Poem 5, "You're Loud."

You're Loud

Although I don't live right by you, I still hear you.
Darn siren, you're loud!

Poem 4, "Untitled"

Untitled

It's all over the place in Hazlett 37.
The floors, chairs, sofas, tables, cabinets...
Wood.

Poem 3, "Green Things"

Green Things

Round.
Not so solid.
Sometimes wet,
Sometimes dry.
Perhaps cold,
Or warm.
Not known to be bitter,
But always sweet.
I just finished them up,
Mmmmmmm... grapes.

Poem 2, "Aquafina"

Aquafina

Sittin' here drinkin' bottles of water that can't quench my thirst.
Dehydrated, my tongue is so dry it's starting to hurt.
Hold up, did I spend my time with You today?
Talk with you, walk with you besides getting on my knees to pray.
This water is living but not Living Water.
It's not the type you use with clay, Potter.
Not Harry...
Back to the poem that's turning heads like Tina.
No one can satisfy my thirst like You, God, the real Aquafina.

Poem 1-ish, "Vibe"

Vibe

This thing that attracts me to you...
Like a magnet, it pulls us together.
Bet cha' never knew these feelings,
Lingering around like little human beings.
It's something I like about you.
Maybe it's the way you play,
Or the way you smile.
I've been wanting to say something for a while.
But I want you to say it first.
Ahhh, I love the way you---OHHH, can't go that far now!
I wasn't thinking anything nasty because that's not my nature, but wow!
But it doesn't bug me when you're around.
You make me laugh, smile, feel good when I'm down.
Just do me this favor;
"Say ya really love  me, baby. Say ya really love me darlin'..."
Why? That's the vibe I feel, it's cool.
Just know that "Alllll this love is waiting for you."
