The Southern California Collegiate Invitational Poetry Slam aka “The SoCal Invitational” is an opportunity for collegiate poets to form teams and fellowship with their regional counterparts in a competitive atmosphere.

“Insecurity is when you turn up the volume on all the wrong voices.

Truth is everything you tell yourself when you realize you are the only one still listening.

Self is whoever you become when the door is locked.”

"I can’t describe the sound of her voice
The music in her lungs
Or the rose pedals in her walk

But I..."

I can’t describe the sound of her voice

The music in her lungs

Or the rose pedals in her walk



But I imagine that her words

Are like fig leaves

That dance to the sound of opinions that refuse to be silenced

The conviction in her sentences

Can make an ocean question beauty of its own waves

I bet the stars spend hours in the mirror

Getting pretty

Putting on extra sparkle

Hoping that she will notice them in the moonlight

I imagine the morning gets jealous whenever she wakes up at noon

I bet the knees of twilight buckle whenever she compliments a sunset

I bet the streetlights shine a little bit

Simply because she is standing underneath them

I bet the sidewalk plays a symphony

Just to make sure that her feet have something to listen to in between steps



I can’t describe the sound of her voice

The music in her hugs

Or the rose pedals in her walk

But I know

I know that she is more than just another piece of land waiting to be claimed





She is an acoustic guitar

Waiting patiently for the hands that have been trained to hold her properly

She is a wind chime inside of a culdesac



And her skin is a melody

That very few men will have the pleasure of hearing



- my favorite. by Rudy Francisco (via maktubian)
