Real Life
can we rewind just a little bit
so we can keep doing what we always did
can we enjoy all the safety without the commitment
and stay on the same old proven track
can we enjoy the happiness without all the sad
but without admitting all of that
we won't fall unless we fly
we won't land unless we take off
we don't belong in this pretend honeymoon phase
it'll wear off in the coming days
we won't last unless we move towards a better sunrise
it won't hurt to breathe the fresh air
and the flowers won't even care
if we run through...

Yeah It's Over (So Here I Go)
Fast Rant]
I'm tired of the way you act
as if the world is slowing down
but you're still flying through the air
at faster than the speed of sound
if you can't hear the things I say
then maybe you should sit with me
so we can talk about all this
and why it is that I'll be leaving you
[chorus]
yeah it's over
and you should know
if you were sober
well, I'd still go
yeah it's over
and it goes to show
I'm no push-over
ugh!
so here I go
[regular]
I'm giving us another chance
I hope...

Your Eyes are Heaven,
I want to spend Eternity looking at them.

BURNOUT
the sun is possessively
glaring without blinking
too much warmth is blazing my being
longing for the cloud's shading
craving for a drop of rain
to save me from this pain
I am wilting even before my time
like a dying stalk of red rose on post Valentine
I need to breathe
please give me some space
from your brand of love
suffocating my spirit
please give me back my freedom
to revive my self-respect
so I can be the real me
once again
...

Lashes to Lashes (short version)
Lashes to lashes:
Lashes to lashes extended story
Lashes to lashes :
whispering words from my lips
Softly drips
Manuka bits
Covering your hearts intent with sweetness
Giving you dreams of
peacefulness
All though the awaking hour of the moon’s
Twilight
When the Angels and Principalities fight
Of the good versus evil strife
Allowing me the way to your bedside
Lashes to lashes ,
Butterflies to Butterflies,
Kisses to kisses
...

VOTO DE BODA
Estoy en carro prestado
Porque el tren ya me habia dejado
Muchos fueron los años
Que solo encontraba engaños
Hasta que un galán secuestro mi corazón
Y para casarme, me ha dado buena razón.
Pasaré los dias junto a él
Y por siempre le sere muy fiel.
En los tiempos Buenos y los tiempos malos
Depende si le hago la comida o se mete en chaos.
Doesn't "ring" well in English and, therefore, the humor is lost....but this is the translation:
I am in a borrowed car
Because the train had already passed me by
Many...

Living On Vicious Emotions: A Solace Weep
Amazed by presence of
pureness and your nature,
I contemplate the scent that heaven has teared,
As the sky is filled with dreams
I stare across my window
i find meaning in the art across the nations
As you can see what i see,
A fulfillment amid oceans,
Aeons echoing in distance,
I looked above
Heaven weep,
Crystal clear visions of how simple
Life could be,
Between rhymes
And melodic empathy.
As rain drops on my face,
Resemble tears i shed,
Heavenly sent
I admit
I still love you
Of course...

The Scent of Summer in Your Hair
The scent of summer in your hair
and the glint of oceans beneath sunbeams
the brightness of your eyes, supple as the
dawn's flower, fragile as the dream just
before waking
These hands though aged and rough
capture the contours of your skin as if it
were warm honey being poured over them,
surely more experienced than touched
it speaks to me
The rise and fall of your breath
brings harmony to my heartbeat and
synchronicity to the soul, my thoughts
noisily race, a babbling brook of
peace and love making
...

The Return part 2
(Insert, a tease taking from The Return part 2
Before eyes for me to know I couldn’t see past Your eyelashes kohl,
Angry rains seem to mock me and pour down heavy and I thought when is this storm going to ever end so I drove back carefully slow,
With Mosaic emotions
Red,black,white,yellow, and violets in blooms-of oceans
I fell into sleep deprivation, dozing,
A lucid dream me holding,
My purple pen lays prostrate to his Royal soul magistrate
The written prose for your jury eyes to dilate
truth maybe hidden, patience, must wait ...

Express-less
Walk to walk
And talk the talk
It was all that mattered
for long
It deterred,
Each blood stain
That crossed through,
the power pressing
against chests,
Digest,
Walk the walk
and talk the talk
no more time is left
to pick up what was left,
unsolved,
this and that
answers lost,
as you walk the walk
and talk the talk,
makes no sense,
that’s how
easy stuff
get not
figured out
the lost and the gain,
two sides and a coin,
just one game, ...

Silenced
I followed her into her ocean
And we both drowned
Under the weight of her sorrow
Never to utter another sound
And we both drowned
Under the weight of her sorrow
Never to utter another sound
