Land so Far Away

Where is this land so far away?

A place to get away

A place to take my hand,

And say were more than “Just Friends”

In this land so far away

Our scrapes, bruises, and scars will be healed

Our problems solved,

And we will live as one

In this land so far away,

We will continue to love each other

We can love like no other,

And we can be what we want us to be

Where is this land so far away?

Together, we must find out,

So come, take my hand,

And do more than just be friends

Her eyes....

Her eyes

Brown and beautiful

My hearts on a thrill ride

Her face

So sweet

It’s getting my attention

Her skill

So far from mine

But it still giving me chills

Her smile

Taking me away

My heart beguile

Her voice

Beautiful and clean

Pleasure for my ears to hear

Do I know her?

I’ve known her this whole time

I Want to Write (On This Cold Night)

I want to write,

Maybe a poem?

It doesn’t sound right,

So I just wont show them

On this cold night,

I can’t sleep

Because I want to write,

So I tried writing a poem

Going to sleep is a fight,

Laying here in this cold bed

But dreaming is a flight,

When I’m asleep

I’m wide-awake

Nothing comes to mind

Because I want to write,

I just wrote you this poem!

Zack's Adventure at the Mall

I went to the mall and did not shop

Walking and walking all night long

It wasn’t fun and I had to stop

All around me people were shopping

Tall ones and short ones

Boys and girls

Every where I go, shoppers

Shopping for things like clothes

Clothes and shoes

Or something new

Shopping for you or me

I went to the mall and did not shop

Walking along, there’s nothing new

Nothing for you or me

There’s not a thing in sight that I want to see

I went to the mall and did not shop

I see the people in the empty mall,

Happily buying things

And looking down that long hall,

I wonder, why am I at the mall?
