Julio Poems

The vessels were already full


I could've let my head rest on your shoulder,
I could've held you tight in my arms,
In the rain, I could've made declarations of love,
But life felt complete there,
Life felt enough there,
Everything felt ready,
Ripened,
            like a ray,
No space for nonsense,
No space for words,

Julio, Come To Me

I'm in a hospital room 
for something. 
Head trauma? 
The doctors are feeding 
me these pills. 
Except, they're not 
doctors, 
they're these, you know 
cosmic beings 
stalking from the corner 
of this dusty 
Hexagon. 
What I thought 
were pills 
I now know 
are the vital 
crystals of  
endoenlightenment. 
I clasp them with 
my hand

Love and Fear By Julio Trujillo 8th Grade

Was it love at first sight?
      You know I would fight.
Try to hold on,
      so our love won't be gone.

Should I love you or fear you?
     I guess I just want to hear you.
Stay near me,
    please don't

Julio To Marylyn!!

I love just the way you are 


I don't want you to change 
your life for me.

Just wait a while, and soon 
you'll see.

I love you for more than 
what you are,

I love you for what you've done 
by far.

You've changed my life 
in many ways,

And brightened every one 
of my days.

I don't want you

Julio To Marylyn!!

Heart                  
 As I follow my heart
down its path
straight and true,
I know it leads only...
Only to you.

Should the path become misted
Cloudy with harm,
My heart will not swerve...
Its course, straight to your arms.

This path is fearless to walk,
Though fear
