marietta cantos Poems

wandering
in the labyrinth
of my mind
sensing...
...

this is a blue world
and i'm a blue person
the ravishing maroons
and flimsy aquamarines
...

If she is just a name
to you.

then
...

tonight
i count the stars
pebbled in the sky
and remember that once
...

the needle
found the flesh
and pricked
to poison
...

the room is filled with
stale scents of roses
since you went away.

my heart learns
...

moments in baby pink
dancing molecules in my brain
was it only yesterday when
i saw you smile?
...

chased by the southern wind
the leaf continues to float
gliding, drifting
in the direction of nowhere.
...

an affirmation that there is
life...
an affirmation that there is
love in life...
...

words scribbled down
letter-mix
scrambled word
to form this
...
