Daniel Carrasquillo Poem
I got the message
Long before we knew
There was little chance
Of us meeting at all
When I first saw you
By zephyr via zest
As I tried to keep composure
I heard you say
Without a sound
"It was an accident"
And I knew
We would get close
Even though
It appears to be a
Midwest love affair
I bend thoughts
When I am bored
It always leads
To bed
Or to the floor
Can we fake it
That people don't make believe
That I'm not loving
It makes me sick
I doubt you believe them
I believe in you
All I can do
Is close my eyes
Cross my arms
Hope not to die
I’m hallucinating
As I see an angel
In the perimeter
Of my eyes
Much time goes by
With no velocity
Empty headed dreaming
Till I don't realize it
Just when I had forgotten
I get woken up
By a sound
Up close
Long winds of promises
That sound the same
Till far away
It then metamorphosis into
An aura of
Zany exponential changes
Without the reign
Of every moment
There is nothing different
Nothing the same
People say
"It was an accident
With accidents you never know"
That’s why I say
There be a need
Or at least potential to say
"You are my number one"
Midwest,
Aftermath
Rumors start to rise
Did I truly do
Something that immoral
For them
To hate me that much
They hate me
It sickens me
And scares them
The one I
Consider fun
Believe is cute
Cause they don't listen
To what I have to say
So I don't...
Argue
Agree
Or listen
You hit the road
And delivered me
Into an ocean
Of myself
Did you know
I can’t swim
In the silent ocean
Of myself
Your reading this
Your not around
All I can do
Is cross my arms
And wish it was you
And not my knees in them
As with accidents
You never know
Good or bad
Ultimately
You never know

Daniel Carrasquillo Poem
Some hearts go hungry
Through-out the world
And never find
The love they seek
Some lips
Are curled
With pride and scorn
To hide the pain
They might not speak of
The eyes may flash
The mouth may smile
And yet,
Beneath it all
The heart starves still
Just look, find love
As hearts hunger
Through-out the world
For them does
Life’s desert hold
No fountains’ shade?
No gardens fair?
Nor gush of waters clear and cold?
But souly rough sandy reaches
Far as you can see
Wide and bare
The foot may fail
The heart may be faint
Yet still,
They make no complaint
And speak no word
Of grief or blame
And yet,
Beneath it all
The heart starves still
Just look, find love
As hearts hunger
Through-out the world
Eager eyes
Gaze afar
Arms that clasp knees
Or worse, empty air
Or even trying
Not at all
Unmarked souls
Are empty to the naked eye
But might be filled with to a professional
With pain, regret, or despair
They smile,
Their patient lips
Will proudly hide
What the heart feels
So proudly numb of
Just look, find love
As hearts hunger
Through-out the world
