romance
La Playa de la Reina de Los Ángeles
(a sonnet)
An old man stands again at angel's shore,
Ten thousand days and miles in between.
An anxious sea drowns sun, just as before,
And she returns, beguiling as first seen.
Her pure expression burns into his soul,
Confused with decades worth of discontent.
A grace filled vision from this haunting toll,
And finally shares her name, Exuberant.
His Dryad dances down the search-lit night,
Forever wearing that bewitching gaze.
At end of day, he's come to set things right,
And with her loosed, an ancient debt repays.
Yet freed, he prays this angel not depart,
For still he fears that with her goes his heart.
An old man stands again at angel's shore,

An anxious sea drowns sun, just as before,
And she returns, beguiling as first seen.
Her pure expression burns into his soul,
Confused with decades worth of discontent.
A grace filled vision from this haunting toll,
And finally shares her name, Exuberant.
His Dryad dances down the search-lit night,
Forever wearing that bewitching gaze.
At end of day, he's come to set things right,
And with her loosed, an ancient debt repays.
Yet freed, he prays this angel not depart,
For still he fears that with her goes his heart.

an innocent crush
she saw me
and I saw her
I smiled and
saw the giggle in her
I was sitting across her
watching how the thin air
mess her hair
our blushed eyes met
each other in turns
as she put the hair
behind her ears
the smell of the fresh green
as we pass the fields
and I fly into her eyes
lost in my dreams with her
then again,
I search for her eyes
her sparkling eyes
painted a blush
on our faces
my teenage heart
proposed to her
in the next station
I married her
on a beach
then I searched
for her eyes
and I saw her,
walking slowly
on the platform
as I slowly
passed her
I never
saw her again.
but still,
those eyes...
paint a blush
on my face

your silent smile...
.
I want to
wake up everyday
laying next to you
I want to
be the first thing you see
and the reason for your morning smile
watching you wake up next to me
I say good morning beautiful
with my morning breathe
you wrinkle your nose
with a silent smile
you take my hand,
roll over and pull me in
I kiss your neck and
hold you tight
and you say
good morning baby
I silently smile
I will
.

with a silent smile
you take my hand,
roll over and pull me in
I kiss your neck and
hold you tight
and you say
good morning baby
I silently smile
