Mirror so loved it (he made her his slave)

Slave to beauty,
Tied, bound, and condemned to live forever as a slave,
to her master and owner... Mr. APPEARANCE.  

She wants to free herself of this *******,
Rid herself of shallow attachments,
love fully her flaws,
but the cunning mirror, cautiously lies to her,
it has forged an alliance with her mind, to only make visible her most inadequate faults!  

She wants to break free,
love her insipid face,
but the chains of society,
weigh heavy on her…it always reminds her,
that she’s not completely emancipated,
that she is not special,
and she must keep the mold bequeathed to her,
for being born the weak gender and coming out of Adam's rib.  

She’s not fully captive,
She can go and have fun with her girls,
she can work, breast-feed an entire country,
but ultimately,
she should execute those functions,
looking like a beauty queen!  

Doesn’t matter that she’s a genius,
Doesn’t matter that she’s sincere,
Doesn’t matter that that she loves completely,
or the fact that she’s an exceptional person,
the only that matters…..
is that she keeps an ideal figure
that as she graces the streets with her delicate figure
traffic is halt to a stop,
that she be more beautiful than Halle Berry, Salma Hayek or Jolie.  

No, it doesn’t matter…….

As long as she remains tied to that mirror,
it doesn't matter that…..she’s empty inside!

Esclava de la belleza
amarrada, atada, y condenada,
a vivir por siempre como esclava,
de su amo y dueño…el Señor APARIENCIAS.

Ella quiere soltarse,
desencadenarse de ese apego,
amar plenamente sus defectos,
mas el vituperador espejo,
le miente precavidamente,
se ha combinado con su mente,
para enseñarle, lo más ¡deslucido que posee!

Ella quiere liberarse,
amar su lívido rostro,
pero las cadenas de la sociedad,
le recuerda que no está emancipada por completa,
que ella no es especial,
que tiene que mantener el molde promulgado y estampado,
por nacer de la costilla de Adán.

No es completamente prisionera,
puede salir y divertirse,
puede trabajar,
amamantar un país,
pero al final,
debe ejercer esas funciones,
¡como toda reina de belleza!

no importa que sea genial,
no importa que sea sincera,
no importa que ame por completo,
no importa que sea buena persona,
solo importa,
que mantenga un número ideal,
que choquen carros a su pasar,
que sea más bella que Halle Berry,
Salma Hayek o la Jolie.

Mientras ella siga atada a ese espejo,
no importa que este vacía por dentro!

Same class
junior high

you were placed beside me
making me nervous
I remember

but in time
you were my warmth
when things were growing colder

before that
they tried to match us up
she never told the whole story
and we didn’t fall

I want to blame her for it all
but you were searching for perfect
so I reversed

in comment for us both
is that she hurt us terrible
but we ignore that

she doesn’t affect us at all anymore
right?

but she does
and I hate having that
binding us together

it always drifted us apart

the last months
in junior high
and I allowed everyone
but myself
to make my choices

a diamond in your eyes
only for the others voices
for you I always was a dream
for someone else

a beautiful image

we weren’t so beautiful
at all
aboard
at hand

now
I want to remember you
the way we were
when we were both still dreaming

before colliding
turning friendship
into hazard love

and maybe one day
I will be back
outside your door
hanging around
ignoring your noes

sometimes you came
sometimes you didn't

we never cared
you were my friend
it was easy
we didn’t worry about
the end

I still wonder what your
truth is
for all of this

who would have thought
back then
that we would
share it all
and tear it all apart

I love you
Three words that seem have no meaning anymore,
Thrown around like a ball,
Those three words that were once so powerful,
Now meaningless...
"I love you" he said
And the mistake I made...was believing it.
I longed for that love he said he gave me,
I believed a lie of which made myself feel whole.
Hurting myself even more in the end,
Because when he said "I was lying"
Ripped and cut my heart in half;
like a flower being picked, longing for that life it once had, to breathe and to feel free..
Gone in an instant; like it had no purpose or meaning.

Sleep well knowing that
things will work out in the end.
Just let it happen.

I admit it,
I am sour and bland,
yet, in the sweetness of your lips,
I am sweeter than molasses!!!!


Lo admito,
que en verdad
soy agria y desabría,
más en el almíbar de tus labios,
soy más dulce que la
melaza!

My pillow is jealous of you!!

Do you know?
My pillow is jealous of you,
she does not understand, that only in your arms,
in the heat of your embrace, time no longer reigns.  

My pillow is resentful of you!
she does not understand, that the unwavering insomnia,
turns in to  amazement... fascination that you're there,
sheltering away my fears of the dark night,
with your loyalty and strength, protecting me, even in my dreams,
as a mother protects her child,
because s/he is afraid of monsters living under the bed.  

You know?  
My pillow is distrustful of you!  
My skin unintentionally scolds her.
It’s just that, she’s not as encouraging as you,
she’s not as warm as you,
she lacks the incandescence that you provide,
the simplicity in how you catch,
all my demons right before I go to sleep.
She doesn’t kiss or hug like you do.
She doesn’t understand that in your scent,
you inject harmony into my soul  

She is apprehensive of you!
I have tried to explain to her, to not feel bad,
if I only look for her, when you’re away.
That she knew from the beginning, the terms of engagement,
she knew that, she is a friend,
who helps me pass the loneliness you leave,
when you’re not around.
That like a good friend, she’s to tug me,
when I cry for any nonsense.
But that she is not you, and you never will be.  
That I could never leave or replace you.  
That, it’s in your arms,  that I find normalcy and happiness.
In that magical space between your strong muscles and your heart, I find all the allegiance of the universe,
which fills me with peace,
which returns me to kindness.

That you frighten my insomnia away with a passionate kiss,
that my insomnia turns into astonishment and gratitude,
for the love that your scent injects into my soul,  
allowing me to sleep, in peaceful harmony.

Mi almohada es celosa

¿Sabes?
Mi almohada vive celosa de ti,
ella no entiende, que solo en tus brazos,
en el calor de tu regazo,
se acaban los plazos.

Mi almohada esta resentida contigo,
ella no entiende, que el intransigente insomnio se convenirte en asombro..
fascinación de que estés ahí,
acobijando con tu fidelidad y fortaleza,
mis miedos a la oscura noche,
Protegiéndome hasta en mis sueños,
como protege la madre a su niño,
porque le teme a los monstruos que habitan debajo de la cama.

¿Sabes?
¡Mi almohada vive recelosa de ti!
Es que mi piel sin querer le regaña,
porque no es alentadora como tú,
porque no es acogedora como tú,
porque le falta la incandescencia que brindas tú,
la sencillez de atrapar todos mis demonios antes de dormir.
A ella le falta que bese
que abrace como tú, que vas regalándome tu aroma,
inyectando tu armonía en mí.

Si, ella vive insegura de ti.
He tratado de explicarle, que no se sienta mal,
si solo la busco cuando te ausentas.,
que ella sabía los términos de nuestra relación,
que ella es una amiga que me ayuda a pasar la soledad que dejas cuando te vas.
que como buena amiga, me abraza cuando me haces llorar por cualquier majadería.
Pero que ella no eres tú, y nunca lo será.
Que a ti nunca te podría dejar o remplazar.
Que solo en tus brazos encuentro felicidad y normalidad.
Que en ese espacio entre tus fuertes músculos
y tu corazón encuentro toda la lealtad del universo,
que me llena de paz,
que me regresa la bondad,
que espantas mi insomnio con un apasionado beso,
y mi insomnio, se convierte en asombro y agradecimiento,
por el amor que inyecta tu aroma, permitiéndome dormir en paz y harmonía .

Friendships come and friendships go,
some may wither, some may grow.

Some die from a careless word
and some from rumors one has heard.

Some fail when "connections" die
and some die from a toxic lie.

But some are nurtured from the start
by "fertilizer" from the heart,

loyalty and "being there"
when others fail, when they should care.

So, as a friend I'd truly be
always listening, if you need.
For a friend that's going through a tough divorce...
How can we attain the perspective of the introspective
When detectives aren't respected
By crowds drawn by clowns
Made vicious by the wishes
Of Hades with rabies

In order for humanity to progress
We must all consider our place in society
Emotional disclosure accelerates our human race
Until externalizations halt our momentum
We begin to drift
Discourse drifts toward absurdity
Absurdity drifts toward reality
Reality drifts toward Hell
And accepting reality
Means accepting the bullet's laughter
while it drifts through the innocent
Then we must accept where our souls have drifted
So our minds drift into fantasy
We wrap our abandon ties around our neck
And go to work

We live in a society
Where not giving a **** about what others think
Is actually encouraged
Yes, exchanging ideas can hurt
That's whiplash as we stop drifting and jolt in each other's direction
But communication
Takes detours to dead ends
As honesty and compassion
Elude us
In a self-perpetuating cycle
When education's only purpose
Is learning ******* each other
Before we know too much
Our species drifts toward extinction
Can be found in my self published poetry book “Icy”.
