Illusionist


Illusionist

He took a quarter from behind your ear.

Made a box disappear.

Made water from a cage of pigeons.

I got everything I wanted and more.

I got to see everything.

What was most amazing was the melodic menagerie.

The harmony of the symphony.

Climactic elements swinging through the air.

 Elements melding, things disappearing in midair.

I think that I will never see anything as amazing as I did that night.

And then from that box that disappeared.

Appeared a smaller box.

Then he asked her to hold out her hand.

Placed the box in her hand, covered it.

Pulled the handkerchief away and on her finger was a ring.

A ring that shined like the stars.

Her eyes shimmered like the light off the ring.

I got down on one knee and asked her to share my soul.

The rest was pure magic.

Almost like a fairytale.

Never ending and never beginning.
I watch Penn and Teller's magic show on the CW. Well if I had a magician friend this is how I would propose. It would be awesome! This trick would be legen- wait for it- dary! I think if I could pull this off it would blow my mind like smoke and mirrors kind of craziness.
I sometimes think about how I'd propose to the One and this is one of my top favorite ideas.

The Only Time Consitancy Sucks

  I'm constantly reminded every morning that I have a disease. I take a few little pills that make life relatively easier. Today isn't one of those days. I'm super frustrated, sad, and have a crazy headache. It's not that I enjoy talking about the reality of what goes on in my brain, this is new the talking about it, within the past couple of years. It's like tons of information got held back and for a while, I just talked and talked. I've gone through a lot and I'm really proud of myself for working hard and getting back into school last spring. I'm proud of how hard I work at simple life tasks that people take for granted. I'm proud of how hard I work just at a job and what I hope is seen by employers as my integrity. I'm really proud of being able to coach kids in flag football and how much I really enjoy it. Life is much better than it was even 2 years ago to a year ago. I keep moving forward and marching towards a brighter future. A lot of ...

Where We Stand

  High on a scaffold, strapped with a harness and a torch. My shoulder slouches as I light the torch. The torch pops and hisses as it lights. I’m tired, I wake up and think this is a bad dream. To leave all I knew behind to be bound and oppressed. To be broken by the system I was entrusted to. The arc burns blue, as I weld the piping across the concourse. No one cares about us, as it grows more evident. No one knows the pain, I’m in as I pass out from the pain at the end of my day. Not even my partner, I hide my feelings till, I’m about to break. It’s a way of life up here in ole Boston. The struggle is to hold my eyes open and stay awake. No one knows that I’m broken inside. No one knows that my hurt runs deeper than my shoulder. In this place there’s no room for me, it’s a gig for the boys. This isn’t my swan song or a happy jig. I’d rather take a swig, Walk away from it all and be at peace again. This road is hard and is made unbearable by the...

To Whom the Bell Tolls

 Hi, my name is Joshua Harke and I’m from Syracuse, NY. I’ve lived in Charlotte since I was 13 years old. In the summer of 1994, we moved to Charlotte, NC. It was a huge culture shock and life change for a new teenager. I went to a few different schools here; I went to Randolph Middle School for 7 th grade and I was bullied there so my parents moved me the next school year to Bible Baptist Christian Academy in Matthews. I liked it there and played soccer in middle school. I also attended church there with my family. I transferred schools after my junior year to United Faith Christian Academy. I loved it there and grew into a great high school athlete. I played in the praise band and played soccer, baseball was even the mascot, and outside of school, I played ice hockey on a local team and for the Junior, Checkers travel team. I made Who’s Who Among Highschool Americans my senior year. I also couldn’t decide what I wanted to be as an adult and that’s fine. I had an internship in a ...
