Cellar Door: Can’t Help That

Can’t Help That

Sweet sympathy
Can’t help that if
You aren’t there again
If your words can’t cure
If our needs don’t meet

Sweet comfort
“A true relief” it’s known
Millions of spots can be seen
Feel the touch of a dry skin
Stare at the eyes of sad children
Cool steel could poke them indeed

Broken bones and deadly actions
Can’t help that if
You don’t put up with my manners
If you can’t find my deep reasons…
…if Saturdays are never long enough?

Sweet sound
Stomachaches are empty
Bladders are full
And the breeze isn’t refreshing
Cut down on puritany
Broaden your morality
And get rid of your poor judgments

Someday a day will rise
In a perfect fall season,
Butterflies will land on colored flowers
Shinny dew accumulated on green leaves
Face washed and mint breath
This day will come about
Along with it
Some news:
Sad children no longer exist
Can’t help that…

Sup? I'm Laila Chris Burden. Welcome to Cellar Door. English isn't my mother tongue, but that's the language in which I best communicate. Besides a blogger, I am a teacher, a poet, a stationery junkie, a married woman, and have two cats. I teach languages, do pilates and therapy, and major in psychology. I speak Portuguese on the daily basis. Brazil is the country where I live and in here people speak this awesome latin language. I also speak German, Spanish, some French, Mandarin, and Japanese. I am a visual arts freak, although I'm very fond of music. I lived in Florida for a while though my trip was part of an exchange student program. I went to the US to achieve another college degree. I studied Liberal Arts in Saint Petersburg, Pinellas County (Tampa Bay area), USA. I had also taken another college degree course in Brazil before moving to Uncle Sam's land. I hold a bachelor's degree in Journalism. Another interesting fact of my life is that my present occupation is not actually based on writing or arts per se. I teach ESL- English as a Second Language. Never would I imagine becoming a teacher in this life. Well, maybe I should have since my both parents are ESL teachers. My husband manages our ESL school, PBF, and teaches English as well. We live along with a Siamese cat called Tibby and a black short-hair one called Pancho Villa. I am terrible driver but a wonderful chef. Hubby's name is Roberto and we are both from Sao Paulo. We have been non officially married for 14 years and we have been officially dating since September 1991. Btw, I'm in my mid thirties. Hubby and I have been going through gizillions of ups and downs in this life and yet we keep on moving. We work hard to pay utilities including the broad band Internet wireless connection which allows me blog on. We do struggle. We do love what we do. I love my writings, my husband, my kitties, my occupation, my blogs. I love being the kind of monkey I turned out being.
