Poems Called Heart of Thee, Salad and The Seer in Love by Teresita Blanco

Heart of Thee
by Teresita Blanco

Breathe in the fumes.

New winds bring cool air.

The sun’s flares

Sing the same tune.

Around the moon

And back again.

Helios rises,

Aurora falls.

Look beyond thee.

Why drag your feet

Over this pearly ocean.

Take my hand, please.

Dare to smile anew.

For a few hours,

You may forget.

The clock ticks.

The sun rises again… 

Salad
by Teresita Blanco

Weighted down by these iron chains,

Each new step, filled with pain.

The hearth quickens.

A knife to your neck.

Bend low and moo.

Eat this putrid grass.

Start again,

This tortuous fast.

Futility races, all efforts, wasted.

You give another step

And your chest bursts

Crimson rose, red.

The flowers are blooming

Masking Thanatos’ perfume. 

The Seer in Love
by Teresita Blanco

I can see you

As clear as daylight.

Your fragrance

Haunts me day and night.

I can almost

Feel your warmth.

My blue Rose,

You have yet, to bloom.

OH! I curse the fateful day,

The day, I laid my eyes on you!

Separated by time and space;

I dare not look at my brothers.

How much further

Must I go?

I reach out to you

And embrace nothing.

The vision of you

Will not fade.

My eyes lie blinded

To today.

Alas, I must swim ahead.

Race past this current,

At the ocean

I shall find you.

Tell me darling,

Will we meet again?
