Jack In the Box Tacos

My stomach grumbled
As i smelled the aroma

I was so hungry i could have eaten my socks
I got the 2 for' special
I bought 12

As i took my first bite
it was hard to slow down
So delicious so yummy

but what are these jack in the box tacos?
Are they chicken, beef or pork. . I asked Jeeves

He laughed and he laughed
Silly girl, he said
it is pig intestines, stomach and spleens

My stomach turned sour,
shock on my face

As I turned my head 
vomiting on my sleeve

I couldn't believe the violation
that had just taken place in my mouth

The only thing that made me feel better
was knowing you ate 3 more than me

Romantic Dinner

Saying Whatever, Why don't you care
Why should I have bothered with you
I tried so hard without thanks
Should have made Beans and Franks 
I had slaved all day
In the Kitchen
now you get 
nothing
starve!

My Friend Is Gone

The 
                                             Day       that
                                         you    were  gone
                                     I  cried to the heavens
                               Why take the only person that
                            understands me away?  why is life 
                       so cruel? I don't care if there was a bigger
                  plan for him, I needed him here. To Be with me
            Because He was my rock, my sturdy ladder.He would hold
                 me up when I would fall. He would wipe my tears
                        w hen I felt sorrow. The one person who 
                             had always believed i could. Giving
                                Yet never taking in return. I cry
                                      myself to sleep wishing
                                            for him to return
                                              to me  be  my 
                                                friend once
                                                    again

The Little Boy

At age six, he was abused,  neglected and beaten daily.

He never understood why God allowed this to happen to him.

Time will help him heal his scars and put love into his heart.

Dear Manuel

We were so close
You were always there for me
I feared nothing
When you were near
When I was little, I would fall asleep
Safe in your arms

We would joke and laugh 
Til we were blue in the face
We always had so much fun

You were always so giving
Especially with your love

I could always come to you 
With any problems that I had
No matter how big
No matter how small

I could never have imagined
My life without you

When you got sick
You were never afraid
You always stayed positive 
And never cried a tear

'Dont worry about me'  you once said
'Worry about the ones that I shall leave behind'

I didn't go to your funeral
Funerals are for people to say good-bye 
And remember great times
I already said my good-byes when you were still alive
And I dont have to remember because I will never forget

I still can't believe that you are gone 
I keep thinking that I can just pick up the phone
And I would hear your voice on the other end

I will miss christmas the most
When your visits were long
We would laugh and reminisce
Of all the crazy things our family has done

You were a great person 
That I was truly privelaged to know
And even more privelaged to call you my Uncle

I love you, My Dear Uncle Manuel
The memories I have of you, 
Not even cancer can take away. . . .

The Day That I Died

I don't remember much
the day that I died
But the things that I do
 are still fresh in my mind
like venom
 in my veins
First the sting
 Then the sweet
as I took my ride
 like I always did
the spinning,the whirling, the constant
Even though it was the same
Yet different ever time
remembering the first
forgetting the last
I would hold onto the sounds
as I let go of the light
My mind so clear
yet filled with confusion
Why even bother to fear
something you cannot change
In truth
I didn't want it to change
My breathing grew shallow
 My eyes became slated
the darkness  crept in
as it always did
on this journey
That I took many times
This time was different
the light did not return
no headache to welcome me back to reality, 
just dark in my eyes. 
No white light
 no shiny gates
no one
 alone
I had left this world
 just as I had entered it. 
the day that I died

Joshua

You blamed me 
For how things ended
Never taking responsibility 
for your part
After we parted 
your behavior turned rancid
sex with strangers, drugs and anger
Now you are getting married 
to someone you have dated for 2 months
Even though we were together for 5 years
You got angry with me, when I asked you to marry me
Even if I wanted to be with you again
After the things you did
It justified the end
Never again will I hold you close
Always a spot in my heart 
I will hold for you
But you will never have the whole
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do
To say good-bye to the one that i still loved
I was more lonely being with you 
Then I ever was without you
Im better without your poison within me
It hurt, but I will heal
For you are the one who lost, and you can never have it again
