My favorite time of the year has always been the holiday season. I remember the time I spent as a child helping my grandmother make tamales and ponche, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my cousins to play and overall seeing my entire family spend the holidays together.

Age led me to believe
That young love is bittersweet.
From the first hug to the first kiss,
Moments too sweet to miss.
Awkward glances across the room,
Hoping they will notice you.
The romantic’s sweet yet subtle ruse
To capture the attention of their muse.
May innocence guide these lovers through
The path filled with inevitable feuds.
Their innocence will go astray.
They will break up and soon part...

She marches on without her spirit’s guide
In a world divided by people’s pride.
We fight for a cause that is hard to attain,
That will only result in others pain.
Try to follow their positions blindly,
See if that will make them treat you kindly.
Their divisions are strong, all seems hopeless.
Her spirit muted, words remained voiceless.

We did everything together, and our families were super close. But day after day, our friendship began to get more and more toxic. She...

Piles of mush, once icy white
Now discolored and soft
Resting on the field.
Where is the cold fortress?
Dreadful moments in the snow,
Numb fingers and a red face.
I was longing for warmth.
That was when the sun came.
Looking at the mush I wonder
Why was it hard to say goodbye?
The snow strengthen me
Taught me how to survive.
The meadows are green,
Music of birds filling the...
