POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm far from being the best poet, but every poem of mine was written from my heart. They're all precious to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
Infierno
He pasado por una tortura estos últimos 5 años
Mi propio “protector” me dejó en el infierno
Dicen que la religion es para las personas que tienen miedo del infierno
Pero yo tengo espiritualidad porque he pasado por esta tormenta.
No puedo confiar ni en mi propio protector
Esta traición dejó un trauma irreparable en mi alma
No se lo que haré para superarla
Me cuesta continuar con mi vida sabiendo que todo ha cambiado.
“Que hago?” Me pregunto
Tengo un futuro aunque estoy en la mierda?
Hay un lugar para la luz y el...

A Glimmer of Hope
Hope is the grounds of believing something good may happen
Trapped in the eternal darkness, hope was all I had
The day I finally broke free was more than I could ever imagine
Whether by a miracle or not, I was freed by the touch of your hand.
-
My blindness has been cured, and my blood pumps warm
Is this what it feels to be alive?
Sights and smells surround me that I’ve never experienced before
I must surely be dead for this is paradise.

Dawn on Ice
My writer’s block is like the dawn on ice
I can see streams of sunlight peeking through the darkness
Yet the words refuse to form
Will I ever see the light of day?
Will I ever write another poem?
This cannot be my end
The dawn on ice must thaw.

Infinite Time
I’m out of my element; I’m like a fish out of water
I’ve lost my inspiration and now I’m left here to ponder
I want to go back to the infinite time
Where words came easily to me and so did rhymes
I’m at home only in the infinite time.

Legends Never Die
Legends and myths embark us on a journey
To places where we have never been
The wind brings a message, and I hear her calling
Heed not to what is physical, but to what is within.
-
Is there some truth to the legends?
Or are their messages pure fiction?
Stuck in this hell, the words bring me a taste of heaven
All I must do is close my eyes and listen.
-
To the voice of an angel caressing my keen ears
Having faith means believing even if I don’t know why
With a lightened heart and liberated soul, I feel no fear
I hold on to the...

Silent War
The doctors said that Ethan would get better
All he needed was to take his medication and receive our support
Yet that all turned to dust when we read the letter
And saw the consequences of a life cut short.
It wasn’t Ethan’s fault nor was it ours
We didn’t know how to fight something we couldn’t see
Now I stand before his grave with a bouquet of flowers
Had I seen the signs earlier, how different would things be?
I shamefully realize that I was just a watcher
A useless bystander who preferred to assume that Ethan was okay
He said...

Spanish Eyes
It’s a pleasant walk from work to Olive or Twist
I’ve made an extra effort to clean myself up
My normally frizzy hair has been straightened and I wear a classy black dress
My normally pale face is adorned with the best quality make-up on the market.
As I approach the bar, I subconsciously rub my left hand and wrist
I enter the bar, and am pleased that Douglas recommended us to come here instead of a club
The pleasant ambient allows me to release my pent-up stress
I pat my sides and feel a mixture of relief and trepidation at what’s in my pocket.

#Communication
Something that has brought us together throughout the years
Something that has allowed civilizations to rise from their primitive beginning
A gift that only we humans possess and are ungrateful for
The ability to write and speak the words that will forever be retained within the worn pages of a book
We are a sociable species, even those of us who claim to be anti-social
The average woman speaks 20,000 words a day; the average man, only 7,000
Being quiet is not a crime; some people are just better listeners
Yet the true crime is what anyone can see by walking...

If Elephants Could Fly
If elephants could fly, then the world wouldn’t be able to…
Close their eyes and pretend they haven’t seen something new
Up in the clear blue sky, the elephant certainly has a great view
There’s no way to deny what we see; soon one plus one won’t equal two.
If elephants could fly, then I should be able to reach my goals
Say a few goodbyes and liberate my weary soul
I want to spread the truth and abolish all lies; free us from this chocking control
Even if it’s just me, myself and I; at least I’m now whole.

Sound of Happiness
Life’s a constant struggle, but there are moments worth remembering
My first accomplishment that made me proud of myself
I had climbed a figurative mountain and made it to the top
I’ve never seen such a beautiful sight, and it’s brought me new perspective
The sound of happiness is my joyous laughter once I made it
The sound of happiness is glancing down at the beautiful blue waves gently crashing on the shore
The sound of happiness is seeing my parents smile that light up my world more so than the sun
But most importantly, the sound of happiness is the...

Dancing Under the Midnight Sun
Sunset is often viewed with trepidation and anxiety
I await the coming night in peace, and I quietly
Take out my notebook and look up at the sky
Once the moon comes out, my soul is ready to burst out and fly.
When the stars light up, a new journey has begun
My soul glows in delight when I’m dancing under the midnight sun
Universal forces embrace me as if we were old friends
Even when my body dies, my soul and imagination will never end.
The darkness of the night is nothing to be feared

Road to the Moon
Life on Earth has nearly beaten me to death
I’ve had enough, so I’m up for a trip
I make peace with myself and my pain
I get in the car and travel on the road to the moon
I hope to find peace and stability that I lacked here.
