Extranjera



Soy extranjera de un lugar lejano
vine a este lugar para encontrar oportunidades
que me dieran una nueva forma de vivir,
Una nueva identidad 
en la cual pueda salir adelante 
y no morir de hambre.
Vine a buscar una forma de vivir decentemente 
donde los hombres no quieran que venda mi cuerpo
ni que viva sujeta a un hombre para poder tener pan en la 
mesa.
Si preguntan de donde soy,
a la verdad no se si soy de aquí o de allá.
Ya que no me acostumbro aquí 
y allá a la verdad no sabría como sobrevivir.
Me llaman extranjera, 
pero a saber de donde
ya que no puedo pertenecer a el estatus de la sociedad
Tengo sangre caliente, color canela, rizado  loquera.
No, a la verdad,  no quepo en el molde,
y todavía no han creado uno que me quede.
Pero sino lo crean, yo lo creare 
y lo preparare para la muchacha extranjera.

True Love

true love! what in the world is that? where can I go to find its meaning? when will I get an answer of that? true love!  the one that never fades away. the one that you dont find as easy as you believe. the one that understands it all. the one that forgives it all. the one that desires to give you the whole world. the one that with a kiss and a smile and a hug wants to say it all. the one that makes you feel butterflies in your stomach. the one that makes your heart beat so fast. the one that hear you out. the one that ends with a kiss after a fight. Is it the one that never asks permission when entering in your heart. Is it the one that makes you restless. Have you been lovesick? Do you know what im talking about because it seems that I just lost my mind.

Un Verso

El amor vino El amor se va Parecía real Pero terminara Como una memoria Una ilusión Algo que al final Nunca existió Entre tú y yo. Pic:  http://s3.amazonaws.com/pixmac-preview/obr-zek-erasing-heart-pen-paper-pixmac-57367189.jpg
There are times I wish I could type as fast as each thought comes to my mind,  but they tend to travel at a pace and velocity that no one can stop them to be put on paper; it is like a game they play with my mind. As soon as they come and make fun of my slowness they leave, without a trace. Yes, a thought that is gone and probably will never cross my mind again. All I can remember is the sweetness or the sadness it leaves; yes, only the sensation that they existed but no substance that can be poured on paper. They leave the confusion that keeps me pondering and searching for that thought that may not even existed to begin with. Or did it really come to enlighten me? If it did, it was a lesson learned and forgotten in the millisecond that they came and *puff* disappeared.   Well, they must have turned to smoke for a reason, they probably played a role in my life and after they were done they decided to go. Yes! I would decide to believe that. ...
