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
