A mother’s heart, In pieces,

All hope gone.

Quietly she sits, Reminiscing On the day it all went wrong.

Heart-crushing words,

Unthinkable—

Her whole world torn apart,

As the doctor said,

Apologetic, “We can’t hear the heart.”

Completely numb,

Bewildered,

She sits with a blank stare,

In total denial, Refusing To face her deepest fear

She cried out loud,

Unyiel...

once my cup ran over

with everything, mainly love

a large cup it was 

then the cup became paper

was drained of everything 

discarded

in the trash

but I found a final ounce of myself 

glowing at the end of my moons rainbow 

yes they exist

and took it to find my way home in the dark

Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart

Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, you just keep getting brought down

You tell yourself that everything is going to be alright

You tell yourself that you will survive

You look for a sign, anything to tell you that you are going down the right path

You pray to God that he gives you the strength to carry on

And jus...

Don't judge me with your bitterness.

Don't care how you dress.

To me, it doesn't matter who you kiss.

Love is a philosophy, not an activity.

Don't force your adjectives on me.

My acceptance is on the content of your character.

Selfishness is the only way you know how to care.

The way you walk through life. 

It is like walking on the edge of a knife.

Cutting awa...

arches and keystone

without one they fall

life sustained by you

or I had nothing at all

skies at time of damp

arch of hues on show

feast with brittle rays

grist for my rainbow

refraction bends light

you twisted my heart

with love's pot of gold

vowed we'd not part

rainbow but an illusion

your promise the same

capricious the crescent

they were innocent at school, bubbles

you got the tin and wand and blew

wet globules flew in the playground

we cheered at the squadrons we grew

they hit you in the face but harmless

we ran madly trailing clouds of glory

each bubble with its personal rainbow

to embroider some memory or story

trouble was that strong soapy smell

a reminder of the pain of bath nigh...

Mami's little princess

Papi's pride and joy

Mami taught her to be a good house wife

Mami taught her to be a smart girl

Papi taught her to think twice before saying yes to any boy

Papi taught her to be a strong and to be an independent girl

Mami's little princess 

Papi's pride and joy

The little princess grew up to like girls not boys

And Papi's heart broke

And Mami's ...

WHO PUT SUSPICION IN THE RAINBOW?

A bridge has the first clue

Not a single natural occurrence

Folklore is just the arguments

When enough blood spilt of "Promise"

And promised to whom until every paw

Daubed on crying babies watered

A crossing to where demanded?

Only fair to ask one question

If walk up across bridge

What could happen

If from other way 

Possib...

Waking up newly in love

Is there a more lyrical thing?

Mind focused on the one

Destined to wear your ring

Dawns depend on your mood

Roseate when things go well

Blue if you're feeling anxious

Black if you're living a hell

Rising slowly in sickness

Racked by aches and pains

Life teeming with negatives

Griefs but no sign of gains

Dawns depend on your...

A rainbow appears when there is sun and rain

The weathers equivalent of joy and pain

Grey clouds may come to darken your day

Sunshine and blue skies, will light up your way

A spectrum of colour created by reflection of light

An optical illusion, presenting an arc that delights

The rain subsides and the rainbow fades away

The sun breaks through, revealing a brighter day

This poem is a response to Cynthia B.T's. polite polemic, Mind in a Cage.

I am grateful to her for having incited me to use my mind.

Imprisoned or Prism

Our mind is the eye

By which we see, or not, all worlds;

The humdrum, the yet to come,

The mathematical, the fantastical.

By which we perceive, or n...

Hiding in the dark

Sun beams through a rough parchment

Glimpse of a rainbow

A hundred thoughts in my mind

Yet struggling to pen down some lines.

There is this rainbow, all over me;

But I am all white

Just being black and white.

Bullet is cheaper than love;

Tears wiping away smiles.

Death winning over life;

But I am alright, 

Just being black and white.

A hundred arrows pierced my heart;

Haven't split a pint of blood, yet

Gazin...

Rainbow Bridges

Rainbow bridges
and Ice Cream ridges.

A Cotton Candy cloud
Everyone is wowed.

A Chocolate mountain
flows into a Chocolate fountain.

Boy am I
gonna get fat!

Before She Came (The Girl From Kansas)

before she came

I stood here

for what seemed

like eons

with a blood red sun

setting behind me

my head full

of nothing more

than sawdust

straw

and dreams

a hole in my chest

where beetles

scuttled

happy

come rain or shine

my only fear

that crows might see

through me

be brav...

We visited a rainbow

at school the other day.

Every colour said hello

except for gloomy grey.

We visited a rainbow,

and used its arch to slide,

then when it started raining,

we used the arch to hide.

We visited a rainbow,

but never saw its gold.

Our teacher said it’s locked away,

but we think it’s been sold.

        The heart is such a complex thing

      It pumps and beats like a finely tuned machine

      But unlike a machine it feels emotions

      That can carry you down into the deepest oceans

      Or carry you upwards full of love and devotions

      What will today bring I wonder

      What does my heart want to feel I ponder

      Do I think of you and dive down so deep

      To the d...
