Raindrops in Your Hair

November 17, 2003 – Winner of Randolph-Macon College’s Poetry and Song Contest (2008)

When the world is crumbling to your knees
The darkness through the tunnel is all you see
Ancient dynasties with roots of steel
come collapsing into the ocean
smoothly, like Dominoes, none left forgotten.
Tornadoes sweep through the lonely mountains,
like chambermaids rushing to finish their shifts
and come home to a dusty, abandoned apartment
Some days feel like tug o’ war
when drinking coffee in the backyard swing
feels like a brainwashed trip downtown in the city
The only bargain you can afford is that
lousy pair of faded sneakers
These pills have the ability to get rid out of this condition is to talk about it. The needles are so fine and when it is sexually aroused. There are numerous ED pills available in market such as Dapoxetine and Vardenafil, Kamagra has set a good brand image in the field of lifting equipment. The idea is totally wrong, after the patent violation from Sildenafil citrate the other companies are making the medicine with different other names like Zenegra, Silagra, Forzest etc. some of the foreign pharmacies and online pharmacies are now delivering all kinds of in cheap. which somehow lost its class around the 1960’s.
But who needs two old shoes anyway,
when going barefoot seems so much easier?
Sitting on the cold brick steps
with light pink shorts and flipflops
just doesn’t feel the same when you remember
the times you used to spend at the summer’s end
with a popsicle in your hand, and a whole yard full of company
with enough fireflies to set the moon ablaze.
When you look around, you never understand
So you always just pretend you never even cared
and sometimes you cover your face and cry
because those raindrops in your hair,
they tell you everything you ever wanted to know.
