LRAE Poetry

like smiling into  the sunlight or reading  while it rains fogging up the windows and getting frostbite wondering about  the fingerprint stains the windows  are fogging up I can feel the  cold coming, but I have hope that  the sun will rise  back up in  the morning  - Leah Rae

coming up the  steep road tsunami waves  tremble down going closer  towards it, I can’t turn  back around if that was the last  moment I’ve seen,   I remember the sky  was split in halves and that’d be  what my  final  memory is going down as one side was indigo  with a bright full moon the other is the sun shining  with faded orange maroon and the waves  were falling  over  each other,   a cool breeze during the night of a hot summer inside the ocean  of living creatures,  with some  we’d  never know, like prehistoric animals  that lived long ago I made it out by  putting  up walls  around my soul because if I didn’t,  the  water would’ve  swallowed  me whole - Leah Rae

I’m swallowing  the dagger my talking is  s ounding like blabber here it comes,  the anxious teeth chatter it’s about a hundred  degrees and my body  feels like I dipped  into a river it’s not so cold,  but I start to shiver then here is comes,  the nervous laughter,  until finally I get comfortable  and tell you the  hopes I have for  my future of   what I’m going after - Leah Rae

every night I  dreamt of Blue and the idea behind it  was  that I went looking for you. searching for a thought,  a person, a place, all I had was one clue,  and I  realized it was  nothing I had  to chase we met together, the  same moment and time clear streets, a second  of  peace, and the glow  of the  moonlight Was blue the color  of  his  energy or the color of his soul? never met anyone like  him before, he’s the one  who broke  the mold helped me find my  heights and face my fears he guided a safe ride  and brought me here - Leah Rae
