I write poetry as an attempt to feel less ordinary in this huge universe of hidden emotions.
Let my love come in So when the darkest days come My light will guide you.

Light (Haiku #1)
If the world is against you Don't worry, my child These difficult moments Will make you grow up Cry, suffer Then recover yourself At the end you will reach The day you're strong

The day you're strong
I am just like a sunflower Looking for your light. But it's getting dark And I'm slowly fading In this empty garden.

Where?
Aimless people Running through this city Looking for a shelter In someone's arms. Desperate runners Trying to escape from this maze From those hideous, scared forms They see in the mirrors at the stores. Running from themselves Escaping from reality In an illusion of happiness They always try to reach. Navigating through the darkness While they try to find Any sigh of light.

Any sigh of light
I somehow feel the need to apologize. Still. After all this time. You sang like I was made of the earth and the wind The lovely things. And when I said those three words for the first time And you repeated them... My heart stopped and my soul flew. I was ready to give up my freedom and my future for you... Then you say we're growing apart, You tell him that you never loved me, don't like girls, dated me out of pity And I cried for five hours straight while my heart broke and my mind screamed 'I told you I'm not a girl.' Labor day isn't the same even all these years later. I still have to tell myself it's not my fault. You were on fawns legs, The who am I what I am where do I fit that comes with adolescence And you spoke me fair from the moment we met. I was so happy to finally have someone who saw me for me. I told you so soon 'I'm not a girl, I know it's hard to understand but...' And you say you don't care, nothing changes, I see stars in your eyes And I'm so happy to hold your hand in the hallway, No matter who stares. I should expect the backtracking. The fear. Your parents, who knows what they'd do. And you break it off quietly. Saying you don't think you really like girls. I am still not a girl. We don't really talk now. I just find it hard to feel anything but tired when I'm near you. Then you. You are a girl made of startuff. Your heart among the planets and constellations. I call you starshine and eventually I hope. I ask. I confess. I admit I planned my life with you. Big city apartment, stargazing far away from life, Leaving small town made of quicksand for higher hills and brighter skies. And you were the only one who ever called me by my name. Called me a boy. Gave me anything that felt real. And I know it hurt you to hurt me. I gave you my heart and you treated it as tenderly as you could have. I don't fault you for that. I don't fault you for anything. No matter what you make me feel real And I always have loved the stars.

To the girls who tried to love me

Astral architecture hangs on the balance of my once fragile mind, now unbound and open to the potential of the Penrose Stairs that I climb. Infinity, I thought, was an innate idea man was not meant to understand, because if the universe is in fact infinite, into what does it expand? Standing at the precipice of epiphany, teetering at the very cusp of clarity, it came to me in a monumental moment of sibylline singularity: It expands into itself. The thought was too profound to perceive, too ravenous to be satiated. Could this be at long last, the answer for which I have waited? I realized that consciousness operates under a similar uniformity: the brain won't outgrow the head, but the mind will outgrow the body, and our echoes will radiate across the endlessness of existence, for all our forgotten frequencies are oblivious to the concept of distance. We are all limitless beneath the veil of this perceived reality, but only there are we human, and only then are we free.

Limitless
We spend our whole life Trying to fit into a solid ground. But perhaps we're like the ocean And our waves Cannot be tamed.

Waves
The city's behind me. I run as fast as I can As I get into my forest Escaping from the monsters That are chasing me. I look for a place to hide At this empty, cold life I'm one step beyond My own salvation And one step ahead My fears I hear whispers in the dark From desolated souls That were not able to come back From their hiding place That couldn't survive The monsters in this world. I must do that I must fight.

Shelter
I still remember Your bright eyes Your innocent smile As you walked through the flowers How you made everything better And the whole world looked at you Like you were the brightest star I remember your sweet smell How you aspired freedom Despite of everything. And I'm sure you always knew The place you keep in my heart And that you will remain there Even after you're gone. Little star, Please remember me Wherever you are.

Little star
Darling, don't you try To hide yourself. You're a star, And your brightness cannot be tamed Let it shine shamelessly And guide someone's way Back home
