Paper boats

the ones we used to make

the scent of lemons

like the detergent we used to use

and tears,

tears that left my body after you left,

left the world....

I was walking along the beach and found a washed up journal.

“Hey! Look what I found.” I yelled across the beach.

My sister came running and yanked the journal out of my hand.

“What is it?” She replied.

It read, “Captain John”. I said.

“Who’s that” My sister asked.

“I dunno, but let’s open it.” I said.

First entry

Day one:

It is the year 1780, my first voyage. My crew is the best of all the lan...

Peter slowly grabbed Sadie’s hand, placing it towards his heart.

“You know my love is deep for you. I love you.” Said Peter.

Sadie stood still. She was trembling nervously.

“I- um.” Replied Sadie, looking down.

Peter lifted Sadie’s head slowly, looking into her green eyes.

“You’ve never told me that before.” Whispered Sadie softly.

“Do you love me back?” Peter asked.

Sadie still trem...

I fly and I watch,

I am a symbol

A symbol of peace and hope.

I wish others saw me for my beauty,

but all I feel is a symbol

Peace is a beauty

But what is peace without being acknowledged

I am a creature

A pure innocent creature

But all they see me for is a symbol

A symbol of hope and peace

I hope I captivate you, like you captivate me....

My doctor had told me my tumor had gotten progressively worse. And nobody, but my doctor and I knew that I was dying.

I had one wish, and it was for Andrew, the guy on the football team to fall in love with me.

I am a sophomore in college and he’s a senior, making him 2 years my senior.

I decided not to tell my parents that I was dying. I felt as when I die, it will be like a bandage being ri...

(*Not the prompt*)

For my wonderful boyfriend 💗

Your eyes

Your smile

Your hair

The way you bright up my whole world

From the moment I looked into your eyes,

I knew you were the one

The way you look at me

The way I look at you

Nothing can stop us now...

“Get down from there right this second, you headache of a person!” My next door neighbor, Ben called.

“Why?” I gasped

“Oh, do you like me?” I began to blush and smile while giggling innocently.

Ben rolled his eyes.

“Just get off the roof please, I don’t want you to injure yourself.” Ben replied.

“Whatever.” I grabbed my stuff, and just as I was going to take a step, I slipped falling down of...

The night so dark and dim

The silence is what gleams

Darkness is what seems to be the cure for all

Once, children danced in starry skies

Laughter echoing, reaching the sky

But time has shifted, darkness grows

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold; a place so magical now hurt to behold....

Strawberries, sweet and red

Robots, cold steel instead

What two different things

How can two collide?

Just like real life, how can two different people collide?

Strawberries, a tase of sun

Robots, with gears that gleam

I ask again

Yet worlds apart, it seems

An unexpected bond redeems...

I look in the mirror and begin to question. Is that me, or a version of me I never knew before? A version with eyes that holds storms, a mouth that knows curses. I embraced it with welcoming and warm hands.

“Little man.” I asked

He looked puzzled, those stormy eyes staring at mine as if waiting for me to judge him.

No one had embraced this creature because of his devilish looks.

Maybe we should...
