Halloween Dream

2009-11-07T11:56:00.000-08:00

The sea is as black as pitch
The sky is owned by the witch
The Earth is seen by the demons vulture eye
Hearing the screams of those to die

Angels are nowhere to be found
It is the monsters playing field
Their marching makes a low, dull, quick sound
The pathway from hell can not be sealed

It is everyones worst dreams
Because no one can hear their screams
It is not a beautiful sight
The plants are cursed with blight

There is no one you can believe
Because anyone can deceive
Everyone's blood ran cold
From fears of new and old

Just when everyone thought death approached
The sun rose faster than a jet stream
Suddenly all the monsters disappeared
It turns out it was nothing but a Halloween Dream

Langston Hughes:A Dream Deferred-The Remake

2009-11-05T09:53:00.000-08:00

And now you got me not wanting anything but a break from it all.
To wake up one day and not have to worry about if you love me or if you're gonna come back or not.
I'm trying to find the inner me that's full of pride and optimism, but it seems like it's too dark in here,
And my flashlight keeps dimming OUT.
I tried to paint a picture today of what I loved the most,
But it wasn't a surprise when all I painted was your name and a heart surrounding it.
I loved you the most, and for me, that was something I thought I was incapable of doing.
Isn't that funny? LOVE
The one thing you thought I didn't have, but yet it's you I cry for
And you who I pray to God comes back.
I wanted that fairy tale ending so I could close the chapter of my love life,
But for some reason or another, I ran out of ink.
And thus the story of my life.

What is Love?

2009-10-29T07:09:00.000-07:00

100 times I’ve wondered,
What is love?
I am looking for an answer,
Until I find a reason.

100 times I’ve wondered,
Is it worth this love?
But my feeling gets stronger,
And without thinking,
I cling to your heart.

100 times I’ve wondered,
Why it hurts so much to love?
But neither the moon nor the stars,
Find the solution.
--Jon-Gabriel Pimentel

Mima Who?

2009-10-27T05:39:00.000-07:00

Loving, caring soul
Her smile shines like the sun
Looking down from Heaven.
Mima Who?
Saying encouraging words
Love everyone despite their faults.
Mima who?
A great cook
What was it that made her food so special?
Was it the love that went into it?
That kept it tasting better?
Mima who?
Laughter and joy is what she brings
Even though she's gone
She pushes me every day
Telling me to go on.
Mima who?

Time Flies

I wish summer was back.
This new project I got is making me have a heart attack.
I remember just sleeping as long as I want.
That's destroyed when my alarm clock gives me a haunt.
I'm so tired.
I want to go to sleep.
Whoops, I remember my chapter test is today.
This makes me weep.
Oh jeez, homework's not done
If I don't start doing it,
The world of demerits will have begun
Forever seems like how much time on homework I spend
When will this nightmare ever really end?
But don't worry.
All the hours it took,
An how you crammed your brain with everything in the book
And how you studies so hard
Flash card after flash card
And you hope you explained everything the teacher expects
And running to class hoping for no demerits...
And then magically one day school's out for the year.
Inside you might jump up and cheer
And then on that day you might say
"Didn't school just start yesterday?"
