Many words left unsaid
How I wished to have had the courage to say
Choosing between the “right way”
The “best way”
Only lead to knots in my throat
So I’ll scream it out loud
Now that I am no longer heard
Basking in the beyond or in the middle
Peering up or down
I proclaim with vigor in my veins
You were the ever in everything
And with baited breath I professed
SILENCE
This silence wells my eyes
Inside the screaming
Never subsides
I wish to explain it all away
This, to be that, and so on
But birthing a thing
Gives light to its adverse
Oh… what shall I do
When my chest hurts in naivety
These bones cry with realities
As I stand painted smiles on the outside
The foundation crumbles
The fables no longer holding weight
The safety of childish years
Eradicates my joy
We push, and toil onwards
To where? Destinations darkness
I try desperately to remember before this time
To no avail
And once there, will I recall here?
In this I shall also fail … I presume
But, what if I want out of this enclosure ?
A break in its wall
Watch it all fall
Would it bring me the wonder of it all?
Ah… so many questions
As the one who holds the answers
Lays dormant and watches
As the silence and I become one in the same
Not sure what’s forgiveness
The moth attracted to light
Or streams to quench my soul
Holding on to final breaths
Scared, of the inevitable
Tingling on finger tips
I recall your eyes
Lord, are we worthy ?
Scrambling for a spot like butterflies
Tired of the fight
But know nothing more
Let me have a glimpse
Just stay, if you’re sure
That salvation is found
In the flickering down the hall
Loved Me
I won’t apologize
Being the thief of a heart
Like leaves
Changing color in the winters
I was only reaching
Into something
I didn’t understand
But I wanted
What was you
Inside though
I always knew
You’d never be mine
And I’m forever guilty
Of this crime
In your mind
So with lifetimes apart
You’ll always hate me
For loving me
And I won’t apologize
Crossroads
I flirt with the end
Balance beam everything
So I can feel Grace
It’s shame and blessing
Of exclusivity and at once excluding
A Child of crossroads
Playing hide and seek
This way or that
Loving and despising
The tightrope
Choking what is left and right
Closing my eyes
To recall the thrill
Of it all
The ease of which I bring
Sweet Suffering
To my doorstep
And to speak of boundless joy
I only toggle in its surrender

He aprendido a amarte a distancia
donde estoy libre de dolor
Observando con la esperanza de que reconociera mi adoración
Me imagino a nosotros felices siempre
De las pasadas tragedias
Sé que un día yo reuniré el valor de admitir mi amor por ti
Pero por ahora atesoro nuestros encuentros rápidos
Cuando nos besamos Hola y adiós
Cada tiempo orando que me sientas
El calor de mi amor.
Tell me beloved
What is a field of roses
When you are the very garden
From which it breathes ?
All can perceive
That our father
Whispered a secret in your ears;
Golden Words
only you can decipher
Oh where does such magic
Derive from, dearest one?
All would come
If you’d divulge
What you’ve hidden from the world
Tell me beloved
Of this emerald you possess
Tell me
A kaleidoscope of memories
Sprints across my eyes
Realizing all that was
Each and every moment
Living and dying all at once
The essence of right now
Surfaces so clearly
As I remember
What seems to be yesterday
There is nothing to grasp
There is simply
The letting go
Being present
As every second dances away from me
Yet paints a beautiful memory
Let the sky become a canvas
Your breath a song
And create it with blissful ness
As I close my eyes
And I am grateful
Truly honored to be featured on Pridas book club section.
Where would I possibly go
If in this very moment
Your blessing abounds
Whether in the tallest building
Or nestled in my sheets
Swimming in the ocean
Or seated on the shore
There is truly nothing
But your love
Beyond all the scents
And the abundance of colors
That surround me
I kneel before your beauty
And I am home
