Sometimes I feel like I'm a person between worlds. Not in this one and not in the other; but passing between in blossoms of spring and the blur of August. Watching the seasons pass as I remain the same, only older.

Little bitter-sweet ballad of me.
Once I heard about art. And I tried it. And never regret it. Because now I feel like I AM art. 
Once I heard about love. And I didn’t want to try it. But I did. And now...I regret it. Because now I feel like... I sold my heart. 
And what’s my heart without art?
He...

Are We Mad?
Questions answering questions gets us nowhere so it seems.
Time is relative and splitting at the seams.
Nowhere to go, with everything to see;
though you are as blind as one can be.
Refusing to grasp a singular truth
as we endure the agony of our eternal youth.
There is joy on your face as days slip by;
you are a kite flying ever so high.
We are grounded, rooted, chained, and bound
staring at clock hands that never go round.
You are free in this place, you get to escape reality;
we are sentenced to asylum for eternity.
You were to be our savior,
acquit us of our insanity;
not resign from your position and let our minds fester uselessly.
Running, skipping, leaping, and your feet pound the ground
droning on within my addled mind-the sound
of your voice a screeching car wreck
and my laughter? ,well, it resounds.
Do you enjoy yourself, here, in this land of wonder and contentment?
Cause every little thing about you is a bane upon my existence.
Watching and waiting and itching and twitching
scratching and biting and listing and fitting
into madness like the final piece of a puzzle
glassy eyes gazing nowhere sundered from my soul
and this blood on my hands must have somewhere to go?
The eyes that pin me are full of pity
though why I do not know
except that they are leaving this place finally, yet-
leaving me all alone.
I beg the clock, verbally,
to tick
just, one more tock.
Inherently I am patient though it does not gift me a response.
Absently I am wandering
a loop I cannot escape
and distantly I am shivering-
or so I think.
I ask your shadow why this happened,
I recieve a silent reply.
I breathe a sigh into the air
that hovers over your motionless head;
"I detested questions answering questions, but who answers questions when we're dead?"

I Am From....
Adapted by Levi Romero
Inspired by "Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyon
  I am from my warm, purple paradise I call my bed
From the broken brown couch and the square brown table.
I am from the two story, white house
That smells like wet dog and kitty litter.
I am from the roaming deer in the greenbelt
The round dead bushes
Whose distinctive rustle
Reminds me I'm home.
I'm from bear hugs and baby kisses
From my sister Aubrey and my retired parents.
I'm from crazy laughs and boring mornings
And from the occasional screaming fight.
I'm from good night sleeps and words so sweet
And "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen"
I'm from Thanksgiving dinner, which is usually my birthday.
I'm from the great San Antonio and my huge melting pot
Homemade breakfast tacos and chicken soup too.
From my Asian loving sister
With long, curly, raven black hair
Whose moments I have I treasure like no other.

I Hope
Outside your window this morning was a bird that wanted to be a tiger. And on the sidewalk was a dog that wanted to be a goldfish, and in the cornerstore was a cashier that wanted to be a samuri warrior and in the Buger King I went to at lunch time was a child that wanted to be Batman and in my mirror, was a man that wanted to be free. My arms, are holding onto a history that my blood has no desire to unlearn.My shoes, took me through the hot breath of Gods watching people from a place we haven't cried enough to dream of. I always wanted to know what heaven really looked like, so I can determine if living a good life was worth it. You wanted to be a dancer, and yet with each step you take, there's a 60 peice orchestra tuning up, waiting for you to skip over cracks in the sidewalk, you are this movement Wild and wiltering you are this breath soft and thunderous. And the heat coming off the parking lots and car hoods, always wanted to be water sprinklers, because who hates a water sprinkler! But I haven't seen a butterfly yet today, because while we all went on with paperwork and metal production, with meal orders and garbage pickup, the butterfly sat upon a shaded ledge and looked though an office building, and refused to let us see it flying, as it nibbled on a breadcrumb, and knew right then, it now wanted, to be you!

Present
you ran today with a wolverine inside your shoes. I hope you woke this morning with a thousand ways a thousand songs are sung to the thousand times your eyes told the sky, that not all that shines is above us. I hope that you are drinking water right now. Water has been there before the dinasors or the methods used to depict them. water has survived fires and wars, and stays calm until shaken awake. water is pure and undying, as are my thoughts you. I hope you saw a tree this morning that held the secrect of why you have mission statements of colorful dreams on the corners of your mouth, buried within its rings. I hope this poem makes you feel that your heart has so much room to grow, and will have so much time to do it in, and that every color you can ever taste, became that way because it had the honor of being inside of you. I hope you had a good breakfast this morning! I hope that time carries you in its fingers like bananas and cookies. I hope you look into your mirror, that dusted itself, anticipating your reflection, and realized that inside the glass was the most beautiful thing that words haven't traveled enough to describe. I hope you know that all your past mistakes and all your past failures and doubts and wishes, are all in your past, and that as long as you breathe, you will have the chance to make more. I hope this for you, while the ground lays in waiting for your feet to walk upon it, while the door, leading to a freadom that a weekday couldn't possibly understand, waits for your hands to touch them. In my arms is a song that sounds like your midnight, and it swims to my eyes to see you smile. And when I go I will places kisses upon the wind, to go to your heart, and hope you never forget me.
