Outside of the inside

So I told him,
I
Wear myself outside of the inside
Like a flag or banner
I wear who I am
Outside of the inside
I
Speak in parables
In stories and poems
And I wear myself
Outside of myself
Like a flag or banner
Like the majestic flag of Puerto Rico,
The one that was forbade to the Boricua people
When the United States came and took over
I wear myself proudly
Like an old Puerto Rican woman hails her flag
That is how I wear who I am
Outside of the inside, I
Wear who I am like a flag
Do not mince words and
Enjoy whiskey with my poems and
Cannabis with my paintings and
Wine goes very well with motherhood and University school work
I
Wear who I am
Outside of the inside
Like a flag or banner
In my articles of clothing you see the years of old punk rock shows and
Late nights and
Road trips and
The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan and
The Sex Pistols
The Toasters
The Specials
And the
Songs of Hector Lavoe, that sing sweet melodies to my soul, indeed
And I wear who I am
Outside of the inside
Like a flag or banner
What you see
Is what you get
I am
Boricua.

 

Just the three of us

posted by

New painting I’ve made:

 

It’s called, “We can make it if we try” and it’s an ode to the Otis Redding song, “Just the two of us”.

The three owls sit next to each other and love each other and know that they can make it.  Love always is the strongest force imaginable. Always. And that is what this painting reflects.

I know I haven’t posted a new journal page. Sorry about that. To be honest, Ive been busy studying for midterms . I just finished up my marketing midterm, so I am okay to post another video, I think.

Looking out for love

posted by

So I’ve  made a new painting. I call this one, “looking out for love”, and the title is inspired by the song by Fleetwood Mac.

 

 

 

This painting is sort of a journey. It tells the story of a person in love, who wants nothing more than for the feeling to be reciprocated.

To purchase this painting, please email me by using the Contact me tab in this website.
