“Finally, it's Friday man,” exclaims Nora as she passes the cigarette to me. We stood outside the Salstone bar which is brimming with young people. Earlier Nora asked me why we drove this far? To that, I just mentioned it’s just for a change. She was worried that she might not get a signal on her phone which recently became her essential part of her family. “Oh yes. I so need booze, want to join?” I asked her knowing the...

Even in my darkest nights, you pull me close and hold me tight. You whisper in my ear, "Everything will be okay. Tomorrow is another day. Sometimes we all feel this way." You wipe the tears from my cheeks and softly kiss my head. Taking me in those safe strong arms, you carry me to bed. And even when I struggle and put up a fight, you hold me closer still and soothe away my fright. I don't know how to show you. I can't fi...

You're the future I seekAs I left my past behind,Your love is like A mysterious dream,That's just out of reach.Do our futures intertwine?Or do we go our own ways?Like the parting of a connecting road?Your love is like a dream,I couldn't resist anymoreAs my heart allows it in.I'm reaching out a handBeyond the memoriesGently inviting youTo be where I am.I won't ever let goOf your handUntil we can breakThe chainsAnd let our...

My world seems to always be spinning out of control. I feel as though I am never winning when I stop to pay the toll, to that troll, who lives beneath the bridge that now swings open. My wings have yet to fail me, even when my heart has been broken. Pay the token, pay the dime. No matter what you toss my way, I’ll dance for you every time. And when the rest stand and stare in puzzled bits of wonder, I’ll spread my wings t...

Happy Birthday my sweet friend Your friendship means the world to me You really are a godsend I’m filled with happiness and glee Every day we chat and talk together We share our lives each day Happy days or stormy weather Today I wish you a Happy Birthday If we were closer, we’d have a drink I might take you to lunch or dinner I’d make a toast and we’d clink During our meals we’d listen to a singer Perhaps I’d take you to...

Assassinate a friendshipEviscerate a heartAbrade a soul that trustedWhen you chose to depart You knew my fearsWhere I was weakYou learned them over timeI couldn’t be the one you wishedMore your fault than mineYou claim you made adjustmentsThere were some, I agreePerhaps it was untenableThat a new "us" should be But still I’m shocked and reelingMy anchor weighed and goneA lost and helpless feelingFarewell my comfort zone I...

One day you'll tell me softly,Tell me the rest of your dreams.What kind of world is waitingAt the end of this dark path.Will the voiceless voicesDisappear when your love appears?Laughing when your loveShines upon my wounds,And continues its endless journey.I know of the headway,Yet I still have a reasonTo keep on going,As I embrace you in my arms.When I let you go,Something startsWhen I'm alone.We'll do it our wayWhen the...

Chapter 10Thomas took Luke's hand awkwardly and shook. "Hi," he managed to say"We were going to go to the dance but decided against it, we didn't feel like dressing up. So we stayed in and put on some Netflix. How was the dance?""It was..." He was having trouble finding words. He felt sick; he needed to get out of there fast. "I-I uhh. Tell you later. Gotta get home, curfew, dad, kill me." He turned briskly walked away af...

Chapter 9The school was filled with green all over on Saint Patricks day. Students either with green clothes, green hair, or green anything really, wandered around the halls in festivity. No one was more festive than the twins Caleb and Liam, as Thomas learned the hard way when he forgot to wear green that day. They wore ceremonial kilts and had their faces painted green and carried, what looked like some cheap Toy's R us...

How often do you run into a stranger, Till he ceases to become one altogether? They say name's are essential, But does it hold what’s really vital? If you know someone’s name but not their thoughts, Nor their wishes and the battles they fought. Should you say he’s a friend, When you never connected till the end? If you know his wishes and dreams, And all there is to know it seems; But you never knew his name, Is he a stra...

Chapter 8Thomas was the first person to arrive at the North Plaza Cinemas. He didn't know what movie they were going to watch, but it was Friday evening, and it got him out of the house. He went off the side to practice tricks on his board while waiting. Eventually, Miranda walked up to the entrance and stood around waiting.He rolled over to her, and she greeted him with a smile. "Where's the others?" He asked.She shrugge...

I have always felt that we’ve already met. Perhaps in a past life, or maybe a few. Remember the night we met? Chasing that rabbit, just me and you? And the nights we found the wormhole, but we were too afraid to really let go? I know what I know and am blessed to have another mate for my soul. I love holding your hand on our midnight stroll. And those days when we feel that life has taken its toll, and everything has spun...

Chapter 7Thomas dragged himself home for the long walk after the psychotic little girl, and the mysterious hood figure vanished. Each step was getting more painful than the last the further he went, but he was almost home, for that he was grateful. Why the hell did she have to hit my legs too? He thought to himself. Why the hell did she attack me for that matter? Once home he warmed up in the shower then crawled into bed...

Chapter 6The girls seemed to fight all the way through October. Thomas never figured out why but they made up at Halloween. Guess Miranda was right, girls just fight. Between classes, Thomas was heading to the vending machines until Kellen showed up and pulled him into a nearby empty classroom. He ducked low and told Thomas to do the same. "What's going on?" Thomas whispered as he ducked down. "Caleb and Liam are coming t...
