School had finally let out for the Christmas break. Bruce's plans on sleeping in on that first Monday were derailed as he had promised Amber that he would show up for breakfast. He was not that upset about losing out on some sleep as it would give them some time alone. Amber woke Monday morning as though she was going to school. This would allow her time to shower and do her makeup as she not allow Bruce to see her as she...

I am I am a child That cries at night I am a woman With feelings so deep I have dreams Both day and night I love with a passion With my heart and soul I share the good times Along with the bad My friends are my family My baby my life Please accept me the way I am For I do not lie You are part of my world now And into my life

It was the day after Thanksgiving. Marcia wore her new dress the day before in her classes. For her and the school Thanksgiving was just another day, nothing special. She got several comments on her appearance. As she sat at lunch, a somber Hans approached her. "Excuse me, Cricket. The headmaster requests your appearance in his office, when you finish lunch." Hans said with somber sadness. "I will be there shortly, Hans,...

I could smell the peculiar saltiness of the sea and the waves were audible to me. My eyes fluttered open to the bright blue sky and I had to shut them back quickly due to the scorching sunlight. After a few seconds, I managed to open them again and sat up. While I was feeling the sand beneath me, my eyes adjusted to the surroundings. I was on a seashore, which was unfamiliar to me. Clear water, waves splashing, big brown...

Does he know She loves him so He is her everything His smile lights up her world His eyes make her dream His hands make her crave his touch And his arms make her long to be held Does he know She loves to hear his words His laughter To watch him move Just to be near him Yes His heart knows They are one He is her destiny He is her soul mate He is her love Always have been Always will be

It is said that still waters run deep.A curious mind does never sleep. Probing the depth's even in slumber.Dreams from the past do encumber. Some try to put one's soul under.Some steal our mind and plunder. Bring us back in a cold sweat.Sent bolting upright with fret. Semi conscious, trying to ponder.What the hell was that we wonder? Searching the depths of our dream.Asking one's self, did I really scream? Wakening myself...

(For Lady Jane) “Dear (Jane)…”, to my horror were the first words I read. It was the line that hit hardest, my heart it did dread. “I love you so much”, it went on to lie, The hurt magnified, I wished I would die. On I read, while the room spun around, My tears in a tissue, dropped onto the ground. “But I met someone else, we hit it off well.” The words there in ink had broken his spell. His mask fell away to reveal the b...

As I get on the bus and find myself a seat, I am so very tired and know that it will be a long ride to my house. Praying that I could have the car fixed and not ride the bus for the 100th time. I sit and wait to get the long ride over with. My eyes spot two twin girls and their mom. These girls are full of energy. Both are talking non stop and I hope they are the kind that are not much trouble on public transportation, Th...

He's struggling hard to get outsideHe really does not want to hideBut something keeps him out of sightBehind a concrete wall He's always trying to expressAnd looks for words without successEach time he tries it's just a messThat makes no sense at all He looks for holes he can go throughHe's desperate to speak to youYet caught inside without a clueHe wants to run amok I wish that I could set him freeTo write for all the wo...

The dark and endless night of my soul stretches out before me. Empty hallways echo with silent intentfor the loss of my dreams. Jousting with my dreadful doubt againis my fragile feverish fear. Questions bounce from side to side nowon the walls of my mind. Songs dwindle and die with a whimperas notes are brushed away. My thoughts are tentative and credulouswhen pondering your acts. Lift me up once more my heart to soarin...

Jack was nimble, Jack was quick, Jack O’lantern was looking quite slick. With a pumpkin head lit by candle light, He’s the coolest dude on Halloween night.

There were others guests there, like Wolfman Jack. He held in his hands a candy filled sack. Alice Coop...

The crash looked quite strange, at least at first sight. Straight, deserted road, nice weather, but the little Toyota somehow had managed to ram into a roadside tree. Maybe someone had pushed the car out of the way, and then ran away. That seemed logical. Or the driver was drunk? The hearse’s chauffeur pulled out to the right, stopped and got out. It’s obvious that the accident had happened minutes ago and it was his “hon...

“You ever hear of a man named Vladimir Dracula?” The creature asked, his eyes boring into those of the skinny scientists; watching to see what his reaction would be. Victor was pretty naive to be sure, not having any friends and all, but even he knew of Count Dracula. “The Vampire” he stammered, while jumping out of his chair and looking towards the door; his intent, to make a run for it. “Relax!” The monster chuckled kno...

The wood-spoked wheels of the old Crow-Elkhart began sinking in the soft mud along the shoulder of Route 9W almost as soon as I stopped the car. I had just pulled off the macadam in a panic, at the sharp command of my father. Aunt Alma protested that she was alright, but she was looking rather pale, from what little I could see of her. A towering stack of luggage, all her worldly possessions, filled most of the back-seat,...

I woke and looked over at the wounded wolf and huffed - she was still alive. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep at the far wall of the cave; I must have been pacing and sat down for a minute and that was when I fell asleep. I walked over to her and she seemed somewhat happy to see me. She raised her head and whimpered. I cocked my head and touched my nose to hers, she then laid back down and slept once again. I snorted,...
