People are like books you can’t judge them by their covers,
Everyone has their own unique beauty than others.

You don’t know their story till you open the first page and start reading what it’s about,
As their words fill your eyes like 3D popping out.

So before you start judging open their books first,
Getting to know someone can always be pleasant or it can be for the worst.

Have you ever wonder what happen while you’re a sleep? Pitch black and nothing to see monsters gathering together standing patiently next to your bed. To share a special kid for a meal to eat, the tooth fairy is waiting to collect all your teeth and the boogie man still live under bed haunting your dreams. Make sure you close your closet door because you never know what will come after for your soul, a funny feeling that you’re not becoming whole. And the moment waking up in the middle of the night opening the door hearing little footsteps echoing though wall, a shadow creature creeping down the hall. Keeping you up late at night eyes popping out of your socket, pupil stretching your eyelids begging for this nightmare to stop of these horror monsters surrounding my mind. Suddenly I froze when I hear the scariest voice I ever heard whispering my name, saying you are mine to claim. Don’t cry now it all be over soon no light will ever save your life just one more prey dies today on these sheet of flesh and doom for my last collection of my masterpieces and that my child is definitely you.

We been together five long years with a beautiful, gorgeous daughter,
She brings the child in both of us she our little joker,
There are never any regrets in the choices I made to be with you through all the arguments through all the obstacles and struggles from good time to bad,
To every emotion from joy and happiness even from anger and sad.

This is the hardest decision in my life that I ever had to make,
Splitting up isn’t going to be easy for the both of us to leave you and our daughter when the time come to be set apart,
I know the pain it going to cause me the hurt in my chest even though there going to be times my heart going to break,
But I just want to let you know that no matter what happens that I will always have a deep place of you in my heart.

You are so strong your capable of so many things you’ve broke obstacles and never realizes you have won them you have a big mind and so may dreams,
Through the mountain you must climb don’t give up no matter how hard it might seem,
You can do all things just keep your mind focus keep pushing through and the most important is that you got to believe,
I don’t want this to be the end of us even though we may be apart I still want to see your goal and see you live your dreams I still want to be there to see you achieve.

Just wanted to let you know for me leaving has to do with spiritual reasons you did nothing wrong and have no fault in this,
When this time comes for me being away, I have faith that our relationship can get stronger but if we don’t ever get back together, I understand and I hope that we can grow another relationship and become best friends and I hope when you are ready that you find love again and find the one,
You and especially our daughter has been the best thing that has ever happen to me you girls help me grow so much the man and father I’ve try to be everyday there no words that can describe how much you girls change my life you are beyond my bliss,
There something I do want to say that important and I’m going to real with you through the past five years I’ve been with you I have dealt with being accuse and blame of thing I had no fault in. The feeling of shame of treating you unfairly or encouragement I’ve try to give you but somehow you take it as a negative point of view, or the exhausting overwhelming feeling of your anxiety, fear, low self -esteem, depression and so on the things you fight within. I’m no angle myself but all the things you have put me through have taught me this is to be patient and that love is a choice, all these years that I’ve stayed is because I love you that much. Let’s pat ourselves on the back that it’s been five long great years with a twist that with all the struggles we overcame a lot together I feel like we’ve won.

P.S God love you unconditionally meaning when no one cares or when no one there when there no support or in life when you believe you don’t have a purpose or just don’t have a clue, ‘’God said before I formed you in your mother womb, I knew you.’’ (Jerimiah 1:5)
When you feel like there’s weight on your shoulder and life is hitting you hard and everything seems to be crashing down, with your head spinning round and round and feeling broken,
God holding your hand and he right there beside you if you give him a chance Jesus is the living water that can flow within you like the waves of a crystal blue ocean,
I will admit that you and I have both experience suffering and that we both have felt like we’ve been in a tunnel in complete dark,
But God is the light at the end of the tunnel and to see it and reach for it you simply must open your heart.

No matter what your decision you make in your life I’m truly happy for you of the things you’ve overcame and the person and mother you’ve become and much more I am, and God is proud,
So, a toast to the long journey we had together and possibly much more in the future to come but until then goodbye for now.

Four years have passed and I can say it went by pretty fast.

A final day to look back and know how far you’ve come, maybe just a peek of your success in what you have done.

Now it’s time for your graduation waiting desperately patiently walking down the aisle for your diploma, a symbol of everyday formula.

You already learned the golden rule, ready to use knowledge as your tool.

Now you can be free to set the stage, like a life book for every page.

I can really say I am a proud brother in what you’ve achieved, that you came this far all these years.

There so many careers out there for you to choose, whatever you choose I will be on that path to support you to make your dreams come true.

You completed the beginning of life; you have the intelligence, the will and the power, everything combined and more.

I love you sis in my eyes and heart you’ll always shine!

I remember the day I kissed your lips when I look into your eyes I reach the stars and I love it when I hug you tight because I can feel your heart so close to mine. And when the day break as day goes by I think of you almost all the time, and I know this was a one night stand but please hear me out cause only going to say this once. There so much I haven’t discovered your love so tall like the Eiffel tower, where a magical place where two souls collide. You’re so perfect in every way; you’re so beautiful you don’t even have to try so give a chance to show you what I can really do. A love so strong that make you blush, a love your never regret it doesn’t hurt to try something new. We can be like ocean waves or falling skies whatever you chose I be happy either way cause that moment we had was an amazing night a strange love you probably never forget.

Dear young poet you had discover that you have an amazing gift, a gift of words,
As your mind will start to think freely and spreading like beautiful wings of a bird.
But you have a long way to go for you are still learning,
To explore the gift of poetry as your hands to paint your art of words the mind of your creativity piece by piece of your journey.

But having a gift can also be a cures,
You can open the deepest darkest and happiest part of your mind,
It can be better or can be for the worst.
Your emotions makes who you are let your imagination create something perfectly with your words. With your words, maybe your mind and your hands can probably stop time.

**JacobCuadro

There’s a saying that words can hurt, which If you let it cover all over you with worm crawling disgusting dirt. Than yea you can say that but I find this false info, it’s  hard to see through something when you have a ***** window. Same thing with words they can always be turned around people may hit you with the fact that you may think it’s true saying that your ugly, weak, poor, alone, sick, coward, dumb, depress, turn these words inside out and what do get ?

Ugly = Beautiful
Weak = strength
Poor = Rich
Alone = Love
Sick = Heal
Coward = Brave
Dumb = Smart
Depressed = Happy

It’s a choice to have words cover you up but another to find and pull them inside out you are your own mind don’t let others control it.

**By Jacob Cuadro

Change, change is coming too soon;
Oh how all my years I never thought or see this coming
But my mind seems to be open and everything is starting to bloom
That I feel something deep down inside of a new man I’m becoming.

Being with a woman that created something so beautiful she cured my darkness into light
Her love surprises me every day and never fails
When my eyes lay on her it’s always a wonderful sight
That this seems to be unreal feels like it just a fairy tail.

Our love became so strong, so pure and passionate that we created a new being that soon to be born;
My life is changing every month seeing that baby girl grow
Oh! How I can’t wait to hold her and make her feel so warm
To teach her the knowledge of everything I know.

I’ll be in a new place my new ways with my darling my queen and raising our princess and take this journey across a thousand miles;
Never in my wildest dreams that I’ll be having a family of my own
Just the thought of it gives me the biggest smile
And now I can finally say that I’m here in my new home.

*Jacob Cuadro

Peace or dark words that pollute the air,

Observe the Knowledge of creativity and the imaginations for the world to share.

Evolve with the meditation of words to strengthen your mind,

Tome a secret place where you can hide and have your adventure of words to build that you can’t find.

Rejuvenate the art that you create in your mind to paint the world of new life and energy that you bring,

Yoke words that brings people in this world together to reunite peace and love because poetry is everything.

Guns and knives are for coward’s pens are for me, you can beat me down to a ****** pulp my bruises and my scars will fade weapon of words is all I need. My breath will lead you to a trail of darkness of the hall way broken lights from your weeping mind and your sinking heart falling to the abyss, a pain of fiery flames way beyond measure of your imagination begging with desperation for a different ending. My words will curse you haunt your dreams for all internally emotions of guilt and sins feed my starvation stomach those who will bow down before me. Like political peoples,  speakers, dictators, and of course presidents  who choose their words wisely with there lies in the air making  fools believe whatever they want them to hear, so who need guns and knives when words are the most powerful weapons in all of mankind.

Your smile makes the roses grow your laughter make them bloom when I’m with you I never feel alone, you remind me of space cause you’re the whole solar system. The earth is the beauty of your description and everything that you are worth, Your eyes make the stars shine simply take my tears and fill them with joy and I’m glad that your mine. Feel like I’m Pluto a small blue cold rock because I’m not worthy of having you, but you turn thing around and make me feel like Jupiter so big nothing can take us apart. When I make love to you feel like a shooting star making my heart beat race to a secret land near by a warm desert sand, you’re the light to the sun bright as the moon, you’re the trees that I breathe your everything to me. You’re the ring of Saturn that hold us together and make the galaxy sing, when I’m not with you anymore that how know the world is going to end. I thank you to be part of my life and amazing friend, my memory of you will never fade we will no longer be a shade, thank you for making me feel worth something again.

I had this dream wishing everyone can disappear and woke up with this biggest fear. Went down stair call out mom and dad no answer Jenny, Henry (my sibling) still no answer. Now I’m concern am I still dreaming or did my wish came true? Heard my door bell ring, A small box on the ground with a note on the side, feeling suspicious but took the box anyway and place it on the kitchen counter, open the box and it look sort of like a button The note read your wish came true but you don’t have to be alone you press this button and you’ll have a wish that definitely be granted. But an unknown consequence might occurred be careful what you wish for. My brain is boiling, my heart is pounding for this confusing nonsense that doesn’t make any sense all I want is my family back and everything the way it was. As my hand nervously start to shake as I press the button, with a flash appear right before my eyes with in second there they were. The biggest joy and a smile on my face seeing my family hugging and laughing they turn to me with a smile as my arms wide open ready for a huge hug. They walk toward me and went right though me like I was invincible seeing my self-start to fade away slowly but surely couldn’t breath as my light become dark and appear back in my room again no doors just a brick walls. Tears drip down from my eyes realizing there no escape.

I can smell the air crystal clear, with my lungs full of your strawberry peaches flavor perfume surrounding the atmosphere. Love your minty breath breathing around my neck, putting my hand on your hips getting near your ear whispering thing you want to hear. As I look into your spot light eyes that shine and reflect though mine I can have this moment every night. When my lips connect with yours the love making we have feels like unknown forming galaxies just for you and me. No one around no distraction just the lust of us and your moaning voice echoing though my soul as we become whole. Your affection is so strong is like a cupid shooting an arrow though my heart a wonderland of you loved that never ends.

**By Jacob Cuadro

It bin years I haven’t see your beautiful face. I miss the way your eyes shine like stars at night, miss the way your hair smells like roses on a summer day. Waking up every morning seeing the sun rise remind me of your smile, and if I said I love you hundred times before, expect a thousand more but you took that away. I gave you my heart and soul treated you like the queen that you were but you took my heart instead, feeling empty and for gotten. Didn’t see my love but you saw what others thinks, you can keep my broken heart to remind you how selfish you are. Found something that I want is seeing you getting weak day after day as I take your greedy, selfish personality and shatter into your brain, tears running down your eyes feeling the pain of your cold sorrow heart. Your guilt of long lasting regrets will replaced the years we have spent this will be my only and new true love.

Come, come closer, and enter in a world that is against each other. Don’t get me wrong you will have people the will love one another, but someday they will stab you in the back knowing you won’t be able to escape their traps. Feeling powerful but fooled, falling by the darkness night desperate to reach what you so call light. Hypnotize by the spark of fire one touch and you’ll burn to ashes and dust, probably do anything to survive when the world is about to end flashing right before your eyes. We as humans think were so big and on top of the world, but literally were small like tiny little ants. Not aware were the one causing this pain, a final day to have a blood of rains, planet earth doesn’t have a specific year for it end it’s the ants so call us making that happen. So wash from what is going around us not realizing where our sins are taken us in a world this is against each others.

I give it all to find you
Where it’s the land or the sea
For all the things that you do
No matter how far you are that where I’ll be.

Was I moving too fast ?
Here I stand
Please try to leave it all in the past
Now as I am a broken man.

Walk this street alone
How did we go wrong
Without you I can’t make it on my own
All the time we spend is now all gone.

Remembering the day you set me free
I am always one step behind from falling down
Now I’m on my knees
Through all these crashing sounds.

Starting to blur and fade
Feeling the movement of the floating sea
And hurting inside with my long lasting regrets stabbed by a blade
As I look at the sky reaching my hand out to you begging you to rescue me.

I met this perfect stranger her face glows like the bright blue skies and her eyes shine like a crystal gem. Met her at coffee shop saw her sitting reading her book, as I was walking toward her nervously as her beauty just take my breath away. I introduce myself and we started to communicate, few days has pass by as we keep meeting at the coffee shop to talk some more, Ask for her number she agreed to give it to me and we decide to go on our first date. A classic simple movie dinner date, and when it was over drove her to hear house and walk her to her front door as my nerves started to shake and blood stared to race when we had our first kiss. Years has pass and met the woman of my dreams, till this day she still make me feel like we still have met for the first time. She make me smile every day I couldn’t ask more for a perfect gift, you are everything to me and you make my life complete, you are the love of my life you’re the one for me. Here I am as I get on my one knee with tears on my eyes to ask you four words that will change my life, will you marry me? As I get butterfly when she says I due.

Walking in the woods alone in the dark, the only sound I hear are wolves howling for my heart. No around besides spirits running through the night no is watching except owls above my head there no light in my eyes, only the stars across the shadow skies. It’s cold and windy leaves are trembling brown and helpless no oxygen in the air can’t hardly breathe ran into a black wall, waking up a creature that ten feet tall. Eyes and teeth start to appear saliva dripping down its mouth waiting to eat my soul tears comes down my body start to shake, when the creature roars making an earthquake. This monster eating my guts carving my skull with its blades of claws screaming in agony pain squishing my organs like a wine press, asking myself how I got into this mess. Left for dead as I drown, with my yoke of blood all over Satan ground. Got caught, by his fire hands then woke up with this nightmare of thoughts.

**By Jacob Cuadro

Every year I go back to the very beginning dreaming back inside your womb again evolving piece by piece feeling everything. The gravity, the space of your belly that start to grow, waves of your fluid rotating around me to dance in, the heat in your body keeping me warm, the vibrations of your booming beating heart. Hearing your voice echoing when you speak to me that sound like a sweet melody of a harp, the blood circulating through my veins, and the memory of your beauty forming in my brain. Felt your pain I cause you suffering and struggling to bring me in a brand new world, seeing your light that reflect in my eyes that shines like a pearl. The feeling of your soft fingers and hands holding me as I curl, and the first time my lungs were expanding gasping for air, the tickling wind In my ear of your words in prayers. Remembering the taste of your milk in my mouth that helps me fall asleep, thank you for all the thousands kisses I can still feel on my cheeks. The emotional of happiness of family and people in the room, spreading like a flower that blooms, just want to say I always be in the palm of your hand and I love you mom Happy Mother Day.

Close your eyes feel the blood and flesh dripping form your mouth feeling the sweet revenge on your hands. Bullies that made you tears everyday with bruise on your face, refusing to look at yourself in mirror thinking what I did wrong to cause this pain. I don’t think there is a thing call love where all you see in this world is full of hate and dust falling from the darkness skies as shadows passing you by. Can’t help your body stop trembling of fear hearing little voices whispering you can’t do anything. But one day I let my demons took matter into my own hands feeling the anger building inside me. Smelling there blood from miles away feeling my hands through there thick skulls. And that when I realize this is where the river ends.

I’m so lost in my mind from the loneliness night of a moment in time like a mystery from the lock less monster that never been discovered, I got to reach the light but the darkness behind keep pulling me down leading me to nowhere. Feel the core underneath the earth burning my skin of my horrible sins to the negativity so blind from the mist of their stupidity. So far gone trapped in this world locked in so tight waiting to be wind from this filthy box. Could hardly breathe, could hardly speak surrounded by dark voices stuck in my head whispering secret syllables, secret codes, of a secret language something I’m not quite understand of their garbage breath. Wishing for something so call hope don’t know if that word even exist anymore, have to unlock this pain of my own escape causing my depression to the road back to the direction of my addiction. Having a past vision a memory in my head of lust of women’s with green money falling in my hands all the drugs I smoke all the white powder of ******* I’ve sniffed to give me a boost of *** drive when I needed, there so many feminine hearts surrounding me at my feet that I have broken because of my adultery. Have tears of hate that I always regret no will, no purpose in life for the selfish man that I have become. If I can take it all back in what I’ve done I totally would in a heartbeat, just feeling so cold like a dead body that start to decay and the only light I see that speck in my eyes is the moon that glows like rose that stand alone rotting old in black like it had too much sun. Just like my soul that falling apart feeling the numbness of heroine  that flows in my blood helpless, meaningless stab a thousand time by my angry veins and starting all over where I was left off and that when I realize the ache I can’t escape.

Death is not an ending
It’s a new beginning. - *Jacob Cuadro

No one knows who you are better than your dreams,
If they want they can even make you scream.

They know your every fear,
They can make a river of your every tears.

They can remind you and bring back your past,
To bring you down and make you feel that you can never last.

Dreams know the truth deep inside,
And they won’t let you live with a life full of lies.

When you lay to sleep and you take your last blink,
They can create your imagination and know every movement in what you think.

But you don’t realize that your dreams are you,
There just right behind you following everything you do.

The beauty about dreams is that they can be change and that change is entirely up to you,
Don’t let dreams follow you turn around and chase them and make your dreams come true.

Only you can have this desire,
To be unstoppable and build your own fire.

Dreams are just a creation that forms in your head,
And it all start the moment you close your eyes laying in your bed.
