The Addicts Dream
Today is the last time
Today is the last time
365 days
Is the lost time
Until the last time
When
The dream is lost forever

Teresa Rivera Poem
Is there a place I can sit and listen to the years
Of the things we done together
I feel the fear
That binds my heart
Because you’re gone forever
Could I find you
Just for a time
Let you know how I appreciate your life
this distance tears my mind
nothings promised but im
still emotional
when I sit still
I look up at the sky
And imagine now you can fly
And the glory of your new state makes me cry
To know you escaped
Every pain
Innate to life
So in your death
Something else is birthed on this earth
We cannot see
but while I drift here
you’ll sit
beside me
and bid me to watch the sun rise
through your eyes
its everything
I’ve never realized
Your alive
Just somewhere new
And when I seize that dark
Take that infinite walk
You will be there too
On the other side of time
Where life’s untold story
Shines
And
Shines

Teresa Rivera Poem
It is the horror
That awaits
After the thrill
The one thing that stays
Stalks
And waits for the kill
Thick fire
Ablaze in the hills
We keep walking towards it
Not facing the truth
It stays
It haunts
Our every move
Lay with me;
This may be our last moment of truth
The blaze inside thee
Threatens us
Forevermore

Teresa Rivera Poem
Come with me on a journey she said
I’ll never stop walking with you
His feet bled
She traced hearts with it
On her love he fed
Until the moon turned blue
The lives of the two
Lovers bound by hurt
Found safety in an unsettled world
Reveling in each other’s birth
This journey will never end he said
I will be one with you
Carving steps into infinity
We’ll be each other’s serenity
Two shining stars in a galaxy
Endless like the time

Teresa Rivera Poem
~And with a kiss he introduced her spirit
To a new world
The minute his lips chose her
She was undone
Reborn
In his bliss
She was transformed~

Teresa Rivera Poem
For every tear I swallow
Push down
And never allow to run away
The fear that stands before me
Crumbles and I see a little more out the tunnel
I pave the road before me
But before I can walk freely
To that place that feeds my soul
I must be fearless and whole
To attain the happiness my heart desires
Is not easy
The fears sit before me
Its just an illusion
My gifts are not in the physical
But I must march through the invisible
Seal up the past
Stay with the now
And wave at the future hoping it will know
I won’t give up
I will pursue the butterflies
Who show up to paint the sky around me
Pretty
While I walk alone
No pity
Just a tear that drops
Falls on my lips
Then stops
to let me taste the bitter
Before I claim the sweet
I will not accept defeat
The butterflies on the other side
Need me.
And if what they say is true
You will judge me
And that will not stop me
I’m the queen
Of my world
I make the rules

Teresa Rivera Poem
It’s the end and I’ve done all I can to survive this hurricane we call being in love
Why stay in the rain when the sky on the other side is bright with new beginnings
I fight the urge to regret the choice I made to be with you and put my trust
When all you want to do is put me down take me on a rollercoaster ride then leave me
Spinning wondering what I did to deserve your hatred toward me
Im a good person and I demand respect so because im hard on you when you mess up you want to
throw my mistakes in my face and make it seem like im not loyal to you
what is this that we call love
its damaging us
its leading us to say things we don’t mean
but it’s the end and its too late to redeem ourselves
the damage is done
after all the nights feeling empty inside
feeling misunderstood
we never say what we feel we only scream how much we hate
but really we hate ourselves
because we know this could have worked
but we chose unforgiveness and to be alone with the hurt
instead of holding on to love
it ends like its start
tumultuous

Teresa Rivera Poem
The dawn breaks through the dark
And I sit patiently waiting for the love that’s coming my way
If none is due to me
I won’t survive the winds I will not survive today
The sun will swell my tongue
My belly will grumble for sustenance is missing
There’s not enough will
I need a strong hand to protect and guide my blind eyes
If just for a moment
A loving heart will come my way
Not pass by me like I have no right to breathe
Healthy and unhealthy oxygen to fill my lungs
If for just a moment
A heart would think better than a mind
I could survive and learn the ways of life and be
Dependent
On only me

Teresa Rivera Poem
The length and lines that makes crevices
On your skin
I find beauty in the infinite things
Created to fulfill our curiosity
Are the empty spaces
Where time escapes the confines of our great galaxy
There is a place I know exists
Beyond what we will ever experience
All we embody, all we breathe is
The now
Until we catch a glimpse of the sun
We feel undone by the safe escape it provides
And we want to live forever
In the warmth
When the cold returns for its long dance
I will turn to you
For guidance
Tell me all you know about our world
It doesn’t matter
The lines that fill your eyes
When you squint
Will live with my spirit
And make my days
Like unlimited sun-rays
