Imagination
By Mateo Fontes
Found a moral compass in the blood orange sun
Blood thicker than the water I just drank
Family is who makes you feel at home
No matter the place
Only Love can conquer hate
When my nostrils flare like a match stick
I use the flame to light my way out the darkness
That made me blind to the crescent moon’s smirk at me
Feel free to branch out and become fruitful
Trying something new could at first seem unusual
Like eating exotic fruits in cool weather
Journaling your thoughts down
And singing out letters
It’s never too late to learn something new
Stay true to yourself and let your flower bloom
Birds with their feathers against the wind
Write a poem
And don’t be afraid of the fruit flies that come
To decompose your sweet words
Love
Say yes to new dreams, nodding yourself to sleep
Catching Z’s to seize the day when it comes
Itching for a dream that has to be worked from scratch
On the top, it is steep, time to jump
Kiss the ground bye, and remain down-to-earth
Using the imagination is fun
