life has won over death
tu arrive
a joyuss look in your eyes
tu were laughing
tu were smiling
tu were crawling
when tu took your first steps
tu were mesmirized
tu were running
tu were jumping
tu were making mud pies
clinging onto me
soon tu were older
to old for grownups
tu played with your friends
tu played sports
but tu still called me mommy
tu were chasing after girls
tu were failing your classes
tu were making a mess of your world
soon tu betrayed me
tu lied and tu cheated
tu estola from me
tu disapeared for days
tu dropped out of school
tu swore at me
tu snuck into R rated cine
tu broke into stores
theif

cheater
I kicked tu out
tu disapeared
tu became a druggie
tu became a drug dealer
tu had a truck full of weapons
I saw tu on the news
they accused tu for murder
they tasered tu
tu went to court
I watched
they nailed tu into a bored
tu killed five women
tu killed five beutiful girls
sixteen año olds
tu were going to death row
tu were going to die
they were going to electrocute tu
tu went to the sentance
the clock ticked
they put tu in the chair
the clock ticked
12:00
currents shot up your body
tu jolted adelante, hacia adelante
tu were dying
tu electrocuted
tu died
tu were on death row
my son was on death row
tu died
my one and only son
my little baby boy

Take this kiss upon the brow !
And, in parting from tu now,
Thus much let me avow
tu are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream,
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, o in a day,
In a vision, o in none,
Is it therefore the less gone ?
All that we see o seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few ! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep while I weep!
O God ! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp ?
O God ! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave ?
Is all that we see o seem
But a dream within a dream ?
She Walks in Beauty 1814
"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy día denies.
One shade the more, one rayo, ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
o softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A corazón whose amor is innocent!"
