Bird
Jowelle Mizero Apr 2017
But I was a bird,
and you should have known
I’d fly away.

I was not made to be caged,
but you can watch me fly.

Lion
Jowelle Mizero Apr 2017
A lion roars.

I hear it within me,
a steady reverberation
animating my soul.

I am power.

Moments
Jowelle Mizero Mar 2017
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.

Our moments are collecting,
building a past.

Each second writes the
story we'll read
when tomorrow becomes today.

Human
Jowelle Mizero Feb 2017
As you inhale,
I exhale.
We are human,
together in this
breath of life,
moving in this
perfect rhythm.

Pieces
Jowelle Mizero Feb 2017
I fell hard
and my bones shattered like glass.

As I watched my pieces scatter,
I realized that my mistake was
trusting you.

I didn't fall.
You dropped me.

OLD SUN
Jowelle Mizero Feb 2017
An old sun rises
over a new day,
holding past’s lesson and
illuminating present’s path.
Up high watching the world’s orbit,
the birth of love, the blast of hate.
All the while in silence,
shining as the seasons change.
