Poetry: Work

by Ramon Ivan Rivera-Lopez

Future and past:

And as I walk on fire my garden could be blown...away

This is the time , time for me to make you fall

Cascades of iron to make my world be fortify

Fall on you befofe the buildings are born

And I go step by step for the winds of faith in me to find

The heat of many hearts that live to see the sight

Where the falling hopes of many hearts are waiting

To see the ways in the past they should have seen

I'm walking out of my forehead

I'm looking back in my mind

I won't stand another jail

To hide , to hide ,to hide ...

Remember the world before night time was afraid

I see some heat before the dieing winter falls

The ice keeps on melting here, it's no parade

For the few of the mountaineers raid

Blinking eyes in the back of my mind

I turn my head to see

The past is now repeating

But now I'm on high seas

I woke up in the shadows

Followed by light

Bringing some attention to the stand

Where my life once was bright

Memories have brought me sands to the present

Yet these sands are no longer in my eyes

But the desert where they once used to stand

Is the place where the blood of the present pass me by.
