The Clown

The beautiful clown looked so sad
She danced in a careless world
And made them laugh...
She shed a tear or two but no one cared...they just laughed and clapped with curiosity in their eyes...and she danced for the world to see her awesomeness...
The clown is laughing now...

Dancing my night off

So I will dance the night off.
I will be free as the wolf is
I will fly away and ran with the pack and pretend i am one more
Of the team...

If only the wolf knew

How much the eagle
Cares for him...
But he does not
Does he...?
If he knew he would be
Right here with me
Tonight.

The sweetest things in Life

Are those that cost you nothing
a singing bird, a cloud in the sky
a blooming flower
the smile of a child
a friendly hug
the notes of a song
that reminds you of someone
long time ago
the kiss of a mom
or the hug of your son
a walk near a river
or deep in the woods
the smell of the one
you love,
or the smell of the rain
it cost nothing
and yet,
makes you feel
like the richest
of richest...

My Choice

Today I choose to love
Sometimes to love
means to let it go
To open your hand
And let that bird
 fly away
To hold your desire
To cut off that flower
To stop chasing
A falling star
or the end of the rainbow
I choose to love you
By saying good bye.

You Matter

No matter what they say
no matter what they think
just remember this
in God's eyes
you are worth it!


No matter what you think
how low or sad you are
how lonely you may feel
remember my good friend
you matter.


No matter how it gets
stormy, rainy, shine,
dark, cloudy, dry,
hot, or freezing hell
don't worry how bad it is
there is light at the end


No matter if you think
or if I think we are worthless
if we fall down and stand again
and fall again in our face
there is someone that thinks
we matter, we are lovable,
we are worth our weight in gold
we matter to Him.


So path yourself in the back
wipe your tears and your knees
and stand again and say thank you
for you really matter, my friend.

Carta para ti

Hola! el clima esta mejorando,
poco a poco sale el sol y calienta la tarde
los arboles empiezan a echar hojas
y la hierba empieza a reverdeser.
y tu que tal, aun estas en pleno invierno?

How are You?

In nights like this one
When it rains and it is cold
I wonder...are you ok?
Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are you well? I just wonder...
There is so much misery out there, so much loneliness
So much struggle to survive
And yet, rest assure that someone under the same sky cares...

El Amor, La Pluma y El Papel

Oh! El amor, la pluma y el papel
Son todo lo que soy y que sere
El amor me despierta, me llena,
Me enternece y me hiere,
Me enloquece y me pierde.
La pluma es mi pasion
La tomo en mis manos
Y escribo y describo
Los versos de mi alma
El papel es el lienzo
En el que estampo mis huellas
Las palabras que fluyen
Y abonan la tierra.

Letter to The Wind

You came one day in fall
in a rush and in the dark
and you stayed for a little while
you moved things around
you took, you gave
and move on you went
you still around sometimes
soft some days,
wild or fresh,
I don't see you
per say, but I perceive you
be well, dear wind,
be fine, be you...
play around with the clouds
and the birds
refresh the day
and if you ever feel like it,
stay...

The River

It runs like a snake from extreme to extreme of the country
bringing life, and yet, one day, it just rises like a giant
bringing death...getting back what is rightfully his...
leaving misery behind, like an unfaithful men,
destroying, like an angry warrior...

Oh Hello There!

I t has been a while since I last heard from you
few years have pass, and time have change so much
since last time we met...


You were concerned,
because deep down
we still good friends,
the kind that care,
the Kind that pray
the kind that hope
and whish
for each other welfare...


Sometimes I wonder
where we went wrong
but ain't matter anymore
we grow older and with it
wisdom come,
well, kind off...


I am glad to hear from you
I really hope things are ok
life is too short
we grow too fast
and time, the unforgiven time
knocks in the door one day...


So my dear ex - husband
and current friend,
I just want to wish you well...
Take care, live well, be happy
enjoy life and let go all the pain
get closer to God,
He is the only way...
and by the way,
thanks for caring, still...

Poema al Olvido

El olvido es triste
es una rosa olvidada
 en el florero,
marchitada
sin el agua vital
abandonada
en un Rincon
de la casa
sin ojos que la miren
o manos que la cuiden…
El olvido es
como el arbol
que no regresa
despues
de un largo invierno
se quedo dormido,
putrefacto y muerto,
y solo la carcaza
se mantiene erecta
como desafiando a la muerte
El olvido eres tu
caminante que marchas
arrazando contigo
las almas
guerrero adolorido
que no perdonas
ni amas
ni te importa la vida
solo ries y callas
y te vas por el mundo
persiguiendo
 suenos
que moriran manana.

Joy

Good morning sunshine!
Warm the earth, this crazy place that we call home. Bring with you the life of a beautiful spring season. Paint the landscape with flowers of all kind and colors.  Come, visit everyday and bring with you the joy of another sunrise!

Breathing

Sometimes we must pause
and take a long,
calming, relaxing breath...
and walk away
from all the pain
the sadness
the disappointments
the everyday ups and downs
and just close our eyes
and imagine a world
peaceful as a field of dandelions
where we walk free
from worry and sadness
where we can lay down
over a green field of grass
and look at the blue sky
clean and clear
where the stars shine
and the moon smiles
back at you
while a butterfly
flies playfully
over your face
and you hear a happy
cardinal singing
at the top of his lungs


just take a deep breath
and imagine that...

Sobresalto

Te ha pasado que a veces
Sin siquiera notarlo
Se te viene a la mente
La memoria de un beso
O una palabra o un algo
Y se te revuelve por dentro
El alma con un sobresalto...

The Ice cream

ah! the food comfort
that reminds you
of the ice cream truck
and all the children
running in desperation
gathering around
in the hope to make it
through the line
before the last scoop
of ice cream
sells out...

Masquerade

Life is like a carnival
Where everyone wears a mask
And dance a walz we call love
One to three one to three
Now I do love you now I do not.

Flowers from the Unknown

I get flowers
every day
from a person
I don't know
is a courteous
 way to say
morning, bless you
 and take care...
I don't know you
I don't care,
I just thank you
for those flowers
that you send...
its a blessing
to be cared,
to be wished
a good day
from the distance
and the unknown
who takes
time to say hello!

If the Walls Could Talk

They would be gossiping all day
about the things that they see
about the tears that they hear
and the sadness they perceive
they will talk about the joy
once they saw, and the sunny days
of the past. About the dreams,
they will talk....if they could
they would have...
but they are silence instead
and for that I am glad...!

El Sendero

Caminando despacio
Observo en la distancia
El sendero que lleva
De mi puerta a tu casa
Es un sendero largo
Echo de polvo y tierra
Y se me agigantan los pasos
Porque te ciento mas cerca
Mientras recorro el sendero
Voy pensando, piensa y piensa
Que esto que llamamos vida
Es casi, casi una fiesta
Y a medida que avanzo
Por el camino de piedra
Me olvido de adonde iba
Y me embelezan las huellas
De otros pies que pasaron
Por este sendero de tierra...

Wondering...

I always wonder why is so much easier to write poetry in my native language...I mean, when you love you don't love more in one language or the other, right? You just feel love, so why is easier to express feelings in one language over the other. It does no make sense to me.

Te Busco

En mi memoria
Y no logro encontrarte
Te busco entre mis suenos
Y tampoco te encuentro
Te busco en el silencio
Y tu ausencia me duele
Como duele una herida
Como duele la muerte.
Te busco con mi alma
Y todavia te siento
Donde empieza la vida
Y se derrama el deseo...
Te marchaste una manana
En busca de otros suelos
Y te perdiste en la distancia
Como en el cielo un jilgero...
volveras algun dia?
Me pregunto y espero
Solo oigo un silencio
Que me acuchilla
En el pecho...
Te doy un beso
 en mis suenos
Y cansada me duermo.
Buenas noches, manana
Conversaremos de nuevo.

In the midst of chaos

When the world
spins around
without control or order
if you stop for a second
and take a deep breath
you may find a point
to focus and restart again
Just listen for a moment
the silence and just
like Beethoven
let music flow out
of your mind
into the world
and savor the harmony
of the music
and your soul...
let the crescendo
build up and lift your mind,
then let the clock restart again
and go dance at your own rhythm
and get the grand finale
stump the world with its beauty,
you will find such a peace
and then,
everything falls in place
 again
bringing calm and order
to your mind.
"Love much, laugh often, live deep, forgive and move on, life is too short to waste it in silly stuff" Not sure who said that, but it is a good advise.

Monday

Monday morning. Another start of another week. Another opportunity to influence the world with our daily living. Let's go and put in our grain of sand!

And even in a bad day like today I still thankful. I am thankful for everything and everyone in my life because you are teaching me, helping me to grow and to shape into a better human being.

Some days...

Some days are better than others. Today is not one of them. It is a day when I did step backwards and lost terrain. It brings back sadness.  Guiltiness. Feelings of unworthiness. I guess it takes time to heal and we are in a daily battle with ourself. I wish I had a magic wand to vanish sadness and bring on happiness...but I don't...

What about You?

Today is another opportunity to improve who we are. We are a work in progress. A diamond in disguise. So I am taking the opportunity to try again. To get polished, to grow, to improve, to keep loving, to still hoping, to dance and sing and celebrate despite the barriers, limitations and dissapointments...What about you?

Self Reflection

End of the week. TGIF. Looking backward, it has been productive. First, I woke up, therefore I am alive. That is a good thing because I can do my part to make this world a better place that what it was when I first arrived. I think I helped someone to see a brighter future, or at least to find the light at the end of the tunnel. I may not be perfect, but I strive to be better. I like that.
