Fire and Ice:

This poet writes with honesty and passion, keep reading!


we used to know each other like

we knew the back of our hands

every line, every flaw, and the

color constantly changing as

the years wore on and the sun

took its toll.

we used to know each other like

we knew the sound of our voices    

every nuance, every inflection, and the

youthful vivacity gradually disappearing as

childhood faded away and stress

took its toll.

we used to know each other like

we knew our appearance in the mirror

every pimple, every flyaway, and the

reflection growing more and more alien as

we lost and found ourselves and life

took its toll.

i guess that’s life

but sometimes i miss the days when

we could stare up at the clouds and

let ourselves float away–when our

appearances didn’t matter

grades didn’t matter

life didn’t matter

but now they do, they do and

we don’t know each other (as well) anymore.
