Poetry by Arlene

@arlenelperez

Within these pages, poetry pours out of my pores on to the naked page pleading for attention and hoping you'll share hearts, comments and reblog my poems. Hello! I am Arlene. I enjoy writing poetry. I started writing when I was a young teen to help me sort out my feelings. I love playing and manipulating words. You are free to share my poems, but please give credit where credit is due to me, the author. I welcome any critique. Thanks! This work by Arlene L.

The Expression of Emotion

Poetry is the expression

Of emotion in silence.

It's meant to be read

And felt.

Shared

And experienced.

Spoken

From lips broken.

To know

We are not alone.

To foster

Connection.

To promote

Empathy.

To express

Complex emotions.

To delight

In shared experiences.

To relate

With humanity.

To remind us

We...

Are...

Not...

Alone!

The Sound of Emotion

Music is the sound of emotion

It's meant to be heard

And felt

Shared

And experienced

To dance like wild animals

To clap with loud thunders

To feel the beat

Throughout our entire bodies

Goosebumps spreading from head to toe

The rhythm of our heart beats

Reminding us

We

Are

Alive!

Brave

There was a time in my life where you made me feel so small

Unseen

Unheard

Unwanted

Like a wilted flower begging for the sun

Plucking my petals only leaving a mess

You hurt me to hurt her because I was an easier target

Not even having to aim you destroyed your child

There are scars on this body

And blood stains

Carved in retribution

Claiming control

Fighting back at only ten and two

With fire in my eyes and anger in my heart

Protecting myself in a house of cowards

Remembering I had a voice

I was not silent

And I would no longer allow you to bully me into submission

I prevailed

The End.

I am

Beyond done

More than...

Well done.

Burnt...

Doesn't even

Explain

Where

Or what

I am.

More than

Charred.

Maybe

I am

Incinerated.

I am

Fucking

Done!

Hope Returns

My youth died when hope was lost

Hope was lost when my youth died.

A vicious cycle of codependency

Codependency is a vicious cycle.

Turning cycles circling within

Within circling cycles turning.

Brain on constant repeat

Constant repeat brain on.

Numbing the pain lasts maybe 5 minutes

Maybe 5 minutes numbing the pain lasts.

Life parades paradoxes perfectly

Perfectly Paradoxes life parades.

Hope mascarades as youth

Youth mascarades as hope.

It is not a thing with feathers

Feathers is not a thing hope is.

Hope is housed within our hearts

Hearts is the house of hope.

Rather, hope grows like a seed

Like a seed hope grows.

Weather Metaphors of Me

I am the gentle breeze--Who

offers sweet relief-- In

extreme humid heat.

I am the mighty gale--Who

Freezes you out-- In

Frighteningly frigid temperatures.

I am the Cyclops of All Cyclones--Who

Blasts you away--In

Blundering winds.

I am the drought-- Who

Dries you out--In

Desperate dehydration.

I am the Sun shower--Who

Replenishes your soul--In

Silky soaken showers.

I am the Sun--Who

Splashes you with joy--In

Rays of shine.

A Slowly Spreading Disease

A shadow has spread throughout this land

A canker sore on our nation

We pick at it like a festering wound

Trying to drain out all the poison

While leaving the cancer behind

It's a mitotic rate of 1,

But slowly gaining traction

Now it's a 3 and

Leading up to total destruction

This disease malignantly spread

throughout our body.

We need to surgically

remove it from our cells

like

Chemotherapy targeting the dividing cells

Like

Radiotherapy damaging them

Like

Immunotherapy weaponizing

the immune system.

We are dying patients

Waiting for fake doctors

Within a faulty and fraudulent system

To heal us from ourselves.

It's a total self obliteration.

Back Burner

I'm on the back burner

Simmering on low and slow

Bubbling and boiling

Steady, yet ready

Stir me up

So I don't burn.

No Contact

This time

I chose...

To move on

To stop living in the past

To quit reliving my trauma

To make new memories

To find new family

I chose...

This Time!

Windows to the Soul

The truth behind her eyes

Says everything, yet nothing at all.

She learned the art of acting

When she was just so small.

She learned at a young age

"You can catch more flies

With honey than vinegar"

And we smile with our eyes.

She practiced in her mirror

Learning the art of persuasion

Was more than mere words

Using our eyes helped the occasion.

Looking into her eyes

Is a reflection of your soul

You see what she wants you to see

Mirroring souls is her goal.
