En el cansancio me encuentro. Cada transición acompañada de silencio. La carretera está abierta y es larga. Se que emprenderé camino, mirando el sol y las estrellas que van marcando la ruta. Este camino no es para los cobardes ni los que temen exponerse. Se trata de quitarse los zapatos, la camisa y todas lasContinue reading “Rompiendo Silencio [Breaking Silence]”

Reflections Before Bedtime #55
By: Gabriela Yareliz I don’t want to be the option you are afraid of– I want you to see my love and be sure. I’m standing here without my gown; I’m Cinderella after midnight. I hope you will realize I’m the one who danced with you all night. I hope you decide to find me.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #55”
Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. So far, it has been like a page ripped out of Dante’s “Inferno.” I am still waiting for the Divine Comedy element. Kidding. Here is some inspiration for those of you feeling just as dizzy about this week: “The heights by great men reached and kept wereContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #50
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, our thoughts get tangled like string, and the spool keeps running until it finds a wall that stops it. What if it finds a staircase that allows it to completely unravel? Sometimes, our hearts swell. And we aren’t sure if it got bruised or if it fell. Or perhaps, it simplyContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #50”
Happy Week: November 8, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week begins, again.The pharmacy looks like a Christmas wonderland. I was walking through Little Italy, and there are already ‘Merry Christmas’ light banners shimmering in the night above the streets. Still no sign of eggnog, anywhere. This is frustrating, but anyway… This weekend was a good weekend. I saw oldContinue reading “Happy Week: November 8, 2015”
Chasers of the Light
Poem from Chasers of the Light: poems from the typewriter series by Tyler Knott Gregson. I count the syllables of your laughter and wait for the line breaks of your long deep breaths. I may be a writer but you are a poem and you spill out like ink onto the paper of our days.Continue reading “Chasers of the Light”
You
By: Gabriela Yareliz You are a warm southern night, a barefoot stroll under strong magnolias. You are a strange rain that takes me by surprise. You are a soft palm branch rustle, coaxing me to unwind. You are a moon full of light; you reveal a path unknown and act as guide. You are aContinue reading “You”
Soul Structure
By: Gabriela Yareliz I live in a wilderness that is quietly loud. And while I may not rest here forever, I carry the wild to my every endeavor. It’s simplicity mixed with what is natural; mixed with extravagant colors and memorable fragrances. It’s peace, mixed with hope and belief. It’s miles and miles of freedomContinue reading “Soul Structure”
Let it Breathe
Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out in the vast field of light and let it breathe. Hafiz [Image from Tumblr]
How to Deal
By: Gabriela Yareliz I remember one particular afternoon, where I was sitting in my high school adviser’s office. My high school adviser was and is a friend; someone I would talk to about concerns and life in general– not just school stuff. I was sitting back in a chair chewing on a candy from his glass jar and complainingContinue reading “How to Deal”
