Jan Valdez Poems

Nightmares (Double Acrostic)

Nothing but joint suffering and loneliness
In this dark world where happiness is a crime.
...

*another acrostic..the first letters of each line; the first letter of the middle syllables of each line; and the last letters of each line make up the sentence: 'I will be with you forever'


Imparted to this pathWay is your own cradled grieF.
...

Don’t know who you are
Don’t know why you’re here
Don’t know if the view of sunset
In this bridge is clear
...

I used to ask what’s right or wrong.
If God hears all prayers and songs,
If angels visit me each night,
If the stars hide when there’s sunlight.
...
