Hi!

Welcome to my poetry blog!

I am a twenty-four brown-eyed Aruban wanderer;
forever questioning where I'm going
and where I've been.
And when I'm not reading,
I'm writing. When I'm not writing, I'm reading.

Furthermore, writing has always been my
way of captivating a deep thought, grief,
lost love, depression and even hatred (sometimes).

Feel free to read and comment on my weird,
puzzling, obsessive, reckless and sometimes
confusing poems. It's all about what you
interpret from them that gets me buzzin'!


Thank you and have fun reading y'all.

Lego Heart



I am the man with the Lego heart;
waiting my turn to be whole.

Canons are shot.
Holes are made.
Bubbles are popped.
Worlds away.

Yeah,
sometimes people manage to get a block off.
But,
they don’t seem to be able to break my heart.

I am emotionally neutral;
from the center to the top.

Because,
I can always put it back together again.
Because,
I am the man with the Lego heart.

Canons are lowered.
Holes are plugged.
Bubbles are blown.
Worlds apart.

Waiting my turn with the one with the Tender Hands.

Wings of Love





Butterfly
Lovely, enchanting
Fluttering, panicking, capturing
The moment I fell
Love


Concrete Porch



Concrete Porch
He swept;
broom- behind us,
as if we were dead mites
collected from seven years in
his house.

Falco



Falco
My fledgling heart grows
for the curve of your broad hand
the oak in your veins.
Lover, don’t cut my russet wings.
Take me as wild as tame.

I will keep you safe
in the nest no hunter games
with the life of Nature.
Your Master I will be. But-
take you as wild as Falco.

The Barica Geel 'secret'



The Barica Geel ‘secret’
Sugar for dimes make
this fella
a happy tree bird

Freedom Bird



Freedom Bird
He holds me and I feel like soaring high,
Chirping my little tune,
Stretching our black and white wings.
 
The way he loves me,
I fall and he sees me fly;
he holds me and I feel like soaring high.

Finding no reason to cry,
within his steady hold,
chirping my little tune.

The ground singes our feet,
but all I feel is his hold while
stretching our black and white wings.
