Zaida Ruiz Poem
Your silence only
ampliphies the lies
And keeps problems and
doubts well fed
Comfort and trust
quickly sicken and die
What's left is a shell of a
memory
a life
Shreds of things we've
built together
Float through the still, stale
air
of betrayal
a desolate place where
decisions are hard
and consequences seem
heavier
than the mistakes that
gave birth to them
In these periodic moments
of paralyzing sadness
I consider jumping off
the side of this island
Into the unknown
with nothing but a leaky
raft
of pain, broken oars to
guide myself further into
solitude and the leftover
vows we couldn't keep

Zaida Ruiz Poem
You
Like
String
Cheese
And
I
Laughed
When
The
Thought
Came
To
Me
It is just imitation shoelaces
I thought about how disillusioned
You became
And I tried to tell you
How to change the way
You see the world
And tie
The
Bad
Stuff
Up
With
String
cheese

There is nothing like
Your smoldering summer touch
I miss you so much

Zaida Ruiz Poem
I have a fantasy
something that can't be retold
something so bold
to go broke
to be homeless
only to still have home
to still have my beloved
to be drunk on love
so drunk that I don't
know right from straight
to be so enraptured that it means nothing as long as he is by my isde
youth
destruction
bliss
paris
random...to lead a random life
full of uknowns..and for it to bother me not.

Sharp as winter wind
sadness touches me again
freezing me once more

Zaida Ruiz Poem
He lights
The sun
With a
Match
Each day
And the silence
Of night
Is broken
By the
Crackling of
flames

Zaida Ruiz Poem
Silhouette of a sassy
Little sex pot
Trembling in midnight air
By her big white picture windowsill
Captured by a muse she feeds in her mind
Loved by homegrown worshippers
She never really has to leave
Bitter is as bitter does
And what has been seen are her bitter,
Reddened lips
And her fake silk-lined soul
All crazy nail biting
Vengeance and delusion
Oh the petulant crone!

Zaida Ruiz Poem
I opened up the sunrise
And used a shiny butter knife to
Spread it across the horizon
I watched it melt over a fresh,
Warm new day
There was the dark memory of
Evening still lingering
Like black coffee
the strange
Shade of moonlight
faded slowly as the day wore on

Zaida Ruiz Poem
To be with you is just sublime
I need you more and more each time
sadness like rivers falling from the sky
drowning me indifferently
as I lie still and cry
You've carried me away
To a place where I could never stay
To see this chamber in your heart
To know it exists and be told I can have no part
It's the finest form of your twisted art
Your callous cruelty
Your final blow to my pulverized heart

Zaida Ruiz Poem
There are little boxes
Of happiness up high
On shelves where
No one can reach.
They are all yellow
And grey
And so light they might just
Float away
