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.

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.

See the colors of the rainbow in the sky beautiful like your bright hazel eyes as it start to fade when your personality drop down. Don’t get your hope to high when people compliment your body or looks the colors of your DNA will slowly disappear making your vision unclear by your selfishness, money, and fame is the only possession desperation to be someone. Conceited mind is something not to smile about the poor are richer and the ugly are prettier their heart are more beautiful than you’re ever become. What happen when your colors goes black? It’s rots,  get old, alone, cold from head to toes, helpless, meaningless death is waiting to hear your heart beat sink with his arms wide open to hold you wrapping like a shroud around your pretty dead flesh it’s too bad your beauty was too much for your own good. Hope you like the decoration of your funeral, its sure look perfect to me was your obsession worth kissing the feet by the devil ?

I want you to wake up in the afternoon open your front door step outside and look up what do you see? Perfect blue sky with bright white clouds and a beautiful sun set shining through your eyes and enjoy your rest of your day. When night comes I want you to lie in bed and close your eyes but don’t fall asleep just yet. Get out of your bed and step outside the night and look up what do you see? Bright shining stars all around the sky as a shooting star passing you by as the moon brighten up your eyes. Always look at yourself in the mirror when you ever feel down, people change were all beautiful inside and out just like day and night. Don’t let anyone tell you that your not were all unique like planet earth.

Dear little one,
The day I saw you born you pour out a light brighter than the sun.
A feeling that burst of happiness I never felt before,
How this can be; something so small and pure was going to be something I would never thought I would truly adore.

For one so small you seem so strong,
And I’ll protect you even in the middle of a storm,
I will sing over you a new song,
And do my best to keep you safe and warm.

You have so many years ahead of you and I don’t know what your future holds,
But one thing I do know is that you’re going to have a heart of gold,
Child of mine there so much you need to learn,
Life can be simple like if you play with fire you’ll get burn.

The key is to be patient to be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, (James 1:19)
I will teach you everything I know because it a gift to have knowledge and wisdom,
I want to see you grow and teach you how to be humble for beauty is on the inside and you can change the world with all your mind of splendor,
Spreading the world with kindness and love with all the colors of autumn.

The day you get older you’re going to have these emotion of mix feelings,
Days of happiness days of heart breaks it won’t be easy pain can get stronger while wombs slowly be healing,
But you won’t go through this alone I will be there to comfort you through all these emotion you never knew you had that these are natural and I’ll be the one to tell you that everything would be alright,
Always here with open arms whether you run to me with joy or need to cry on my shoulder I’ll be there to hold you tight.

So, I tell you this no matter what you go through enjoy every day and never give up never quit because if you want something in life hard work is what count not by a wish,
Bonding with you and living every moment to moment like reading you stories or tucking you in to bed or simply making you laugh are moment I cherish.
Above all this love is important because love is patient, love is kind… it always protect, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres love never fails (Corinthians 13:4-8) it’s pure and true,
My dear little one I may not be around through your whole journey for death is part of life but I tell you this and let this sink in please that you love one another, as I have loved you. (John 15:12)
Jacob Cuadro

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.

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.

**By 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.

Miss home to a warm beach walking on the soft sand,
Where a place family and friends gathering enjoy the day holding each other by the hand.
Feel the rush of the ocean,
Swimming and feeling the dolphins the whales the fishes and every sea creatures emotions.

Love sitting and reading next to a palm tree,
Feeling the warm breeze.
There nothing like spending your day going out for fresh air while the random shower of rain starts to begin,
As you look up while the cool rain washes you away as the sun dries everything and the humidity atmosphere moisturize my skin.
AS you breathe and smell the sweet air,
With all the trees around you pouring there oxygen everywhere.

Looking up seeing the beautiful colors forming a rainbow,
Standing in awe as the colors brighten your eyes aglow.
As I dream for this every day for this beauty to make me rise,
Welcome to Florida paradise.
Jacob Cuadro

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!

**By Jacob Cuadro

Inside my chest there's something you can't take apart,
In the front side is the most warming heart.

But it's not the same in the back,
So cold and dark nothing but pitch black.

I dare you to test my patience and limits,
Because you never want to know what's behind it and you would never last a minute.

**Jacob Cuadro

You are an amazing woman and a great mother. You shine brighter than any light that exists. Even though you are facing one of the most difficult times in your life; cancer has nothing on your strong spirit. It will never fade, for you are strong and brave. You’re not battling this on your own because you have many loved ones. The greatest and most wonderful family are by your side. We are with you to encourage you with all the love and strength we have to help you heal. Once again, you will shine more than all the stars in the galaxy in the night sky. I admire you for letting nothing stop you from being happy in your life. The passion and love you have for others along with your strength will overcome all your obstacles. Look on the bright side… at least you don’t need shampoo! HAHAHA. Anyways, even though I’m not there, I can still see the sparkles of your sunbeams and your warm, beautiful grace in my dreams. Whenever you have a bad day or feel weak, you can borrow my strength. If you ever feel like hope is gone, you can borrow mine when you can’t go on. My love is here for you through these words to offer you protection from all things. I love you so much, keep fighting, stay strong, you are not alone. You have your family with unlimited hugs, kisses and all the love you need to hold you right where you belong.
**Jacob Cuadro

You are like my own roller coaster it start with the belt strap in as the ride start to go looking up at the sky remind me of you as your love that goes so high. Making me feel like I can touch the soft cotton clouds, a sweet smell of roses surrounding the atmosphere. Causes without you I’m a lost bird sitting on a nest alone waiting for mama bird to pass by, ready to flap my wings but can’t cause you’re not there to encourage me how to fly. Would love to be a magnet stuck on a refrigerator door meaning I be right beside you dear. Without you the sun doesn’t rise, without you the stars doesn’t shine why did you have to leave? Did I ever cause you pain cause if I did maybe you do deserve a better man. I know we struggle like a ride that it’s up and down, we have our fights but we can make it work that keep us stronger. Until you are here to kiss your lips I’ll be a lost bird waiting to fly.

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.

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.

**By Jacob Cuadro

Oh, how I remember the day that you were born,
To find out the condition you were going to be in I felt completely torn,
But the most precious and beautiful moment I held you in my arms,
I will be every step of the way to love you to guide you and keep you away from any harm.

Year after year I have been blessed to see you grow,
From a little girl to the woman, you grew up to be,
As your grandfather if I have not told you there is no regrets in raising you day by day there was nothing that brought me more joy than to see you glow,
You may have a lot of differences than others but does not change how precious and strong you are no matter how hard it seems.

Within my heart are happy memories,
Of a perfect love that you gave to me,
Through our life we have seen our share of ups and downs,
Death is part of life, but it isn’t fair sorry you had to witness my final moments in an instant how quickly life can turn around.

But it my time to reach through heavens gates and fly,
To finally be with my lovely wife,
It feels so good to reunite,
And see how bright you really shine,
Feels like forever hello my love we meet again,
It has been a while where should we begin?

The feeling of your body heat is so soothing oh how you feel so warm
Each day I can feel you expanding for every piece of me to transform
Love dancing in your womb hearing the echo of my voice singing a new song
Your calmness the peace oh how wonderfully its is inside your womb what can go wrong.

A strange feeling started happening I can feel your distress things are becoming fragile and starting to feel like the winter
The water around me is so cold and it’s making me go blind
My body aching and hurting so much as I’m starting to get blisters
As the excruciating pain starts to crawl over all over my spine.

Mommy hold onto to me make it go back to the feeling of autumn
I feel all alone and I’m starting to sink to the bottom
Everything is so dark and time is going on and on feels like forever
I once had a dream that I replayed over and over again of you holding and kissing me that I’m by your side and all the possibilities we can do together.

Everything seems so bitter the atmosphere of your sorrow I can tasted in your tears
My whole body feels boated and weary all around is this fear
I can the darkness creeping up getting closer mommy please keep me away from any harm
Mommy can’t’ you hear my screams? Can you feel them ripping my arm?



Calling your name feeling so hopeless please don’t let me die here,
Feeling so lost I can see though you hiding your betrayal,
Limb after limbs drowning in my blood, I can hear my own scream echoing back into my ears and everything still so unclear,
Then started to have a vison of a man, of a messiah that was slash thirty-three stripes and hung driven by nails.

Hear him calling saying my child your suffering will no longer be anymore,
There was a warm sensation of seeing heaven opening their doors,
He carries healing in his hands his voice makes me see again saying child no longer will you be alone,
For you will be right next to me in heaven throne.
Mommy it hurt more to know it was you that you I’ve been betrayed,
But all I wanted to say is that I forgive you and that I love you and I’m no longer afraid,
I did my best to hold on to fight to my death,
I no longer can stay this is my end this is my final breath.


P.S Mother I probably will never know your reasons; or your overthinking doubts,
But just wanted to let you know that I feel more alive than ever before everything seems so clear and true, I’m at paradise above all the clouds,
Hope some day we’ll meet again, probably be all grown up by then but all of my thought will be of you and will send pictures of me in your dreams with my arms wide open holding each other,
Will always love you forever wish it would have been the other way around be by each other side holding me when I cry being the best person you can be I know deep in my heart you’ve of been a great mother.
by Jacob Cuadro

My love where did you come from? You literally came out of nowhere did you drop from the sky, never seen something shine so bright that your gleam just reflects in my eyes. Your comfort keeps me so calm, and I always feel safe when I'm wrapped inside your arms. Being around you keeps my heart so warm, without you I was so lost in my head with so many thoughts but you found me and washed away my storm. So grateful that you came into my life there is no doubt that I will always be with you till the very end LOVE you baby.

**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

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

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.

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.

By Jacob Cuadro

Life is like poetry every word you speak should come from the heart but if you don’t say what you mean then you’re wasting your breath. You speak with fear then you’re feeling scare, speak with sorrow then you get a tear, joy and happiness come with a smile. Words can attack your mind messing with your emotions feeling the madness speaking with aggression words are here words are there surrounding the world like breath of air. Be careful how you speak and what you feel words are everywhere and there are real, explore life and give poetry a try cause earth have emotions just like you have it within you.

I have a gift of words, but a gift can also be a curse. - **Jacob Cuadro

I’m not the man who I use to be,
Because I gave up on myself and this world so I called on your name,
With your holy word you have set me free,
My old self is in the past and my past is forever gone as my guilt fades and no longer feel the shame.

I realize that I was covered in this filthy stain,
Bounded by these heavy chains,
Breaking it off lifting my hands to you feeling your amazing grace pour like rain,
From every fingertip washing away my pain.

I’ve been selfish and committed great sins but you’ve showed me nothing but love,
You’ve been faithful all of my days you are the lamb,
My god the maker of heaven above,
You are the great I Am.

Bow down in your presence I give you my heart lift my voice and give you glory,
Because you are worthy, you are mighty and you are holy,
You rewrote my story becoming a brand new man and setting me free,
For that now I’ve been redeemed.
