If U Knew

Concentration is in need
Thinking about it beneath
The eye lids
Never knowing if it's a lie indeed
But if you know that I have you deep inside me
You would know that I don't lie when
I say that without you
The hours are so slow, I can't find my patience
I am trembling like crazy and I want to see you and
I know that you don't believe it, you think that probably
This is like a fly passing by, but don't you see
How you have me believe me please
You have taken my mind
I only think of you, I want to see you know
Because without you
The hours are so slow, I can't find my patience
I am trembling like crazy and I want to see you know
Please take my heart and hear its voice
Love me like this, feel me like this

Heaven

What is it like to fly?
To soar through the sky
To get away
To leave troubles behind.

What is it like to fly?
To glide through the clouds
To get to heaven
To see you again.

- Katy

Nature Beauties

The tree is tall
and green.
The leaves
move with the flow
of the wind.
When I am outside
I enjoy the presence
of nature
and his many beauties.
When I sit
by the tree
I can see
how beautiful nature is.

Life

Reaching my goals--in life
Having a fulll day of school--meeting dead lines
Bringing work home--feeling tired

Putting a smile on my face daily
Hiding my feelings
Life will get better

ANTS! ANTS! Everywhere

But all they say is

"Please don't stare!"

"We mind our business

and work our best,

trying to beat all the rest."

"We find food,

take it home to eat

expecting to have a great treat,

and hoping the humans won't defeat!"

-Roxann Garcia

Free Like a BIRD

I love to be free

Free like the Birds that fly

To get to any place

At any time.

With no one to tell me

Don't go. STOP!

I wish I could have

all that time

To visit friends and family

At any time.

To visit places and

go over walls that

Don't let us cross.

If I could only have

Wings and Time

To do all of that

At any time!

Stay,

Tonight just stay and

Love,

tonight just love me and

Dream,

tonight just dream right next to me.

Leave,

tomorrow just leave and

Forget,

tomorrow just forget me and

Wait,

tomorrow just wait for another tonight.

THE CLOCK

It occurs between two individuals

And it is the most wonderful feeling of all

When the perfect doze has been formed.

There is happiness, kindness, and definetly trust.

For it is not about completing

Nervertheless, they complement each other.

Within the bond there is freedom

And with freedom there is love.

Friendship???

People can be nice

but people can be mean.

I like my friends

but are they really fake?

I try to understand where they come from

but confusion takes over.

It seems drama is what they like,

but I don't think it's right to make.

I try to stay stong with them

but sometimes I just can't help it.

Can I just tell them what I'm feeling?

Honestly I don't know.

Someone please come advice me

I'm lost more now than before.

I want everything to be back to normal,

just like when I was 10 years old.

The Storm

The hurricane is coming
What will we do?
We can’t just deny it
For it’s all but true

The winds are now blowing
The rains are now flowing

The hurricane is coming
It’s coming for you

------Xavier Cardenas Jr.

I Did

I Did

Did I dream you ages ago?

I did.

I have an image, somehow blurred

Somehow still there, ingrained forever

My head aches, my heart aches

Will you only exist in my mind?

You will.

What Color Would You Miss?

What Color Would You Miss?

A question a child is often asked

What is your favorite color?

Green, Yellow, Orange, Red

Well,

Purple, Blue, Black, Brown

The child ponders the question

Then another question is asked

What color would you miss the most?

The child looks around

Looks inside

Looks outside

Well,

I think I would miss,

Green and Blue the most.

Why?

These are the colors you see the most.

Moonlight harp

Before sleep nocturnal seas,
In the mist of lovelorn dreams,
Lay the man with a moonlight harp.

Waves-they dance before his eyes,
As melodies of autumn skies,
Kiss the reeds of tympani.

Reign fierce-sincerely-
Wield tone,
Along the lost notes,
Lays the man with a moonlit home,
To the heart of a maiden,
Not his own.

Plays for love,
Till dusk-with a moonlight harp

Time

Time is always on
the run
Keeping up is kind
of hard
Knowing you have to do
so much
But unable to do
it all
Since time is always on
the run

Shoes and Bags Must Match

If they don't
they are better
however,
you need to coordinate!

Tie color,fabric, or finish
As your denominator
And you will be the total DOMINATOR!

From your outfit color
Then your hue of your purse
A complementary color
From your shoes of your choice

Example, a metallic gold clutch
Leopard print heels
A cognac bag
Don't mention the deals

Now a red purse
Will make an outfit pop
With neutral black shoes
You'll be cream of the crop!

Table Salt

Table Salt stands out, NaCl
At a picnic at a bar in a lonley jail.
Not All Condements Like Nacl
nor should they, cause with it they taste frail.
Sodium, iodized, NaCl are all associated with salt
Too much and your heart will halt
too little and your body will drop
misuse it and you are at fault!

A WALL

A tariff peasants must pay

Gold! to fortify our Reign.

For no more intruders

invade our lands.

Oddly a structure now stands

sealed by foreigner hands.

Fresh Air

Fresh Air

It is peaceful when you sit on your own to grasp fresh air.

You only hear the birds singing from a distance

while at the other end you hear people talking,

machinery,

flying planes

and traffic passing by.

Even though you hear all the noises combined

you can still feel peaceful just by being outside grasping fresh air.

The wind blows and touches your body with care

but messes up your hair.

The sun is bright when there is no shade.

You can feel the burn on your skin,

but cool fresh air under the shade.

No animals are visible in the grass,

just small ants on the dirt

and a few bugs in your face.

But you can still breath the fresh air.

Running, Today and Some Other Day

Running down the path I run through everyday,
I hear my steps getting louder and louder as I run away,
I feel my heart beating faster and faster, and what else can I say?
Besides, I feel very good today.

Running down the path I run through everyday,
It soon starts to get dark, and I can no longer stay,
Now what can I say?
Besides, I will surely run again some other day.

Every Day

Every Day
When I wake up your with me
Every Day
I can rest assured that you will always be the same
Every Day
You have taught me how to trust in you
Every Day
I am happy because I met you
Every Day
My faith gets stronger because of you

My dog "Isa"

Isa is the color of golden brown
She likes to always mess around
She plays with chickens and baby chicks,
But stays away from roosters because
They will give her a great big peck
She cries with sorrow and so much pain
This will teach you not to mess up again.

Nature

Flowers give food to birds

Birds fly in the sky

Sky is full of blue and white

Blue and White are the clouds

Clouds bring us the rain

Rain is clear as I see your eyes

MIRACLE

MIRACLE

Look at the smile
of your baby
when he looks at you,

Look deep
at your baby’s eyes
when he looks at you,

Look at your baby’s
angel face
when he sleeps,

Look and admire at
your baby’s innocence
when he plays,

Look, see, and enjoy
at a miracle that
God had created for you!!

Everlasting drum

From the south the rain now comes

What wall will the Gringos build to stop?

Or will the drops run free

Giving life to all around.


For it comes and goes in waves the rain

And will keep coming back to you


Gleaming, translucent beacon of hope

And there so beautifully still you lye

You represent the best of us

CHICANO as they say

Go on and sound the alarm

Once again the Sun will charm

And give the design of freedom intent

Giving hope to liberty

Turning young what was once old

Yelling RAZA ATREVERSE
BE BOLD

THE RUSH

We rush everywhere
But do we stop
And realize
What is really going on
Around us?
NO, blindly we keep on going
with our lives....

The Way To Heaven

Take My Hand

And Lead The Way

For I know

You Know The Way

To Heaven

Text Away

Click, click, click
Clack, clack, clack
The keys are touched
The keys are pressed

Buzz, buzz, buzz
Ring, ring, ring
Message sent
Message received

Click, buzz, clack, ring
Our phones are our pigeons
Our messages are sent fast
Just like Hermes but just faster.

Shadow

Shadow covers my soul

Comfortable and enjoyable is my soul

Peaceful and warming

Outside the world

Nature

Nature as it has it's different forms of beauty.
From the trees,the birds singing,the mountains.
Nature being a remedy to anything that comes our way.
The beauty of nature and calmness it has over us,and
to enjoy the pleasures in life.
Oh, how i love the beauty of nature.

Looking Back*(poem)

Looking Back

I realize how easy life was as a little girl.
From games, to vacations, to movies and parties,
from "eat your veggies" to toys, especially my favorite doll.
It was Mom, Dad, brother and I; that was all.

Now, life is not easy, makes you even want to hurl!
Not only school, relationships, work and priorities,
but now there's not even time for a simple trip to the mall.
I'd give anything to have just Mom, Dad, Brother and I; thats all...
as I look back.
