(2014)
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
