June FeirCruz Poems

I am still a rock star
My stage is my kitchen
My percussions are my pots and pans
My fan base my husband and son
...

We have known each other for so long
You always treated me with sweetness and compassion
And now I found myself crossing the line of discretion
And I am not so sure you welcome the intrusion
...

I miss you and I don't know what to do with myself
In a perfect world: I would be tracing your face with my fingertips
Bring your face close to mine, kissing your eyes, the tip of your nose
and last but not the least: your lips.
...

I do not know why I feel so much pain
Part of me want this insanity to end
Yet you also don't want to let go
Why the ambivalence, only the heavens know
...

Having been in an unhappy marriage far too long
My beautiful friend said 'so long'
Hasta la bye bye she told her ex husband
My time has come
...

Just how many times does a love affair ends?
It looks like a 'Burton - Liz Taylor' all over again
Though you have never given me diamonds or baubles or gifts of any kind
All you wanted to give me was your measurement as a man
...

Did you think I would just allow you to continue hurting me?
Just because you gave me a penny or two
That you have the right to be unkind to me?
You think that you are so nice, but you are not.
...

It was sheer agony when we said goodbye this morning
I could see your eyes while you held me
They were the eyes of a stranger, and yet they know my secrets
And they reflected my loneliness.
...

Your hands may be rough and calloused,
Yet they touch me with such tenderness
And they feel like velvet in my skin.
Your skin is red from the sun,
...

The gray on my hair
The wrinkles on my face
The crows' feet that won't quit
These are the sacred places of my life.
...
