Chilean Just a normal guy, writing about normal things
In the face of uncertainty, we are forced to make a choice. Whether it be right or wrong, a choice must be made: to stumble in the blinding dark or head for a brighter day. If in the dark you reside, pain and suffering you must hide. If the light draws you near, love and passion must keep clear. So, as I fall into the darkness, I can't help but wonder how to fall faster.

No Name
In love... With the moon setting into the ocean, Over the balcony filled with passion. Under covers and intertwined, Breathing softly together. In and out, up and down. Slowly fading, ever sinking into darkness. A spattering of dreams mix with reality. A glimpse of the future; a rustling outside. A toss and a turn or a sharp and distant past. In love... With the early birds and the dawning light. Feet lightly touching; hands clasped tight. Necessity to move but a want to stay still. A kiss on the lips with a longing in the eyes. Another breaking morning and another soft goodbye.

Asleep
Oh let me be with you Just one time before I go Amongst that dark and blue All of you are the one When I set my eyes on you Black and bleak with a spiral of white That's where I am tonight You tease and mock my soul Every night I am out with you I cry whenever you leave at morning's dawn Just once take me with you Before golden rays burn us away

Cosmos
Smells like rain as I wander through thick fog Always an arms length away from the wall of white Can't find my way, trapped inside an open maze I keep walking forward, although I can't feel the ground My head in the clouds, brushing feathers with fowl My eyes separate light, like a prism in my pupils Red crosses yellow, crosses green, crosses blue Then a flash of orange and I snap to Lying on the ground with my adrenaline coming down Like a needle in my heart, I can't gain control Flashbacks of color cause reality to blur My limbs are like water, splashing into the ground Trying to gain the upper hand simply causes chaos With no one around to help me from this place I lie in the sky watching the ground roll by Nothing I can do to stop from being so high I reach for tress hoping to pull myself down But at arms length I can only grab white mist And it smells like rain as I rest in the clouds

White Mist
I feel it coming    this sensation of old Like a tornado's wind   quiet before the storm I feel your heart beating   we beat in tune But something in me fears   my heart will skip a few It is an age old wound   that once torched my soul It was a love for a jewel   that turned black inside Only because I let go   dropping it to my feet The shattering pieces   splattering black ink Enough of the old   I will get back to you I love what you've done   made my heart into goo But now I have to run   so yours won't too It is the only way I know how   when saying goodbye I just pick up and run   bowing as I go by

Bowing
Laying on the ground, Its two in the morning. The winds have died down, And in some way, I'm mourning. Tar fills my lungs, I can't help that now. The taste is foul on my tongue, Just like your name that I disavow. The stars up in the sky, Shed light on my darkness. Just like all birds can fly, But only to impress. To show they're masters of their skill, And I wish I could be one. I wish to be up there, and feel the thrill, But as I'm about to soar, you cease my run. So I lay here alone, broken and bruised I always try to pick myself off the dirt, But you always refuse. You keep me down here, so I can hurt. You keep me down here, so you can fly. But hold on to your wings, Cause ****** I am going to survive.

Survive
So I look to the sky and I ask Him above: "What am I doing? Where do I go?" He strikes down some light, and shows me a path, The light was too bright, so I closed my eyes. And under my skin, I saw the trail. It was long and winding, steep and frail. But I walked that path, standing in the light. My feet weren't were moving, and I didn't take flight. But I could feel the path, moving beneath my feet. I could feel his gaze, warm with heat. I still walk this path, but with eyes open. Someday I will step and reach the end. But I won't be alone. No, I will have you, my friend.

Path
As I lay in bed at night, Something catches my eye. A golden strand of hair, From memories gone by. I roll over to face the window, Hoping the pain will subside. But normally when I do that, Your hand graced my side. Ask if everything was ok, I'd say yea and roll back. Laying there staring, Into your beautiful eyes. I get this sensation, That I'll be in your heart forever. It so hard not to think, Sitting alone here in this house. Looking at the stairs, That you've sat on so many times before. My bed that we laid in, For the very first time. Gone, much like you, To a place I cannot find. So I sit here alone, Thinking all about you. Knowing that you, Aren't thinking about me too. So it's time to move on, Grow up and grow old. Maybe someday we'll be together, But for right now, I fold.

Fold
Love is lost Hate is found You're like frost I'm tied and bound Stick to faith And learn to believe Love comes quick And leaves so fast Burn your thoughts Sacrifice your dreams Drop what you have And pick up what you need Keep your health And **** all else

Love is Lost
No more midnight sleepovers. No more movies we never watch. No more teddy, no more lambiepoo. He was the first gift I gave you. No more sweet nothings in your ear, No more will I hide you from your fear. No more mid-afternoon naps, No more stale bread for the ducks. No more fries for the squirrels, No more walks in the light. No more night swimming, No more late night ice cream. No more freaking out, Laughing till we have six pack abs. No more will I be there. No more will life be unfair. No more tears to shed, No more angry words spread. No more will we be sad, No more will we be mad. No more will I be there, To wrap my arms securely around you. No more.... No more.... No more....
