Ismael Rodriguez Poems

My love for you is like a game
Of chess played in the pouring rain
A battle between two armies, small
But oh, the stakes are high and all
...

Good things, just got unique
That's the way, it is, and that's the way, it'll be
With a twist, that's unexpected, and surprising, and refreshing
With a surprise, that's refreshing, and surprising, and unexpected
...

The struggle against addiction,
It's a constant fight,
It drains me of strength,
It fills me with fright.
...

Within and without reflect each other,
Like two sides of the same coin.
What lies within us shapes our outer selves,
And what we show to the world reflects our inner joy or turmoil.
...

The eternal now,
A fleeting moment in the mind.
The future is but a dream,
A story yet to be defined.
...

Pedantic machismo, a facade so grand,
A false sense of power, in a weak man's hand.
A show of dominance, a need to control,
A mask of bravado, that takes its toll.
...

Together, never apart,
Bound by a bond that warms the heart.
A connection that endures through time,
A friendship that shines so bright and divine.
...

Take me on a drive, down the lost highway,
Where the wind blows wild, and the skies are grey,
Where the road stretches out, as far as the eye can see,
And the world fades away, just you and me.
...
