Emily Velasco Poems

of words not spoken
of emotions not felt
of time wasted
of two people not meant to be with
...

whisper nothing but still hear something
sing duets like the lyrics are ours
and walk our lifetime starting now
...

wish i am the one who warms your chilly night
wish i am the one you see in your morning light
wish i am the moon who shares your lonely night
wish i am the grass you set foot onyour rainy plight
...

i have felt love and pain
experienced life and death
i have cried and laughed
in anger and happy times, tears were shed
...

when i'm old and 56
i'll buy me a new coffeemaker
and brew the bitter away
fill my cup with muscovado
...

am jealous of the rain that touches your skin

jealous of the moon that stares at you all night
...

Whose heart do I give this love?

To the morning sun who promises a life of fun
To the laughter that never fails to warm the heart
...

and when i look back
i'd see nothing...
i'd feel nothing...
...
