Words pool in the back of my throat like putrid acid,
Like bile and reflux of the overactive mind.
I try to swallow them down, but they burn.
They want to be free.
I want them to be, too, but this is not the place.
This is not the time.
I'm not ready.
But there they go dancing across my tongue,
Prying open my mouth just to see daylight stream into this dark cave.
I choose the safe onesthe ones that hurt leastand let them go.
Being quiet is a talent,
But being silent while speaking is a curse.
You spend your whole life pruning thoughts like flowers,
Taking only the best ones and hoping they'll blossom into something be
Roller coasters at their best. We expect some kind of relief, but the hills keep coming.
And the wavesoh, the waves!splash over my head before I can take a proper breath.
But I love the ocean, and who doesn't love the thrill of a coaster?
Coaster to coast I flit, whiplashed and tired.
Bob and sway, bob and sway.
Mayday, mayday!
Operator, stop the ride! I'm out of energy and tickets to spend.
I never remember walking onto the beach, stepping onto the pier with the ride that never stops.
Excuse me, miss, where are we? Sir, can you tell me time or place?
Faces blurring past, I think I catch yours but it's gone.

The Weary Traveler and the Girl Who Fell.
A study in grief and unity.
Opening the door I found the monster I had drawn pictures of in my mind, but he had quite a bigger jaw than I had imagined.
They call this a processa journeyand say that there will be missteps and stumbles along the way, but I feel I might have to claw my way across the ground before I can even hope to have missteps. They don't tell you that there's a good chance you'll fall right out of the starting gate, and the soil in your mouth tastes gritty and bitter. Bruised knees. Bloodied elbows. Breathe the scent of earth and lie there, hoping to God that someone comes back and realizes you're not moving al
La vida es el mar,
y flotamos en sus aguas,
Esperamos para algo.
Aguas tienen olas,
Y olas tienen fuerza,
y a veces,
somos arrastrados lejos.
Esperamos para algo.
Una tormenta puede
destruir, puede matar,
puede agitarnos.
Entonces,
Esperamos para algo.
Y lo buscamos.
Escudriñamos las aguas
para algo concreto,
Algo seguro,
Algo con salvación.
Esperamos para algo.
Con suerte,
encontramos un mano,
un corazón con compasión.
Lo tomamos. Nos consola.
Vivimos para algo.
La soledad no existe
con un mano en el otro.
Cuando cuidamos
uno al otro,
Vivimos para algo.
Las aguas de obscuro
Tienen esperanza.
Yo recuerdo todotu pelo moreno
Tu sonrisa. Tu voz grave.
Pero es poco claro, es contaminado.
Eras sol, eras luna,
Pero ahora eres lluvia,
Llena de memorias como ácido
Dices la verdad. Dices mentiras
Hasta todo lo que dices es nada.
Había un momento en que amé la ilusión,
Pero ilusiones pierden intensidad
Y también tu cara en mi mente.
No te necesito más. Nunca te necesité,
Pero creciste raíces en mi alma
Sin permiso. Sin palabras.
Hoy las corto. No me tienes más.
La culpa es tu bagaje. Tu cruz.
Y no la llevaré más. Nunca más.

Stormy Skies and Wonder Why's.
A secret place with roaring hues,
Full of yellows, not of blues.
Your smile sparkling right on through,
I trip and fall to get to you.
And then the rain pours,
and I don't know why you're gone.
Your voice softly calling me
I feel you here but cannot see
Like broken lock with missing key
Like lifeboat missing out at sea.
And then the lightning strikes,
and I don't know why you're gone.
Close my eyes and beg for sleep
You were mine but not to keep
And even angels have to weep
For a pain that cuts so deep
And then the thunder roars,
and I don't know why you're gone.
If I could rewrite the story's end
Against the fates I would
