In Your Own Words - Poetry, August 2006
Untitled
Slow and swiftly you came to my heart
and then my heart beat like a drum
your honesty as water became a part
of my heart
And slow and swiftly you broke my heart

- Eliset, 18


Untitled
so soft and comforting
peacefully I slept
in his arms, spellbound by
his warmth
tuned in to painful
thoughts of his love
fearing loneliness

forty years pass
and magically
I'm still attached.

- Wilson, 16
