(2015)
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
