Tu belleza en tu sonrisa
Tu belleza en tus ojos
Tu belleza en tu cadencia
Tu belleza en tus fragancias.
Life is what you make it
We live on borrowed time
But if life is what we make it
Then it’s time that I make mine
Hide your sorrow in your pocket
To prepare for rainy days
If I had a nickel for every embarrassing or ridiculous situation that I somehow squeezed myself into I would definitely have a few nickels. A good example would be my class trip to Washington DC when I was a junior in high school.
When Friday nights become Saturday mornings. The dew glitters on the grass like a fallen chandelier, casting shards of liquid sun. Coals burn in the fire sending smoke crawling towards the sky.
Funny things are only funny when we have time to laugh,
To sing on about jolly nonsense until reality gives us a bath.
The tough thing about the rules of funny is that it must begin in pain.
Epiphany
I wasn’t sure if it was there
But it was
Way down in the pit of me
Lives my epiphany
I love rhyming
I do it all day long
Whenever I start rhyming
I want to sing a melody
I love rhyming
It’s all that I can do
Thank you.
Thank you for every second, every day, every year.
Thank you for holding me
While I cry,
And smiling at me
While I laugh.
Thank you for your time, your trust, your affection,
I call her the shape shifter
She will become a vision of your most impossible fantasy
Make you truly believe life is worth living
Then laugh at you for ever thinking any of it was real
She's so sweet and innocent
Across an ocean of stars,
Above a mountain of garbage.
I'll show you the scars,
And my hollow of Solace.
Life is...
Life is passion
Life is meaning
Life is the sun’s shining rays.
Life is a game
Life is complex
Life is the musical sound of laughter.
Life is running
life
when I was little, I use to curl my hair every morning & put fake flowers in my hair because that was the only beauty I saw in myself.
Flitter, flutter, butterfly in the butter.
Aunt, aunt, ant in the sugar.
Apple, raffle, snapple in the bottle.
I was lying on my back look up at the ceiling
Trying to come up with a wheel or dealing
See I kept a diary sense I was young
I captured my dreams filled up with kings & queens
Night time comes, the sandman calls, suddenly reality fades
fantasy begins, the lights are dim
The scene sets, time it has nothing on you
no beginning, no end, no middle
Isn't it a pity when you hate the city
So no damn good with snake pit lion's den you need someone to be your friend
Like Mickey Mouse & Daffy Duck chasing each other in a bush
The whole wide world is in quite a rush
Walking thousands of stepsMeasuring footprints left behind Stumbling blocksAnalyzingWalking through slippery roadsDead endsAscending mountains Descending Facing ephemeral seasons
in the dark of the night...
beep beep... hush hush
Within our world in a rush
when push comes to shove we need a hug
things in life get pushed under the rug
these are desolate times yet we
How long will it take for you to see
Life is just an illusion, it’s gonna pass eventually
The flesh is just a lie
Eventually you’re gonna die
But your soul will live on
Rejoice in this don’t mourn
I sit here
in the tailgate of the truck
watching the beautiful orange rays from the sun drift into a dark blue
i only have one thing on my mind
but I mean hell you always are
when my family gets here
I'm gonna call you back
when my family gets here
I will play with Elmo and watch frozen
play hide and seek and tag down the hallway
sing songs and watch their eyes
To see my friends laugh,
Brings joy to my heart.
Seeing their true happiness,
Makes me laugh with them!
When I'm feeling down
t turn to my friends, who are clowns,
and they help me turn back around
I walk to
somewhere
on this grey day
within my life of shrewd colors
grey
In the grey
clouds above
I spot a flash
of light
It comes out of nowhere
Bright smiles
Teasing grins
Fond pats on the head
Muttered words
And it rings out
Sweet and gaily
Bells on the wind
Jokes prance around
Eyes lit up
Laying in the bed
With my girl last night
Trying to get some booty
But she's putting up a fight
She said "Leave me alone,
and let me watch my show"
But you know I can't stop
Why regret
Don't forget
the things you should have done
the things you shouldn't've done
Live for the regrets
Live to do the things no one else would
You're still young
Live while you're young
Smile
Like your teeth are the sun
Dance
Like no one is watching
Laugh
Like you’ve never known happiness
Sing
Like your lungs will never give out
Make Friends
The reason I wake
The reason I live
The reason I try
The reason I smile
The one thing I love
The one thing I need
You.
My world ended
So why was it still spinning?
Darkness crept in
So why was there still light?
How can the Earth still spin
And a candle still burn
When his heart's stopped beating?
Now, Joy was filled all over,
And sadness is seen in some;
Though joyous they would be, they seem sad
But sweetness flowed on others minds.
Sadness was filled, by the day’s end
You might mock me
I won't be silent.
You may laugh at me
I don't care.
You may insult me
Because of my Race
I know better.
It is the way each gear ran perfectly,
The way the ticks lined up.
It was how the metal clashed with me,
It couldn’t get enough.
Let’s fall,
Let’s rise,
Then stall,
Then surprise.
I'm not the typical female,
not even instructions will help.
I come with all emotions but
avoid sadness.
Humor and sarcasm is what I
do best, even in the moments
that need attention.
Like wind, I'm unpredictable.
Bringing a breeze,
I cause people to move in my direction
and not be still.
Making the day that much better,
to know I am wanted and
not wished to go away.
Genes have made my eyes glow with dark rings,
they are also made of the bluest of blues,
shimmering in the sunlight,
unique in their own way.
My hair has never been died or changed,
Wealth is not relevant at the sunsets
The sunset is not a place
The sunset is a happiness that can only be dream
Or is it?
The sunset is a sense of security because you know the sunset will lead you to dreams
The sun may set on my summer time,
but the smiles stay through school.
Yes, the busywork May last too long
and the hours pass too slow.
But somewhere here I'll find a laugh
Think about your family, Tammy-Lee
Look towards the future, Stu-Murr
Take a breath, Seth
Keep a journal, colonel
Record your triumphs, Liumph
Go to bed early, Shirley
Create realistic goals, noel
Think about your family, Tammy-Lee

What makes you happy?
A question we all ask ourselves.
A lot makes me happy.
My pictures make me smile.
My movies make me giggle.
My books take me a while.
But what makes me laugh?
Acting gets stressful.
Playing takes energy.
My drawing looks awful.
One journey has ended
But the new has begun
It’s my time to shine
It’s my time to breathe
It’s my time to shout
And show who I can be
I love to laugh at the way that they look
Hmmm, lets see "what makes me happy?"
I would say the typical money answer
However, feeling accomplished makes me happy
I feel like nothing can take my joy away
no soul in east williamsburg
thinking about something other than walk my baby to school today,
pour me a cup of iced coffee and put the lid on,
someone spare me some change for a metrocard,
You look in the mirror and you see
A human being, to you, that's just not meant to be
A person who will never be
But it's all a lie
But you don't see
Because you're trapped
In darkness
It’s funny to think things very unfunny
Since funny is all things can be.
Seriousness is perhaps
The most funny thing to me.
You might leave your lips un-curled,
Your eyelids may sag unamused,
Stupitity done intentionally with well execution in the joke makes me laugh.
Live life in love, for love is free; as is a smile, Though sparingly are they given And mistakes are felt, and apologies dealt, Though seldom are they forgiven.
I saw a smuge of eyeliner
on her sunned, freckled cheek
I wish I didn't have to watch her shimmy
sighing hard
into her jeans
or smearing her lipstick
on a dry dark mouth
The heart beats like a thousand drums
When in the face of inquiry to another
A yearning soul heard over melodious hums
To change, alter, modifyIf I had the power to revolutionize,Every stroke of the brush placed in my right handwould ever so gracefully trace my vision.
As I sit in this car--
I see toilet somewhere far--
And I hope with all my might,
mom will get there soon so I can go!
I will not
I will not
These words repeat in my head
Over and over and over
I will not cry
Not in front of you I must be strong
Because if I’m not strong then who will be
Rules.
Are meant to be broken.
Promises.
Are meant to be kept.
Secrets.
Are meant to be told.
Friendships.
Are meant for you to hold.
Relationships.
Aren't always perfect.
Ohh, but a laugh.As precious as a flower.'Tis not what's in a name.'Tis what is in a laugh with an open hand beside it.
(March 20, 2012)
I'll hold you through the night.
For hours, in everyday, in every week.
Til It gets cold, alright.
No words would be right
Just hands to back, to get you geeked
I'll hold you through the night.
The Sky is blue,And full of poo,falling, spiralling, down,from white and brown-speckledcreatures They call seagulls.
And the moral of this story is-Shit happens.
For some the rain will fall. But for those who laugh and love the rain won't matter at all.
Living like life is short
Almost always gets you in trouble
Untimely action gives timely punishment
Goodly action gives strange rewards
Having strength to speak plainly often does little for you
Our happiness can't be judged by the money we haveIt can't be judged by the objects we ownNot even the smile we put on to hideAll the saddness that we've built up inside
I love the way your eyes crinkle up
each time you start to laugh,
the way you smiled boldly, slyly
at me when you caught me staring.
I loved the way you blushed
even more though, quickly averting your eyes,
Don't listen if you don't want to hear.
Don't watch if you don't want to see.
You find pain amusing?
I'll push you down a flight of stairs.
Hear me laugh.

I've lived
I've learned
I've loved
I've learned
I've lost
I've learned
I've lied
I've learned
I've listened
I've learned
I've laughed
I've learned
I've lived
Let Me Borrow Some Time
I can do that right?
It's not an unreasonable request
Your smile is my sun,
your eyes- my entire world.
I could only stand back and watch,
as everything unfurled.
