Untitled (*Found Poem by Maddie)

*A Found Poem is a poem using only words that the writer has found, whether it's in books, articles, billboards, signs, etc.
This is a Found Poem using only the titles of books on my shelf:

Where the perfect sidewalk ends
you crash
into me
and a love, ruined,
haunted me,
haunts you.

Smiles
flipped,
you and me,
reinvented.
Lost in the
delirium
of questions
and a pretty
little kiss.

Eternal love
and a secret world
lost forever
in the mist.

At Sunset (Free-Verse by Maddie)

Relaxing on the edge
of heightened Port Aransas
boardwalks,
your sepia splashed eyes
smile under
bronze shafts of luminosity.

As we admire the unbroken line
surrounding us
with its faded pink mist
set ablaze an orange glow,
soft, affable waves
gently moisten
our feet
that sway at sea level
and our fingers splayed
upon jagged wood,
only an inch apart.

Vapor swims across hemispheres
as narrow spaces
between
sink away,
like the sun gradually slipping
beneath violet entwined
horizons.

Dreaming Amongst the Sun (Free- Verse by Maddie)

Laying upon
the center
of a cold, wooden floor,
lost in random patterns
of light,
I listlessly
stare 
at surrounding gray walls
as shafts of broken radiance
emerge
from sun- stained
glass,
scintillating
across 
white desk,
rebounding
from a water- spotted
mirror.
Flickering light
dances as 
each forgotten 
hour blurs past.
