~Storm Text~by Sarah Mahina Calvello

the sky is beautiful today

something is coming

cold and restless sky

rest up and keep warm

cuddle pillows and tea

the relaxing smoky hug lingers

it’s coming

dark and angry

the storm of change

the intensity of the moment

hot cocoa for you

cold cocoa forme

exhausted after a long day

danger is everywhere

even in the sky

but don't go chasing it

just follow the twists and turns

that winds down

to my heart

you won’t get lost

in my arms

because I’ll hold you close

~Birds~

~Birds 2~

~by Sarah Mahina Calvello~

everyday passes by

and you can barely see

huddled within yourself

layers upon feathery layer

a folded winter flower

thick and cold with wear

you’ve missed so many birds

bare and black

on whispers of gray branches

icey circles in the cold gray

you wait

almost not knowing

what for anymore

hold onto the good

and let go of the bad

like breathing

like something more

a liquid sigh trembles

in the drowsy shadows

~2 Dollar Coffee~

~by Sarah Mahina Calvello~

2 dollar coffee

alone with my dancing thoughts

brown leaves

under my feet

and hanging bells

of white flowers

stain the air

brown knobs of branches

undressing themselves

bark hanging in the wind and trembling

the branches curves around each other

a secret hug

in icey swirls

and cold twists

and curves

against the gray blue

another cup of coffee

is another smile

a hint of something better

that will play on your face

for awhile

another book

dark blue paper cup

like a abandoned bookmark

on the sidewalk

a place where you were

a reflection

of nothingness

that has so much value

shadows of blackbirds

arch in the distance

color the street with quiet dust

~Grandpa~

~Grandpa~ by Sarah Calvello you made it look so easy everyday was amazing and new like the orbs of fruit you placed in my hand curling my fingers around it the greatest and simplist gift you could have offered  me meant the most the air burnt and swirling           But you will rise like the Phoenix does           ya you can kiss my ashes           You will rise like the Phoenix does           Leaving dust behind you           So you can think of what you’ve done          Whatever you do do it well         do it well, no hiding         those were last words to me         It's like your checking that I'm abiding         Your last words ring true         But I don't know how you meant it         I don't know if you had faith in me         but from now on they're cemented in my memory         and I will go on my merry way         The sunrise always will rise in the morning        I can go on now        moving on without hesitation       arise you army just waiting there       arise without hesitation        remember my words well      remember what I teach you      my words will weigh heavy      I might be here today But I might be here tomorrow      you made it look so easy

~Untangled~

Untangled

jasmine bells

hanging

in the pale wind

green water shadows

hug the dusty road

winding along itself

it takes great courage to love a tainted world

you have more courage than I would ever would know

its the perfect who need love, not the imperfect

to look at a thing is quite different from seeing a thing

its the beauty laying inside like a unfurling flower

the expected petals of passion

to love oneself is the beginning of a great romance

I hate to see you go

but I love to watch you walk away

fly into the fire with me

we never learn to fly without crashing a few times

looking in your eyes

I’ll never forget

your sweet, laughing smile

delicate lily lines

lights the shadows

of her

together,

we will untangle

what’s tangled

~Stars in French, translated by Lennin Millan~

"Quand il a essayé de changement pour la première fois, dit-il rapidement venu, j'ai goûté les étoiles. Ouais, je pense sont va avoir besoin de plus de ce. Prochainement, nous avons mis en bouteille toutes les étoiles pour vous." ~ La faille dans Nos stars

thats la chose à propos de la douleur
il demande à se faire sentir
Je veux me sentir enfin
Actuellement
enfin ouvrir les yeux
voir la montée et de descente
de tous les jours

ainsi déguster les étoiles
avec moi
sentir la luminosité veloutée
miel épais
sur votre langue
fermez vos yeux
et essayez de ne pas se soucier
aussi longtemps que vous le pouvez

si vous voulez l'arc en ciel
vous avez à traiter avec la pluie
les bons et mauvais moments
le soleil étalé sur un trottoir
et une tasse de thé
est tout ce que je besoin de ce temps
les étoiles
sont notre laid et beau
souvenirs

~Ode to Kamalanie in French, translated by Lennin Millan~

Ode à Kamalanie ~ ~
Sarah Mahina Calvello

le ciel tremblait
quand tu as été pris
le vent hurlait
et tourbillon
chassant les feuilles

vouloir jouer
vouloir descendre les escaliers
opiniâtrement
nous voir
peu importe ce que nous avons dit

est que le temps
Kamalanie
Je veux que vous savez que votre sur mon esprit
Je t'aime tout le temps
Vous pouvez aboyer à moi
à tout moment

Je n'oublierai jamais
ses yeux d'ambre
votre souffle sur ma peau
peau café brûlé
enchevêtrés et blanc
avec des souvenirs

Non, je n'arrête pas de penser
J'entends ses pas légers sur les escaliers
clous de bois chatouillé
en ce que l'écho familier
cela ressemble à la maison

~Ode to Kamalanie in Spanish, translated by Lennin Millan~

~ Oda a Kamalanie ~

por Sarah Mahina Calvello

el cielo estaba temblando
cuando te llevaron
el viento estaba gritando
y remolino
persiguiendo las hojas

con ganas de jugar
querer ir por las escaleras
obstinadamente
a vernos
no importa lo que dijimos

era que el tiempo
Kamalanie
Quiero que sepas tu en mi mente
Te quiero todo el tiempo
puede ladrar a mí
en cualquier momento

Nunca olvidaré
sus ojos de color ámbar
su aliento en mi piel
piel café quemado
enredado y blanco
con recuerdos

No dejo de pensar
Oigo sus pasos suaves en las escaleras
las uñas cosquillas la madera
en ese eco familiarizado
eso suena como en casa
