Oh, mother, please!

You do create in

Me profound unease

For I’m all grown now

And a great big cheese.

Do not speak to me

Around my friends,

The ones with knobby knees,

In pidgin Portuguese

Or motherese.

And I’ll then not talk

In computerese

Or of Socrates,

And I’ll be sure to clean

My plate of peas.

      Every sleep is a death and

     every wakeup is a birth

     Life is in between it

     as a dream of our sleep

     From the opening to close of our eyes

     many struggles and desires play

    They keep us as dolls to pull and push

    We move in their directions with an illussions

   Everything is in our hands and nothing is greater than us

ROSES

By: Alexander Duque

Roses bunch of roses given to you,

Is it love or your just posses by the beauty and the color?

So what is it to honor?

The color is perfect,

But is there anybody who protect?

One day petals will fall,

Is there anybody to call?

It will be shattered into pieces

 And you try to gather it all and put it together

 But it won’t stay forever.

Hoping its beauty will last,

But all of it is in the passed,

All you have is lust.

Driven by anger

Consumed by hate

But still,

I don’t discriminate

I do not tell lies

I speak only truth

I only take what’s mine

I do not steal

I see life,

Through my own eyes

Living in a world of disaster

Dealing with mistakes every day

I’ve held back

Tried to hide the tears

Now its too late

Let them pour

Getting to the point of indecision

Should I even care

Not just one thing goes wrong

YOU LEAVE ME IN THIS SOLITARY PLACE,

I TRY TO WIPE MYSELF CLEAN OF YOUR SHAME.

YOUR LOVE ONCE SWEET AND UNCONDITIONAL HAS BECOME POISON IN MY VEINS,

I  WOULD WILLINGLY EXCHANGE MY SOUL FOR ONE EMBRACE.

I YEARN FOR THE LOVE ONLY A MOTHER CAN GIVE.

I SEE MYSELF BECOMING PART OF YOUR PAST,

SUFFERING A THOUSAND DEATHS FROM EVERY AVERT OF YOUR EYES.

LEFT WITH THE REALIZATION THAT TO YOU I WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING MORE THAN A MISTAKE.

You were always a figment

of my imagination.

You became my Knight

in Shining Armor

When I found you,

your heart was unprotected to me.

I entered through your

so-called protective covering,

Savoring the joys of seduction,

I plunged slowly, but yet swiftly,
