Her Poe Ate Tree

Hi and welcome to this humble page! :) On this page you will find a few of my poems. Although they might not be the most fantastic poems of all or noteworthy, they are dear to me. They are part of me. They describe the sorrows, the losses, the heartbreaks, the desires, the love, the quirks, the eccentricities, the passions, and the sentiments I have been through in my life. I will never want any other life than the life that I have. It is what makes me who I am today. I have been writing poetry since out of elementary school. I've had a fascination with poetry for many years and enjoy from time to time writing a poem here and there. These poems are dear to me and although some sound like the poems of a schoolgirl, they are poems coming from my heart nevertheless. I am a poet! Anyone can be a poet, if only they would take a chance to put in writing what their heart is speaking...Lastly, I'm sorry if you find you don't understand the first two poems I wrote in Spanish. I will translate them at a later time. Please be patient. :)

"Y Ahora Que?"

Recuerdas cuando tu me amabas y era yo la luz de tu vida?
Cuando era yo todo para ti, tu calor, tu refugio, y tu salida?
Recuerdas tambien cuando encontrabamos el paraiso?
Cuando haciamos el amor con pasion y sin pedir permiso?

Y yo, en mi mente tan ingenua, creia que era para siempre,
que el amor que teniamos era verdad, era fuerte, y suficiente.
Pero ahora se que era tonta y que el amor no conquista todo,
que en el final tu amor no era solido, pero blando como el lodo.

Estoy feliz y aliviada que no puedes ver a mis ojos, y mi cara,
porque ahora se que no me amabas y estoy avergonzada.
Levanto mi triste cara al cielo y le suplico a Dios, "Porque?"
Dirme, como puedo yo vivir sin el? Que hago? "Y ahora que?"

"Una Rosa Sin Espinas"

Aqui en mi mano cargo una blanca rosa,
es bonita, perfecta, y me siento celosa
Mis lagrimas siguen quemando mi cara,
mis ojos mojados, cuando se aclararan?

Quiero ser esta rosa sin ningunas espinas,
no cometer errores y siempre ser divina.
Besada por los rayos del brillante sol,
amada, hasta que me derrite del ardor

Pero no! Parece que no voy hacer,
lo que el desea, una maravillosa mujer.
Porque me calumnia? Porque dios mio?
Con detesto me deja, sufriendo del frio

A mis ojos les sublico no llores! Basta ya!
Pero mi amor por el, nunca se terminara.
Y con rincon yo pisoteo la rosa maldita
Ahora es imperfecta! Como yo mismita!

"Right Well"

I conger up some courage and into the mirror I then say,
"Listen, I am going to do right well, and I will be okay"
I tried my best to make it all tickety-poo with few skills,
crossing choppy waters and climbing stonking hills,

I did not see it coming, but maybe well, actually I did
hard to admit I cocked up and that on a love peel I slid.
My soul and heart is in wretched pain, but I'll heal up
move on without the water of his love filling up my cup.

I wish him all my best truly, that and so much more,
and if he finds himself one day standing on some shore,
I hope it will remind him of the dreams we both shared,
and how we tried like the dickens with a love impaired.

"Chalkboard I Love Yous"

Many suns ago while no one took a look,
I wrote on a blackboard with chalk I took,
these heartfelt words that felt so true,
I love you, I love you, I love you.

Forever and always I sincerely will,
but now regretfully, as tears start to spill,
with an eraser, and though still in doubt,
I wipe the I love you words all out.

I did it with vindiction, I did it in haste,
and so chalkdust I love yous fell on my face.
I inhaled it all in and then out I choke,
the words I hardly ever spoke...

"What love Can Do"

I use to walk all straight,

very upright,

but now I am clumsy,

scattered and dorky too.

I am all over the place

quite a sight,

aint' it darn silly,

what love can do...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Heartcleaning"

I fell hard and I, well, ouch,
all of me got scattered,
shocked not knowing,
my heart would get splattered.

Spilling my love for you
all over the place.
A storm of tears all over
my pain-stricken face.

Time now to clean up again,
though heartcleaning's hard to do.
Mop, rinse, mop, then let dry,
time to start again anew...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Poetry Eyes"

Poetry eyes, regretful,
crying,
shimmering like
the sea.

Poetry eyes, melancholy,
when will your
next cloudy day
be?

Poetry eyes, lamenting,
what will your
tears have to
say?

Poetry eyes, masochistic,
what will your
pain be about
today?

"You Are To Me"

You are to me that peaceful, serene haven in paradise,
after I've walked through a jungle, or trudged on ice.

You are to me like grass that grows green and tall,
after winter has passed and snow has seized to fall.

You are to me an anchor supporting me out in the sea
during turbulent times and when I'm longing to flee.

You are to me a bright sun warming me inside and out,
when the weather is cold and a warm day's in doubt.

You are to me the stars on a black night that glitter,
if I find I'm restless after dreams have turned bitter.

You are to me my heart, my soul, my inspiration too,
the one who gives to me a love so precious and true.

You are to me simply the universe, the earth, the sky,
everything that lives and everything that never dies...
