La gente viene y va, Pero los recuerdos permanecerán siempre , A medida que nuevos amigos vienen a lo largo, Para hacer nuevos recuerdos, De felicidad, De la tristeza, Siempre hay espacio para más.... Debo confesarte que Tus recuerdos acarician mi corazón Mientras que otros salen por la puerta. Debo contarte que tus recuerdos son la razón por cual llevo esta sonrisa justo en este momento Escribiéndole esto Debo decirte que tus recuerdos se mantienen en mi interior......... Espero que yo también lo estoy..... En el tuyo. -MM-

Tus Recuerdos
I feel as if I had wasted my life my accomplishments were few and very dry As I stand alone in this room filled with darkness My ability to do good as always remains spark-less My soul feeds on empty desires and hope When I perish from earth; will my family be able to cope? Mourn my death till resurrection? Turn your gaze to someone who deserves your love and affection. Of my skin women desired my complexion Gravity itself cuts you off But from me to you that was never my intention Simplicity and uncertainty is surrounding the grey clouds of my mind. Conquering different ideas but haven't come close to arrest the gift of thought. Constantly reminded of the Shadowless creatures I continuously fought I give thanks to God because from his sons blood I was bought After the sun has faded in the west I'm suddenly touched and absorbed to ignite the flame of life Encouraged by many to leave behind the madness and strife Precision thinking is a must I refuse to give up and return back into dust. Weak I once was Yearning the wrong I once wanted Materialistic views I had and yes, I would flaunt them Well, I have come this far.... I let gods word pierce both my body and soul I'll write it on the tablets of my heart To keep me balanced and forever hold the key to self control. -Marco Mondragon

In This Empty Room That Became Filled With Sunlight
Your kiss: a poison that is like the honey of bees. It brings sweetness to my mouth and it makes me reach out for more. I know I shouldn't, for it's poison that I'm drinking! But you are a beauty that I cannot resist

Your kiss
i do not love you words are not in abundance i am not drawn to you like birds migrating to warmer heavens i felt something brief, my breath was caught by love's noose, but stranger things happen, i do not love you, because to love you would be to become you, to capsize like a boat, submerging into red seas, i do not love in small measures, to do so would be worse than blasphemy, i feel for you, but i do not love you, i do not search for your face in crowds, i do not love in honesty, only lies pounding hoofs on loves ground. i cannot love you, because the taste of it is strange in my mouth, an unwanted flavour, like sand and dust, in the midst of something that should be sweet. i do not love you, or i cannot love at all.

to search for your face in crowds
i am forgettable i am dull i am a background character at best never the hero never the love interest never the happy ending always the passing glance always half acknowledged always the plan b never the apple of anyone's eye nothing special nothing new or brilliant or beautiful nothing memorable, no spark i am beige i am boring i am only loved out of obligation i do not exist to you or to anyone or to anything at all

i want to grow up next door from you i want to be seven years old with you i want to put band-aids on your skinned knees i want to meet you in a book store i want to talk about poetry and art and trotsky i want to buy you a book like i'm buying you a drink at the bar i want to sit next to you on the train i want to make small talk about the weather i want to lend you my coat and forget to ask for it back i want to be a field nurse if you're a wounded soldier i want to change your gauze and sneak you extra meal rations i want to be a bystander talking you off the ledge i want to lead you gently back into the world i want to be careful with your heart i want to love you softly and abiding

My stomach is aflutter Her beauty I dare not approach For if I am unwanted. I will be put to shame for my dull desire of just wanting to be with her.

i am no refuge if the past 2 years have taught me anything i am more shrapnel than shelter with willing hearts strewn in my wake but i am kind i will not salt your wounds with these tears i will keep my distance but these thoughts like water circulate silently around you never straying farther than these arms can swim and i am weak i am so weak for the smile that found me in the sound and the strangers much softer and worthier than i but your songs still medicate me and you said you'd keep me warm and i don't remember what i said next but it doesn't matter anymore because you said you'd keep me warm and i am still shivering

Under the sun of salvation my soul rests. My thoughts remain beautiful but crucial. Too wicked to understand.

I couldn't wait for the day the sun didn't feel like it was trying to burn me, or for the day the rain wasn't trying to fill my lungs. I couldn't wait for the day the highway wouldn't sound like it's calling me to play with it, or the day sidewalks quit threatening to swallow me whole. There was something about the way my fear of love made the words wrap themselves around my vocal cords. I'm sorry I've never been able to get those three words out without sounding like I'm going to choke. I couldn't wait for the day my love for you didn't feel like a consequence or for the day I could convince myself that what you felt for me was real. The truth is I'm not used to people staying longer than I'm able to hold myself back from pushing them away. I got in the habit of writing my love to you on the parts of my skin that I'd never let you see, so that tearing off my clothes would be the easiest way to show you how I feel. My veins are filling with ink now, a mix of red and blue filled with words left unsaid. Some nights I talk to the walls, some nights they tell me about where your knuckles made dents when I'd whisper in my sleep about leaving you; I never really thought you'd be the first one out the door. Loving you was making excuses. Loving you was throwing diamonds in wishing wells, knowing my hope wasn't worth the price. Sometimes when the highway calls me, sometimes when the sidewalks threaten to swallow me whole, sometimes when the rain fills my lungs with water;  letting you go looks a lot like the final death of me.
