The deep blue sky whispering down at me,
LaLuna the boat reads, crossing the sea
not a single sound, or a ripple in the water
A gift in her hand and a smile so sweet
Her joy brightens the stars like gold,

Back and forth, back and forth
the sound of arguing, the light goes dark
a moment of silence and the awkwardness
movements of music, the moon rises
with the anchor in the wishful child's hand

The ladder goes up so high, as high as the birds fly, Every step, closer to above
the shaking legs as the child get closer
the world turned upside down
by a flip, everything is lit up in gold

A thousand stars around, each lit up
shouting below, anchor in the pot of gold
a shooting star hitting as fast as light
Back and forth, back and forth
the sound of arguing, lights come forward
Boom! the light crashes!

The concept of love.

Lava’s dream had been completed.

No longer buried into the ocean’s floor.

His days were now a perfect match.

He looked back upon…

Couples who had presented themselves in the distance.

He never lost hope even while he moped.

Isolated beauty filled the tropical island.

So close yet so far away.

Unreachable love.

Music filled the air.

It was extreme.

She sang to him.

He sang to her.

He bet she was always there, but where?

They just hadn’t met each other, yet.

It felt as if he was missing a part of himself.

His other half never filled, but always nearby.

He grew tired of endless waiting.

He stood in despair until one day…

Swish, swoosh, splash!

Out of the blue, she came through.

His soulmate singer, safe place.

Two ocean volcanoes made for eachother.

In singing their song, they rose above everything in their way.

They beamed.

Small bunny confined in a cage
Fur white as white roses blossoming in the spring time
Eyes as blue as the sky during a perfect summer day
Stomach growling, sounding like water flowing rapidly through the pipes
Sits locked in the cage hoping to get the delicious food item that it is craving.
The carrot; orange as the leaves that you see mid-October sits on the stand
The magician walks in preparing for the act and lets you out of the cage
You feel like you have been sitting in there for centuries
Free at last! Snack time!
No, the magician continues to prepare for the act and steers you away from your mouth watering treat.
You act rebellious in spite of not getting the treat, playing all sorts of tricks
You come to a realization that the magician needs you to be compliant during the act
At last
The mouth watering treat is now in your belly

A happily ever after is all they wanted

So eventually they got it.

Love,

Love is all they felt.

Love,

Love is all they need.

Love,

Love is all they had.

Living together in peace and harmony.

With strength like a raging bear,

And as elegant as a swan in the moonlight.

Nothing came in between them.

Dancing as if it was their last.

Singing as if air no longer existed.

They were in love.

Too, in love.

It caused some problems.

Things erupted.

BOOM!

A burst of steamy lava.

His anger matched no man.

His rage ran across the water.

Sounds of bombs seemed to explode.

There was never a right answer to him.

He felt unstoppable,

He felt powerful,

He felt jealous.

But did she like it?

She felt quiet,

She felt weak,

She felt useless.

She didn't know what to do in situations like this,

Except close her eyes.

Didn't she have love?

Love,

Love is all they felt.

Love,

Love is all they need.

Love,

Love is all they had.

She knew it was her time to go.

Fading away into blue,

She sank deeply down ever so slightly.

Away from anyone,

Away from anything.

She just wanted to be alone.

Sitting alone on the ocean floor.

Starting off into vast places .

Dreaming of one thing only,

Love.

The jagged rocks flow through the air like daggers laced with the most toxic of poisons. Adverted eyes avoid the abyss of spewing lava for fear of being burned.

Those in the path of destruction, they are the unluckiest of victims. Monosyllabic stones of hopelessness find their way to the scarred skin, bloodying the bloodied, breaking the broken.

The volcanoes are worthy of repugnant titles, sharp like their tongues or decaying like their souls. The victims should run, should cry, should lash out against the lava, protect themselves.

But everyone says that if you choose to live at the bottom of a volcanic body, you are already dead. The lava will only harden you, despite attempts to remain cool in your passivity.

Lava burns, and no amount of composure or preparation can protect you from the overwhelming presence of hatred and intolerance; the hating fire fueled only by oxygen. Lava is amazing

I wish there was a volcano in Wisconsin that I could see

Stubborn young bunny

Reaching for the carrot

It feels lightyears away

But it's just too far to grab it

Fur as white as snow

Eyes as blue as the ocean

Reaching as far as you can

The magician lets you out of the cage

Wants you to do a trick

But your too distracted to engage

You are so stubborn

You refuse

Until you are given what you long for

The things he does to you are cruel

He tries to make you do the trick

But you swiftly make him look like a fool

He becomes filled with anger

But your trickery goes too far

And puts him in serious danger

Suddenly you are not as stubborn as before

Boing

You spring into action

You save him

And earn what you long for

Splash

You see the vast ocean

With the smell of the salty air

You’re with your grandfather and father

rowing and rowing

Onto the sea,

where the moon shines as bright as the sun

As you climb upon the moon, covered in stars head to toe

You see a large star crashing

Onto the moon as if it was a meteor

In shock from the huge star

you climb on the star

And with a single strike

it comes down

Your grandfather and father are in awe

as they witnittness a beautiful scene

Turing the full moon into a crescent

It started out with making dumplings, till she realized one was alive.

Then once she brought it into her life as her son she became deprived.

He was once sweet, and ready to eat, but later he turned alive.

As the days went on he met a girl but it got to much for me after he tried going out with her.

So I did what I could and picked him up and ate him, witch i was horrified and crying with no one to hold me...

Tomorrow morning he was there my son finally home...

A mother’s love

so sweet and precious

unconditional and as rich as gold

The sound of a baby’s cry

saddens her heart as she reaches out to her child

reassurance will bring happiness

but little does she know that her child will soon grow into an adult

only to leave her behind and make a life of his own

a life he has dreamt of

but will break her heart as she will be alone

loneliness will fill her eyes with tears

a mixture of emotions running through her mind

tears racing relentlessly running down her restless face

as she begs for him to stay

love is a battlefield

a battle that only a mother would understand

her heart beats for him because she loves him more than life itself

she showers her son with blessings as he leaves

boom boom, her heart pounds as loud as a drum

the everlasting power of love between a mother and her child

is as strong as steel and as firm as a rock

No matter the distance

the smell of dumplings will always lead him back home

forever and always

Oh, can’t you see how I love you,

I’ve seen you grow,

and I’ve seen you flourished.

Worried that you’ll be surrounded by the wrong crowd,

Protecting you so I could witness you sprout,

I just wanted to make you proud,

Of the mother I would be throughout everyone’s doubts.

You might think that you know it all,

But a mother knows her son better than anyone,

I gave you life,

for you to be my light.

Hearing your thumping footsteps walk towards the front door,

Your music blaring loud,

and your friends laughing about,

I just hope you don’t start to lose yourself.

Now go on,

Fly freely like a bird,

I hope you can take my word,

For I have heard,

A mother’s love for son will always be worth.

Your mind wanders far into space

Your curiosity is as big as the oh gorgeous moon

That your eyes lay upon

as it shines with grace

One late night in June

Your father gives you the honor to go first

Climbing up the ladder

to find yourself in awe

At those glistening golden gems that glitter the gracious giant

Your eyes light up just like

the morning of December 25

Your father and grandfather join you

and take out their broomsticks

to clean the moon out of dust and debris

As you listen to the

Clink and Clunk

of the stars colliding

Realizing how all of this was

One look away

Oh La Luna

Je t’aime

I’m warm almost too warm                          Like the blistering of the sun

I sit there grinning miles wide but u never see

You deem me as unsafe and harmful

But why, what did I ever do to you

Bottoms of volcanoes are where I live mostly

But u may see me burst out the top

watch me dance across the sky

like the sun, exploding in a beautiful mess

You run at the sight of me

Some bask in the heat

others won’t come near me

I just wanna show you my beauty

Tick Tock as the time flies by

I wait nonetheless patiently

but you never give me a chance

no man is an island

so why do u treat me like a deserted one

The light of my fire is a sight

I just wanna be appreciated

for the glowing beauty, I represent

So why do u put up such a fight

Lava

Oh’ great volcano

Oh how you just want to be lavaed

Your arms reach out

Your voice calling out

But no answer

Your cries not heard

You just want someone to Lava

Your lava turning into stone

You keep sinking, singing, sitting all alone

But no one answers

He sings and sings and sings

No one there to answer

Lava turning into stone

His voice cracking, shaking, dying

He gives in to the feeling of loneliness

Then another volcano erupts full of lava

She heard him sing and sing but could not see her

He cried for he could not sing

His tears filled the sea as clouds filled the sky

He sank and sank for he was too weak to rise up and be lavaed

She sang out how a wolf howls when seperated from his pack

She sang his song with the power of the heavens

After hearing her sing his song

He rose up full of lava to meet his lover

They sang their songs of joy and lava

Together at last they sang their song of hope and lava

Little star

You little star

Floating over the gloomy sea

Wish they could see

The chance more far

Taking everything out

You act like an hero

Saving the sky

From its own turbulence

As a superhero

Eluding catastrophe

Saving your pairs

Buried in a sea of stars

The luminosity of the stars

Drilling your eyes

The smell, the dust

Nothing can stop you

No one can stop you from being yourself

The help you need come

Helping yourself to get back

On the old track

Talking to you

Showing you the right way

Taking everything out

You act like an hero

Saving the sky

From its own turbulence

As a superhero

Eluding catastrophe

Saving your pairs

You achieve your goal

With no carrot, I will not do magic

I will make the show quite tragic

White in the face

but I’ll be gone without a trace

the ravenous rabbit ruined the show

with raggedy riddles behind his robe

rushing the resilient magician to remove the rabbit

with fur as white as a fresh snowfall

and a tail as fluffy as vanilla cake

his personality glistened over the stage

boing boing as the rabbit hops across the stage

zap zap zap-the rabbit stuck the magicians hand in an outlet

whoosh as the rabbit appears out of his hat

this rabbit is killing me

his pranks are going to be the death of me

there is a million things he could have done and he chose to mess up the performance

the rabbit danced across the stage

the hairs of everyones’ arms stood after the show

the picture of everyone clapping really said a lot

the luscious white rabbit zoomed across the stage with his little feet

whimpering for the magician to give him a carrot

the crowd went wild as the rabbit creeped out of the black top hat

his studious plan had worked after all

Sometimes life is sad and gloomy

But making dumplings is fun and groovy

It all started in the beginning of this short movie

Like a mother is to a child…

Was the life of bao

As young and precious as a newborn

He started as food

but slowly became more

He became a child to a loving family

And as he aged

All that changed was him aim towards life

Alternative to an apple he is now an adolescent kid.

He must now be like his peers

go out with friends

And make new relationships

Although he is loved dearly

he seeks for someone new

Until one day he finds his soulmate

He is finally all grown

and time to move on from home

but his mother won't say goodbye

Like all must do in life

he eventually says goodbye

As his life ends

with new life to come to replace the sadness

Bao…

Sweetness of sound

Singing of songs

It skips on small legs

So tweet goes the bird

You’re small and frail

Even befriended a snail

Unknowing of the world

Afraid so you curl

You have a long way to grow

Avoiding the waves

Watch your mother go

You are the sun

But you’ll never know

The air serving sea salt

The slap from the waves

The kiss from the sun

The growth of the world

So tweet like a bird

You are a song

And you already know

You have a ways to go

Lava

The warm sun beaming upon a volcano
He stands alone with grace
But without someone to hold
As the tired sun fell and gave way to the awaken moon
He sings and sings a sad, scared song
wishing his love be there soon

He sings and sings but his song brings no love
No joy
nor peace
His lava now a dying rock he falls into despair
With no one to love he think no one cares
He sings one last time
His now beautiful voice now
QUIVERING...
FALTERING...
CRACKING...
He gives into his loneliness and despair

…

Until below the glass sea he hears an angelic voice calling
wanting to rise and greet him
A voice which was the setting sun
A voice with the power of angels
another volcano who is alone
She rushes to the surface with desperation
exploding to the surface to meet her lover
BANG!
She now looks for the voice she has been hearing for generations
She looks around but sees no one who could have been making the sounds

The other volcano
wanting to be loved and accepted
was to weak to rise as he was close to dying
He cried as he could no longer sing
His tears filled the sea as stars fill the sky
Still hearing the ever angelic voice calling him as he sank into the ocean
and his despair

BOOM!
Another explosion sends the weak volcano into his lovers embrace
The smile on his face takes away the loneliness

The two volcanoes now sing together
Not a song of loneliness
Or a song of sadness
But a song of togetherness
A happy song

Here stands two volcanoes
Here lives two lovers
Never apart and together forever

Presto

My stomach is in suffering

in self-restraint from the snack

staying just out of reach from me

The carrot

I can just feel the crunch it will make

between my two teeth

It is as orange as a bright paint

used to paint a pretty sunset

In comes my partner

I think I would have died of hunger

if i was in this cage any longer

But…

He does not give me it

my holy grail of snacks

So I decide to enact some evil

during his act

I decide to trick him

breaking the two of us pact

In the end though

I realize

He relies on me more than himself

so I once again save him

the audience applauds

And finally

I get that sweet treasure I desire

my hunger has expired
