Maybe
our life
is a hologram
a dreamed reality
that our self
periodically visits
from another
universe
living the opposite
of the choices
we’ve made.
Worth
You are
more than
a droplet
in the sea
of souls
Instead
A fingerprint
Etched in
cosmic gold dust
Fulfilling your destiny
Comfort zone
Walls built
from glass
of shattered
fragility
transfigured
to steel.
Comforting
yet
alienating.
Harmony
If
We
understood
our oneness
Peace
would
Reign.
Solace
Aim to be
pulled
like a magnet
into the
illuminating
unknown.
Poetry Book Review
Hello fellow bloggers,
I’d like to take a small departure from my regular poetry writing and review my friend Kevin Marquez’s book “Towards the Question Mark” available on Amazon.com
Towards the Question Mark provides a poetic insight as to what it is like growing up in New York City. The poetic narrator takes the reader on a journey through family strife, of loves born and lost. As a reader, you find yourself rooting this poetic narrator on. Kevin uses a variety of poetic forms to convey different aspects of a native New Yorker’s life.
There are some academics that question the legitimacy of Spanglish in literary works, Kevin’s use of Spanglish ,however, in selected poems represent the voice of this generation of Latino writers. I invite you all to join this writer’s journey. It provides a window to one man’s trial and tribulations with the Big Apple as the setting.
