so, here are a couple más old poems i dug up and decided to post. the first is one that came out of a period of intense creativity (ah if only i had the time nowadays). the segundo was a creative escritura assignment that i never got around to finishing, so i apologize if the end is a bit abrupt. once again, any feedback is greatly appreciated :).
stargazing
i dream in broad daylight
of an old front porch swing
where i sit cradling my guitar
canto tu a song
while your paintbrush splashes sunbeams
across my upturned face
paint drips
in arco iris rivulets
down your sun-kissed skin
your eyes are filled with laughter
and i'm a symphony of smiles
your body is a constellation
and every estrella is mine
see tu and me
we're painting poetry
one canvas
at a time
untitled
the other día tu called me
to tell me you're in amor
with a woman equally willing
to compromise her integrity
tu say she loves tu back
but i can see she only loves
the way tu make her feel
and its not going to be pretty
when tu factor yourself into the deal
now tu hide in the darkness
from people who might see your light
and tu cling to each other
with all your might

true friends are hard to come by...
yet when tu catch them tu feel like tu can fly...
tu trust them,
amor them,
and talk of future...
tu know that they will never lie...
and siguiente to them tu stand side por side...
tu amor them,
hug them,
and share smiles with eachother...
oh how it feels when tu know your important...
that tu know tu have some one to comfort you...
tu hold their hand,
skip down the street,
and feel no defeat...
true friends are hard to come by...
but hold them tight so away they dont fly.

shadows in the night
every one keeps telling me i'll be alright
I tell myself i'll never be the same
as long as i know his name
he made me fall in love
we never have to fight
he makes me fell alright
he is a paloma the sign of love
to feel the love
it fits like a guante
amor send from above
shadows in the night
we never fight
people tell me i'll be alright
i no i won't untell he comes back to me
that will set me free
we can be
the showdows in the night
he came back to me
every one keeps telling me i'll be alright
I tell myself i'll never be the same
as long as i know his name
he made me fall in love
we never have to fight
he makes me fell alright
he is a paloma the sign of love
to feel the love
it fits like a guante
amor send from above
shadows in the night
we never fight
people tell me i'll be alright
i no i won't untell he comes back to me
that will set me free
we can be
the showdows in the night
he came back to me
