true love
One Day
One day.
One day I will find her.
One day she will find me.
One day it will be the best moment of my life.
One day she will steal my heart.
One day I will know what true love is.
One day she will be my forever.
One day I will be complete.
One day.
Frivolity in the Midst of Danger
Come on, take my hand.
There’s a stunning carnival
Right in front of us.
It lights up the night
Like a group of fireflies.
Don’t you see that we have
A chance to rule the night?
So what are you waiting for?
There’s lots to do.
So much to see.
Our hearts will guide us.
No point in holding back now.
We only live once.
We can’t waste this time away.
The night is so young,
But baby, so are we at heart.
The park is stunning.
It’s everything that
I dreamed of.
Why did I delay before?
Now that I’m grown up,
There’s no chains to hold me down.
Come on, take my hand.
The rest of our lives await!
Why are you so scared?
Is the rotating wheel barrel blocking our path?
Did the power outage cause your heart to beat so loud?
Intensive moments build up character and bravery.
Your fears are below you now.
The storm may have
Crashed the party,
But that’s not how I see it.
Being so close to danger
Puts what we’ve learned to the test.
So let’s stand our ground.
And not wait until tomorrow.
The park is stunning.
It’s everything that
I dreamed of.
Why did I delay before?
Now that I’m grown up,
There’s no chains to hold me down.
Come on, take my hand.
The rest of our lives await!
IF YOU LOVED ME
If you loved me tried and true,
My soft heart I'd give to you.
Every night and every day,
Grand sweet dreams would come my way.
If you loved me ,if you would,
I would hold you like I should.
Never would there be a night,
when I would not hold you tight.
Two Hearts
Angel eyes,
James Dean smile,
and a Marcos Not A Hero shirt
He was scouring the room when he found me first
Shy guy type,
crooked spine,
My heart compressed and prepared for the worst
The second he stepped in to my world,
I found my tongue struggling for some words
"I'm a bad conversation,"
I'd say, gripping harder on my first Chardonnay
"How else can you be a conversation?"
he'd flash a smile, flicking the last of his Marlboro Lights
And right there and there,
two souls collided into a glorious explosion,
sliding to the grip of the claws of the night
on the way to the familiar road
of sins, misery, and scenic memories
After two nights of flying ballistics
and crippling thoughts once abandoned,
Two hearts soon mixed
into a sparkling August poison
A blue bourgeois Libra
And a yellow-bleeding Leo
A pair of delicate, diamond hearts
Defying fate, seeking Cupid's darts
Rising from the dead,
Rising from ash
Rising for the words once left unsaid
The thrill of it all is eating me whole
I feel the shaking ground and the cold air blows
Omens, cautions, and warnings
Red lights above us all blaring
A whirlwind romance, friends say,
is bound for doom and eventual fade
But his words are enough to hold on to
Words that make my demons fade into view
along with my bad past as I start anew
Away from the dark clouds
that have crippled me.
Rebirth
“Who is he?”
I whisper to myself
as your eyes gaze off to the distance
and treat me with the unbearable silence
I’m a little too late, I guess,
I hear your eyes scream, they confess
It is him who holds your heart
The one you’d rather hold your hand
Under the city lights
In a cold November night
But my love for you is greater than his.
So do the honor and list down the things
you so liked about him
Watch me burn myself with a pile of leaves
and reborn as him
Just let me be your light, your candle tonight
I can be him, your lover, if you like
I’ll cut my wrist, drain the blood my ancestors
passed on to me
Replace it with the words he whispers
when I’m not around
Let his words flow down my veins so you may speak
and tell me all the things you never say to me
Slit my throat with the screen of the phone you use
To capture his face, his smile, the perfection, your muse
Because you never even once
took a picture of me
— or maybe my image is just
too hideous for you to keep?
What strength of lens does he use, you say?
I can smash mine down if it’s not the same
Use the shards to peel off my skin I so badly hate
Blessed is he to have the kind that keeps you sane
I’ll unclench my claws I’ve spent years to build
Pull them out and mold me his hands and feet
Let the blood spritz all over the room
Let them spell: HERE LIES A HOLY FOOL,
WHO SURRENDERED HIMSELF FOR LOVE —
BECAUSE HIS LOVE WAS NEVER ENOUGH.
Tell my mother I died a sweetest death
And I’ll be waiting in line in the Day of Resurrect
Pour out the gasoline all over my corpse for the final touch
Say a short Ignatian prayer before you strike the match
Watch my skin; watch my veins turn to ash, turn to dust,
as I’m enveloped and swallowed by flames
‘Cause I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of asking,
“Who is Carl, baby? I’m James.”
From now on, call me Carl.
Ready to be happy
I stay up wondering when will the time come
I ask myself why not me
I see others with such joy and happiness
It's as if that joy was not meant for me
I know she's out there but when will we meet
Its only a matter of time i hope
For that happiness I see i want for me
The Simplicity
Why do I love you?
Well,
Why does the Mockingbird sing, and
Why does the coal smolder?
Why do I love you?
Well,
Why does the flower wilt, and
Why does the star burn?
Why do I love you?
I love you because I simply do.
Just as you are simply beautiful, and
As I am simply crazy for you.
Just as the Moon simply conducts the ocean,
You simply guide my heart.
Just as a princess simply seizes her assassin,
You simply captivate my thoughts.
Just as an incurable disease simply invades a body,
You simply conquer my being.
Just as a prisoner simply notches tallies into stone,
You simply were engraved into me.
Why do I love?
Well, because you are simply the way you are.
But the real question is,
Do you love me?
My First Real Love
You came suddenly into my life,
-a most unexpected surprise.
But all at once, my first real love,
was right there, before my eyes.
In these many months since then,
I've known love like never before.
Because at last, and finally,
I'm with, my long-lost boy-next-door.
You make me feel such amazing things,
I thought I'd buried deep down, away.
Things I felt, I had to forever hide,
Lest they caused my heart to fray.
But always, you were there,
tucked into, the memories of my mind.
And always a place, in my heart, you held,
never dreaming you, one day, I'd find.
But now that we're finally together,
I'll never again, let you get away from me.
Too many years were wasted for us...
You see, we were always meant to be.
Please, Don't Go
Please don't go --
I hardly knew you.
I hardly knew whether you
liked your carrots and hummus with
blueberry tea, chai, or if you
preferred water. I hardly knew
if pancakes were your favorite
with fresh fruit, or if waffles
could have been substituted.
I hardly knew if classical music was
your jam, though Hozier definitely broke
through.
Please don't go,
I need you whole and
I love you so; your presence gives me
flutterbys that calm my crazy stomach.
I hardly knew whether Scarlett
matched your eyes.
I hardly knew if your taste in literature
was acquired, like that sweet tooth for ice cream,
or if your very genes turned on
the expression of a bookworm.
I hardly knew the soles of your glorious feet
and where they would want to be planted,
given the chance to take root. I
hardly knew if your sleepy eyes
looked for mine
before guiding your consciousness
into dreams.
Please don't go.
I want you forever, and
I know that's selfish, but
I've never expressed greed like this
before.
You are the sweetest notes
to ever grace my ears;
sweeter than the twinkling of
the brightest star,
sweeter than the tigers spoken by Mary Jane,
sweeter than any ice cream I could possibly name.
So please don't go --
you keep me whole.
I love you so.
