We are waves of people We don't accept defeat Carrying generations of their blood Etched on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet We defy the laws of gravity, our cosmic bodies in orbit always revolving We possess a transformative skin Continuously moving, constantly evolving Current crashing, ripping through the earth Roaring tides behind us, our vicious flood fights The foundation of millennial’s - conscious, violently beautiful beings Our loud waters, impossible to ignore, amorously painting our rights The right, the will, the intense appetite Flavored by salty words with a sweet impulse for action Drowning all numbness, consuming the calm which once was Thinking like philosophers, walking like warriors, as they record our reaction Thin, musty white air trying to cover the shifting blue hues The water never stops moving the ripples inconceivably vast, Our wave leaves masterpieces of celestial proportions Our space is here now, our tomorrow will not echo the past Ours roots are planted and grown in our cities Perfectly immortalized in a valiant state of existence We are waves of people, waves of voices A digital age of collective resistance - p.m

We are waves of people
Seed my soul Wash me clean Drink my juice From in between Feed me love Extract the bad Feel my fingers Flush my fears Get addicted to my poetry Make my laugh your song Buy me that priceless look Everytime I come down In the new gown we bought that one day Dance with me all night, take my breath away I’ve been longing, longing for you Make me feel that lovely feeling again Give me strength Give me motivation Give me something to believe in Ring out all my tears Make me realize they were worth every drop to finally have you beside me Be my gentle boy but my ticklish animal Be my best friend and my lover Let my dreams come true already, I’ve been waiting Let me taste the lust of this forbidden creature that is out there somewhere hiding - p.m

Seed My Soul
Maybe my minds too occupied by you to fall for anyone new Maybe I've lost connection with the world the day I connected with you Maybe there's a possibility that your my light at the end of the subway tunnel Rushing at me, ripping the darts of winds, surrendering my body to the fat tides of air fanning my hair in every direction, stopping in front of me, doors opening, maybe it's you taking me on the ride to the next stop, where to darling ? And if it's you I swear I recognized it long ago, the day I heard your loud laugh and turned around to see your foolish self for the first time, the day we sat on the train side by side listening to the soft hums in each others headphones The day you ran into me at the station, then again in the cafe I swear it was you when you remembered my full name And you caught me by surprise with your stupid jokes Your familiar chuckle and arrogant confidence I stumbled across it only when you killed your vibe, lost touch with stamina and slowed down to catch up with me and then it came again a year later when we were making fun of each other's paintings It's hard not to fall when there's 101 things we share the same We relate to each other I knew it when I felt you click in that part of my brain The part that said the one that's been hidden all along Has found his way to you some how The time is now So maybe I'm not the girl I used to be a year ago, willing to give anything a shot cause it's worth the risk Maybe I've made enough mistakes and learned from them and I'm ready now to found something real, only if you insist It was that moment of silence when I fell for your presence When you weren't around me I missed our essence Maybe it's too much to expect in a matter of passing weeks But if this works out I promise I'll never leave. - p.m

Revisiting you, my something new
Maybe my minds too occupied by you to fall for anyone new Maybe I've lost connection with the world the day I connected with you Maybe there's a possibility that your my light at the end of the subway tunnel Rushing at me, ripping the darts of winds, surrendering my body to the fat tides of air fanning my hair in every direction, stopping in front of me, doors opening, maybe it's you taking me on the ride to the next stop, where to darling ? And if it's you I swear I recognized it long ago, the day I heard your loud laugh and turned around to see your foolish self for the first time, the day we sat on the train side by side listening to the soft hums in each others headphones The day you ran into me at the station, then again in the cafe I swear it was you when you remembered my full name And you caught me by surprise with your stupid jokes Your familiar chuckle and arrogant confidence I stumbled across it only when you killed your vibe, lost touch with stamina and slowed down to catch up with me and then it came again a year later when we were making fun of each other's paintings It's hard not to fall when there's 101 things we share the same We relate to each other I knew it when I felt you click in that part of my brain The part that said the one that's been hidden all along Has found his way to you some how The time is now So maybe I'm not the girl I used to be a year ago, willing to give anything a shot cause it's worth the risk Maybe I've made enough mistakes and learned from them and I'm ready now to found something real, only if you insist It was that moment of silence when I fell for your presence When you weren't around me I missed our essence Maybe it's too much to expect in a matter of passing weeks But if this works out I promise I'll never leave. - p.m

a story about eye contact The look in his eyes reminded me of the fall; they pleaded of death with the misty admiration of life. Slowly intoxicating green veins to shades of orange like a drug, making my spine and my lungs go numb all at once in a single glare. He turned swiftly and broke my focus. Suddenly the noise of the fast moving crowd and passing trains disappeared in a soft hum. Everything became still, and I escaped into the eyes of a stranger that I felt I had known for a millennium. I held my breath as if something profound were to happen, As if the danty grey of his complexion would suddenly dust off and expose bits of his soul. I sneezed. Bless you. “Thanks” I said. And then we started again. Weighing out moments on our hands waiting for the next break. In a moment, we passed soundlessly through a fresco of laminate dreams silently, coated by a serene sadness and a well-timed sneeze. It felt like hours until my stop would reach on the subway, an eternity with his eyes second by second meeting mine with no expression. Now arriving at 6th Avenue Station. 6th Avenue Station. And in the next moment, one of us blinked; the moment passed, and we returned to being complete strangers. p.m

my only exception
I smell you. whistling in the damp, cool air leaving trinkets of autumn's dying cologne to dance around my senses I feel you. wrapping your tender arms around me, transforming from shades of dark maroon to the brightest of yellows I see you. slowly spreading throughout the highest of mountains, leaving your traces everywhere you walk you're entering a new universe, fearing we will forget you you leave your colour stained in our minds before the sun disappears and the snowflakes descend before our fingers go numb and our hearts play pretend before the windows get shut, and my skin doesn't touch your air for months and after you leave, I gaze again into your dust I miss you, I miss us. you'll come again I rekindle, I'll await your sweet spice aroma and knitted sweater weather, I'll await him in hope he'll remember. but it's only october first, and not to get too far ahead but he's just beginning to weave his falling for me thread. p.m
