Wanderer

Is my enemy.

A cage of fiery pain and quick drying cement.

Sometimes my body

Is a bird.

Flying through the air and diving into fresh springs and trees with glee.

Other days my body is simply a vessel

An environment to observe within.

I cry out in agony and weep for relief

None can ever find me.

The never ending barbed wire fence that contains me

Is growing tighter and tighter.

I squirm and writhe to stretch my bindings

Desvelado played in my dreams last night.

I pondered for hours wondering why.

Sleepless it means, obsession with love.

Am I driving myself crazy looking for reasons and imperfections within love?

Am I unable to accept that someone truly loves and cares for me in the way I deserve?

Trust isn’t built overnight in a tower that crumbled,

From a flower that was crumpled.

It is important to notice the moments of our lives that our precious.

The sun on our faces,

The purrs of a cat.

The smell of fresh tortillas,

Cool and clear water.

I’m thankful for these little moments, they bring me so much joy.

She is made of fire.

Born of the oceans and stars.

Revoked of her power and fueled by magic.

Forced to dwell the earth.

Her hips dip and rise fierce like waves.

Gliding across the dance floor.

She is a magician, a conjurer.

Invoking her spell on all around her, hypnotizing with each movement she makes.

She is made of fire.

Her eyes dark like coal.

Smiles and cackles like a coyote.

She moves forces of this earth with every spin, every stomp, every flick of her wrist.

Her hair flows wild like trees waving in a thunderstorm.

Each glimmer of light strikes across her sparking the next step she takes.

She is made of fire.

I would like to know the meaning.

I was told that the crow would be the one but yet was so misleading.

Watch for crows and so I did, it faded in the sun,

Swallowed into memory, my heart is now won.

A would’ve been

could’ve been

should’ve been better.

Guided me to the thunderclouds and rain that makes me wetter,

I couldn’t make it without the past to crown me something fierce.

I need to know and meet the crow.

The wisdom that he holds.
