Haciendo el amor contigo me lleva a un UtopΓa llena de felicidad aunque recien nos conocimos hace 2 dΓas tΓΊ sabes cΓ³mo tocar mi cuerpo como un amante conocido
I wrote this in 2007 when I transferred to a 4 year University. It was a rough experience.
me with my friends in 2007
I feel small in this enormous and elitist world it doesnβt seem like I will ever fit It only seems like a perfect fit for my younger, blonder, whiter, and younger counterparts Older, hispanic, and poor is not acceptable here. Should I even try ? When Iβm destined for failure on this institutionβs steps Failure on the steps is what I feel here- a place where my browner, poorer self feels like an outcast, an undesirable- by the eyes of prejudice
This another poem inspired about the great breakup of 2001. I probably wrote this when it first happened. My sense of reality is shook up after a break up and it feels like a never ending nightmare that I’ll never wake up from after it happens. This doesn’t happen with every break up…just the ones that really affect me.
Waiting
So I wait for the phone to ring To hear you say this loneliness has all been a horrible dream So I wait for you to show up at my door To tell me you canβt stand being away from me no more So I wait for your love letter in my mailbox To begin getting back together
I wrote this in 2004 and revised it recently. It’s not based on anything from real life.
hard truth
Theyβre driving back from the theater. All evening heβs been quiet and she wonders what is going on. She reaches for his hand but he wonβt give it to her. She tries to look into his eyes and he looks away.She can feel him cold and distant. She no longer recognizes what is supposed to be βthemβ. With tears in her eyes, she says, βTell me whatβs wrong.β
βNothing.β he says as heβs still evading her eyes.
βDo you still love me?β she asks with a quivering voice.
βIβm sorry.Iβm in love with someone else. Itβs nothing you did. These things happen, I hope–
βSTOP!β she yells. Sheβs barely holding it together at this point.
βIβm really sorry, I just want to-β
βSTOP! Iβm done with this. Stop the car.β she screams at him.
βYouβre being crazy, at least let me-β
βNO. I want nothing from you! Stop the car NOW!β
βYou need to calm — he stops mid sentence as he sees her taking off her seat belt and unlocking the door. He stops the car. He says, βI just want–β
βFuck what you wantβ she says as she gets out of the car.
βBut I-β
βThere is nothing left to sayβ. She tells him. She walks away while she cries and laughs.She whispers to herself βfuck.once againβ.
I wrote this in 2003 about Damon who I was seeing again.
Your strange ways confuse me One moment you hold me in your arms The next moment you want someone else in your arms Do you want to break our amorous ties? Was the love you professed another one of your lies?
