Rosalinda Flores Martinez Poems

My heart is not my heart anymore
I left it in the pulpit, wiggling red like jelly.

In a pilgrim's silence, the walls of
...

Sometimes there are just things you don't understand

and just can't explain how things happen
...

You can't just forget those who have gone.

You miss them all and think about those times touching hands -
...

(for vocations)


Tender breath,
...

Somewhere, I make promises
No bravoes, no bells, beyond
Dreams.Into the deep.
...

The hole is filled with

Many stars heaped from above
...

In crescendo, you on the pulpit -

It was in a house which I then quite venerated. It was a dance in the corners and after a while found the best place to stay was in front where you preached the good news.

I want to seize this time gathering my thoughts
...

To only one - Eternal God
Be Holy Trinity adored
Finite batteries of our lives
be charged
...

I can't solve the tangent of circles in heartbeats -
the pink fog of dusk and circles in bloodstone
lines perpendicular in the same core
our breaths in matrix of age, naked for rain.
...

MY LORD

When evening comes, I drowse in fear, my Lord
From flicked memories drifting in sorrow.
...

I can still smell your presence next to me.
How can I explain the look in your eyes?
How can I explain the hand movements,
The hush of breath in that midnight?
...

The smell of forgiveness is reeking
How could I through the mystery
of suffering
give you enough?
...

The glitter of a perfect day intoxicates
It makes me remember the past
and all the places dearest
the smell of secrets
...

The past, my own anguish
like tequila,
him in my throat
...

Slime and grease all over the
board you built near the bright
pink flower of noon
...

The angels and Saints watch over

And I,
...

There should be something on this paper
Like the lipstick on your neck when I bite you
After the corn pellets have dropped into my breasts
I remember I have to write before the brain cells wane
...

Solemn Tochigi blocks in a merry go round of maps, promised a harvest of oranges and pears in the fog-breath of morning.

Parks and libraries, amiable to a snow queen, bared the meditation of its hills and forests; a history in stone of Japanese martyrs and saints.
...

I don't believe in intimacy, anymore,
but there you are.
Once in a ritual we became too close
Breath was the only wall that separated faces.

The Best Poem Of Rosalinda Flores Martinez

My Heart Is Not My Heart Anymore

My heart is not my heart anymore
I left it in the pulpit, wiggling red like jelly.

In a pilgrim's silence, the walls of
the sky tore and clouds restrained
Rain was supposed to be vicious,
but rainbows came.Earth was supposed
to curse, yet mercy reigned.

I died for sometime in the nightmares
that haunted me.I was raging with the
moon in every fortnight.What taste
does she offer? Beneath dignity her
coarse tongue roused trouble in my home.

Foolish fire! My youth was stripped, my heart,
an oblation, my lips sullen and unkissed!
To unending highways, grief toppled me down
To drumbeats of rock stars, to a deafening roar
I sieved layers of smoke.


Michael Furey from the gasworks sustained
my innocence. Books dozed off my nights
My bed groaned
Until You, brushed my shame -
"summum bonum. "

My heart is not my heart anymore;
stretched tight to the sky,
I cry to the dead -
and like a child,
I blubber "Lord! " -for hope.

Rosalinda Flores Martinez Quotes

Life is a matter of choice. But as long as you live life with love - nothing will go wrong; not in contest of any law, but only living in faith. God is always near.

Dare me to love you. Seize me not to think, but only love you.

The creative writer feels it, but the muse will not speak it, it will write.

How to write creative literature is not taught. It is practiced. It is bleeding your brains and cutting your heart out. It is a way how a writer lives and struggles to find an answer of a quest she ought to share with the world. It is finding zeal in God's big and small creation. It is Ecclesiastes delight in time for everything, David's prose and prayers in the Psalms, and Desiderata.

Creative literature is feeling as though lightning had struck and toads would turn into diamonds.
