It's sanctuary
Not too far from the front door
It's a castle
Where she's a princess
Waiting for her white knight
It's a jungle
Where treasures are buried
Taboo on every step
It's a mystery
Where clues need to be found
On who stole her last cookie
It's a cave
Where she can hide
When things go bump in the night
It's her bed
Where she finds bedtime stories
Are things of reality
In her unconscious state of solitude
It's a finish line
Where her race with work
Gets celebrated
It's her Friday night every night
Her Saturday morning cartoons
With breakfast in bed
It remembers her curves
Always knows when to hold on
And knows when to let go
So maybe that little twin
Can rest assure
It's the only thing she loves
At the end of every day
Got the idea from a friend
Robert Guerrero Jun 2017
On your mark
Get set
Go!
One foot in front of the other
How many years could I stay in front
How long could I stay first
In this foot race with death
Chasing breathes
Wanting to slow down
But either way
It seemed death stayed ahead
Got a tattoo to remind myself
Death will always win
I'm just taking detours
Visiting villages of my memories
I'm racing through my own life
And these seven seconds
Brought more joy then all my life held
Through all the sorrow
I still saw smiling faces calling me
Into an oblivion
Waiting to face my guilt and shame
Robert Guerrero Jun 2017
Every time I think if you
I want to play Russian roulette
Load every chamber
Punch the **** out of the trigger
I want your memories
Hunted out of my head
I want a noose on every voice
Your name slips
They all die
I'll have firing squads on standby
These flashbacks only bring gunplay
It's bad enough your blood rubs through me
But I'll chase your existence
With shovels and pistols
I'll mine these veins
All your cobblestone tainting
All my wealth buried
When you come around
I'll have plenty to erase you
Not even an idea of you will remain
Robert Guerrero Jun 2017
Youre a walking simile
Comparing you to the sun
A mere joke
Comparing you to the cosmos
Still not beautiful enough
A waterfall stretching out to horizon
As waves gently kiss the sky
Nothing compares
You're a deep metaphor
Understood by bodies
Felt in hearts
Rejected by minds
As ******* spread
How can you cause so much attraction
With only a sentence
You're the embodiment of poetry
Yet still defy the laws of human emotion
You tear our souls from flesh
Turn us into ink on paper dance floors
Youre a ***** secret
Naughty by nature
Loving embrace always on standby
Youre a mistress in the dark
A mystery hidden from the world
But someday I'll have to say goodbye
And you'll forget my name
In the pages of your soul
Robert Guerrero Jun 2017
As I peer into their new homes
The very ones I create
I see they flail and wonder
How small did their world become
Not too different then my own mind
Captured and tossed into a bowl
Only inches bigger than me
Waiting for the hand that feeds me
To throw me down a drain
Limp and lifeless
This little aquarium mind of mine
Works on it's own
But always wanting to swim
A little farther than the glass
Robert Guerrero May 2017
Maybe you'd be sadness
Crying tears too deep to comprehend
Ashes of your mourning
Leave winter freezing
If you were an emotion
Something says you'd be anger
Flurry of hands
An orchestra of left hooks
With a single right to play bass
If you were an emotion
Perhaps you would be happiness
A bundle of smiles
Still stroking the fires of life
How marvelous you would be
If you were an emotion
I'll place my bets on all of the above
And even then some
You're a whisper dancing on winds
Never knowing any outcome
But feeling life as it flows
If you were an emotion
I'd never be able to call you mine alone
But something still tells me
You'll always be in my heart
Robert Guerrero Apr 2017
You bow to only one master
You're heavenless edge
Knows only blood and strife
You ravage wrinkled villages
Execute orphans that witnessed pained
You modern samurai
When does your blood lust end
When does leaving scars
Stop turning into ******
Another swing
Another wrist torn open
Another slash
Another **** on hips meant to hypnotize
Our youth can't survive 
Your homicidal tendencies
They only want to be shown love
Yet you tempt them with teeth bore
Stealing midnight kisses 
In shadows of their tears
Awakening only more fears
You modern samurai
Lay down your sword
It'll only bring you more pain
No need for armor
Lend me your burdens
Bury your worries 
Sheath your past
Walk into a future
One designed by your own hand
No need for acts of seppuku
This world holds too many sorrows
Hiding from this life
You'll never be able to face death
You modern Samurai
Hold steady your ways of honor and courage
But fight no more
Grow old and wise
Teach the young the way
Of a swordless Samurai
