(2014)
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
