Jorge Toro Poem
Your mysticism captivates my world today
Covered in gold and ruins
We try to decode
What you left behind for us so long
Its been five thousand years
And we still feel so lost without you
Let your sun god Ra
Show us the path you took
The pyramids were the keys to your afterlives
Show us how to live our lives
I live in a world covered in blame
With people constantly finding someone else to blame
No boy king in Tut in our day
No Cleopatra ruling any day
Just a lot of villains called politicians
Oh great Egyptian Pharaohs
Show us how you brought prosperity and peace
To your once unstable land

Jorge Toro Poem
As the sun descends
For its evening rest
My eyes refuse to comply
They constantly search for the light
Keeping me awake deep into the night
Poems of nonfiction and fiction
Are quickly typed away
My mind well beyond drain
My eyes covet my more light
My body is mysteriously awake
But ready to crash as well
The flood gates of uncertainty
Are unfortunately opened
Random thoughts of darkness
Surreptitiously creep into my vulnerable mind
Scared to death
I hope this isn’t my last breathe
A romantic tragedy
Playing out in my mind
I beg for sleep
Suddenly I am awake
But when I did I fall asleep
I guess it was
Just another
Restless Night

Jorge Toro Poem
There you were
I held you in my hands
You were my gift
After nine months of care
I wished for you hopes and dreams to come true
You were my dream come true
I guess my prayers weren’t listened to
But someone took you away from me much too soon
I said hello to you
But I never said goodbye
I still can’t believe you died
My soul and heart forever broken
Nothing to make it better or fix it
I laid you to rest on many nights
Knowing you would wake up
Unfortunately,today I laid you to rest
Asking god to love and protect you
In heaven you wait for me
To resume our relationship of mother and son

Jorge Toro Poem
The young dream their dreams away at night
Hoping they come true
A doctor,policemen,veterinarian and other dreams are developed by the young
Too naive to understand the ways of the world
Determined as ever to achieve their dreams
The old regret the dreams they could never accomplish
They had dreams but unknowingly never came true
You go from living a world full of dreams
To living the reality that is life
Why do we let our dreams die
We were so excited as young kids
At the foot step of our dreams
Were we haunted by the mountain we had to climb
To make our dreams come true
Did we simply quit
Because of society’s pressure
Did money deter our dreams away while we slept at night
Did we let doubt creepy into our hearts
Silently killing all of our dreams without realizing it
Why do dreams die so quickly
When we spent years of our youth
Hoping that we could get an opportunity
To make them come true
Dream big, chase your dreams and never let them die

Jorge Toro Poem
This is the man that I am
No need for a detective because I have few mysteries
Whatever you don’t find its trapped somewhere inside my mind
I put my life into words for the whole world to read
I hope you enjoy what you see
A South Korean English teacher by night
An avid writer by day
A helpless romantic somewhere in between
The smile and joy from my students is priceless
Seeing someone enjoy my writings is pretty rewarding as well
I feel that everything in my life is finally going well
From my writings you may find that hard to tell
Sorry I don’t write more fantasies or fables
To convey happy emotions and attract more followers
You are getting my life through my eyes
I don’t have a sweet tooth so I don’t sugarcoat things
I write what I have seen and how it has effected me
My adventures and journeys have been vast
Come with me on this ride
Together we can both be pleasantly surprised
With what I will write
This is the the man that I am

Jorge Toro Poem
All the violence on TV was probably not good for me
All the decapitated corpses on video games not the brightest idea for me
Life’s real dramas just frustrate me
All the fabricated television dramas annoy me
We all love a happy ending yet we consume the misery and pain of others
Haunted by life changing events
At times I just simply need to vent
Why be educated and humble when being ignorant and shallow brings you fame
Why save your virginity for marriage, when society’s sluts take all the good guys that a girl covets
Why be a nice guy, when all the respectable women settle for assholes yet are surprised when they are mistreated and cheated on
Why live a life down the correct path, when the wrong path is glorified and admired by society
Beneath the darkness and rubble of life exist the flickering white light of my once pure heart

Jorge Toro Poem
A barren land
Is transformed formed into
A winter paradise
A white blank of snow
Covers everything that the eyes can see
The tumbling cooling breeze of winter
Bring peace to this once barren land
The bears sleep for the winter
The flowers await the warmth of spring
The kids come out and play
All day as they may
Their imaginations running while
A snowball fight is the best war
A snow angel to decorate the landscape
A majestical snowman becomes the main attraction
A child’s laugh is the best medicine
For a cold and stern heart
Rejoice in this paradise
It’s winter
The dawn of a new beginning

Jorge Toro Poem
So you can crush my hopes
Destroy my dreams
Puncture my heart
Murder my self esteem
Vaporize my personal confidence
Humiliate my ego
While throwing me into an abyss of self doubt
On the bright side
You will give me plenty of new material
To write about
I guess I should be in a relationship more often
I guess this is the life of a writer

Jorge Toro Poem
The gates of hell have been violently open. The world begins to rumble and scatter in fear. Earth’s volcanoes spew magma and ash from its core. The clouds quickly gather as the thunder and lightning signal the wrath to come. Earth’s crust opens its mouth ready to swallow cities and nation’s whole. Suddenly a white and peaceful light emerges from the horizon. This elegant and stunning figure seems not all frightened by all the chaos. She gingerly kisses and hugs the tormented man. All of this madness was inside the man’s mind. The stress and pressure of life almost got to the man. Drugs and alcohol never gave him relief but all it took was a woman’s touch.

Jorge Toro Poem
Sorry if I came here illegally
My country lacked opportunity
So this is how it had to be
Never took anything from you
Paid my taxes just like you
Society let the color of my skin in
But shamed my people and culture
I chased the American dream
As Americans wanted all my people to leave
I adapted to your culture
Your way of life
What more can I do
To say that I truly appreciate the red,white and blue
