Mom
Gary Zambrano Aug 2021
Mom
It has been ten years
since you gone, time flies
my pain is still the same
my heart is still broken

I miss you like the first day
when you left to be with God
I don't know
what was his rush
I couldn't say good bye,
when I arrived,
you were gone

Time doesn't heal pain
what a lie,
it just push it down
until is time
to resurface again

I been here so many times
with tears all over my face
thinking, dreaming
about what
could it been if
you were here

I know life doesn't go back
doesn't matter how much
you want it, doesn't matter
how much it hurts,
it moves on
and far from yesterday

All I wanted was for you
to be happy, and to heal
your pain, I really hope  
I helped in some way
you did so much for me
I will never forget

Short lived romance
Gary Zambrano Feb 2021
Yesterday someone
asked me for you
at first I didn't know
what to say, but then
beautiful memories
came back to my mind
memories of you and me
from our amazing time

I remembered you and me
dancing in the rain, letting
the drops of water touch
our souls and heart
to the bit of the most
romantic song
that we wish it never stopped
but, it did and
we drifted apart

our romance was short lived
but intense at the same time
who would it though,
life had other plans
for you and me
that we couldn't
change or stop

I wish you are happy
and I hope
he makes you smile, and treats you well, you deserve much more than what
I offered you in
our short lived romance.....

A Lie and a Dream
Gary Zambrano Nov 2021
If you could only see
what I see, when
I look at you
you will fall in love
with me, the way
I felt for you

If you could only feel
what I feel when
you are next to me
you would realized
how fast you make
my heart beat

maybe, I should
wake up from this  
beautiful dream
and accept my life
without you
but is so hard, so
I pretend and
I live between a lie
and a dream

some call me crazy
but they do not
understand this is
my way to heal from
my shattered dreams
and my broken heart

Time
Gary Zambrano May 2021
Time took my deepest love
ripped my heart in half
erased the smile
from my face
took my dreams and
broke me
until it made me cry
like I never cried before
time left me on the ground gasping for air and life
almost ready to take my last breath, almost ready to quit
time did all of this to me

time kept marching on and
little by little, I was able to catch my breath, I stood up
shook myself up and kept waking without knowing where was I going or
what was next

Life has its twist and turns
and time became my friend
I recovered my strength
my smile came back
and with it
my dreams emerged again
time handed me
a second shot
made me a stronger person
made me a better man
now is time for me to create
the world that lives
inside my heart.......

Just another day
Gary Zambrano Mar 2019
Just another day thinking of you
wishing you were here with me
in my mind I have you next to me
we are talking and laughing
then I wake up
my bed is empty, I feel sad
I don't know
how to bring you here with me
I wish your arms
were wrap around my body
I wish I could hug you
kiss you, I keep imagining you
you're beautiful
you're passionate and ****
you want to do so many things
but when I open my eyes
you are not here with me
where are you?, only you know
but if you can hear me
please come here with me
I'm looking for you
I'm waiting for you
I don't know if you will read this
or if anyone will tell you
about it, but if you do, know
I will be standing here
waiting for you
with my heart in my hands
so that you can make it whole
and bring him back to life......

I never thought
Gary Zambrano Aug 2021
I never thought
I could feel what
I felt for you
I could not describe it
with words,
some called it Love

I never thought
you could cause me
so much pain and hurt
the way you did

I never thought
I could find so much
happiness, thru your smile
so contagious, so alive

I never thought
that one day
your fake smile
will erase the happiness
from my face and heart

I never thought
a woman could change
my world in such a way
we created a paradise

I never thought
that you could destroy
my world, the way you did
there is nothing left

I never thought
that in my
search for love
I will also find
so much hurt
you made me
believe in love
then, you broke
my heart
in pieces, and
walked away

WHY
Gary Zambrano Feb 2020
WHY
Why did your eyes stop
reflecting my image
Why did your smile
disappeared from your face
even though you were
in front of me
You were fading away
a little bit at the time
What happened to us?
We were so happy and in love
the night before
making plans, building
dreams that now
will never come to pass,
I don't understand
When did love flew
away from us
How do I tell my heart that you
will not join us tonight,
I don't know
I feel your absence and
it hurts inside
You are my greatest lost
our memories, I will keep them
they will survive the
test of time
always remember you are
my most beautiful
memory of real love and
you will always live
inside my heart

A big part of me
Gary Zambrano Dec 2020
A big part of me left with you
and your beautiful smile
that complemented mine
those bright eyes that gave
me light in my darkest nights.

A big part of me left with you
today looking at our pictures
it took me back, to those days
when we had big dreams
for our magical love..

A big part of me left with you
that I will never get back
now they became memories that will live here in my heart.

A big part of me left with you
I pray to God,
to keep you safe
and to help you find what my heart and soul
couldn't give
you will always live here
inside my broken heart.

Yes, I am a Dreamer
Gary Zambrano Mar 2021
Yes I'm a dreamer
that's the part you never understood from me
that's the most beautiful
part of me, I'm a dreamer
I used to dream about
you and me together
in this beautiful paradise
I used to dream
of kissing you all night
I used to dream of walking
on the beach with you dancing under the rain
  with you, I used to dream
of you and me crossing
the finish line together
you never understood me
you don't know
how to dream
  Yes, I'm a dreamer and
I will never apologize for it because being a dreamer has made me who I am today
I know you no longer here
you said you couldn't be
with someone like me
a dreamer, so you left
I was hurt when you did
but, I survived. know this
I am still a dreamer, with a
heart full of love and
a dream to come to pass

Here I am
Gary Zambrano May 2021
Here I am again
in this place that
I don't recognize
in this quiet room
with an empty bed

Here I am again
seeing my dreams
all so far away
like someone
took them
and run with them

I try to make sense
of all of this,
but my mirror
laughs back at me,
I guess it doesn't
know how much
all of this hurts,
but is OK

I rebound from worst
some left me for dead,
but the fighter in me
won't give up
because he knows, that my
kingdom is not far from here

I miss you
Gary Zambrano May 2020
I miss you

On those terrifying nights
when I can't sleep or when
I have those crazy dreams
Just to wake up and realize
that my bed is empty
you are not longer here with me

I miss you

when the wake of the new day
approches and the birds start singing
their most beuitiful melody
there is an empty space on my bed
where once your beautiful
smile used to be
the birds continue singing
they don't know
their beauitiful melody
fills my heart
with moments and memories
that now deeply hurt

I miss you

is not the same here
everything looks different
everything looks out of place
I hope you are ok
I don't know what to do
I feel trap in yesterday
I never imagined that love
could cause so much pain

In my dreams
Gary Zambrano Aug 2021
I see u from afar
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
different emotions, I feel
running thru my body
I can't move
I can only watch

I imagine me, next to you
looking at your eyes
touching your hair
slowly running my
fingers thru your face
it feels so real
at least for me

suddenly, she touches me
and whisper in my ear
love you baby
and I wake up, yes
it was a dream once again

I don't know
how to stop them
I can't tell her
that every night
you come back to me and
fill my dreams with
emotions that only you
can make me feel

It is sad and painful for me
what did you do to my soul
why does it bring you back
every night in my dreams
how do I turn it off?
how do I get rid of it?

I want you to know
Gary Zambrano Aug 2020
I Love you with all my heart
despite my hurt and scars
you are my healer and
the best part of my life

I want you to know
if you ever feel like
I'm drifting away
just look at me and
bring me back
give me a big hug
hold me tight
tell me that you love me
you have this beautiful power
that can turn bad days
into magical nights

I want you to know
that even when I am distant
you are always in my heart
there will be no disagreements
that can break us apart
I have been through so many
dark places and lonely nights
your eyes were my way out
because of you 
 I'm a better man
thank you, for all that you are

Chapter of love
Gary Zambrano Oct 2020
I remember waking up
with your eyes looking at me
and your smile filling up my day
with love and hope

I remember before leaving
you giving me a hug and a kiss
I remember coming back
you running into my arms
wao, how much I miss
what now is gone

You wrote the most beautiful
chapter of love, in my heart
and forever will be there
to remind me how deep and
strong can a person feel love

thank you, for the part
you played in my life,
today I let you go and I move on
you will live forever as my most beautiful chapter of love

Good bye my love
Gary Zambrano Dec 2020
All I wanted was
to make you smile
but instead all I saw
were tears in your eyes

All I wanted was
to create your paradise
but instead, you made me feel like I destroyed
the green
and all your flowers die

All I wanted was
to combine your dreams
and mine in one dream
but, instead you woke up
like you couldn't breathe
or live in one dream

All I wanted was
for you to have what
you always wanted to have
today I know it wasn't me
my smile, my paradise,
my dreams, that were wrong
but, that you were not in love
so you couldn't feel
the beauty in my heart
good bye my love, good bye...

We will win
Gary Zambrano Apr 2020
The human race is crying
pain, suffering and death
is trying to break
our will and strength
We will win, there is more good
inside each of us, to get us pass this
we will defeat it, with hope and faith
the invisible enemy, is not match
for the unbreakable human race

They had tested us before
and we didn't give up, we fought
victory is just up ahead
We will win, We will win

To our fallen heroes, God bless
your sacrifice made us stronger
and determine to defeat this
invisible enemy, we will fight
and, We will win again and again

God has called her
Gary Zambrano Aug 18
Today I woke up
to a cloudy and dark sky
I went to my garden
something was wrong
the beautiful flower's
petals were closed
her fragrance and color
also gone, my heart hurts.

She was love and light
to many now,
God has called her
to a higher mission in
Heaven to beautify
the gardens there.

I pulled the rose
from the ground
and put it in a resting place
her soul can now
fly to Heaven
and make God's garden as
beautiful and  lovely as
she made our garden here.....
