me

If I ruled time

Plastic wrap cap

Rain, spish, splat

Cheap vinyl shoes

Stride through

Gutter blues.

Rich man's leather shoes

Walk through worse

Leather shoes see more

See more, whores, chores, open doors.

Vinyl shoes see

Things closed.

 THE SKY
abdul mueed quazi

 

I wonder looking on the sky,

How clouds could float or birds fly;

I wonder how it got up so high,

From millions of years seems never to die;

It is blue in the day and black at night,

At dark stars glow and sun makes it bright;

I wonder how it just got up there?

With no sign of wall or pillar anywhere;

Its the place where sun rises and sets,

It makes its way from east to west.

 

"one confused world"

Without you i'm living all alone

I feel like an invisible fool

living without you makes me live in one confused world

I feel like a moon without my star

I'm tired of the lonely world I live in today

That you brought me to today

I feel like a plane with no place to land

When i lost sight of everything

But nothing more than everlasting love

With out you i live in one confused world

falling silver drops

starlight melting down to earth

rain drops in the light

MY PAIN

tyisha figueroa

I hurt from inside, I cry pain, my tears flow steadily i am rain.

 I was pure like the wind but my blood was poisoned with hate.

 I once believed i was one with myself. i ask the creator is it to late.

 I am threatened by this world because life hasn't been simple. just to feel

 one day flown like an Indian river mild and tranquil.

  I own hidden feelings that break me down each day. anger is built on top

 of me exploded like a volcanoes in a rage. Tears flow steadily im captured

 in a world with no escape. past death to replace myself in front of

 heavens gates. Let me live inside of you. cause only inside of you am i

 beautiful, but for who i am please forgive me i really didn't mean too.

Our lives together...
Rebekah

I miss the way you touch me,

How you’re gentle hand touched my skin.

Not only on the outside,

But the way you reached, and slowly took it in.

I miss the way you held me,

The feeling that you'd never let me slip away.

Although, knowing we had to let go,

It's you that keeps me day by day.

I miss the way you kiss me,

Your lips pressed against mine.

Was what I felt just a dream, or really existing?

You took my breathe and suspended it in time.

I miss the way you whisper to me,

Words that only you could say or do.

But, there's nothing else I'd rather hear you whisper,

Than tenderly breathing, "I love you."

I miss the way you miss me,

Even though we'll be with each other forever.

So I won't be saying, "I miss you," anymore,

I'll be saying, all the 'miss you' that I've written will never equal our lives together...

We live our life everyday.

Trying to make something more everyday.

In fact society eats us up, as we gain weight everyday.

Excess baggage is nothing but pain.

That we throw over our shoulders everyday.

We give up on people who remind us of our past everyday.

Put on a happy face to cover up the mistakes life made us do

        everyday.

Fire
sarita laitflang

 

Heaven knows the veracity

For an epoch of severance

Seems to irk the core

Infernos enthuse passions

Forbidden is the yen

You the solitary craving

But you loathe reverence

Vexed to relinquish

For you comprehend the preordained

Revert your fury

For I will outshine the flames

And vanquish all enticement

Forever you remain my possession

In spite of your forswearing

I remain the rime for you

And you the fire of my soul

Brazen out to pine for

Abiding in you I linger

Alleviating the eternal blaze

Ensuing your unceasing ardor

Weird
Rhett Frei

 

What is Weird?

Is normal weird

or is weird normal

no body knows?

but when you are weird

your aren’t cool

to some people

so does that me your

different

or hat your understand life

better then everyone

else

but that is why

weird should

not be

taken seriously

since when you are normal

you are weird to me

but when I am weird to you

I am insane

but so if you are not weird

you are not normal

There is no other way

The Atloo
Marco Martinez

Living alone in a spacepod,

the Atloo blinks its lights contently.

Living alone should be difficult.

It takes courage to face the silence:

The silence that soothes your mind,

but pesters your heart.

                                 A NEW WALK

                                EXZAVIA LELLO

Look at me

Say what you see

Look beyond my skin

Believe that I have been

I have been in and out,

Around and about

My life has taken me on a roll,

But my smile has saved my soul

From the abuse to losing life to broken tears

I can honestly say, that I look to no more fears

As my days clear to sky blue clouds,

My body no more sits at my window looking for rainy doubts

Opening my arms to new opportunities,

My lips are able to speak steady stabilities

I almost gave in to imperfect sin

I was close to drawing the last straw,

In what I thought was a big flaw

But my life flashed before,

I could not walk through that door

Please with what I have,

I can freely walk my new path

SOMEWHERE INSIDE
William C. Ader

Somewhere inside

her uncertain smile

lurked a double-feature matinee

with hot buttered-popcorn

and a hero

on a horse.
