  • In This Cold

    In This Cold

    Never will I say goodbye. Never will I forget you. The moments we shared. The happiness I felt around you. The moments you held me in your arms. The times before you lost faith in me. The moments before you stopped seeing me. You etched your name upon my heart. Years later I still feel…

  • What we Need and What we Want

    What we Need and What we Want

    You needed me to be calm. I am calm. You needed me to love. I am loved. You needed me to believe. I always believed. You needed me to change. I am forever changed. You needed me to forgive. I forgave with all the power in my heart.You needed me to go through this alone.…

  • This is How I Rise

    This is How I Rise

    I am strong enough,            I keep trying to be stronger every day. I am loved deeply,            I keep telling myself this so I don’t lose the horizon. I am hopeful every day,            I keep wishing if I say it enough, I will believe it. I am greater than my mistakes,            I…

  • As We Go

    As We Go

    No, I don’t know, Though I’ve searched high and low, Who I really am? No, I do not know, Where I will go. None of this life is part of or pre-planned. I continued to search, From coast to coast. From Atlantic green, To the Pacific blue. But of this life, I make the most.…

  • Where Do We Go From Here?

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    Absolute Joy, when we laugh, Unreserved, afraid of looking silly, those tears, like sunny days, clear. Sentimentality is not a weakness, vulnerability is an open door, to the strong center of your soul. Seeing eye to eye, holding one another, finding a path together, Forward. Spinning one-eighty, looking back upon the road, where we swerved…

  • 3:45 PM

    3:45 PM

    I don’t know where you’ve been. I know, it’s probably not true. I am looking for you. I don’t know where I’ve been. The voices, they tell me, they tell me it’s okay. I wish, I wish I knew, I wish I knew where to go. Without your hand in mine. I’m afraid I’m out…

  • Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    We came from different places.Two different roads, Two different countries, Two different histories,Our two paths, once diverged, came together.A beautiful moment, intersected, where love bloomed. From two vastly different backgrounds. Within that moment, all I saw was a future as one. We knew each other’s story. We knew each other’s words. We felt each other’s…

  • Recover and Retell

    Recover and Retell

    To make me happy again I would want one more dance. To take these two left feet and leave it all to chance. Together we would spread these wings and take to flight like a magnificent bird. Even after, the smile that would carve itself on to my face would still feel just a bit…

  • Sheer Force of Will

    Sheer Force of Will

    One day I will,One day you will,One day I will rise up.One day you will see what you have lost.One day I will climb up.One day you will reap the cost.One day I will stand tall.One day you will be the one who has been tossed.One day I will survey it all.One day you will…

  • Why Do I Stay?

    Why Do I Stay?

    You asked me, once why I stay.Why do I keep subjecting myself to these attacks?You asked me why I went after you, reaching for your hand?After all the things you’ve done to make me feel less of a man? When it began is hard to say, It could have been before I moved, Or when…
