Marissa Savino Poem
"A”
A
Real strong pillar woman
Super endless powers woman
Phenomenal take over the globe woman
Round the clock 24/7 woman
not A
Runway model inches of mascara woman
Heels to high to walk woman
Picture perfect Mrs. Cleaver woman
Stop watch reset clock woman
Who do I admire who do I thank who do I applaud…mirrored womAn
Enhanced senses of Keller, determination of Earhart
Flawed, realness, heart of Hepburn and Monroe
True beauty icons not pimped on billboards
Fight of Susan B. Anthony, outspoken voice of Rosa Parks
Strength of Laila Ali, heartfelt hands of AKeys, eloquence of Maya
…mirrored womAn

Marissa Savino Poem
“Beautiful smile”
eyes engulfed steals the crowd
“thank you”
fakest pageant voice presidential smile
beautiful smile ???
do you see what i see
hear what i hear
touch the glass
taste the bitter
feel the burden
“Strength of a Goddess, how does she do it” ?
“how do i do it”?
pillar of confidence indestructible cape
“how do i do it” ???
fatigue slug body
heavy eyelids
pumping throbbing brain
racing
maze finish line…
crumbling pillar
endless clouds of smoke
residue of hope
“She was, so
Amazing Phenomenal, etc. etc…
Heads shake bow down
catch tears
light a candle
pass the hope

Marissa Savino Poem
Tribute
Arts is a necessity
the air we breathe
i said Arts is a necessity
the air we need to breathe
please feel free
when i am no longer a being
in this thing we pronounce L I F E
enclosed in my coffin...
splash some vibrant colors on my coffin
graffiti it up dance around my coffin
tribe to tribe
sing tunes of r&b, rock, jazz, metal, punk
and don't forget the blues on my coffin
spit some rhythm and rhymes, rhymes and rhythm
and beats of hip hop on my coffin
drumsticks and bass
wake up my soul the blood in my veins
hang a dali portrait on my coffin
8x10 of james dean
leave musical notes piano keys
pressed by alicia keys on my coffin
from the splish splash of vibrant colors grafitti
singin and dancin hip-hop-in
instruments chimin
art hangin actors blinkin...
i don't need to be a being
in this thing we pronounce L I F E
i breathe in
the necessity of The Arts
which keeps my heart beatin
enclosed in my coffin

Marissa Savino Poem
jsystem
you try
hummer beamer
white collar job
picket fence home
adulteries and mistresses
to strip me of pride
years of knuckle fighting
to have it by my side
badge hangs on a chain
cell keys close to your fingertips
badge reflects sin i attempt to reach for hope
blinded cursed
beat down
i try to cope
stretching for the end of the rope
attached to my kids
from my heart and sould
you aim to rid
loneliness fear i thought i hid
choose one key pandora's box
labels stigmas prejudices hate
attack me
predator to predator
lifeless motionless bait
i wait
of human rights i don't rate
will you still try
your fake fascade
crooked smile tainted touch of cell keys
to strip my pride
years of knuckle fighting
to have it by my side

Marissa Savino Poem
The Heart
racing insane tick tock
rack your brain fist beating insane
a tool machine
in your body
soul purpose
pump blood
to breathe to live
for life
instead
it’s feeding my soul
not tablespoons teaspoons but mouthfuls
of
butterfly kisses
love songs
hand in hand quivers
birds of Arecibo
rebirth of senses
whispers of mi princesa
foreign gourmet appetite
feels divine
to digest
I need crave body pulsates
for more
butterfly kisses
love songs
hand in hand quivers
birds of Arecibo
rebirth of senses
whispers of mi princesa
keep feeding my soul

Marissa Savino Poem
“Battle”
black skyline shades tripped out heels
staggered buzz u mistake for swagger through your high
u turn the corner
i turn the block eyes pumped open timbs tied tight
pushing subway cars and b-line trains
this ain’t Chutes and Ladders or Monopoly
your ass is Sorry mind Boggled out in Candy land
u turn the corner I turn the block with…
suburban land through flower beds
inner city behind bare trees…
my mouth
perfected picket fence 2 car garage
rundown no fence buzzed in…
my mouth
chromed keys and rims valet parking
repo man coming incognito parking…
my mouth
u turn the corner fall down in shame from the spin
i turn the block eyes pumped open timbs tied tight
pushing subway cars and b-line trains
stepping over you a pillar of rhythm no shame
with…my mouth
