Soliloquy BLT
Give me two warm buns, slightly toastA silent plea to my flaws and insecuritiesTwo is often better than oneExcept in case of an emergency Condiments come next, just like the spice of lifeWide width of various, shapes, and sizesHiding the flavor fluent in broken tones Lettuce, or call it lechugaAn Authentic latina brings her own…
Pareidolia
Today, I saw faces on the walls Long noses and piercing eyes. I cried along with the tears of another. There were no sounds to call my own Like a silent movie without a plot They moved like people. Fickle and foul beings fumbling through life These silent stares bore holes into my soul. Blank…
She Fell
She shook For lack of emotion Had ejected her into reality Tumbling Falling from grace The doubt grew Flying with wings of uncertainty Never knowing what her purpose was For the fear of falling She would fall Mercilessly For the wrong person On two occasions Once in her prime And another when the world had…

These Empty Pages Feel No Pain
I look at empty pages where the words should be They gnaw at my being I can not write these feelings down I can not face them I am weak Do the strong wither with pages full of words Do they stand and face the wind Do they scream at their fears I do not…
The Frailty Of Large Ideals
For me the world is built on big ideas Large ideals, like kindness and somber thoughts Mournful visions of the past Mindful planning of the future For a world so large, yet so small I weep, like a child that has just lost its mother without understanding the gravity of lost I weep, face strained…
