Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Music: 13 of 170

Long and slender fingers are spread across the keys, gently, firmly playing a soulful melody. Weaving notes together, a song somehow is made. And words are floating in the air as the hands create a universal tune to last a thousand years; through the laughs and smiles, as well as all the tears.
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Pain: 4 of 48

You catch your breath. You grit your teeth. Push back the tears. Oh, they'll come. Later - in solitude - they'll come. But for now, all you can do...is pretend. You pretend so hard, so well, that you fool everyone but yourself. And you wish that you could fool yourself. Because that would be so much better, easier. You find ...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Relationships: 10 of 87

April stood alone outside the door, in the cold night air, with the words EMERGENCY ROOM gleaming above. A shadow appeared next to hers, and a voice she recognized accompanied it. "You ok?" Ryan was whispering, as if she was delicate and prone to breaking when people talked too loudly. April realized for the first time how p...
Relationships & Family > First Dates How to impress a girl: 8 of 54

Do you often despair about how to get this girl or that to notice you? Do you find yourself wondering why she only pays attention to that one guy you happen to hate? Well, maybe this is what you need: a guide to capturing a girl's heart. I know out of experience (I happen to be a girl myself!) that at least some girls - if n...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inner struggles: 92 of 498

Your heart starts to beat like it has never before when you see that he's coming straight towards you. Last minute hair-check, and a deep breath of air- he's here now. With a smile and a hug that you savor. He doesn't know, he'd never guess how much you love to hear that voice. And it doesn't matter, it's really ok, that he'...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Rain: 51 of 226

Stillness in the air; an eerie silence before the storm. The clouds above darken, threaten to burst with every groan of thunder heard. Shadows move across the grass and the people in their homes remain uncaring still, unknowing of the tension until breaks. Finally the rain comes, falling to the world below with astonishing f...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Enlightenment: 61 of 188

The Rumor of a Rainbow I saw a rumor of a rainbow, heard a whisper in the wind, felt the glory of the stars as it came to me within. I listened to the past, the echo of lost time. It burned inside me deeply, deep inside my mind. It happened in one moment: I understood the world! But in a flash it was gone- the flag no more u...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: A kiss: 4 of 12

As I made my way slowly through the crowd, I wondered to myself why I'd even come. Ryan had invited me but he'd be playing with his band for most of the night. It wasn't like I ever hung out with or even just talked to any of these people. Sure, I knew a lot of them from school and through my brother, but they weren't my cro...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Longing: 135 of 397

As he walked towards her, a smile gave him away. He was confident and cool, and he knew what she'd say. Yes, she blessed the night and the stars, they shone so bright when he took her hand and led her to the dance floor, that magical land. It lasted just one song, but he held her close and just how high she soared, only heav...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Walking: 12 of 32

I want to walk, to just keep walking forever. Slip off my shoes, feel the ground beneath my feet. Because sometimes it's better to face what's real. Step in time to the music, and see where it takes me. I'm tired of waiting for something that's nothing at all. Close my eyes, follow the road. Hot pavement on bare skin... it's...
