Lets go into the Sun

Lets go into the sun
Let me put my sunscreen on

8 O’clock on a Sunday night
Squad ready up and fight

Pour a whisky on the rocks
Sitting in a sorrow
What happened to the kid in me
Being happy and giddy
Wanting to be like Mike
But here I am, rocking a mic
Wondering what my life will be like

Jack & Jerry
Carlos Iglesias Sep 2019
Jack and jerry noticed a dam
This **** dam was huge and leaking
What came out was liquefied gold, most desirable
Both reveled in it and wanted more
BAM BOOM DING
More of this lovely treasure leaked out
Giddy realization kicked in rather quick and both had this dream now
Set hours, shifts and turns were done
Both got blinded by their desire
Working overtime on this feat
The dam leaked and the rest is history.
alcohol is good in tiny amounts. Feels good to let yourself be free, only in massive amounts you regret.

A Winter Sight I love
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
A winter sight I love
Purifies the world and makes me go blind
With each step I take
Relays the soaked, sinkhole mud to which is beneath me
I slip and fall
To be hit ******* the floor of spine shattering surface
And the sun disappears for another storm

Only Need One
Carlos Iglesias Sep 2019
Odds to find millions
Only need one
Could use few others
Sitting on the plain
Casper should be my name
A flickering flimsy switch
Faulting to find a side
Just need one
Friends and that one to be around while trying to figure out what side I should show.

Simple Things are Great
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
Music flows like water;
mixed with electricity in my blood
with the waves reflecting off, through my skin
lets ride the waves.

O No O My
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
The pressure cooker blew up.
Grease and fire spread throughout the kitchen and house
I just stand there, not afraid
No feeling-just emptiness
Alive im told -such a surprise
I should be thankful that I didn’t die
What if I did it

I Can't Win
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019

Left pondering on my own since words I hear are mixed
So brilliant you are!
Thanks
Try here and here

I Close The Shades
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
I close the shades, but wait
The lightshow starts at 1
Music comes in at 2
At 3 is the buffet. Chalk full of great dishes
Full and tired I doze off
Time to rest

Visitors
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
Daily I am visited
Knocking on my door, wanting to come in
Sometimes I let them in; sometimes they just walk right in
As I heard the knocking I was getting ready to meet them
While I opened the door an unexpected face is there
Reminding me why I am here.
Let me know what you think. Say anything

A New Start
Carlos Iglesias Sep 2019
Found my peace after twelve years
A life I will not get back but now I can move on
Anger, regret, have no hold on me
Today I start anew
For now I know what I am
True bless and feel hard to describe
Solace in the fact that I must die
And begin anew.
To recognize fully what one needs to do.

Flashback
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
A girl walking through tired and gloomy
While I am high and tidy
Worrying about electronics
While she worries about feeding her family
Looking in her direction remembrance  of the past
Reminding  me that nothing really last.
Say anything, let me know what you think.

Here We Go Again
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
I climb up again
To walk the tight rope
But I am prepared
I got, Fluffy pillows, Mattresses from God, and a bar
Frightened as I walk
I go half way, But I fall
Onto the soft ground of relief

My Little Hole
Carlos Iglesias Jun 2019
I’ve learned how to make a hole great.
Cooler and entertainment system.
A tiered step system for when I want to see the sun rise.
To see the sun shine on my face and to dream.
Of making it to the moon and fulfilling all of my outer space.

Lets Begin
Carlos Iglesias Feb 2020
Why should I tell you?
Would you care?
Would you help?
What would you do?
Afraid of the cold shoulder or a negative impact
For which it would break me in two
I cannot take it from you
I have experience in taking in the damage not known
A soul conflicted of what to do
Why I don’t tell you
Is to save us all together
Attempts to talk only over shadowed by my own self-doubt and fear.

Dawn on the Swamp
Carlos Iglesias Feb 2020
Examining the swamp
Dense fog and uneven mud
Whispers fill the wind of thoughts I should say
Examining the dawn
Ray of light paves the way
Of what I am truly meant to say
Although both speak true, I cannot seem to speak
As the mud passes over my feet and drowns in any sense of escape
How I truly mean to say I love you
But remain so far away.
When to talk about your problems you are stuck in daily.

Eternal Crypt
Carlos Iglesias Feb 2020
Trapped in a crypt
Only light is a blemish of fire
Making my way through this maze
With the hope of fire giving me the glaze
To see my way through

I stumble upon these puzzles
Many on the wall
Making sense of them
May help my will to escape

On and on I go
Figuring this as I Go
The glimmer of hope guiding me
Finding the solutions I seek

I solve one and leads me down the path
The fire grows as I get closer to the end
Finally the maze has provided me an answer
Many still need answering, but I can escape

At the entrance all I see is light
I made it
Lights get brighter and brighter as it becomes blinding
I tumble back down in the maze
But have no way to see
As if the light took its source and fled
Lying me there wishing I was dead

On and on I go
Wishing for my soul for peace
Still figuring this out as I go
No hope guiding me now.
When you think you are on the right path, only to be left in disarray.
Carlos Iglesias Apr 2023
I don’t think I can be a loser anymore. Aspirations and dreams are just a carrot on a stick in front of my gullible face.  Money, health, wisdom and worth, are all shot. Love is just now lust.  Everyday is a battle tarnishing my brain with delusion and grandeur.  I don’t think I can take it anymore. The worm has spread. Burrowed through decades of hate and disgust, self-loathing and anger. Medication does not help, only deteriorates the burrowing for a couple of months. The worm still moves forward without any hesitation or remembrance of anything stopping it. It just keeps moving.  

It’s probably why I feel cold all the time now. The dark trail, flexible like a shadow, contours and covers my entire brain, changing memories to have a twisted taint coat add a glimmer of despair. My words are short and bitter. No patience to haggle over minor details or to listen to the greener than ever before envy.  

Tried looking for an escape and just couldn’t find one. Hours upon hours of endlessly looking for an inch, finding a deficit. Maybe that is the worm talking. There are those who love me but that just adds to the great fire of it all. Withering away so badly my visage is flailing, fighting more than me, to maintain its composure.

Even now typing this, just right clicking to find what is right, how I should write. Staring into nothingness scrolling on. My hope and dreams are gone. Will I move on? Before the worm is done?

— The End —
