a blanket,
upon a loom,
intricately woven,

portrays beauty,
of blushing colors. . . . more

And when I came to myself, I was standing . . . more

Cool morning breeze,
sweet respite of summer
calls to me
in the rustling of leaves,

She's standing there
Right in front of you
But you pay her
No mind

There's this spacei n my heart

The heart you broke
The question is

But you don't seem
To see how I feel
Through the pain
There's so much love
The broken . . . more

Your tiny head nestled against my breast
While you tried to find some nourishment.

Bent over them with tendrils . . . more

Raising the shadows
From black to gray

Royal palms stand in a row
Dark silhouettes cut into the blue sky.
Below in the flat fields
Cane arrows raise golden heads to the sun
And wave slender . . . more

Never project emotion.
They will only mistake
anger for arrogance
tears for weakness
If you show fear
they will strike.
Smile. Smile. Smile.
Shake hands.
Make eye contact. . . . more
