we never
wrestle were strong
with we enough
our because to
thoughts fight
these
demons
alone.
we don’t fall in love
we rise up to it
we fall in lust
and hearts die thru it

Into Your Gravity
tall enough
all i ever notice was your chest
once upon a time
i felt the warmth there with your arms
walking on fast pace
to keep my eyes meeting yours
precluding the chances
of awkward hi – hellos
back in old apartment
little talks, meeting old friends
looking at empty stumps
a momentary cut back of lost romance
bid adieu
bound to sulk in my room
walked downstairs
and i saw you
startled with the encounter
and you were talking to me
a nerve-cracking stimulus
gave a cold response and left
deep down in my guts
butterflies were freed
you saying my name
the sweetest earshot i ever heard
into your gravity
clearly i am attracted
over and over
but that you didn’t know
11:11
From your hazelnut stare
To the sound of your soft foot steps
As I write about you
Nothing comes in coherence
Always stuck in your aura
Caught off by your smile
Talk and look right through me
Nothing else matters
Time spent for shallow talks
Laughs that complement my stupidity
All along with those connections
Nothing is more worthwhile than this
After daydreaming, I wish for you
For you to think of me as well
And in the night I’d still wait
For the eleventh minute, for another wish
Twice as much as my efforts
And the bittersweet thoughts of you thinking of me
Enveloped by this infatuation
Nothing else causes this emotional faulty
Felt a crack to my skull
Then the thought of false wishes came
It should be for you to feel what I already felt
Mi corazon, please dig in deeply
Seek beyond what your eyes can see
It is affection, strange but true
Never hopeless for you to feel the same
11:11, just this one for me
Aphelion
Awakened by your snoring and revived some z’s
Right through the ups and downs of your chest
Swallowed by your arms,
Heard the throbbing nearer
To the evening skies that witnessed us
About to rain or stellar
Together walking along the pavements
Pacified by laughter and smoking
Shallow thoughts and talks
Into deep moments and confessions
Twisted by sweet nothings
A killer sentimental mood
Days have gone swift
More of you meant farther
And those nights with you
All soaked in poor reminiscence
To feel your breath
To have you in person
To ease the awful pain of longing
To miss you, such an unbearable ache
To every cloud that keeps moving
For every second hand that ticks around
Uncertain of tomorrow
Always jailed in your memory
Inconsistent
by face, trust no one
looks harmless
but the poison is inside
speaks the truth
caught in a tragic lie
now force me to ever believe
rants for wrong
does the fault unknowingly
surely hypocrisy is sweet
do a little thinking
i strongly suggest
for a poor soul that you have
forgive me for noticing
forgive me for striking sharp
but forgive yourself as well
get out of trouble
no one reacts without a hint
and then cut your stubborn nerve
Anatomy of a Lover
Written 10 July 2012 01:59
Take off your shirt
Let me check your anatomy
Head to toe
Leave it naked
Cerebral functions that never go wrong
Go ahead and impress me
Inclined with your witty guts
I drown in your depth
A fine complexion
Enough not to intimidate me
Eyes of a certain decent
Made for a killer wink
Tongue that would play
Teeth to show off when you lip bite
Every part of you
Entices my feminine side
Shaved beard, exposed jaw line
Hints to the animal in you
You bear those sweet lips
I’d be glad to kiss those
Radiating from the anterior
A physique of an athlete
Broad chest and toned muscles
Designed to surround me
Hands of hardwork
To hold and caress
A mouth to whisper words
Of endearment to my ears
More of your body
More of your mind and soul
Driven by hormones to let you in
Driven by a spell caused by pump machines
Never The Same
Deep thoughts, often confused and twisted
Throbbing nervously as I read the consequence
Of a love ruined by distance,
Of a love that’s needed to be buried by time
Sometimes I think it’s just a phase
Pretty chances to appreciate someone
Set by limitations and of unwanted circumstances
Let go and part for good

Hindsight
an unexpected intersection
marked by a little awkwardness
the usual warm greeting
long walks along the street
untimely meeting
late evening sessions
lame moments and awkward gestures
a kiss to kill the tension
imperative to the situation
twisted thoughts all around
hearts race at a marathon
one’s scared to lose
aggravated by longing
a desire for concealed things
inevitable to fall for it
a trap that we’re both in
careless or carefree
nothing matters but the flesh
ignited by a common thing
everything were surrendered
an unknown identity
a risk to know every inch of you
puzzled to that twist
a thing that gives anxiety
synonymous to euphoria
yeah, that’s you
you’re more than anything
take me to utopia with you
Elements of sadness.
Nimbus skies devour the rays
Of the sun in the afternoon
Looks like it will rain
Eventually flooding the streets to nowhere
Startled by the thunder
Blinded by the strikes of lightning
The evil twins of the dark skies
Accompanied the heavy raindrops
Nostalgic yet amused
With the solitude of the heavens
Moved by the sadness
Bothered by the flashback of memories

To Luna
Few stars bright up the sky
The wind whispers through my ears
Luna, come strike me with your light
Awaken my thoughts this time
Exceptional as it was
Incomparable to domineering city lights
Oh, night of summertime
Remain stellar as you are
Another breath of atmosphere
The sound of swaying foliage
Our shadows exist
Our shadows .. they never meet
Dark blemishes in your pale yellow skin
Like freckles that the Sun has given you
Listen to the sound of my flute
Go near Gaia, nearer to my senses
Taken by the thoughts of Luna
Fell in love with the evening twist
Might as well marry the night
Grant oh universe, my love
Along with the stars above
You were never left all alone
Jailed with your graceful entity
Come and stay longer with me
The Sun blinds the eye
Stars outshine and burst
Beyond space and darkness
A worthwhile beauty was born
Several miles away
There’s no way I can get closer to you
Strike me, God of Thunder
So my ashes could reach Luna’s face
To Luna
Few stars bright up the sky
The wind whispers through my ears
Luna, come strike me with your light
Awaken my thoughts this time
Exceptional as it was
Incomparable to domineering city lights
Oh, night of summertime
Remain stellar as you are

For the sweet nothings will be flying swift
On a dry summer evening
Gazing at the emptiness of the field
Admiring the serenity that the night has brought
As we both sat on a lonely log of ennui
You lit the cigarette
And off we talked to the other side of consciousness
No one really cared about it
We were wandering souls in almost midnight time
To the point of nothingness
And sharing whereabouts that’s really unimportant
I go on to my most sane behavior
You go on your own way too
A grab on your arm, a kiss to your cheek
A smile on your face, some sort of sweet nothings
Another move from a folly that’s inside
Adieu to another night that I was with you

Beyond innocent love and liberated hatred,
My soul doesn’t know where to rest
It doesn’t want to take sides
So it stayed in between
Quite confusing eh?
Night.
Zzz.
