The Sea

The Sea 
By Amberly M. Oosthuizen

Her blue-green waters,
Flow around
Looking for a home.
Collecting baggage wherever she goes,

her waves hit the shores,
They're pushed back,
The sand repels her.

She crashes against the rocks
Trying to find a friend,
She is only pushed back
in vain

When it rains,
it cascades down
Adding to her sorrow
yet she doesn't show it.

Children come into her waters
She would jump for joy if she could,

She sees love, joy, happiness
Hoping to one day experience it.
Though she feels she won't

The sea is beautiful
Full of sorrow,
Like me.

The Body Shop

The Body Shop
By Amberly M. Oosthuizen

The TV advertised a sale
50% off
at The Body Shop

We looked with excitement into each other's eyes
and hopped into the Cadillac.

The store was packed but-
We managed
and paid,

Walking out with medium sized legs, 
Feet
and 
Indigo-Violet
eyes.
