Being human
Born Nov 2016
Everyone seems to be in a dying mood lately
Fragile love stories
And how your hearts were broken

I get it
You want a different kind of love
A different story
Your own fairy-tale
A different happy ending
But

You chose to drown in miser
Suffocate in unspeakable pain
Craving for hate

Then what?

Muse 'the silent truth
Born Aug 2016
This world is a smoke, that refuses to ignite
constantly on a verger of damnation
a fate  bitter, even in thoughts 'it frightens  

Your father was once enticed in its  illusions
an aching experience
that he carries around  like his Shadow

Don't fall into traps of a fairytale
Indeed they allude the bare truth
That is forever hidden  in plain sight

if need be
Speak your truth, but quietly
with all its troubles
it is still a beautiful world

a light that never fades
Born Aug 2016
Thus your life is stuck with many dreaded thoughts

But a promise of hope isn't fading

It shouldn't

This is what life is
a scented flower but venomous

I was told your fate is in your own hand
But again I was taught that my fate is in God's hands

Some days I get it
other days I don't

But I do get hope
After all its the only thing I do get
Born Jul 2016
A heart clenched
Words stack on my throat
A mortal slowly fading into dust
An echoing dreaded thought "This is how you'll  be remembered"

day after wretched day I cling to existence
A glimpse of hope that darkens away
A fragile life filled with poignant thoughts



Tears  hidden in a smile
Reminiscing a day long dead
A speck of laughter
'That's a sound I've forgotten'

Enticed into slavery
a life I loathed, but longed for

Gasping for more air
anything,
at least I get to breathe before demise
a certain fate


Sometimes  dreams are better than  reality
In dreams I don't suffocate
On the weight of my actuality
I don't  experience a reciprocating sad story
I am the hero, not the villain

But, this heart has been diced
Tricked  into illusions
of a compliment and a potent smile

a deceptive story of a stitched heart
long forgotten

I am no one
Born Jul 2016
I might be Carter
a fallacious poet
who wrote you when you were broken
devoured in pit of hell
but still scratching for light

I might  be Born
a reborn creature awakened from slumber
with a soothing tone
slowly reaping your speck of hope

I might be him/her
the one who feeds you love poems
Enticing broken promises
and a promise of a happy ending

Forsaken
Born May 2016
Often she wondered
Why her life was full of blunders
if ever she conquered the world
would it still matter

They say she botched her very existence
she wept day and night
the dead woke and wept with her

this distant world
this can't be her fate
a belated happiness
a belated life

When desolation
sorrow
and tots of regrets
surrounds, and pierces through her soul!

When she almost gives in to the gallow
a sorrowful Weeping willow
who is a widow
Of silence
creeps in and offers salvation

Born Apr 2016
She did not die, slowly but surely the wound healed and soon there was only a scab and even that fell in time leaving only a scar - for there always must be something on memory, a little disharmony, a barely visible break from the continuity of the weave of life

Cry my child, for one does not bury a child without burying a part of one's soul with it.
Cry, for one cannot comprehend the ways of God.
It is for us to wash away our painful confusion  with tears and then to carry on.

For yesterday is not today and today is not tomorrow

Edge of paradise
Born Mar 2016
Sometimes my heart just skips
with sorrow and fear
of so many unpredictable events


My life hardly flashes in front of me anymore
everything is slowing suddenly
was I a worthy creature
did I earn my very existence

Am filled with questions and regrets
the world is possibly never going to be a better place
I open my eyes and I see him been devoured
I close them and I don't hear anything
they are all immuned to pain

I wonder
Is life really worth living?

they wonder
if there was ever a light at the end of the tunnel
they don't have fairy stories anymore
Maybe a quick death is a show of mercy
and these are the best fairy tales they have


When they took him
He cried out loud
Please shoot me, don't let them take me
you know what they'll do!

Someone from the crowd shot him
they all starred with no tears
they knew he's better dead than alive

Excruciating agony they felt


Is this what love is?

unlikely story
Born Mar 2016
Many years ago
a possible
love story was formed

It began like
every other story
a gaze that
stops time
and a very bad idea

Not his bad idea
hers



for some reasons
that day he was loaded
with anger
He desperately wanted to smash something

Lucky for him
a thief showed up
a girl thief
it didn't matter to him
cause he wanted to smash something
or someone in this case
He drew his sword and they danced for awhile


  
  He didn't
   believe in love
   but she said
   this is our love story
  
   He laughed so hard and said
   the kinda love story
   that I want to **** someone
   and you just show up

A glass of wine
Born Jan 2016
Like I didn't know what's gonna happen
i bought her a book
Instead of that wine

Curious! So she came over
I waited for that wine, you know!

I preferred when you get lost in words
the way you stare and pay attention
like it's your story
or maybe someday our story

us meeting
maybe it wasn't a coincidence,
when you came into my life
you became a part of my story

a glass of wine
while we watch the sun set
as our story continues

One day
Born Dec 2015
I Keep thinking
Just one second is all I ever needed
To go back in time
and breathe the words i couldn't
I love you

There's a little empty space in my heart
I couldn't say anything
Such helplessness
but it was written all over your face
You loved me



Here I thought
Someday was gonna be that day
that one day
I always talk about
the one day that means never
You love him

I feel like
a failed suicide attempt
a walking corpse
with a soul
that clings so hard
it hurts

Fact or fiction

Reality or illusions

lately the line has been
a little too blur

I have these poignant thoughts
about my life
the future is scary

More scary now
that my eyes are wide open


I can't close these gate
I can't close these chapter
I can't close these door

It has to happen
I know it has to happen
It painfully has to happen

Altar of lost souls
Born Dec 2015
I was a preacher  in a church
and i fell in love with your mother
then came the excommunication

I betrayed my vows
I betrayed my own brothers

she said
women speak 7000 words a day
but couldn't find perfect words for me

so we went under
the house of bones
and there
I was told
ghost stories

May the Devils  blessing be upon  you
Curse be upon you


This are the prayers that am left with
It is bad
It was bad, crafted so bad
I couldn't breathe  

It's raining outside
I can't think
I can't see anything

Mine innocence taken
And bullets am given

I have a family
I had a family
am not retreating
am not surrendering

I've  seen people **** people
But i shot her just to save her


If i told you my story
They'll think am a beast
they'll believe that I am the  devil

Indistinct fallacy
Born Nov 2015
Fame
Money, exaction of reality

life, envying their dreams!! perfections

existence full of theories and vexation

this is my perception

like a beautiful lie theirs no affection

always dreaming the same things, there's no end to this circulations

a nightmare, no strength for confrontation

sometimes the thoughts are good but no relations

always sweating, trying to make this icicles

double checking, mixed up, confused with this feelings of  ambiguation

when will this end, illusions

I had a heart
Born Nov 2015
Am so happy we can live a lie
without worrying about the cracks
without knowing they exist

I had a  fight with the devil
just to bring you flowers
I had no idea that you were unhappy
you could have told me
that you were unhappy

                     I had
                                                    a heart  
                              when I
wrote this


I gave my heart to this girl
but I guess she purposely hurt me
I feel angry for nothing
I barely go out in the public

If only they know
what I go through
they wouldn't judge me
I bet they wouldn't judge me
no they wouldn't judge me
No more!

I find light in the darkest places
am immune to struggle
just like am used to  losing people
who'd say I love you

The after
Born Oct 2015
Let me tell you my story
Our story
the one everyone is afraid of telling
"the after"

It's been five years since we fell in love
since we had time for us
Since we  were crazy about each other

If you asked me then
if I would catch a grenade for you
in a blink I'd say yes

but now
things are different
I love you
but I also love them

the little ******
who scream with so much passion  
you'd go insane

But I still remember you
I meant us

the flowers I got you
the ***** nurse dresses that you intoxicated me with


how amazing ballerina you were
your love for Spanish songs
and those depressing soaps that never ended

and of course
we ******* everywhere
Toilets
Table
Kitchen
on the beach
you name it

But
What about now
what happened after we got married

terrible flute

before all this
chandelier was a beauty
until it fell
and crushed into so many tiny pieces

I wrote tequila to get over it
but
hand me a glass
a bottle of scotch
a paper and pen
tears will be my ink

why this poem
why Why this poem

a string is missing from my guitar
something doesn't feel right
my vocal is gone
my notes and..... that poem

oh
I meant this poem
this titanic piece
am about to write

it doesn't look great
the iceberg
the icicles on our heads
wait
why am I seeing dolphins
I thought this was  that poem

Hand me a note
Of a cynic brother
about the wars we've fought
the blood we've split
and the ones that bonded us together

I am a sinner
with dashing looks
a serpent smile
and a lust greater than a vampire

I hear them cry
when I close my eyes
I see their voids
Desperate
Desperation is all they cling to

I am a sinner
With a beauty voice
and an army of corpse behind  me

I sin for a better course
just like you lie for a better tomorrow
just like a mantra

many things left unsaid
but for sure
these life is uncertain
