-
A cackle, then a cruel smile,
as her hair dances like spiders.
-
Her pale fingers grasp / The brilliant colored fan / Gracefully spinning / Lowered eyes fix on / The silk that wraps her body / With cherry blossoms / White makeup, layered / Upon her quiet features,
-
Nights here, / shine almost as bright as the days. / The moon smiles down / lighting the fields with her silver warmth. / Flashlights and fear are left at home, / As children wander the shining streets. / The

He strolled through the square,
and then began to fly.
-
The spring arrived slowly
relieving the sky from its oppressive clouds,
-
He pulled her close in his arms
And their kiss made the sun rise.
-
The dollars dropped like
snow falling through the saplings
-
The cross she had clutched so tightly
lay in her open palm.
-
He smiled and waved,
teeth shining white with harmless lies,
-
The rain fell from her greying eyes
as April dropped outside.
-
A year is gone,
flown away with its leaden feet.
-
If man is an island, then what am I?
A penninsula with only one escape?
-
Did you ever wonder
Why tears taste like the ocean?
-
And you don't understand
That my heart is beating here for you
-
Maybe I wear a mask for cameras so in thirty years
I'll look back, and see how happy I really wasn't.
-
All I can think about is
Broken hearts and broken dreams.
-
But your blackened bleeding feet
Cry out for you to stop
-
Black and white visions rule the world
When I long for shades of grey

Push myself down
Handcuff myself to the floor
-
I fear your brilliance will blind me
And I fear that your light will never reach me
-
E ven though a year has passed, I
R ead the story again every night
-
Crates consume my tiny space
Life jammed in a box

Mi alma esta

To love and lose is better than dying
Without my love to give

See your child standing here
Her heart broken from your razor tongue
-
Live for those who love you
And those who will

Put on a smile
It's time to perform
-
But shed no tears
For our sad little pal
-
And she bought a pink mumu ten sizes too big
Cuz it said "small" on the tag
-
I want to stand on a small stage
Smoke swirling around my head
-
"We should help the poor!", he said,"and keep the earth alive.
We should make sure children eat and allow new ideas to thrive."
-
So I hope to God you'll be alright
Because there's nothing I can do.
-
So my fingers remained poised
Hovering above the keys
-
I don't know who you are
But I know you exist
-
Why do I feel no sadness at all
As I remove my black cap and gown?
