This is a project with Urban Impact to bring together youth from south Seattle to make creativity come to life.
The aim is to open up a dialogue about life, a platform of self expression and a forum for foolishness through art, poetry, music and whatever else our creative juices lead us into.

We hold a monthly Open Mic at Empire Coffee House - check the posts below for what's coming up.

[The words escape me] by ~no~


The words escape me,
I try to speak but your demeanor it leaves me weak,
And in your eyes I can see the place my heart longs to be.
It’s hard to say, yet easy to feel,
This love it grows expanding fields.
And when you look into my eyes,
My Isis soul it flies and flies,
Close to the sun of your appeal my heart if falls back to the field.
I find no rest, my heart it heals.
My mind is smart, it tries to yield.
But I forget, my wings return,
And for your love I yearn, I pine, I burn.
