Thank you so much, for the kind reviews on my poem yesterday. Made me happy! In the spirit of poetry, here's a "romantic" one. Never written a romantic one per se, but kindly share your thoughts on this in the comment section. Enjoy...Gracias!

Time is not for us.

The ticks of seconds and the dings of hours need not

Keep us from being our hearts’ pick

For whether you’re at the other end of the ocean

Or a million swirls across far mountains,

My trail will lead to you in a blink

And then we will remember

One day while I’m tending to the clinking sounds of pots

And you’re there reminding me of moments,

Together how life fought to keep us apart

But got the bad cake instead.

What we have isn’t choice

Couldn’t have been.

Some say we’re written in the stars,

I think we are the stars, 
Because I know you think so too

That’s why we’re so matching.

Ours is that which cannot be titled

For even titles bow to us for guidance

Life’s turns, Life’s gift

Are our trust funds

Prepared for our coming, 
Written for our passing

The stars that shine brighter than light are;

For You. For Me.

For Us.

I want to plant a seed

So good it birthed a formidable adult

Fierce fire, burning passion, I look forward

To beginning that for which I yearned

To make and nurture to beauty.

But how is it others well do some things?

As if they had known you in some life before?

The drive, the strength, with which they oppose

Leaves you wonder if there was any brain in you.

You take a deep breath, ask what it is

They say this. You do this.

Then they say argh!!!

Am I wrong? Was I? Will I be?

For attempting on passion and excitement

Of putting my new found light

In something I believed in?

Or am I just really stupid?

For starting maybe wrongly

And keeping my right ones behind?

They show all kinds of crazy

And I think, “What do I do?”

They speak English, but the fog from their screams

Only make it sound gibberish.

Am I really wrong?

For trying to reach the things that I can’t see?

I wanted to plant a seed,

Nurture it and watch it grow

With my hope, smile and excitement.

But would not the seed be scared itself now?

So...on La Casera.

I was going home from work one day when I heard a fairly young and tiny female voice shouting"Who wants La Casera?" at the top of her voice. I turned around from my BRT seat only to see a little girl around age 10 running in traffic to sell drinks. i can't count how many times she almost got hit by a car during the length of period I was in traffic.

My heart sank.

You know when you want to help so badly but you don't even know how? That was the position I was in. I stare out through the window with my ear plugged; slow music in my head and can't help but wonder why these things happen.

I silently prayed that nothing happened to her. Maybe next time, I'll just call her and give her my number, or buy a drink and probably tell her to keep the change...I'm not so sure what. But one thing I'm sure about is: bit by bit; ALL the young ones and the ones unborn will enjoy the life we all pray for.

Have a great week!
