Panic starts to cripple my mind as the realization sinks into my consciousness. A merry song is softly playing somewhere from a piped in speaker, as if laughing at my expense. My feet carry me to a sacred place, looking for sanctuary. My eyes remain tightly shut as tears fall, both my hands clasped tightly together on bended knees in a corner. My heart and my soul are breaking, screaming thoughts in my head. "Why?" "Why?"...

Slowly the sun is setting on the horizonEnding another chaotic day of lifeWhile the moon rises on the other sideLuminously glowing like a soft smileThe howling winds strongly blowEncouraging rolling waves to formBubbling foam comes up to the shoreWashing all traces of prints in the sandsLooking forlorn without the memoriesThe sky turns to dusk with a golden hueJoined in the sadness with the sandsHiding the miserable feeli...

      My sister once asked me, in one of my vulnerable, a bottle of wine, state of mind."Who will you choose, the one you love dearly or the one who loves you so much?""The one who loves me so much.""Why?""Because, if he already loves me. He will love me more when the times I have learned to love him too.""Are you sure?""Yes, why? Who will you choose?""Me? I will choose, the one I love dearly because I will not be sorry w...

The world where I live in is my imagination. Ever since I was a teenager, I always liked being alone lying on our house's rooftop covered by the tree branches. The swaying leaves gave me shade from the harsh burning rays of the sun while talking to my favorite tree and eating my manzanitas with the birds, or sleeping after all of my house chores was done. Hiding at the rooftop, daydreaming the rest of the day before my mo...

Lush forest greenery Vines creeping over Under the big old trees Covered by the mystery Miles and miles of history Morning mist kisses the earth Dewdrops fell on fertile land Breeze caressing the leaves Freshwater falls and running wild Fishes dances into the river valley New plants begin to sprout Fruit bearing trees blooming Wild beast roams the mountain Gentle creatures grace the land Insects busy buzzing Birds singing...

Come with me, my love.Your flower awaits.Let's wander In the anther and frolicIn the sea of pollen.The time is fertileTo taste the nectarWhere the beesCollect the pollenSavoring the nectarThat becomes the honeyStored in the honeycomb of the heartFor the cold winds of winter.

Life sometimes throws you a painful joke. You must laugh out loud to hide the tears.Some days, when the pain is too much to bear, tears uncontrollably overflow from your eyes. You can't hide it anymore from the brightly shining sun outside.Silent tears roll from your eyes. You want a garbled scream to be released with the utter pain. The agony that can only hide in the shower with the stainless steel rain covering it as y...

My closed fists keep banging on the wall. My lungs hurt so much from losing air. It's becoming hard to breathe. I never stop pounding even as I can see blood flow out from my bruised hands. My mind is in a panic and the fear starts to creep up through my whole body because I don't know how to swim and the wall is giving me no respite so I can get my breath.I have begun to feel weak and hopeless, fearing that I shall never...

I know, I can feel it. I can almost hear your laughter as I slowly walk in the stationary section of my favorite bookstore this morning.The new arrival display of journals and notebooks, along with the colored pens. Itching my way to start browsing the section, touching the hardbound cover of the journal and feel every texture of every page. I thought to buy two sets, I choose the red for me and blue for you. I continue m...

The first time I meet you in a guitar store, strumming a Gibson Les Paul guitar I know you are the man I should be scared to get closer. My eyes behind my digital camera focus on your face while you are listening to the sound of the guitar. A penguin tattoo on your left tattoed hand stops playing, and you lift your head up to look in my direction as if you know that I am looking from behind the lens. Your eyes smile while...

When I am not doing anything I look at your picture, and I think to myself, what it would be like to hold your face in my hands and kiss your lips, to touch your beard and trace your eyes with my fingertips.You have this innocent look of a little boy in your eyes that I so dearly love to look at. That naughty streak to explore is showing in your sparkling blue eyes. I wanted to know what was behind your naughty smile, the...
