*maybe this will be my last poem, I really don't...
You did it again, didn't you...
Dear mom and dad
when you read this, don't be sad...
If I knew it would be my last day
I would spend it with you...
I dwell in the darkness
hidden by shadows...
I wonder if God created you first
or the world...
Familiarity is the taste of nostalgia
and betrayal...
Another one has been buried here,
All I can do is shovel the dirt while silence is...
Darling, I make these promises to you and only...
To love, Honor and care for you, and always be...
I was really burning for your caressing hands
until I learned you were just a semblance I was...
I know that people aren't burdens
but I'm feeling burdensome...
I talk to you-
about how the moon turns...
My stubbornness
and...
My Airwalks are the color of a cotton candy sky...
I'm sitting on a scuffed black leather couch in a...
My body is a temple,
A shrine in tune with nature...
How can it be?
That i'm counting these days...
It wasn’t the fall
That killed her...
Stepping away from my comfortzone
it's in my nature...
Don't you try to understand me
For you cannot and never will...
Expressions rage cross my face
while fingers tap away on counter tops...
I never expected
Not even for a moment or two...
They ask me where I was born
like if the place where I come from...
Today has finally came.
Seeing you lying there...
I'm tired of talking, pouring out my soul
forced to defend what's going on inside my brain...
I wanted to die in fire,
to fade into the setting sun...
You were my first word ever spoken,
The one who's always there...
The Movie of Our Life
In the movie of our life...
If I had one wish.
If one desire could come true...
No doubt I'm falling fast for you,
aware there's nothing I can do...
I found the love I'm looking for, but it has not...
an item I see on display that I can't touch-- I...
A depressing caricature
of the way I thought my future would be...
I think about you every time I close my eyes at...
because the last time I was happy was when you...
In an overwhelming darkness,
I find myself to be searching...
You say you're Cinderella
Or you would like to be...
We both know what
the black stars hide...
"In the Caribbean, almost
everyone is a bastard child"...
How on earth can someone say,
what love actually is...
A Pray Before Sleeping
Now I lay me down to sleep...
I've scraped surfaces
of what needs to be...
Maybe war is what made you this
heartless...
Everything about you has become a blur,
salt and snow, sheets and winter sky...
I.
At midnight there is a light...
What kind of guy do you look for?
one that in time you can adore...
I wish you could cover your heart
and protect it from the pain...
This was the last deep breath
I would have to take...
A hundred times my words
have changed but my voice...
Suddenly,
the uninvited music bounce into my ears...
Forgive me, beloved for...
Forgive me for my hunger...

A Poem For Her
A traveler she was...
You
a sin...
Delicate strands of life she weaves
symmetrical shape of beauty deceives...
When the time comes to depart
It's without the will of the heart...
What ifs and maybes don't change the fact
that whatever we do now, will not bring You back...
It's like you can taste my silence,
even when you are not there...
Since Ill Omen lulled at the cradle of my...
Destiny has dawned its animosity with great...
Sometimes in the darkness
the ghosts of the past come to call...
I feel I need to verbalize these emotions,
but will I find the appropriate words...
You must have been so lonely inside my heart,
with a silence so loud...
To see your beautiful smile,
I will cross a border...
These are the words I cannot say
But they come from the heart...
Dear the luckiest guy in the world
It is me again, the hopeless guy...
It's two am, you're still on my mind
These sleepless nights leave me behind...
© Francisco Guzman 2005
Not a day passes by, that you dony cross my mind...
Sorry if this sucks, just had to get everything...
I don't know why its hard for me...
We will live through the days
No matter if it is sun or rain...
To: Derick
I just cant find the way...
Last night I had a dream-
I dreamt I was in his arms...
Whenever there's a helping hand,
or a word of encouragement...
Tonight is reserved only for you,
a beautiful girl I love and adore...
He needed her kiss
She longed for his touch...
Being a single mother is not the easiest thing. We...
How can we be miles apart yet feel this different.
How can love be what brings joy yet still be the...
It's something about the way
you look into my eyes...
You can cuddle me from the biggest distance,
I would still feel the comfort and safety of your...
Dear sir,
I wish to let...
Dimensions of love we created
Castles floating in the sky...
I could almost swear it was yesterday's sky that...
that must've been someone else's world. For my sky...
I remember thinking
it would take me forever to get over you...
I own a large collection of maps
of where my heart has crashed and burned...
I put my faith
in your sunshine dances...
Leaves of regret blow past my dragging feet
as I stroll with sorrow...
I want to learn how I can change my soul
so that you will never slip away...
(Slam Poetry)
His minds going 100 miles an hour, racing around...
Your Smile; Your Smile
So bright and sweet...
My tummy explodes
with colourful fireworks of giggles...
My religion is the love shared
between me, my wife and children...
Why don't you just relax in the reality of my...
It doesn't matter how ugly things are between us...
There is no comfort.
you look at the invisible sky but nothing is...
I will step down from your
heart, only to give you a...
In My Eyes
Daddy...
If I were birds like those above our heads,
The ones that fly by fluttering their wings...
Have you wondered
what a broken memory...
Lashing tongues
and unforgettable stings...
She sits in silence unable to talk,
but her eyes scream out the truth...
Red:
for the excruciating pain that you caused my young...
Sometimes,
life closes on people...
I made my journal a ghost
covered with blankets...
I want to write more poetry,
more of you, of words that ryhme...
I'm okay.
It's just that...
What inferno is this
that Dante's eyes transfix within my soul...
Would you hear me if
I wrote my thoughts in red? Would...
A landscape of dreams
stirs my imagination...
Gathering my clothes up from the floor,
as I try to slip quietly out of the door...
As darkness approaches the fear begins,
Its a panic only evil can bring...
Noone knows the pain and heartache of this wonder...
Not knowing how you feel...
Rip me open slowly,
You like to hear me shout...
Sometimes you just gotta let go,
No matter how hard it seems...
A Kiss in the Rain
We step out of the car and into the street...
Greatest Blessing (Etheree)

I'm in love......
I'm in love with the woman in my poems...
I realize all the things I'll miss most about you
And I'm not ready to go...
I was going to write a letter
but you know it seems I lost my pen...
It was just yesterday...
When i held your hand...
This isn't a painting.
Don't prance around with...

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned...
Tell me who I am
Because I can't find my self tonight...
I know you're all so busy,
With the demanding lives you endure...

2. No matter what YOU say, your ex-boyfriend IS an...
Sex is a sin
kissing is a shame...
I beg you oh dear
schizophrenia, spare me...
Eyes like fire
Soul like ice...

Thee, Seeker of hollow solace...
(this poem is currently in the process of being...
My head lays on my pillow...
May I fall into you?
Tumble past greetings...
From the bowels of depression
grow sepia buildings tall...
Your frequency is high,
granting me an incidental...
You are the water, I am the land.
Boats sneak past your conscious...
My life feels so much emptier now that your gone
Our house, our room, our bed...
Light turns dim
Darkness conquers all...
Mom, I need you...
when will you see...
You shouldn't have... So I wouldn't be....
You shouldn't have promised me forever...
I was a disfigured fox,
disappearing into a fog of dead wood and winter...
Every time i look at the mirror
Disappointment is what i see...

When I die...
I'll love you for always
I'll long to see your face...
In a familiar place of insecurity,
I can feel you drifting further away...
Its hard to pretend you're happy
When all you feel is pain...
Each new memory that jumps into my mind,
quickly becomes my fault...
I never fully understood
the meaning of the word...
When i love,
i don't love...
Julio's words
embraced me...
Let me sleep
as the night bleeds stars...
"Forgive me if I cling like
static, I've just been...
After you, I tried.
I can promise you I did...
The sun fell through
the wires of a dream catcher...
I laughed today,
in impetuous fits of giggles...
I'm the fox in the shed, the wolf in
sheep's clothing, the prime minister...
We swam in oceans of blankets
and made love with the simplicity...
A letter that
illustrates not...
I used to taste the familiarity
of your voice, and the warmth...
Lost I am within a
blue world, unable to...
"You can find anything beautiful
but not the one in the mirror."...

There were never any deaths on those
cold-hearted tiles, but there was a prominent...
Ugly darkness, wakeful skies,
bone weary heart heavy sighs...
I'm going to give you all the reasons to love me...

Sometimes I wonder if I'm only good for keeping my...

Out of a bundle of firsts, the elementary, comes...

Lonely and hurt,
Broken I remain...
I'm a filing cabinet of records that holds dates...
reasons and insentives, agendas and dreams...
My heart resembles the scene of dusk-
where the river meets the fog...
In Memoriam
Would you like to tell me where you are now...
The light slowly fades
as the sun disappears behind the hill...
Tonight might be my last night
I'm sorry but I can't take it...
I can't take it anymore
faking being happy...
If you could see the woods behind me
tall, quiet and yellow...
I am the teabag you so crave,
my brand appealing to your taste buds...
I was the Blackbird trying to understand the...
but you were the Albatross sending omens through...
I don't care how your hair looks,
or the clothes you wear...
Let me drink life
from the palms of your hands...
Let's peel back the covers
and stare into each other...
Has anyone ever told you, you're like a figurine
inside a snow globe? You're painted with the...
If I told you a secret, how well could you keep...
I can't trust a diary. Those pages could...
I want everything about you. Don't pack a bag,
don't think twice about changing, I want you in...
You built these walls around you
To try to encage yourself...
Your presence drains the life out
of my lungs,breathing becomes...
I know your kind...
The socially inept...
To whom it may concern,
I am unaware of your name, sir...
Ma,
I feel fear...
You may be a picture on someone's wall, but...
your smile will never be as crooked as the frame...
Last night I partied
Came home late...
