There isA Poem by Lysrie MendezAbout my dear mommy.There’s an eloquent way An aura that a person of moral
gives off There’s a scabbing of layers That begins with a fall and ends
with a medicinal kiss There’s a non-hesitant release Whether it be of time or of dreams There’s a speeding ticket of
endurance Driven to the maximum, you keep a
smile There’s a vast universe devoured
by the color red and chocolate There’s a secured lock Not simply a trivial ten letter word And you threw away 3 different
keys There’s a body builder, a fighter
with an extreme sense of empathy You dodge, not punch There’s a flashing of pearls in a
moment of falling waters And goo There’s a shuffling of papers, of
taunting questions and endless investigation And it’s all for me There’s a raise of a fist in the
victory of another There’s a lack of plastic film sheet
on the box you came out of An authentic character But sometimes I forget about the
delicacy of a china doll Because sometimes reflections see
each other And we clash in the only way that
too similar of colors can But we’re too close on the
spectrum to ever be apart So today I will be your there is There is smile in a straight line
that is often misread There is a vast universe of red
and chocolates There is an open book of revealing
things That shouldn’t always be revealed But also there is a sugar coat But
a sweet one There is an extra pair of hands There’s an ear, wide and bare with
no mind only a conscience There’s a flash of mini pearls you
created yourself And one day I hope to be the authentic character Not necessarily to children but to everyone I meet Because so far you are the only
