i'm just a high-school senior. nothing special. not an aspiring poet or anything; i've just always loved writing. even though i don't plan on making anything of it, it would be a shame to let my writing skills (be they modest at best) get all rusty while i pursue my one true love: art. i do have my 'paper cup' poem published in an anthology called 'stories of life, ' however. either way, if you want to read some poems other than mine, check out james grengs. thank you to anyone and everyone who reads my poems, and an extraspecial uber-thanks to those who actually rate them. remember: teenagers need voting-lovin' too!

enjoy the air on your bones;

a name is written here
upon my heart.
it burned this melting fiery path
that descended

for the darkness,
i have dedicated hours, destroyed
the minute hand and
banished sense entirely.
...
you are
what i tell you to be. i
and i alone
give you your identity;
