I know words that make sentence touch the heart when words don't have fingers, / and sentences are just the arms of a message waiting to be heard. / / I am simply getting out of the mess I have made. These words are for you.
There will come a day where instead of lovers chasing cars, people with love will be climbing comets. And where the light of the stars is not enough to make the night full--where no limit is far past the moon. A day will come when somebody adds a new letter to the alphabet. And where loving is no longer harder than having no love at all. And the only way for the world to change is if the day and the night, the sun and the moon, the good and the evil, the right and the wrong, the love and the hate, and everything else: both looked and recognized each other. There will come a day where rain is soft like the falling of flower pedals. The day will come where all light is vanished, and with the light of candles it will be the wavering wind who will decide to put out its flames. And maybe that day is here, now, right here--finding it was never that easy.

When It Comes Be Prepared
Like young lovers—where too much talking shortens the romance and where it too was never worth the risk to say goodbye. The fire no longer burns the same but I still want to hear what your eyes scream. And my problem is that loneliness and I are best friends; when I go outside it is with the birds, the clouds, the chalk within this pavement where I have my own cheap conversations. We can pass through the days like a series of jump-cuts and nothing between us changes, and we lay together as victims of this dark road, listening to the trickling of rainfall down our windows coming into our world where we no longer live in.

It Is Not The Same
I trace the memories kept behind like fingerprints. The love we had is now crushed and swept away by a wave of our indolence and insanity. I go back to the time of sadness, Because it was the sadness of her eyes the made me happy happy happy and somewhat sane… All I have left are the mental photographs of what happened and of wanting what could have been. I leave now with all the things that I traced—things that can never be erased like fingerprints that never ever had changed. I sit here alone in this disease-ridden couch, with my disease-ridden hope. And I will memorize your eyes, blinking to the rhythm of you heartbeat, dancing in a starlit daydream—as I am wishing of a memory where you gave me everything you had and where I offered you the pieces that were left of me. I kept all memories of you in a heart-shaped box, where it is slowly crumbling as time goes by. I kept all your secrets, your playbook, your cards, your broken cassettes and cigarettes our now and always, your sad eyes and the happiness you had and which made me smile again. So maybe fingerprints and memories share a common thing. They say that “good things happen to those who wait”, I’d say keep on waiting, ******** I have been waiting, and still all I’ve traced is the measurements of my indolence and insanity. So yeah, keep on waiting.

And Fingerprints Have Memories Too
It is not just the way that you move, much more or less the way in which you dress. The caliber of your presentation: it has no scope, no measurable standpoints.— For you are a poem with feet, and at one point God called you a star. But you are a song, who is gently prancing melodies that cure my maladies. And I want no one else to hear you when you sing. Because I want to be the only one who listens…listening until the day my bones run dry and no flesh, no carcass is left of me. And vultures shall feast upon my cruel skin, shivering in the dark rays of night, leaning over the crevices of my teeth. My teeth, the size of piano keys. You stick to me, and **** the life out of me like a silky, black ******* leech. And I love you too much, and you, perhaps too little. Giving you each and every inch of my purple heart; still not being enough. And still when you speak: it is with outstanding purpose and resolve. You spoke of love, even when love did not exist. As all eyes look towards you, and all ears lend their time to you too. As if you were a magnet that connects two distinguishing charges: grace and charm. Your wicked ways will be what I will die falling in love with. For every time I breathe slowly, and calmly, and every step I take, it is with confidence. I am not a broken machine, living in this mechanical planet: I will eternally, faithfully, and all of me will rise to you whenever you shall move dress sing **** me off speak…or… whenever you shall too love me, just enough.
