(2014)
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
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
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
