So I was digging through the piles of debris in my room...

While excavating for my math homework, I found an art project from last year. So I'm uploading some of the pictures/poems that went with it.

It was a project about love.

[Didn't like the picture for this one.]

A resilient blossom
It needs little light
It can live by the moon
That one hope of the night

---

[Didn't like my drawing for this one either.]

She gathers her paper, her pen, and her thoughts
Her hand is unsteady, dark ink pools and blots
Onto the pale parchment spill her lonely dreams
Confessing her hopes, each thought it seems
Her pen spins not a novel, or daft mindless prattle
But a tear-soaked plea to her love deep in battle
She had no way to know, as she mailed off her heart
Her love lay, crushed and broken, their love snuffed at the start.

---

[A fairly simple, transparent poem.]

First froze his legs
Though he seemed not to care
He said
I love you more than walks in fresh air
Then left his sight
And he brushed this off too
He said
Long as you love me, I need not see you
Next he lost sound
But in speech unbroken
He said
Though I'll miss your voice, our love need not be spoken
Last was his life
And his love shed a tear
She said
But now I lack my love, that one loss I most fear

---

[May upload the picture for this one later.]

Summers take leave
Winters end
People depart
Both foe and friend
Flowers wilt
But buds will bloom
Love returns
Just as the moon
Love and loss
Live hand in hand
A salty wave
O'er grains of sand

Wash away, bring anew.
