The Unknown
by Emily Schuler

Black clouds spill like ink over the horizon
Devouring all light in their path.
My emerald world grows dark,
As if the night has come.
Sweet freedom laps at my toes,
As the wind whispers to my heart.
My soul leaps into the air.
It rides those childish dreams
That recklessly race toward the impending tempest.
I stare into the mirror at my feet,
Which ripples with each liquid pebble
That falls from the infernal heavens.
Soon the reflection in the water isn’t mine.
It isn’t a picture of myself as I am,
But a me I could become.
If I stepped off of this well- worn path,
And blaze an unknown trail,
I’d switch places with my fantasy
And make it my reality.

Love
by Nilza Martinez

Love is beautiful. Love is
Pain.
But love is also how much you can
Maintain.
Cause something so amazing, it’s not easy to
Endure.
True love, Real love is an ability you must
Work For.
To have love you must be
Strong.
To handle the greatest tears due to Extreme Rights and Dead
Wrongs.
Love sticks together through thick and
Thin.
It can fill your heart or burn beneath your
Skin.
But at the end of the
Day.
When it is all
Away.
It’s a Hug
From your Arms
Or a Kiss
From your Lips
That relieves
All that Weighs
And all that is
Left
Is love where you Lay.
