Shelby Jasmin Estrada Poems

I used to see you as someone I loved

I used to think you were the stars in the sky
...

Birds flying lightly through the deep blue sky
Like their life have no problems
They only have their destination;
wherever weather takes them
...

The rivers flow is desperate
Desperate to meet the ocean
The deep blue ocean
The rivers flow is winding
...

I'm lying with you in a bed with white sheets
We are just lying there, talking
I reach under the matress, while you start to fall asleep
...

Dark sand running through my fingers
Like water dripping from the leaves of a palm tree
Smooth and rushing
This dark sand
...

This single arrow is the only thing keeping my heart together
Pull it out and I will love you
Because you have killed me
And all that have caused my pain
...

Walking in the hot sun
Feet aching
Legs and back throbbing
Smelling gasoline zoom by
...

You are special
You are beautiful
You are wonderful
...

A single leaf blowing on the cool ground like a lone tumbleweed
Naked trees shivering as the wind blows; as I’m walking down the road
I’m thinking to myself “Why does this weather change my emotions like a bird caught in the twirls of wind
Shifting and changing me
...

I love everything you do
The way you love me
All the things you do
The way you move your lips
...
