(2015)
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
