Water

(The title doesn't seem to fit that will for some reason. Any help on that?)

Still Water swirls around me
Everywhere, and yet not felt
Nothing but another domain
Another Element
It isn't a foreign thing
Just thick air
But it makes me stronger
I can jump higher
And dance all the more spectacular.
The water is like an extent of me
Because I offered it my body
And when it took it,
I captured it with my soul

Lingering Joy Midst Despair

(Title is not official)

Walking through the hall
a book clutched tight against my chest
like a shield from sorrow.
Eyes on the ground, walking quickly
as if not wanting to slow down and think
because I'm aftaid of my own thoughts.
Caught in the dreary state between dream and despair
A mixture of
Frustration
Thoughtfulness
Tiredness
And lack of confidence
Bottled up in my heart.
But there is something else.
Lying on my bed, I let my despair melt
Like cold snow.
But it leaves behind one last emotion
The special feeling of joy
That lingered
When she looked into my eyes
And gave me her smile.

Nighttime

The rain falls hard against the ground
And night falls even harder.
Darkness seeps into the air
Into the houses
Into the sky
Into the soul.
The rain is the only sound
Besides the deafening sound of silence.
Maybe somewhere
There is a smile
THat could light up the sky
If anyone could see it.
Maybe somewhere
There is a laugh
That oculd soften the silence
If it wasn't shattering it.
