Did I miss you?

Did I miss you?
Probably not,
When you are my heart,
Missing you will be like missing the beat of my heart.

Did I miss you?
May be I did.
When I am in love with your heart,
Your bodily presence is the thought of the past.

Did I miss you?
Of course I did.
When I don't hear your sweet caring voice,
I am lost in your thoughts whole night.

Did I miss you?
I can never miss you.
Even if I missed you for a moment,
The pang of such loneliness will be sweet thing to relish.

Indifference

Yesterday I was in deep love,
The love overlooked all the differences,
Even the two bodily differences,
The love tried to unite in one.

Today my love has gone stale,
The little differences we overlooked,
have become mountain from the mole,
The hearts which were overcoming all the differences,
Are becoming indifferent to each others existence.

When living a life, why be so indifferent,
Underneath the face of hate lies the smirk of love,
Under the uneasy feeling of indifference,
Lies the restless nights looking for that love again.

The indifference sends creepy feelings inside my heart,
when we promised we will be for each other forever as long as we last,
The conflicts, the hurdles and the irreconcilable differences,
should not keep us from reigniting our passion of love.

The Poet

The days may be long with the routine work,
But the nights are always short and charming,
The day's work is to keep me living,
The night's charm is to keep me intoxicated with the love of poems.

When the sun sets and everyone goes to sleep,
I peer at the millions of stars blinking in the sky,
My mind blinks with the little shining stars,
I am wide awake hearing the song of my heart.

Who says you can see mirage only in hot day light,
The mirage of love dances before me whole night,
The dream of me and my lover united in eternal love,
Keeps me restless and churning emotions inside me.

I want to live in the loving world I want to see everyone happy,
My heart bleeds when I see someone lonely and unhappy,
The drugs, wars, and political greed drive me insane,
I wonder sometimes whether we can all live in peace and harmony.

The emotions I try to etch on a piece of paper,
May take a while to engrave,
But the mural I paint with tears, emotions and my heart,
Will be there for you to share and feel as a poem from my heart.

Take me to the promised land

Take me to promised land..

Growing up in Guatamala,
I had heard of the nation due El Norte,
Many from my village had gone there,
Brought up money and tall stories.

I grew up in a poor family,
Eating tortillas, beans and meat sometimes,
Played soccer, baseball, and went to school,
Loved little senoritas going to school.

As a youth, finally found senorita of my dream,
Got married in the village church with fiesta and mariachi band,
The time seemed to go fast some times,
Soon I was the father of four children, and many mouth to feed.

I told my wife, it is time to go to nation due El Norte,
Find a job, bring some money for family and kids,
My wife would not let me go, but finally gave up to my dreams,
I was ready to go and work and fufill family dreams.

I had to pay the Coyote(Smuggler agent) a huge sum of money,
I had to sell my land and wife's jewelry,
But in the land due El Norte, everyone has a dream,
I had a dream that I will overcome all the problems.

We were almost fifty in the group,
The coyote promised us to get through the border,
We rode bus from Guatamala City through Mexico,
Finally we were dumped near Arizona border with little food and water.

Now we were on our own, the coyote was long gone,
We will run through the cactus desert whole night,
We will try to catch some sleep under a bush in broad day light,
The old ones were weak and trembling,
Many did not make it, many just gave up the dream.

Finally one night, we ran across to the nation due El Norte,
The USA was land of our dream,
We were running from town to town,
Till I found some friends who were settled in some town.

Now we stand near the big box home improvement store,
Hoping someone would pick us for a day's work,
The work is hard, people want everything get done,
The time and money is on everyone's mind.

I hoped that I would buy back my land and my wife's jewelry in no time,
After three years, I even don't have enogh money to go and see my children,
I send some money home to my wife for my family,
The rest I spent on house, food and other necessities of life.

Many employers ask me this question over and over again,
Is this way of life worthwhile for a little bit of money?
Although my English is very poor, I hardly understand many words,
But I understand the question and my answer is this,
It is better to struggle and achieve your dreams,
Than to just live in poverty on tortillas and beans.
