Shallow

Shallow Feb 2018

For what does the hummingbird weep?
For the lost and forsaken souls?
For the trepidation of mortals?
For the embers of brisk passion?
For the lashes of the night warden's whip?
For the eternal brace of hurt?
For the rantings of a madman?

Or is what the hummingbird weeps for not of this nature?
Could it be that the nature is of a nature from which nature's motherly embrace accepts?

Could the hummingbird weep for the mild tranquility of said mother's embrace?
Or for the warm glow of a homely flame?
Or for the amber shine of dancing stones?
Or for the soft brush of lovers' lips?
Or for the faint cry of a newborn in the arms of such lovers?
Or for the quiet persistence of solidarity?
Or for the peace of acquainting serenity?

Truly, the gentle tears of the hummingbird
Are born of a passion true to mine own
For these gentle tears of the hummingbird
Are the same as the trails of ink that roll off my page

You are never alone. / Nunca estás solo.

What I Once Believed

I once believed in a principle.
That loss gave birth to something new

I once believed in the dark.
And that from the dark comes the light
And light prevails, as I prevail
But then why does the darkness return?
But if the light has foresaken me then
Has the light forsaken me?
Why have you forsaken me?

I once believed in the light.
But the light failed me.
The light gave birth to the flames
The flames of my tragedy
I hate the light.
It left me here in this dark room.

I once tried to find the light in this room,
But they have all been unplugged.

You are never alone. // Nunca estás solo.

The Runner

This unspoken vow-
To be intercepted as,
To be an illogical manner,
For an illogical manner,
As those with this manner so,
Illogical-unforgettable
But as fate commands
And as mandated by God's breath
To speak this final breath
And tell- with- final- breath-
The once-forgotten breath of a goodbye

For my friend of the summer who moved away and shall I never see her again, at least can I hear her say good-bye? // Para mi amiga del verano que se mudó y nunca más volveré a verla ¿pero puedo oírla decir adiós?

Gallows

Run freely again
Nevermore bound, with last breath
A necklace of rope

Everyone deserves to live their best life and to have the support of friends and family. If you know anyone who is struggling to find themselves or is lost please get help. // Todos merecen vivir su mejor vida y contar con el apoyo de amigos y familiares. Si conoces a alguien que está luchandose por encontrarse o se pierde, busca ayuda.

Fate

Times are:
He wishes upon no change
For the clock to turn its face
So lips do as those do who dare to be silent
So hands do as those do who dare to be still

As he can stop none of inevitable,
As he mourns of predestined strings,
As a marionette stands alone,
He too stands alone.

You are never alone. // Nunca estás solo.
