Son las tres de la mañana
y la banda sigue tocando-
con todos felices,
las mujeres bailando-
ni siquiera se dan cuenta
que están castigados.
Pero siempre hay un curioso
que encuentra la escalera,
y poco va realizando
que los pisos van pa' abajo.

Deciduous like a buckeye-
time has only shown,
what your true colors are.
Moonlight has a way
of turning night to day,
gifting me the sight of real you.
Lies by omission
should have been a red flag-
Steadfast hearts,
turn the other cheek.

To a cardinal high,
all things are possible-
Jeez, what a view
on the farm down below.
Blue like the sky
on that warm summer day,
three birds sat alone on a tree.
I don’t have birds like this
in the city where I live,
so we took some feathers-

Oh how I love
my California coast-
my people and their stories
who helped me find a voice-
to well lit city streets
full of art and ecstasy,
how easy to get lost within a crowd.
But just under the music-
when gears no longer turn,
trust me when I... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 25 Views added 3 years ago

This place was a joy
to a drunken old man-
rainy June day,
stuck in the mud,
memories made-
right on this bench.
A field full of love
where we would escape,
dancing out in the open
to no music at all,
our bodies were one
and our hearts were... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 5 Views added 3 years ago

Only once every day
can you watch the sun rise,
out of fields in the east
and over mountains in the west-
only once every day
can you watch the sun rise.
Are you cliché like me?
Do you look up at the moon-
in hopes that a person you love,
is looking... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 7 Views added 3 years ago

When my brother passed,
I said I would quit-
it was never a promise-
I could see through my shit.
I have nothing but time,
I could do it my way-
corner store to buy beers,

There are major fires burning all around me-
all motivated by the forceful winds.
The ominous ashes engulf the sky,
The Sun is not visible.
Is this the end?
The winds howl like a wolf
divided from the pack.
The sky is red,
bleeding away its tears of... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 33 Views added 3 years ago

Come one.
Come all.
I am in no place to judge.
I’m happy you’re here.
may you find comfort,
on my breasts.
On a bustling city street,
or in a filthy lot-
should you ever feel blue,
just know you have a... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 9 Views added 3 years ago

Unlike the swift motions,
one might make on the stage-
the people dance,
quickly-
like the turn of a page.
A scene that is not dark,
our streets are always day-
the people dance,
with trust-
that light will always... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 44 Views added 3 years ago

You could be on top of the world-
but still,
you would come down for me.
The travertine-
placed beneath your feet,
has never been enough.
Reminiscing on a distant self,
would all go up in smoke.
Everlasting clouds,
were made to hold you high-
yet... – by Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. | 31 Views added 3 years ago
