Helplessness into Strength
Jaee Derbéssy Feb 2016
There's a moment
where
people look into
your eyes
right
before they cry.
It's as if
they now know
that it is too late
to go back.
That you cannot
help them.

All they can do
is cry.

Una Tormenta
Jaee Derbéssy Apr 2015
While most people were
frightened,
even terrified,
by storms, I smiled.
I realized
that even the grand
and
majestic sky needed
to scream
at times.

Una Noche Lluviosa.
Jaee Derbéssy May 2015
As I lied next to her,
tracing the perfect lining
of her lips
with my fingertips.
Admiring its beautiful
texture, as times is frozen,
and profoundly lost
in her gaze.
Mesmerized by her being.
Flaws and all.

Runnin' from Dust
Jaee Derbéssy Apr 2016
And with each line that I write,
my imagination blooms
with stories engraved
in my mind of the many lives
I have ever lived.
Words become memories
that I vaguely
can recall;
but somehow I am sure
that's how it happened.

Diamond Rose
Jaee Derbéssy Aug 2014
The flow of her hair
is the same
as a river flowin' gently,
and as I close
my eyes
every time,
all I see is her image;
she's the sun,
my sun,
whenever the day
is rainy.
The texture of her lips
are formed
perfectly
from rare rubies.
We fell in love in a way
that most people
would say
it only
happens in the movies.
Her eyes
are two white diamonds
that can
pierce
your soul with one look,
she didn't
have to talk,
not even one word,
but with one look,
she spoke so many words.
And yes,
our love will be eternal,
a never-ending
romance,
just as a crystallized
rose;
it'll never age,
nor will it ever die.
And you would never
have to ask
me if my
love
for you would still
exist for you,
because
you would be my why.
Why I breathe,
why I live,
why I write poetry,
my love,
you would be my why.
And I know
for a fact that you
will always
be there
for me.
In my highs,
and in
my lows,
and because of all that,
I want you to know
that
I love you,
Diamond Rose.

Love her
                                               enough to
                                              keep her fire
                                                 burning.
Jaee Derbéssy Apr 2015
"Maybe, and only maybe,
I am much more stronger
than what I think,"
she thought to herself
as she removed
her mascara off,
staring at her cracked mirror
that dearly resembled
her heart for the betrayal
her beloved one
committed earlier
that day.

Self-control
Jaee Derbéssy Feb 2016
All this anger, what is it for?
You used to carry the fire
of your youth,
but now you lie alone,
numb to everything
that surrounds you.
When you wake up tomorrow,
where will you be?
Will the sun soak your skin
or will curtains keep you
tucked away for another year?

Does the uncertainty scare you?

It better.

Sinful Beauty
Jaee Derbéssy Aug 2014
And as solitude embraces
my ghostly soul,
your memory soothes,
yet destroys,
me to the very core of every bone.
Many moon cycles
have passed
since those
well-calculated
beautifully words that
you spoke so mindlessly
faded away to the stars
and never were to be seen,
nor heard of,
but left an entire world shattered
into a million,
if not billion,
tiny little pieces.
All that you really did leave
were words that will forever
be engraved
in this sinful heart of mine,
that not even
the bread of your Lord
could ever make me forget,
nor His holy wine.
Believing once that your love
was different,
that it was a pure blessing
but ended up realizing that it was
the same treachery
God's most trusted angel
committed against Him.

You were my sinful beauty.
I wrote this when the "situationship" that I had with this beautiful woman came to an end.

Edith, and the Stars.
Jaee Derbéssy Jan 2016
In her eyes,
and only
in her eyes,
could I ever
see
everything much
clearer.
It is as if
in her eyes
an entire different universe
was kept undiscovered.
And somehow
I knew-
I just knew-
my destiny was
written
in her hollow stars.
Jaee Derbéssy Dec 2014
I honestly dislike when people
say "Oh no, here comes all the 'New Year, New Me' crap.
I mean, wow. Really?
It's all good, you have all the right
to say anything that you would like to say,
but why rain down on someone else
who has the vision that they want to change their life.
That they want to better themselves.
Life isn't easy, and I do hope that all of you do know that,
but why rain down on someone
who is trying to want to change their life?
I'm pretty sure that there was once upon a time
in your life,
that you said
"New Year, New Me! This year
I want to do this and this, and that,"
and maybe you did start with the attitude
in wanting to better your life
in whatever form that you wanted,
but somewhere around the road
life kept building itself in frustration,
because that's what life does.
Build you up, and randomly takes you down,
but life is waiting for you to build yourself up
all over again
to make you stronger,
and it kept smacking you in the face
over and over again
and you kept smiling because
you were afraid
that you could have snapped real quick
and just quit and getting back
to your old-not so good-ways,
and I know that your intentions were good,
but you eventually gave up
and, if I may say, quit.
When you say
"Oh no, her comes the 'New Year, New Me' crap,"
you're in a way saying
that it never gets better.
That your life never changes.
Reflect and list your mistakes.
All of them that you committed this year.
And when you're done listing them,
read them over and ask yourself
what did you learn because of that situation?
We should all be learning something
everyday and when the year is about to end
and you're getting ready to flip over to a new chapter
in your life,
you know that you learned many things
that you didn't know when the year
was barely starting.
So maybe next time you say that,
how about just setting realistic goals for you
that would improve you to be a better version of yourself.

La Sirena y Su Amor.
Jaee Derbéssy Aug 2014
She came from
the unknown:
nobody knew
exactly where
she had come from,
but she always
looked out onto the sea,
as though
it were the only place
where
she felt safe.
The only place she only
knew.
Her love for the sea
was deep,
but misunderstood.
Yes,
the sea was her home;
but in his arms,
rested her
heart and soul.
Two worlds
colliding,
becoming one.
How their love
knew no bounds,
just that they both
knew
what they had was nothing,
but true love.
She belonged
to the sea;
her existence
belonged to the sea,
but her heart-

Her heart belonged to him.

She was
La Sirena and he was Su Amor.

The mermaid and her love.

I am a man.
I lust for many women,

my heart
craves for just one.
I don't know

what her name is,
or
where she's from?
All I know
is that
my heart craves for her.

dreams of her body,
my lips
lusts for her presence,
but my body
yearns for her voice.

Other Side of the Coin.

When I had nothing
and was completely broke,
she was the only one
who was there.
But when I finally had everything
that I had ever wanted-
The money, the cars, the houses,
but not her,
I realized that when I didn't
have any material object,
not a **** dime with my name on it,
I was the wealthiest man alive
because I had her by my side.

I can't help but to ask,
"Have you forgotten
all of those memories
that we both once had?
All of those dreams
that we both made up?
When everything,
including us,
was based
on forever?"

And now every night
I cry to the moon,
saying to Her,
"Do you remember us?
Do you remember how
I loved her tremendously?
Moon, you witnessed it all",
but all that the moon
does
is look the other way,
hiding Her tears.

Even the moon knew
you loved me . .

So as I was at work today,
this old man
asked for my assistance
and as I got closer
he squinted his eyes
and asked me,
"Are you someone important,"
and as soon as he asked that
I was more than puzzled
by his question.
Then he said something
shockingly,
"One day you'll be a Billionaire".
As soon as he said that,
I blushed like I have never blushed
ever in my life.
I asked him why?
He responded,
"Your name. You have an stupendous name.
Make sure you make the world remember it"!

Now that made my night and life!

Only wanting to feel

caress his wings,

hoping to find love.

Freedom and love.

Tragedy's Reflection
Jaee Derbéssy Aug 2014
Is my mind
playing tricks on me?
No.
It must be
this broken heart.
I live in a world
where
paper speaks,
where
if you don't have
a
green card,
families get torn apart.
A world
where
there's too many
mothers,
and not many
fathers.
Where someone
can easily walk in an
elementary school
and ****
twenty small children,
or
walk in
into a movie theater
and
open fire
killing many innocent
civilians
whose purpose
was to enjoy themselves
with
their loved ones.
Is anybody even
tryin' to prevent things
like these
from happening again?
How can we ****
Adam's and Eve's
children?
Our own
brothers and sisters.

*Time forgives,

people don't forget.

Jenny's Story.
Jaee Derbéssy Aug 2014
As the rain is falling
from the cloudy sky,
my tears
remember that horrendous night
when you laid
your hands on me for the last time.
Did I do anything wrong?
I always loved you,
tried my best to be the perfect woman
you wanted me to be,
but yet,
you couldn't see.
How could you harm someone
that you say
you love someone so much?
The one who carries
your seed.
You've seen me shed
tears.
You were the only one that
I loved
throughout
the years.
But I can still picture
that ****** night,
how
arguments
always led to fist fights.
When you used to come home
late drunk,
smelling
like women's perfume.
Knowing that I was always home,
cleaning,
cooking you meals,
washing your clothes,
and carrying your child inside my womb.
But everything
was never like this;
At the beginning you were
so kind and sweet.
So sweet
that I used to sneak out of my house
so we could always meet;
with you, I lost my virginity.
You were my one and only.
While you went out
to strip clubs
with your friends,
I was home.
Always home,
always feeling lonely.
All the abuse,
all the bruises,
and all the name calling,
I still stayed with you
because
you would always
promised,
you always swore,
that you were gonna change
all smiling.

All my friends
used to tell me to get away from you,
to leave you,
because
you were never going
to change.
That you were still going
to do
what you always do.
But when I finally decided
to leave you,
I packed all of my
belongings
and tried to leave.
Trying to leave in a hurry
'cause I knew
that if you came home,
things would get
very ugly.
But that day
you came home early,
exactly at 7:30.
That's when everything
got worse:
you pulled my hair,
starting hitting me,
punching me,
even when you knew I was pregnant,
then you kicked me
in the stomach.
Blood started coming out.
You had no remorse.
You said that if I were
to leave you,
you were going to **** me.
That I was never going to be free
because
I was your property.
You ran to get your gun,
but as you left,
I ran to the kitchen and grabbed
a ***,
hid beside the door
and when you started looking for me,
yelling my name,
you walked in the kitchen
and I hit you
as hard as I could.
You fell to the ground
and dropped
your gun.
I grabbed the gun
as fast as I could
and tried to run,
but you got up fast and grabbed me
from the hair
and pushed me to the ground.
You tried
getting the gun back,
but then . .

BAM, BAM

(The sirens crying)

There was blood everywhere..
That night
was the end of that
horrendous
nightmare.

You were dead.
This is a true story,
it happened to my cousin Jennifer.
It took her a year
for the verdict to say
that she acted upon self-defense.

If you know anyone that's being
abused,
physically or verbally,
or you, yourself,
is being abused,
there's a hotline called
**The National Domestic Violence Hotline**
that you can call at anytime.
