Kay Barcelon Poems

Why not date a lawyer if you like to argue
You might enjoy a playful verbal battle
Why not date a pilot if you like to be on schedule
Just don’t be late or you’d miss his flight
...

Too many politics; Too much religion
Unjust philosophies; Too much tension
If I am confused, how about the children
Undo the indifference, create a common mission
...

I come home from school and do my homework
Before dark I watch my mom prepare for supper
Wait for the other sibling to get home from work
Around six one by one they come home to gather
...

Conceived unexpectedly
Out of lust of a young mind
She was the unwanted soul
Which he strongly disowned
...

She was the prettiest girl in school
A preacher’s daughter and thirteen
I remember how naughty she was
She gave me my first French kiss
...

Watching a void from a distant
I caught a glimpse of you watching me
Our eyes met for one brief moment
And uttered more than words ever could
...

She dresses up in gold
And sparkles with diamond
But there is one thing untold
She is a poor woman chameleon
...

With my eyes fully shut
I threw the dice and I dared
Went all the way ever pushing the limit
Only to find out that you never really cared
...

Defenseless as a butterfly
Vulnerable, soft and fragile
Playing a role only to please
A cycle that will not cease
...

Scars represent courage and valor
Scars mean we got over the pain
...
