Mark Ruiz Poems

The sky that morning took my breath far from me,
Purple, blue, and yellow as far as the eye could see.
Sun rises after rainfall and left this moment in time,
Fate created this moment for poetry and rhyme.
...

On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me;
A present wrapped in Ribbons Bright.
But a present not that screams the blame,
Something worth decorating lush,
...

Our lusting eyes destroy us all,
Wanting what we don't need.
Love and passion cease to exsist.
How can we supress it though?
...

What are you? Really.
Exterior shows the praised character.
So beautiful, so exotic.
Yet I know you not.
...

You sit there, dark-eyed, waiting.
At times I think of you.
My life revolves around you.
My hands hold another now.
...

I return to you today,
My flame-topped temptress
Or rather yet, we return
To one another.
...

Hear the night sky scream
As we slumber in our dreams.
Hear time itself uncoil, unwind
As we hate mercilessly without reason or mind.
...

At long last my eyes will close,
Unafraid to lessen my grip.
My world itself, growm brighter.
Body weightless, mind cleared.
...

Momma don't worry I'll be home safe and sound.
Anyway I go I know I'm homeward bound.
Tonight's another night, another notch in my belt.
And maybe when I get older, Ma, I'll know what you felt,
...
