The Unforgiving Heart


She sat on the kitchen floor of her Down Town apartment as she wept. Holding a bottle of liquor with her right hand and a glass on the other. She viciously poured glass after glass of the relentless burning water as she said:
Oohhhh Unforgiving heart! You've let me down.
I am ready to trust. I am ready to love.

I'm sorry I've let you down,
it's the only way I have learned to cope.
You see, I trusted a man once and he stepped on me like you step on dried fallen leaves in late autumn.
He said I was all he ever wanted and admired,
but when autumn ended,
he vanished with the wind.

Oh you, Unforgiving heart!
you've disappointed me again,
I can't let love go and you're standing there firm like a rock.

You wouldn't know what pain is if I tried to explain a million times.
I don't mean to disrespect you,
I don't mean to make you cry,
I'm not rock-hard by choice,
I'm rock-hard by how I've been sealed over and over.
The core that surrounds me is so thick that I haven't seen the light for years.

Ohh you damn unforgiving heart!
Can't you see from a broken heart, I’m dying?

I can't see your pain; but I feel it.
The one who can't see is you,
if you are dying; I'm dying with you!

Oh My Garlic! I can't remember at what point I started loving garlic. All I know is that I'm glad I did. Not only is this vegetable (plant) a flavorful nice addition to our dinner, but it's so much more than that. Garlic has so many health benefits. I honestly think garlic can be the answer to many of our health problems. I came down with a nasty cold a few months back, and since I have an infant, --well she is a toddler now, but at that point was still considered an infant, and I breastfeed, so I wanted to make sure that whatever I took for the cold and fever was as natural as possible; I got in the computer and researched natural-home remedies for a cold. To my surprise, although there are many things out there, I came across garlic remedies. So, I decided to research a little deeper and my findings left me in awe. Based on what I read, it is said that garlic belongs to the onion, leeks and shallot family - Allium. Its health benefits come from its sulfur compounds...

My Dear Daughter

Dear Baby, not so baby anymore. You’re gonna go through life; a path that will be rocky at some points. There will be curves, hills, and other obstacles along the way. You will look around you and you will realize that your life is a lot different than most of your friends. You will probably start to wonder why. Why things happened this way and not any other way. Perhaps, you will love it, perhaps you wont. Life isn’t always perfect. We as daughters or sons, want to have a life where all of our needs are met. We want our caretakers to give us everything we ask for. We don’t want homework. We don’t want a difficult teacher. We want our caretakers to say yes to everything we want. We want life to be easy, because easy doesn’t require much effort. Easy is EASY. But you see, if easy were that easy, then there would be no fun. There would be no enjoyment on daily activities, there would be no skilled people, in a sense: Easy would be boring! You are now at a stage in your life where...

Through My Eyes

(this page is work in progress...) I was born and raised in Mexico, in a small town in the outskirts of Guadalajara, Colonia Jalisco, it’s called. I currently reside in the States. I travel often. I have been to just about every country and some less popular cities but nevertheless amazing and thirsty to be discovered. I can’t tell you which place I liked most. I feel bad to say that I can’t recall all the places I have visited. I will have to look into my history and hope it’s still there. From all the cities that I have visited; I have not met one single person. I see them all around, but never their face. I can’r talk to them, even if I’d like to. However, I don’t believe in creating new friendships because friendships just as any relationship must be nourished and well --I don’t have time for that. I still have many places to visit. I don’t have time to engage in any conversations since I will have to leave again and travel to a new place: a new adventure. I noticed how people...
