Poems by Aangel Gonzalez

My Voice

Long ago
I had no voice
I could talk about 
nothing 
for hours

a brilliant thought
came to me 
it wouldn't escape 
from my lips
but 
get caught 
in my throat
where they would die

To those around
I was dumb
having never uttered an
intelligent word
they remained locked
in the corners of my mind

Out of the blue
My voice was reborn
relentlessly, incessantly
reincarnating itself

My voice 
was liberated
No longer would
words 
lock themselves 
behind the doors 
of my throat 

They were ready to  
fly free 
and go out
and embrace the world

I am like the wind 
changing constantly 
whether it's a quiet whisper 
or a raging tornado 
where ever I am 
I am always there  

There’s something about you 
Can’t put my finger on it 
It touches me so deeply 
Melts me to the core of my being

Makes me cry in passion 
Swoon with lust 
The euphoria of finding ones first love
Serenity in the eternal bond of trust 

You

The tears in my eyes were 
brushed away with your delicate touch
Your tender kiss melted my parched lips and 
redesigned them into unforeseeable smile 
a sculptor with raw clay reshaped the 
length of my body.
