Greatest Foe

by Teresita Blanco

Night Cannot forgive

The sins of yesterday,

One cannot live

No more ,this way. 

Such pain and sorrow

Cannot be stripped,

Your heart lies

In justice’s grip!

The Pain of Yesterday

Cannot be forgotten today,

Your cold eyes hides the pain

Of that ill fated day.

I cannot heal your gloom.

You are now doomed,

You are your greatest foe. 

This City is a Prison 

by Teresita Blanco

Tomorrow we rise

Again to drink

The pavements’ dust.

Our lungs,

They are tar.

Each breath

Is hard,

To take in.

My soul lies in chains!

These golden links

Have turned to iron.

This burning prison

Burns bring crimson.

My dead desires

Have now risen!

To call me “liar”.

Behind this mask

Lies my twisted face,

The one I left corrupted.

I now lie prostrated,

Struggling for one last breath.

This city is a horror to me,

My soul flinches

Beneath its whip!

My morals lie discarded,

My honor forgotten!!

This city is a Prison!!

This Heart Was Born Old

by Teresita Blanco

This heart has never

Known true sorrow,

Never once.

Some call me cold,

But I am old.

My soul has withered.

My heart is bitter.

This heart has known

Since the first day

That “all” was won,

By others sweat,

By others neck.

This heart has never

Known true horror,

It was born cold,

It was born old.

Always living, forever dying. 

Insomnia 

by Teresita Blanco

I am so tired

And the bed

Looks so inviting.

Sleepless nights have changed me.

My legs cannot hold me.

My eyes close over me.

My eyes grow tired

And the bed

Looks so inviting.

This insomnia consumes me, devours me.

Faceless shadows

Waltz before me,

They sing, they purr

A soft calling.

This curse hold me, unforgiving.

My limbs grow numb,

And the bed looks so inviting.

My heart beats slow,

And the Bed looks so inviting.

This sleep, this curse…

And the bed looks so inviting.
