I want to run away -
Down to the lake,
And by the rocks -
Lie against the pier,
And watch the water -
Pretend I'm home,
By the old river where
I spent more time
Than in that house,
Home where once
I had wished that
My ashes would be
When I ended my life,
Because heaven was less
Of an image of home
Compared to the river
Where I spent my time
The river where I used
To run away to,
Rather than going back
To the house
Where I could do nothing
But wish
That it would all just end
Down to the lake,
And by the rocks -
Lie against the pier,
And watch the water -
Pretend I'm home,
By the old river where
I spent more time
Than in that house,
Home where once
I had wished that
My ashes would be
When I ended my life,
Because heaven was less
Of an image of home
Compared to the river
Where I spent my time
The river where I used
To run away to,
Rather than going back
To the house
Where I could do nothing
But wish
That it would all just end

Real Estate
The cost of intellectual property has gone up.
I can already feel the ideas curdling like milk,
Strings of silver silk lining
Tangling it up so neatly--
A package for the loan-shark in my bed in the morning.
A message to my lover, to whom I owe such a debt:
All you ever do anymore is take.
My poems crumble at the touch,
Fading into the clusters of Sunday brunch and Family Guy reruns.
What's the price of the two seconds of quiet
Without a pile of unfilled lines awaiting my autograph
Ruffling through the papers you'll have me sign-
What wouldn't I give to sign with the devil, over you...
Teetering on the corner of thought,
My pen limp and b

La caja (algun dia)
Tirada en el patio esta la caja, sin etiquetas ni marcas, una simple caja. Todos pasan, pero nadie mueve a la caja, estática e inerte percibe los pasos, esos pequeños murmullos que la hacen recordar que no está sola y aun así el abismo continua.
En todos sus años de caja esta ha estado cerrada, pues ningún hombre ha decidido hacerse cargo de la solitaria caja, la cual carga con su contenido en el exterior; una caja inversa quizás será.
No tendremos remedio que contar que esa caja olvidada por todos más presente no podría estar, es el ombligo del mundo. Tras de ella se esconde la línea qu

The Journey
Beneath my skin, my veins pulse with desire
To know why I am here.
As I journey to find the answers to life,
I sail through the monotonous seas
That stretch forever beyond the horizon.
As my ship sails towards the dry land,
Mountains tower before me,
Filling me with both awe and intimidation.
But the mountains are eroding as time passes by,
Into merely fragments of what they once were.
I move my eyes and watch the glaciers
Melt slowly into rivers.
But even though they disappear,
They melt to provide water for all life on this planet.
You could say rivers are created by glaciers for a purpose.
I ponder those mountains and glac

My version of home is by the rivwr where I grew up.
Where the slaps of water on the banks told me it'd okay.

I think anyone can relate to this because many people have their favorite spot(s) to be in silence and feel at peace. This is even more relatable for me because I like being by any body of water, be it a river, creek, lake, or ocean; just being near flowing water brings me peace.
I sense a lot of nostalgia in this piece due to the use of past tense and that desire to go back to the river. For the speaker, the river seems like it would be the key to her freedom from whatever her situation is at the house. This could almost be taken symbolically. Since the speaker and the reader don't know where the river goes, it could mean that the speaker wants to be anywhere but the house and not caring where she ends up.
Even though we get very little detail about the house, it sounds like it's a prison to the speaker; it's all stated in the last five lines of the poem. There are also the lines "I had wish that / My ashes would be / When I ended my life" that adds to this misery.
Overall, you did a nice job with this poem. I think you could have added a bit more imagery while at the river to help us get a sense of why you feel it's your place of peace. However, the minuscule references to the old house works great, it keeps it an ominous mystery.
