Myriad Of Time
by Joy S.

The wind always howling, 
The rain always pounding, 
And the sun always burning. 
The weather, 
A never changing story is a play of the world. 
Time, flying by like a bird, 
Passes us by with unknown mystery. 
Our plans useless, 
To such a phenomenon, 
As the loss of life in the myriad of time.

Held by Strings

There was a girl who was held by strings a girl 
who never had seen the world she was missing out 
on anything and everything
 she never had fun never been happy just because she was held by strings
 tose strings held her back from life as we know it 
then one day everything changed a gust of wind blew by and seen with her
 verry eye she was gone with the wind some say she wished to hard to leave 
some say she wished to little 
but the ones that were there said she just vanished 
as if it was a magic trick all because she was held by strings.

"HONEY"

Someday I'll search far and wide

As you run and try to hide

I will look everywhere

I'll go to places anywhere

To try and find you…

While the sky goes from blue to black 

I try to get my honey back

And as I find you I will ask

Why this was such a hard task

To get my honey back

I see
I see that you are gone
Gone with my heart
You left me with nothing
That night when you walked
Walked as if i did not exist
Now I see you cannot be trusted.

Wonderful Night


What a wonderful night
with the stars shinning bright
The fullmoon hanging up high
such a clear sky

I see a shooting star
seems so close but really so far
With a blink of an eye
I make a wish then I cry 

They were happy tears 
and they wash away all my fears 
w/ all the hurt I've had 
I know it'll never again be that bad

I look up and this is what I say 
I thankyou God....everyday 
For sending someone who has been here
even through all the hurt he still fights w/ no fear

I thankyou God for sending me a friend
and I know w/ us there is no end
So thankyou again cause I've fallen in love
w/ an angel you've sent me from above

Amen! And w/ all the stars in the sky 
and the moon hanging up high
On my face theres a smile that appears
cause I know he loves me and cares

I Saw You.......
By Madeline Cruz

I saw your eyes twine with mine 
Your heart is ever so pure and fine 
I saw you in my dreams 
Your love keeps on it seems 
I saw you watching me cry that night 
Your strong arms held me ever so tight, I saw you in the audience 
I was able to keep my strength and confidence 
I saw you on the silver moon 
Your presence there was way to soon 
I screamed desperately watching you die 
Your last breath told me not to cry 
I saw you in my thoughts 
For me you had no faults 
I saw you next to me 
Then I looked behind me...there was nothing to see 
I guess you were still there 
Together we make a loving pair

A Dream
By Madeline Cruz

Racing a white Unicorn 
Healing a dragon that was cut and torn 
Kissing a magical prince 
I was able to fly ever since 
Holding a moon beam in my hand 
Mermaids lying on the glittery sand 
Flying up into the black sky 
Smelling a rose, hearing the wind cry 
Hatred shattered by a single tear 
A single kiss that eased my fear 
Being the princess of the midnight sky 
Hear the waves of the ocean sigh 
Then when sunrise spilled its light 
I took one last look then I flew off into the night 
Then I woke up in the sun's rays 
All of my memories are in a haze 
I found a familiar rose on my chest 
It was just a dream I guessed 
I went to my balcony over the ocean called gleam 
Then a prince I've seen before took my hand and we flew away into the moon's beam

When the going gets rough

When the going starts to get rough
And you feel like you've truly had enough
When your heart witters in your naked palms
And your tears are frozen to the beat of one more
Heart wrenching saddened slow slow song...

Let the dreams of days before fill your soul
Let your most diligent butterflies take you
To lands of fantasy, under a shining moon
That shares the sky with the sun in an utmost
Harmony, never again making you suffer
To the silence of a night...

And let your heart break the gilded chain
Let yourself see farther than the hurt that crowns your mind
Don't satisfy your hunger of crumbles of bread
Nor satisfy your thirst of salted water
But make every step you take a journey to discover
The richest of the treasures that lies in your endeavor.

There's nothing out of reach if you just give yourself a chance
If you lift your heart upon the task your wishing soul demands
For there's no dream to lie in the darkest street at night
No dreamer to imagine something to never be in sight
And what ever the mind summons is in all so possible
That you can put on foot if you just fight for it's control
It's to believe, it's to keep hope, it's to never give away
The determination that push our selves to get up and try again...

Because we are who we are, and are born for true success
Because we are real, alive, and have mysteries to uncover
Because we are strong in our biggest weaknesses and
Believing across our biggest despairs...

Because we have the will to make all dreams possible,
We have no need to worry, no need to frown,
We are all children of this world, and we will
Drink a thousand oceans before we prove
To be won by impossibility.

There's never a day without a sparkle of hope
To cross your life hood journey
So keep your eyes on track
And believe, for there is beauty
And smiles beyond this weather
Of a darkened stormy night... 

Dragon Dream

By Madeline Cruz

Streaming through the midnight stars

Down below the little specks are cars

His claws scrape the moons light

I ride on his back on a steady flight

He is the color of cloud white and sky blue

There he goes and off he flew

One day I wished for a dragon to play

Then one day my wish came to stay

He flies with gallant and pride

And when he swims he does a slippery glide

He has a spell on him to behold

Ready for me to open and unfold

Then I remembered when I was little I fell in a river

He saved me and gave me a pearl of silver

While I rode on his blue sleek back

He flies quit fast cause’ he rides with no slack

I whispered my memory into his ear

He shattered and I was struck with fear

But in that dragon body was a boy

My age in fact and his name was Lehoy

I broke his spell

And down we fell

Lehoy said thank you for saving me

He has ocean blue eyes I could see

I gave him a kiss good bye

Then off he flew into the midnight sky

WHERE IS HE?

When I thought by my inner mind

Where can I see him where can I find?

Several thoughts came out and lined

A simple one burst out and shined.

In a simple voice it begin to quote

In a river of terror if you want to float 

And reach the banks of that river

You need to sail on the religious boat.

I sailed on the boat,

I began to float

I crossed the river,

And I reached the fort.

I entered the fort bold and brave

I moved inside as quickly as a wave,

The evil too was afraid of me

I killed him down and showed his grave.

Then I reached the forest range

Where everything was going crazy and strange

I had to pick either good or bad

It was demons great challenge

In the meanwhile something was wrong

Something was making me brave and strong

Something was helping me throughout my way 

Something was in me all along

For a while I sat and thought 

Who helps me in my travel throughout?

Who is the one who is in me?

Who controlled my mind and thought?

Soon a figure loomed out of my mind

Who seemed to generous and kind

I felt that I always knew this thing

It entered inside me and joined

Then I felt I got something

Neither a crown nor a blue diamond ring

Again I saw that simple thought

It came near me and began to sing

In a low voice it began to say

He is in your studies and he is in your play

He helped you throughout your ride

The fact is that he is everywhere



He always lives in everything

Even in a poor and even in a king

Those who try and listen to his words

It is sure that they always win

I felt so happy that I started screaming

I opened my eyes , I was just dreaming.

Fairy Tale

By Erin Eloise Tulberg (age 16)


I want my wardrobe to be a fountain

I want my room to be forever clean

I want to climb a mountain

I hope that my nature is never mean

I dream of a beautiful world 

I dream of a city that embraces me

I dream of a place that never speaks an ill word

I feel like a Holly Go lightly

I wish for understanding lifelong friends

I wish for someone that makes me fell warm inside

I wish for good times to never end

I pray to live now and not to die

My childish dreams to the heavens I mail

My teenage wish, my fairy tale

Open

By Erin Eloise Tulberg (age 16)

I can't ever tell by a look

But upon second glance I begin to wonder

Was the look just a look?

Nothing more than a simple graze through the air

Yet people do conceal by certain doors

Invisible doors that can't be touched 

But they hide unthinkable thoughts

Hopes

Dreams

Desires

And as days pass by, so do smiles and laughter

And looks

For the first time I know my gaze is a closed door

Too frightened to open

It collected a protective shield of dead bolts and dust

Although it did once open

Peering in, he found that his eyes saw nothing

Nothing at all

So I've kept the door closed

For I know that beautiful things lie behind it

But no one has the right key

My love for you is deep

My love for you is deep
Although you think it's not true
And ever since you left
You know I've been missin you

The way you talked
the way you loved
the way you kissed
the way you hugged

So please come back
from wherever you are
right now I'm wishing
on that lucky star

Star of wonder
Star of night
Star of royal
beauty bright

Please let him
back into my world
Let him into the love
of a lonely little girl

Sparkly Dream
By Madeline Cruz

I watch the stars on a cool summer night.

I listen to the birds in the gentle moonlight.

The swift pink sweet honey flower.

The Fairies crush these in a magic powder.

Thee little mermaids ripple the river.

Thee moon and the stars bath them in silver.

See the waves dance to it's own lullaby.

See how the turtles wave it goodbye.

Then pink clouds hover over with grace.

Then they shred to a powdery lace.

I watch the stars on a cool summer night.

I listen to the birds in the gentle moonlight.

The Candle’s Still Burn

By Madeline Cruz

I bundle up tight and gaze at the candles

The candles still burn

I feel warm and safe and remember long ago

The Candles still burn

I eat lakas and open gifts and squeal with laughter

The Candles still burn

I sing the prayers and my heart is beating

The Candles still burn

I let the candles burn until they’ll die in the night

When I woke up in the morning

 When the birds sing

The Candles still burn

Black Thunder

by madeline cruz

The black sleek coat

The strong muscular legs

The flying mane

 The flipping tail

Black thunder

The bullet speed

The thundering hooves

The blackness darting the fields

The whirling winds

 Black thunder

The cool black eyes

The sneering laughs

The world in this horses heart

The wonders stored in him

Black thunder

Summer

Color, Color Wherever I look,

The season of Summer comes like never before,

I wish, o’ I wish, at the fireworks glare, 

to have a playful year.

The fireworks make a crackling sound,

In the future I’ll be doing this again.

Dream
Shallow faces, hollow eyes
Mostly angels in disguise,
This is my life through my eyes.
Thoughts harsh and wild,
Like a thorny rose of a child.
Both length and distance
These thoughts grow
Where they shall end I will not know
Thoughts are just thoughts 
And dreams are still dreams
My thought is be not nobody
To be yourself
And see what it seems.

A Tribute to Aaliyah

Hearts were Broken
Hopes were taken
It was as if the world was crying
As there were memories of her dying
The princess of the land was traveling through the air
She had not a care but to get back to her fans
The family of her heart
People die in movies
But this was real
And was if a family member died
A person whom you are so ever close to
Forever gone and never to be seen again
Many have had this experience of someone dying
It feels like something is missing from your heart
Something in which you are never to get again
This is how I felt when the death of Aaliyah took place
I thought about my life and all the things that I have
Things I should be more grateful for
Things I am used to
That I use for everyday events
If these things were taken away
I wouldn't be able to survive a day
This is what I have to say, think about what you have
And what others had and were taken away
Along with her life
~Think~
