The Romo’s–a longtime Palm Valley family–have been busy. Christina has been writing poems and song lyrics. We have two to share with you here. Daniel is an intern writing sports articles for the LA Peach Basket. His first article came out last month. We have it linked below.

A connection?

By Christina Romo

Tell me you can’t live without me.
Whisper everything you’re dying to say.
Your words, how they flow, so gently;
I get lost in your eyes by a gaze.
Kiss me, I want to feel your lips.
Hold me, just like this.
Our hands intertwined, you feel like you’re mine
It’s just in my eyes.
The light is on you tonight,
Moonlight, the shadow just covering one eye.
Your smile is so bright, brighter than the moonlight.
The light shines in my eyes and it’s as if I’m feeling it inside.
Do you realize?
It’s just in my eyes.
The room is silent. The only noise is our breathe.
Your head is on my chest, your mind is at rest.
Lying down, I watch you forget.
A clear head with a clear heart, and you chose me.
Maybe it is just in my eyes,
or maybe you might just feel the same thing.

Mind Clutter

By Christina Romo

Wonderful differences
Silence in distractions
One sigh you know what I’m asking.
Life gives us fortunes,
most that come true.
Fortunes of what we should be, what’s to come, and what to do.
You were a fortune that came into my point of view.
I held onto it to see what it could turn to.
I always knew it was you.
An observed perception
no one knows what lies in between
all that’s there is lies and assumptions of what it could be.
Silence falls before us, it’s only you and me.
Heavy breathing, slow dancing, lost in the heavy color of your eyes.
Blank stares, a thousand thoughts rushing
All wanting to speak up at once
too many rushed, nothing said.

This from Ms. Romo in the Business Office: “I think I told most of you about Daniel’s internship writing a sports article for LA Peach Basket. Well, here is his first one and he would love for you to see it!
Proud mom”
