I Come From

I come from: Familiares y familia siempre
me aman y me ayudan ellos siempre
van a estar conmigo y en mi corazón.

I come from:Bateando, cachando y
Corriendo.

I come from: Viendo netflix y
Haciendo gimnasia
Y en el cojín hago todo.

I come from: Mis familia y familiares
Amor abrazos pero no desgracia está permitida.

El perro y la luna

Al perro se le ve que quiere comer la luna.
El perro no sabe qué hacer para comerse a luna.

El perro se escapó de la casa
solo para comerse la luna.
Que tipo de perro es.

El perro que travieso es.

El perro coje una escalera para treparse para comerse la luna,
cuando está en la mitad
el perro se cae y !pummmmmm!
Se quebró los huesos.

Restless Noise

A perpetual buzz
hummed from the far corner of my quarters
while I laid upon my mattress, lumpy and cold.
Oh when would it
cease?

There serenely sat darkness,
yet a sliver of piercing light crept,
peering through the window,
seeping under the door,
slithering throughout the room
in the otherwise
colorless night.

And still the
Buzz
illuminated all, when all that was ever wanted
was Dark.

I stared up at the ceiling from my nightly throne

Exhausted

from the day’s toils, unable to catch even a glimpse
of
Ever. Evasive. Sleep.

The sounds of the night seemed to

Shudder…
Shake…
Shift…
Churn…

Like the thoughts in my head.
Relentless.

Finally,
in the lobby of my lobes,
exhaustion built,
buzzing like a factory of countless bees,
(or perhaps sheep)
until at last
it was full and the noise faded–

I Fly

I am flying in the sky
I see a fly
he doesn’t look out
and pop crow scares him out
but i’m still flying
nothing can stop me now
I see my house
it looks very small
i fly around
but then i see my school
it sure does look cool
while i fly in the sky
I start seeing the moon
I think it’s time to go home
my parents are calling me they said come to sleep

I like trees and clocks

I like trees and clocks.
I like clocks because they are gold and sparkling.

And I like trees because they are so tall and cool
and I like to climb them so much.

And a play on top of the trees
and I use the clocks to see the time so I know if am late or early.

And a climb trees to go away from the people
and not see my friends when I am mad of them.

I feel free when a go up on trees
and feel more like I am the only one in the world.

The Guitar

The guitar
such a beautiful instrument
so delicate yet so harsh
when you stroke the strings,
it belts out a beautiful note
or when you strike the strings,
a loud sound leaves the sound hole

That brief second when a solo comes together…
it’s the best feeling in the world
or perhaps when the last note rings out
and a flood of relief rushes over you
or maybe the
Relaxation
of a well written solo

The speed of some ensemble music
The strength and clarity of the bass line
The quick last note that gets cut off

The conductor bows
The players bow
Everyone walks off the stage
and…
that’s it.

Leap

Why spend your life dancing in the footsteps
Why hide in the shadow
Don’t understep
When you can shine in the spotlight

When I dance I fly around the world spinning
While i’m leaping over houses over buildings
through the air I can fly fast and ruthless
And I can fly steady and slow
Flying makes me happy
When I fly the Radio sings for me
flying its my key to life
I will never stop flying
