A Lover’s Concern
I have begun to wonder That if by now you have fallen in love with my imperfections And if so Would it be okay it there were also bruises
Phantom Speakeasy
Phantom speakeasyRhyming off reasonLaying victim to the dark Tell meWhen has the world ever listened to your pleaEloquent soliloquy fallen on deaf ears No sign of reliefDistant screamingTearing away at my sadness Phantom speakeasyDisturbing the silenceLoud sounds in a quiet room Breaking down my walls of grandeurMundane thoughts plague meThe common tongue bears its fangs…
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…

Used Thoughts Of The Silence

Fragile Pieces
I have taken a liken to my hands, to the way you left them. Mangled bruises but only on the surface. Beneath you left me with tactile changes of my character. I trace these lines to their source And find they run much deeper than this feigning of disingenuous compromises Bent over the wrong way…
It is not yet Spring
Fragile cases of disillusioned men come tumbling down the street. Seeking justice on a promise of lips No one heard a thing they said Distant passersby scoff at the disruption to their walk It is not yet spring Loud voices clash On mountains of ill-forgotten deeds of kindness Silver clatters to the floor Making its…
