Broken Pieces

I wish I could gather all
your shards and splinters
your broken pieces blanketing all I see
like the white of snow covers the hills in winter
hidden behind your quiet whimpers
I see you unbreak and simper
so darling, for a happy you
I’d search and put all torn you
sad and blue
on a table top with a little glue
I know I would take all my love
with my hands in gloves
and caress every part like fine art
tenderly with patience
give your little pieces lots of kisses
and a hug that squishes with my loving wishes
finally, I’d color you with smooches
put you back together
unbroken and better
my beautiful epiphany
glass and wood
like a fine tiffany
I immigrated to the states from Mexico at age 12 and I quickly fell in love with poetry after my grandfather read some of his poems to me. However, at 18, I had a young family and that left very little time for this endevour as I started working to support us. I returned to adult school to finish my diploma. At that time I developed a severe depression that I still struggle with to this day, but I found it to be a great source of inspiration as well. Today I live in Los Angeles and I'm divorced. I have two children I see whenever possible and two adult kids. Both my Grandfather and his brother are award winning poets and journalists, with one, (Bartolome Delgado DeLeon) having a street, library and a prestigious national poet award in his honor.
Most of my pieces come from personal experience and true to me. Sometimes my material is raw, other times murdeous, and yet other times romantic, but always me, 100% authentic guaranteed.
