Long Unbothered Poems

Yeah, I am, very faithful.

My question begins with, why do men cheat? 
Now I know women cheat too, but right now, I’m talking about the men. So like I said, “Why do men cheat?”

First and...

A boy and board in Brooklyn
bedeviled by the breath of baroque battles
bemused with a belligerent brain beauty
and befriended by battlefield bravado, 
the chessmen championed his ego
wickedly warring to a visionary's voodoo,
those soldiers of black and...

What can wash away my sin, Nothing but the blood of Jesus

I’m a product of perfection yet this love written in red doesn’t always feel free

I have never felt worthy, only dirty, so I wear...

There are times in life when you will come across or even be around people who “Don’t know.” And when you do, it’s okay. Understand, everybody won’t know you know you and because they don’t,...

In my blooming brokenness,
        I seek for a 
    clue of something meaningful,
but what if nothing    of velvety value

Part 2.

Into the wasteland he flies
To bury the souls of lies,
Beneath the leaves of time,
Dirty deeds must dirty die.

This then the watchman must do:

Step on the fingers that try,
With downward pulls to pry,
Into doom flower...

Look intently into that apple tree 
What do you see? 
Lo and Behold , a swarm of bees 
Something writhes and slithers,
Boomslang!!!!!
Wait ,is it even a snake or just a rope? 
Where have you ever...

That mesmerizing smile,  
or was it those dazzling eyes?  
One glance, I'm melting.  
It's more—it has to be.  
My trust is worth more than a pretty face.  

It must be...

EXCESSIVELY ENOUGH

I must admit it took me quite some time and maybe too long to see and realise how much the world is wrong! 
But now that I do, 
I am never going to let...

It's in the way I sit still so as to not fall apart,
Fall apart after what feels like being ripped out of my home.
It's every breath I breathe with a bleeding heart,
And nerves stretched thin...

A hurtful event occuring 
Covering all of the land.
Outside when I opened my eyes I saw nature crumbling 
Crumbling down as the sun sets.
The wind came from mountains 
Reached the ocean.
They ended their journey 
But...

The Slug

The slug is one of God’s creatures.
In his home in the forest land
He keeps the ground cleared with his crunching.
That’s  a good thing and I understand.

But why does he come to my garden

To cry…
Is to wash the soul from darkness 
And suffers
To exude the pain in matters, in seconds
To laugh…
Is to revive your soul and body 
Add minutes to your time
Add purpose to your life
To smile…
Is to...

A boy meant to be strong
And unbreakable but here
Contradictingly wrong
His heart lay shattered in chaos,
Broken inside by circumstances.
Growing up he never knew wht
Peace meant, trying to
Cease the burdens of
 his folks. 

His head lay heavy
For...

Her red lipstick 
May feel good 
For a moment 
On your skin 

The way 
It blends in
perfectly 
With your tattoos 

But I blur 
Her memory 
When 
My lips 

Leave bruises 
On your neck 
While I...

Since forever I've wanted to disappear,
Death is something I long for not something I fear,
For forever I've been imagining how life would be,
If flames turned me to ashes or if I became one with the...

I see beyond the 
   sea-snake crown
of thick-leaved jewels,
as a gossamer veil 
conceals jealous goblins 
 shape-shifting above
 a snow-dappled forest
 of freckled weeds…
there third-eye rests 
 amidst tangerine tentacles
 tearing my cinnamon...

Mi Amiga Querida del Alma, 2010
V. Ortiz Vazquez

Do you know? Do you remember the time and place?
I don’t
I don’t remember time nor place
But it is here today—Thursday, September 19, 2010

I search and search with no...

Indubitably deepening gazes keep daunting with his strides,
Farther, deeper struck am I, beside the citylights it lies;
Knowing not, what wrong was done, born as a girl, all alone,
To snatch my chastity, keeps me hither he,...

When was it, the day we first spoke?
When was it, the moment I stood next to you?
When was it, the time all guys came to me yet I seeked for love?
Maybe, I couldn't see you...

Once I knew to laugh
with the abandonment of youth;
unmindful of shocked gasps and disapproving glares.
Joy and merriment the wings underneath my laughter. 
For the sublime buoyancy laughter gave my soul, I laughed.
My laughter rivaled the...

It came ever so interesting how tears are spoken by sound from tiles,
I see weighing stones aloft.
I get to swing alone in the scale,
Unbothered by no feathers or gold...
Just myself, against nothing.
I have stories prepared...

Let me bring it to your attention and surprise
Of the foolish things purported to be wise
Lofty language and personalities are their guise
A hope seller's haven of clout and enterprise
Claiming sureness of the fate of a...

I went to my son’s open house last night
Hand in hand to meet my ex, his mother
His classroom was adorned with delight
Doting parents greeted each other 
I held on to my son clinging with fright

What have I become in a world coming undone?
Where chaos reigns and hope seems long gone?
Right before my eyes, I grip the darkness rise.
But amidst it all, a ray of light tries
