Ocean Sharks Sea
Eventually she came. she appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. after that, i couldn't think about anything else. the mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. the way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. her eyes, deep as a promise. her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. i nearly went crazy.
Crazy Eye Sunshine
In fact her maturity and blood kinship converted her passion to fever, so it was more affliction than affection. it literally knocked her down at night, and raised her up in the morning, for when she dragged herself off to bed, having spent another day without his presence, her heart beat like a gloved fist against her ribs. and in the morning, long before she was fully awake, she felt a longing so bitter and tight it yanked her out of a sleep swept clean of dreams.
Dream Morning Sleep
She is neither pink nor pale, and she never will be all mine; she learned her hands in a fairy-tale, and her mouth on a valentine. she has more hair than she needs; in the sun ’tis a woe to me! and her voice is a string of colored beads, or steps leading into the sea. she loves me all that she can, and her ways to my ways resign; but she was not made for any man, and she never will be all mine.

Coffee Missing Him Men
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.
