You said Always & Forever
ReplyDeleteA poem by:
Joaquin Hernandez Jr.
&
Gabriela Lopez-Rodriguez
You said Always
&
Forever,
But somewhere in between those words
You lied......
My love for you is forever,
But somewhere something went wrong
And that lie became yours.
If that's the way you remember.
It's unfair and in my mind this isn't something new.
For so much trouble I feel like a fool.
I can't deny the truth.
My heart yearns for you,
But my mind is reluctant.
If I were to deny what is meant to be so perfect
Then I'd be the one left all alone.
I don't deserve it.
Perfection is unreachable.
But my love for you is too strong.....
"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."-Sam Keen
MEGAN
ReplyDeleteMegan Podgekeg is the best
She likes to show off her chest
She gets mad atleast twice a day
If you look at her ugly, something mean is what she'd say
Always dressed in skinnies and the color black
But shes a good friend that has your back
Tall as a girraffe
She won't take any slack
So, yes, its true Megan is the best
Even though sometimes, she may be a pest.
"hate by me"
ReplyDeleteby:Joshua Yanez
You should have let me try
Instead of having to hide
So now I’m off this stupid ride
And now I regret
The day we met
There’s no way to hide
And I cannot abide
How I feel inside
I hate you.
"I Remember"
ReplyDeleteThe day
more like the night as I think about it
clear sun shining
like a moon across the water
a note left on the car
wanting, waiting, hoping
to be found
lifted from the wiper
touching my hand it began to boil
burning with curiosity
urging to be opened
a peek inside the scribbled note
a dream of the heart appeared
"Bump"
ReplyDeleteBa-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump.
Pain beneath my breast,
never have I been so shattered.
Will I find rest?
Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump.
Have I ever felt more alone?
Wings like angels on my back,
below my ribs a heart of stone.
Ba-bump, ba-bump, crack!
Veins of ice, toxic blood.
Heart beats,
slowly pumping poison mud.
Raging stinging.
The jab of shards,
in a world so cold.
Fate has dealt the cards.
Tinkle, tinkle.
Life in pieces,
I find the pain,
most of all music eases.
Tinkle, tinkle…..bump.
Scars
ReplyDeleteSharp needle and thread,
They stitch and they twine,
your lips
They’ve been closed for a very long time,
Only way to reach out is by using your eyes,
So burned by the tears,
You continue to hide,
We’ll run to each other,
Escape the bullets together,
Carve “You Are Mine” ,
Forget about time,
Your hand in mine,
You’ll find that the scars on your wrist
Match mine,
My lips tremble,
My heart aches,
I can’t sit still,
I cannot wait,
I need you near me,
I want you to hear me,
Cause your the girl,
That truly loves me,
We’ll run to each other,
Escape the bullets together,
Carve “You Are Mine” ,
Forget about time,
Your hand in mine,
You’ll find that the scars on your wrist
Match mine,

True tuning
ReplyDeleteJust because I'm a tuner doesn't mean my ride is covered in stickers.
Just because I'm a tuner doesn't mean I have neon lights on my ride.
Just because I'm a tuner doesn't mean I have a ridiculous body kit.
Just because I'm a tuner doesn't mean my ride is so low it hits the ground.
True tuning is the bond between a person and the machine.
It's building something from nothing.
If I have a loud exhaust its for performance and not just to make noise.
True tuning is a lifestyle and not what you see on fast and the furious.
Someday I want to see that beautiful face
ReplyDeleteI want to hear that voice that sounded so perfect to me
That bald head all shiny like a star acting silly with me and having the best time ever doing nothing
I want you to chase me around the house while laughing so hard we just throw ourselves on the bed and laugh more cause were so tired from running
I just want one more day to see that beautiful face
Sleepless nights awake
ReplyDeleteMy mind never rests
Im as still as the night time lake
I cant just reset
Father time be on my side
Take me away to my endless ride
Its never easy to just be
I need a little more of an insentive
All i need is to sleep
Give me another perspective
if it wasn't for you
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have learned
That love, it doesn't last forever
It doesn't get much better
We promised each other
That we'd stay here forever
Well where are you now?
These sleepless nights
Yeah your the one to blame
I can't sleep at night cause I dream of you
With another guy, looking into his eyes
You see that's not right, those eyes should be mine.
In my chest there is a door
ReplyDeletethat has always been closed,
Nobody has ever opened it.
If I've never been in love
behind those doors, there is a heart
beating, waiting for a heart that will love it, and to care for it
It's a heart that's small, that has been asleep
It feels very solitary, because no one has ever loved it
If someone has touched that door
just to make him suffer, better off to close that door
so that he returns back to sleep
The door had a key, and i couldn't find it
I am beginning to look for it for if someone would like to enter,
I feel very much satisfied
because I found the reason,
to look for the little key
so that I can open my heart
Where do i begin.
ReplyDeleteall the stars are being crossed.
Its love at first sight,
blinded by a true beauty,
a midnight wonder,
that takes true form,
staging fights and breaking young.....
hearts
Humble.
ReplyDeleteIts the word of success.
Without the knowledge of being thankful,
its kinda hard to be caress.
A day in the shade
ReplyDeleteWind blows through my hair
Autumn leaves fall gently on my cheeks like little kisses
Orange leaves as far as the eye can see sun set
The sound of birds chirping is everywhere
The sound of crunching every time I take a step,
A day in the shade.
( I didn't get the chance to say this at the open mic but it is a poem that I feel strongly for and I wrote it out of true emotions)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was falling I was asked why?
And I couldn't answer because all I knew was to hide.
This life would never satisfy me yet it would be my only home.
A place that was so bi polar,
Like a broken phone.
Choosing when I would soar,
And when I would fall.
Making this life so unpredictable,
I would soon answer the call.
Knowing that this type of life was irresistible,
I followed in footsteps not of my own .
Remembering her as a past ,
When all she did is live in a present so fast.
All her memories left on a blood stone
So when asked why?
All I will do is hide
Because it is me who wants to know
But after I do, I will have nothing left to show.
You know nothing, little lord. Nothing of their might. Nothing of his terrible power. You are ignorant, and so you hope to oppose him. You are insects railing against the heavens, And when you return, you will only run back with your souls drowning in failure and the aftermath of war lingering in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteYou sit and wait, pausing, glancing only once at your flag.
I see their faces. I wish not to lose another crowd of people, Especially one that I feel holds my heart and it’s entirety in their hands.
I am a prince before I am a son or brother.
I am a noble before I am a peasant.
I will die defending my nation before I let my throne be sold to greed and lust.
I am not a man to lie, and I will certainly not lie when these words leave my mouth
;
From the me in the past, a once hideous man, I am now a beautiful beast.
I have changed myself.
I saw the emptiness in the sky, I saw the sorrow, and that moment, I decided to take pity on my people, After all, they could not see!
So a prince I am, a Prince on the field of life and death.
Paint stains the mud, and I stand here alone.
My army of one, I am a prince, in My army of one, I fight to the death.
