Orlando De Los Santos

Arab girl
With dark hair like a warriors soul
Solid and silky like threads made of the night
And skin a beautiful tan like a high priced
...

I believe I was born in the wrong century
Cause I want to woo you with
Poems, flowers, chocolates and treats, none tainted
Like a lake with mercury
...

I want to take my take
because I don't know how many other guys
want to be your valentine
...

It has been a month and some change,
Since we talked of you and I,
Now, I see your with him,
A different him and,
...

Please let the wind blow,
Let the birds sing,
And let the sun shine,
Or do I have to pay a hidden fee?
...

Persecute me like the Jews
Use small box on me like an Indian
And point a gun at me and make me walk the trail of tears
Behead me and my male comrades like
...

What happened to me and you?
I lost what I fought for
Like the Spanish Civil War
I go into exile
...

The breeze
Can you feel the breeze?
Hear its whispers that deal
With something surreal
...

I cannot stress my words enough
I cannot force them out
To make a sound
Their muffled like lightning on the ground
...

You look fearless
Courage that is realistic
And eyes that are majestic
...

For Harriet Beecher Stowe
Her words changed the world
A world I will die for
To reveal secrecy
...

As I watch the snow fall on the streets
The white fluff covering every inch of turf
Like frosting on a cake
I listen to hear your voice
...

As I sit here
I think of you
Your smile and the way it curves
The way your voice sounds
...

I’ve always wondered
What it would feel like
To be with a woman like you
