Ray Gutierrez Poem
I AM THE SHADOW OF YOUR LOVERS SMILE,
THE LONELY I ACHE THAT LASTS A WHILE...
THE WRONG THAT ONCE WAS RIGHT
THE PAIN THAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT.
I AM THE TEAR THAT ROLLS DOWN YOUR CHEEK,
WHEN YOU DREAM OF WHAT ONCE WAS AND NOW IS GONE...
HER EYES, HER SMILE, THE LAUGH THAT MADE YOU FEEL SO
GOOD EVEN WHEN ALL WAS WRONG.
I AM THE SLEEP THAT EVADES YOU AS YOU TOSS AND TURN
AND TRY TO REST,
I AM THE SHAME, THE ANGER THAT MAKES YOU BURN...
THE ACHE YOU FEEL WHEN THINGS GO WRONG AS YOU TRY TO DO YOUR BEST.
I AM THAT WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUT NEVER WAS,
A MEMORY OF YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR HOPES.... THAT WENT UP LIKE A WISP OF SMOKE.
I AM THE LOVE THAT YOU WANT TO HOLD...
THAT ONCE WAS WARM BUT NOW IS COLD.
I AM THE FAILURE, THE DEFEAT THAT WAKES YOU IN THE MORNING AND PUTS YOU TO BED AT NIGHT
I AM THE ACHE THAT MAKES YOUR HEART SORE
I AM ALL THAT AND MUCH, MUCH MORE....
I AM HERE TODAY AND I’LL BE HERE TOMORROW
AND I WILL BE HERE LONGER THAN A WHILE...
FOR I AM THE SHADOW OF YOUR LOVERS SMILE.

Ray Gutierrez Poem
LOST & LONELY
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A BIRD WITH A BROKEN WING,
DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING...
DON’T CARE WHERE I’VE BEEN.
JUST LIKE THAT BIRD I CAN FEEL ME FALLING
SPINNING....SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL...
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING...
FINDING NOTHING AT ALL.
DESPERATE THOUGHTS IN THE NIGHT I CRY,
DISTURBING SHADOWS OF TEARS ROLL FROM MY EYES...
AS I SEARCH FOR COMFORT ABOVE
TOO SOON I FEEL THE DEATH OF LOVE.
AND LIKE THE BIRD WITH THE BROKEN WING
I SACRIFICE MY SOUL
IF LOVE IS GONE...
THEN DEATH IS ALL I KNOW.

Ray Gutierrez Poem
Look in your mirror...
Tell me what you see,
Is it your reflection...?
Or are you seeing me?
Look in your mirror it won’t tell you no lies,
Look deep inside it
Look deep in your eyes.
That... what you hate and that you criticize,
Is what you are seeing,
Right now in your eyes....
The anger, the words that you can’t control,
The things you despise in me....
Now in your life are taking their toll.
You notice everything I say and do,
Without noticing that you’re doing the same
things too.
So look in your mirror,
And tell me what you see....
Is that your reflection...?
Or are you seeing me?
