tenderness
id like to take ur crown off
and clean it
gently, suavelike
and kiss each iron spike
before i place it back on
ur head of curls.
no sé qué pasará mañana
if a tomorrow will come
but this night within us
beats so strongly
que por este momento
i'd like to sit en este desconocido
mirando un amanecer that might never come.
me gustaria--if its just for a few moments
to take ur calloused hand in mine
y encontrar el quietud
en el canción de nuestros huesos.
the beats and drops
de tu sangre llamando al mio.
the battle will begin again
cuando salga el sol
and soon there will be no time
for tenderness such as this.
two lovers holding hands
at the edge of the world.
whatever mañana brings
estare contigo.
thru thick and thin
porque, bueno, pues te amo.
“más que mi propia piel”
for donna
find what you need
in spaces that tell u
u are enuf
may ur cup always be half full
and never empty
and that u surround urself
w people that see ur light
shine thru even on the darkest of days
i hope that one day
wn all this is said and done
wn ur sitting on someones porch
ur own maybe
and ur family gathers around u
and its perpetually late summer
so the sun hits just right
and the sunsets last for days and days
i hope that u are able to look back
on a past that was
not couldve been
or shouldve been
but simply existed in a perfectly imperfect way
cus it belongs solely and irrevocably
to u. and u alone.
i hold on tight
to the idea that u shall always
surround yourself w full bellies
and laughs that shake the heavens
friends who have no fear
of the sound of their voice
and u can hear it carry over the wind
and u will run toward it
because for once
for many many times
in your life
u are filled with serendipitous joy.
all this i wish for u.
crowns
if the tears come
let them come pendeja
let them roll down ur chubby cheeks
like a summer rain in july
let ur eyes
open and let ur tired ass soul
out to see the world
u dont need to keep ur cards
so close to ur chest
xq aqui
entre ahora y siempre
we are linked in blood, sweat
in stardust
and i can see u for the king
u were always meant to be.
