Emmanuel Jay Espera Poems

I've felt sunlight caress my hard skin.
I've felt the way water seeps into my roots.
I've felt myself grow, deep within.
I've stood my ground, through countless disputes.
...

A better country
Is what I dream of.
A better country
Shouldn't be this tough
...

He saw me in white
On our first date
He saw me in white
It was like fate.
...

I lived in the cold,
Grasping whatever dreams I could hold.
I feed on fish for food,
Hoping the weather's in a good mood.
...
