j.c. monterrosa Poems

I burn with flames that lick my soul,
A once proud core doused in malaise,
Lust and knowledge forever clashing,
Melting in the blaze…
...

Kaleidoscope
I was all of maybe five years old
And everyone was there for me,
...

Rays of sunshine light the streets
As people scurry back and forth;
My thoughts remain outdoors …
...

More Than Ever
...

Cold, alone
dark and howling wind
rustling leaves and shifting spirits
rain pitter pattering
...

caged within this world we share
with boundless seas,
endless earth,
...

fire touches skin
and smoke from burning flesh
rises up above, tickling my nose,
forcing me to frown.
...

listen to the words that echo
through the walls of your beating heart;
ripples of the blessings cast upon you,
words that clothe you with angelic grace…
...

the words to say how much I loved you
are nowhere near my tongue
I kneel before you now in silence
To bathe your spirit with my tears
...

Alone
...
