Sunrise and the echo of the canary warns me of danger.
Childhood dreams flirting with death.
Longing for the release of the darkness
By the rays and warmth of the sun.
Drive out
Wean me down from the shadows' concoctions
Rehab
Re-re-rehab-it
Sensuality in the horizon edging from the lines ofthe earth
Coming into fruition
The ignition is turned to the on position
Fighting to break the chains
Void
Blood trickles from my mouth and my tongue slowly licks
Metal
Chains dangling from my wrists
Opened by my spirit
Rays of the sun shine on me
I am free.

About Me
- R. Ortiz
- New York, NY
- I am a dreamer. I dream of possibilities and wonders. I dream of goals at my fingertips. I dream of a world where I can buy a can of Bustelo coffee at every store in Manhattan below 96th Street. I dream of a better world. I don't claim to be something I'm not. I am true to myself. I am just trying to figure out this life and I want others to share. I am a poet. I express my life through words and spill my heart onto empty pages. I use words as my refuge and hope that others feel me. I continue to dream. It is the fact that I dream that I know I exist.
