Deep down with our emotions.

Coached by renowned poets, Yasmin and Crash write and perform original poems at a poetry slam at the world famous Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe.

"Isn't It Funny?" by Crash

it could be so obvious when you look at her
that reggaetón sway and her hip hop ways
that her block was heavily cemented in her veins
a block that was unusual to me
foreign grounds and harsh, heavy sounds
those are the elements that affected
her reggaetón sway and her hip hop ways
unknown to me that people haven't the slightest idea what an enchilada was
as I wonder what the f**k an arepa was
and to tell you the truth
I never yearned to learn who this chica was
the one with her reggaetón sway and her hip hop ways?
until i was forced onto a project
to reflect to the kids
that there could be a reality show
without all that crazy unnecessary drama
two girls from different worlds
could find a common ground
a friendship was born in front of a nation
that was realer than any chicas project airing right now
that chica with her reggaetón ways and her hip hop sway
on the real is my homegirl
without a mothaf***kin doubt

"For New York" by Yasmin

I just want you to know, I love you.
I'm sorry I left at such an early age
but I'm still from you
I'm still your child - I have your smile
your ghetto fabulous style
I even talk with that unique, sometimes funny sound
I'm still that chick from around the way
that always, always, always
has something smart to say
and even though I'm in the west now
with all the fake titties and all the fake crowds
your realness never lets that faze me
matter of fact, that's what saved me
and i just want you to know
that i still love you

Airs next:

THU 12:30 AMFRI 4:30 PM
SAT 4:30 PMSUN 9:30 AM

"Waiting" by Silvia...lol..I hope that you like it.. : )..and I love your show by the way.
*******************************************************
A girl sits outside on a cool windy day and hears a whisper in the wind telling her " Just wait."
The girl asks the voice " how much longer?"
Then the voice in the wind tells her "Just a few years longer."

One year passes the girl still waits because she knows there is something special about the voice she heard that day.

More years pass and her feelings get stronger but she knows that she must wait just a little bit longer.

Another year goes by she is taking a walk then she stop at the words that make her heart stop. "I love you" are the words that she heard him say and she wondered if today was the day.

She turns around and there he is the she runs into his arms and gives him a kiss.
She holds him and he holds her and he tells her that he wants her to be his forever.

She gets tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. She kisses him and tells him, " It was worth the wait."

La Ilusion y La Realidad

en la vida, hay una linea muy fina
la cual divide la realidad y la ilusion.
la mayoria del tiempo podemos
distinguir esta linea, pero hay
ocasiones en las cuales esta linea
se hace invicible y nuestro conocimiento
de la ilusion y la realidad desaparece.
un buen ejemplo se ha de encontrar
en el amor y la amistad.
en un punto de nuestras vidas,
llegamos a conocer a una angelita o angelito
que nos da una amistad tan bonita y tan pura.
con una amistad asi, es muy facil
perdernos en la ilusion de un amor ...
que usualmente y desafortunadamente
deshace la realidad de que son solo amigos
causando la perdida de esta gran amistad..
pero hay uno que por mas
q la ilusion hace para envolverlo,
mantiene este conocimiento, el lastimado...
cuando uno es lastimado por primera vez
por causa de hacerse ilusion de amor
por otra persona en la cual existe una gran amistad...
una herida muy pesada nace en uno...
pasa el tiempo y una angelita
le crusa el camino ofreciendole una amistad tan bonita...
y por la falta de un amor, combinado con
el cariño y amistad q este angelita o angelito le da...
en el, algo empieza a crecer...
un sentimiento de amor, una ilusion de amor...
pero la herida lo regresa a la realidad
porque por lo mas q el quiera hacer algo..
la herida le causa tener miedo...
un miedo a no volver a perder una amistad,
especialmente a esta amistad...
un miedo que lo hace llorar por dentro...
el solo quiere ser querido y amado,
darle todo su amor y cariño a esa angelita,
sin perder la realidad de una amistad tan grande.....

A night that expresses my true feelings
I stand by your picture remembering you
Your smile is like the sunshine that is far from my reach

I will for ever miss you
The raindrops falling become one with my teardrops
The thunder is so sudden like the news I heard not so long ago

Its depressing to think that I will never hug you again
People say that its going to be ok
But they don’t deal with the dirty laundry that you left behind

I am here wishing that I could turn back time to change your destiny
To have another chance to tell you and show you that I love you

This night expresses my true feelings
The raindrops become one with my teardrops
Dark lonely night that not even the moonlight is visible

Only the dark shadow of my loneliness is with me
They say its not healthy, but I don’t know how to move on without
My dear sweet heart I wish that god had left you more time with me
This night express my true feelings
The raindrops become one with my teardrops
The thunder is reaping quickly, like my mind repeats the moment I saw you laying there with no heart beat

You have been part of all my happy memories and now you are of the most painful and depressing memory of my life.

This night express my true feelings
