Three Poems by Stella Theresa Luna

Love System

I call out your name 
From the deepest rib of my chest
From the innermost lining of my gut 
From the minutest vein of my brain 
From the longest network of arteries 
Circulating in endless motion 
Never stopping to seek rest
Like my love for you 
Which restlessly lies 
In the complicated systems 
Of my body 
Infused with an ending supply 
of hope and faith 
To the last beat of my heart. 
□

Blind Love 

Through your words that pierced 
The hearts you left behind 
You have refreshed my memory
Snippets of our romance
Have now come alive
Igniting the embers or a fading 
past emotion
My One True love
You recreated that scene in mu mind
And once again  
I as blind.  
□

Grass

Grass the wind blows upon it
Over and over
But it leans aside
Your love keeps its hard stance
Unmindful of me
And never bends
It is arrogant 
The wind hammers it
Messing with our lives 
Turning it into pieces 
Until its gone.
