Poetry: Walk Forth, Shortie, Current Tides, and Fruit of Life by Teresita Blanco

Walk Forth, Shortie
by Teresita Blanco

For how long did I wait for you?

Minutes turned to hours,

And hours into eternities.

Once again, I am forced to walk ahead.

I must have faith

That one day

You’ll catch up

With my steps…

Current Tides 
By Teresita Blanco

The current cannot be stopped.

The damps are broken;

The flood swallows us whole!

Will I ever be rid of these chains?

This milestone will not let me go!

Look out, here comes the flood!

My one true band,

Precipitated toward the ocean.

Ah! Deeper down I go!

 

Fruit of Life
by Teresita Blanco

Rise and fall,

Ebb and flow.

Day now glows.

Spring turns to Fall.

From Elias to Eliseo!

One left to Mars,

The other became worm food.

Ashes to ashes,

In death he gave you life

And for what?

You became

Society’s puppet

And God’s Marionette.

Break these binds!

Steal the fruit of life!
