Miss Daytona
Time to forgo the idyllic promises
Of love and its crimson garden
Avow at last for anarchic solitude
That leaves me craving,
but never starving.

I want my heart broken into a mllion pieces.
A whole heart is good for health, but bad for life.

I want it broken to build it again,
to find out how it works.
I have sat under too many cherry trees,
waiting for blossoms to fall on me;
I've had enough of yearnings.

It's a little bit funny to want something like this,
I know,
but what can I do?

I've just met you
and I want to give you my better heart,
cause you've already made me
a better man.

Love and time made me the man I am today;
still don't know to which of the two I should blame more.
I found myself writing this poem as soon as you left.
I wrote it while contemplating the possibility of walking on the moon
and drawing flowers on its sand.

I must admit I am enchanted by your beauty.
There's something really peculiar about your smile,
your laughter and the looks you give under your glasses.
It's like black magic for my heart.
I've never been so scared to see someone go,
even if it's only for a moment.

I'm not saying I'm in love with you,
I'm old enough to know how to hide that feeling,
but I would love it if you let me follow you down.
There's so much I wish to know about you;
for example: if you like flowers drawn on the surface of the moon.
This is a poem for a woman I'm falling for. She's just marvelous! <3

You take the pieces of your broken heart and you build a future with them.

At first, you won't know you're building it, but it will become clear when the time is right.

When we went to church
my grandma used to say
"Pray for the one next to you,
ask for his prayers to come true"

"But, grandma" I once asked her
"Why can't we ask for things for ourselves?"

"Because that's what prayer should be,"
she answered graciously
"ask for the safety of others,
for them to get home safe,
for them to never be hungry,
ask for God to love all of his children.

We can get by,
but you never know if others can too."

Blood of a poet dripping from me.
*** and magic feeding my dreams.

I used to write poems for lovers,
Now I write poems for love.

Life is written in verse;
every line has its rhyming pair.

From chaos comes chaos,
Heartbeat brings heartbeat.

There's no heart or soul that's truly alone,
There's an incomplete poem,

And every poem finds its ending,
it doesn't matter if it's masculine or feminine.

A line, a rhyme.
You'd be surprised by what you rhyme with.

I keep dreaming I am a flower,
the wind takes away my petals
during a storm; I die at the end,
but it's fine. I'm part of the air now.

I should stop sleeping in my garden.
I keep waking up with roses on my eyes,
lilacs on my mouth,
cherry blossoms in my blood.

I think you're just wonderful,
you make love the way spring feels.
You're so warm and so wild.
Wish we could lay here forever.

Let ourselves go away
and leave daisies behind.
Let the world worry about its violence without us,
We are in peace, in love, in the garden,
counting clouds and petals.
