In sun-kissed hues, a radiant sight, Tan skin gleams with golden light. Warmth infused in every cell, A symphony of shades that compel. While pale is praised for its ethereal gleam, Tan skin, too, holds a radiant esteem. Its golden hues, a testament to light, A tapestry that dances in daylight. Bronzed canvas, a masterpiece rare, A testament to sun's affair. Like amber kissed by nature's fire, A palette of warmth, a sunlit desire. Where moonlight bathes in silver's pure embrace, The sun's warm touch adorns tan skin's embrace. No less enchanting, with a golden sheen, It paints a portrait, vibrant and serene. In the morning's first light, as dawn's fingers gently trace, Across the horizon, the sun reveals its grace. And so, too, does tan skin, bathed in golden hue, A masterpiece painted in shades of amber and true. Like honeyed caramel, smooth and sweet to taste, Tan skin exudes a richness, a flavor interlaced. A blend of earth and sunshine, a fusion of delight, A testament to the
Though the past years have gone by so fast... I always knew it was too good to last... Our lives will change... As old friends move out of range... We all waited for this day... When we can all go our own way... Friends will leave and part... Knowing we'll always be in each other's hearts... I wish we could all just stay together... Teachers and classmates, together forever... Then we'll never have to say our goodbyes... Or leave with tears in our eyes... We've all come a long way... Praying for the day... When we finally realize... This is our last chance to say "Thank you" and "Goodbye"... This Poem was written by me in 8th Grade (2009/2010) before going into High School. My English Teacher submitted a few Poems per student who gave permission. It was Published by the Publisher to a Poetry Book later that Year. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy to my knowledge, and I do not have any information about the book.
Out of all the different Holiday desserts Nothing lifts the spirit More than gingerbread houses They are beautiful And look good enough to eat But making them Is no easy task Taking a trip To the local Candy section Of the grocery store Red hots, Small gumdrops, Candy canes All practical for decorating Chocolate truffles For a stone wall Royal icing Used as the glue To hold all the candy together Assembling the pieces, With careful hands, Creating a sugary masterpiece A symbol of festive flair The aroma of spices Fills the air A symphony of flavors Awakening our appetite Frosting dripping like fresh snow Down the rooftops edge While the sugar glass windows Reveals a miniature world of dreams Upon this finished creation, Children gather 'round Gazing in amazement At this sugary marvel And we all admire The beauty we built A delectable treat Beyond compare And a shared moment of joy In gingerbread houses, We find a sweet taste Of holiday magic A tasty, delightful creation And

How to Save A Life (Poem)
How to Save A Life By J.C. Solis The sorrow inside that mounts to great lengths That swallows up what remains of our strengths This feeling that agonizes our cores For then we wish to not live anymore The abyss looks back and is calling our souls For it understands how much We took toll For this is a feeling that stays inside And some, this Death Call, they sadly abide What can one do when someone loses hope? How can you help them to manage and cope? What do they feel deep inside their hurt hearts? Why is it that they are coming apart? Why must this feeling be truly so cruel? Why must, over so many lives, it rules? What can be done to save our dear good friends? How can we tell them it’s not yet the end… Be kind and be brave, for the heart wants love Be the angel sent from heaven above Be the support that this lost soul now needs Patch up their wounds so they no longer bleed Ask them if there is something you can do Ask them if their tales of woe are all true And

Little Life Left (Sonnet)
Little Life Left By J.C. Solis I do not have now much longer to live I’ve already given what I could give I do not know what awaits for me now As the curtains close and I take a bow What I did in life had no consequence The good I’d do with no second thought hence I want to know whether I will mourned Whether in good grace or filled with great scorn Just know that I die accepting Death’s call Because, in the end, the Grim comes for all Just know I was happy with what I had Filled with emotions, from Sad, Mad, and Glad As I take this bow and descend to the grave Just know that I join Death with a heart brave…
Somewhere I would least expect, And although at first I balked, For fear that you would deflect, To your side I swiftly flocked. You stood alone there crying, Old hopes clenched within your grip; You told me you were trying, Despite your trembling lip. But I took you in my arms, And together we were gone, Safe away from life’s alarms, Somewhere it is always dawn. As we stood in that new light, Pressed into each other’s crests, I found myself in your sight, And wept against your cradled chest.

The Hope that Fails (Poem)
The Hope that Fails By J.C. Solis What I see now before my eyes The facts that I just can’t deny The loss of life and love and hope A loss that those, like I, can’t cope The Hope we clung onto for long The one we hoped would right our wrongs This Hope that we wanted for real Now gives way as our fate is sealed What I see now within this pain This agony that just won’t wain The Hope that Failed to save us all Our sins, to clean, a task too tall May we find peace before our doom As our sad fate now starts to loom…

Alone - A Second Verse (Poem)
Alone A Second Verse By J.C. Solis In the sea of millions And yet still a lonesome life The agony of bearing Being one among so many But though the sun shines Among those who seek company I am still living life With a lonesome heart and soul What is this world? Where so many people dwell And yet I still can’t find The courage to now rise The second death of life To one day be forgotten The many who are lost The few who have been found In this world full of plenty Of food, life, and death And yet the starving clamor And so do too the ignorant For the world is an oxymoron Our beautifully ruined home Our tomb and our own coffin Our cradle and our womb I don’t know if I should come Out of hiding and go mingle The narcissistic empaths The villainous saintly masses For I am still afraid And I am still in limbo For I chose to live this life I chose to live Alone But maybe one day soon I shall crawl from out my shell To go out in the morning And come back in the

At a Pub from Better Days (Poem)
At a Pub from Better Days By J.C. Solis From old times with friends with nothing but cheer With drinks flowing rich from mugs full of beer From old times of yore to those of this week The merriment we searched and friends we’d seek All of it is gone, now a distant time past And so are the moments we thought would last This is the present day we must now bear This grim reality with dread in the air But so long the pub stands, there’s still the chance For more friends to come through to drink and dance The pub welcomes all to make joy with hope That with friends and drink, the present we can cope For now’s the time we make new memories While we are still young and drunken and free
Judgement By J.C. Solis What have I done? And here I am now To face my punishment And to atone somehow What have I done? For I start to see That my sinful heart Was never truly free For this is my fate What I chose long ago As I am now judged And blamed as so For the things now said About me in the past Now mar my legacy These stains that will last And I don’t reject As I nod down in shame I am the villain I am to blame What have I done? These things over days As I erred and sinned In so many ways So judge me right now And nail me to the cross For this is my Judgement The honor that I’ve lost So judge me right now This is my shame Remember my deeds Remember my name…
