I can feel the change within my soul.
A whole new life is what I hold.
Born so poor and raised abused.
I can not have that, I will not lose.
I have seen the good I have seen the light,
And for a better life I will fight the fight.
The road has been tough and so very long,
It has made me wise and extremely strong.
I am in that place, the best place of all,
I have climbed that mountain and I will not fall.
First Edition Translation of Teselas by Carmen Crespo X111 César Simón Poetry Prixe 2016 Translated from Spanish by Robin Ouzman Hislop and Amparo Arrospíde
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
Keep up the great work!Excellent uplifting poem!
