What else could we do but pray to God?
How could I explain them the shivers that i fought?

Time and tide wait for none,
A truth so cruel,built with fun

What else could we do but accept our fate?
Will we be able to look back , when we, are finally late?

Slowly floating towards boundless, a place so dark
I wish i could end the act, without leaving behind a mark

A small little flower,that was bloomed, in an unknown place
Stared all day, towards the vast sky, for just a little trace

Staring towards the endless horizon , as if there was any life
Maybe it was waiting to shine like a meteorite

A universe so vast, countless galaxies,
Yet it thought, it was big , like an algea under the seas

Suddenly, the sky, began to shatter
The flower wished, if it could finish the letter

The eyes, began to open ,slowly with pains
A little boy found himself,  in a garden of gains

A little flower bloomed , just beside a drain
He saw it and thought he finally could, leave the train..
Just staring at this rain sparks a boundless space of thoughts
Let it all out, even little by little,something that was locked out, that you sought

Let it be a pen or let be a brush
Let be a pencil or let it be some crush

At the end of all the place will fall
The place will fall when the time will call

Let it be words or let it be an art
As we lay down on a horseless cart

An endless pit with a place to fit
The choice of none as the rule was done

A mourning joy, a meaningless pleasure
A rain that forever was an unpriced treasure
A fenced suburban dream
where we raised hyacinths,
and you had a faint smile
under the July sun,
under your cowboy hat.

Breath seeps from me
as I lay on the wet tile,
thinking of you.

Someday, I swear,
we can do everything we want to.
And we can pet the crocodiles.

Every day I think of
untwisting and untangling
these strings I’m in.

Every day I think
of taking your hand
and slaying all who stand in my way.

All these thoughts
have led me
to this cul-de-sac.
Smiling at you,
your eyes lowered,
stitched to your shoes,
while your lips invite me,
already aware
of what moves inside me.

I unfasten you
with the slow flutter
of my lashes,
peeling you open
breath by breath,
learning the shape
of your desire
as if it were my own.
stomped out
bonfire
cleaved lips
soft kisses
bruises
with hickeys
kissing you better
tips of my fingers
tracing
my suffering onto you
your skin a map
I long for home
walking along
the shorelines of the abyss —
the corals are charcoal,
and the sand is coarse.
hand in hand with cacti —
your thorny grip reaches deep
as I mark my steps,
pollinating the sand beneath;
looking around for seashells,
and hearing their voice —
their echoes cry tales of voyages
and love lost,
of deserted sailors
and meandered lovers.
your lips are dry,
and your hair is tangled —
it looks like it'd hurt
to kiss you.
why do I miss you when you weren't even here
Like children,
we chased each other around this life —
a game of hide and seek.

Catching each other’s glimpses
in corridors and daydreams,
your smile kept me chasing,
and your voice kept me lucid.

You hid, and hid,
so I would seek you out;
and when I unraveled the curtain,
you weren’t there.

The promises we made
now live on as echoes in the dust.
The walls are my witness,
and the bruises are my alibi.
Clear pool turns
white

and browns at the
edges

as the yoke starts to
harden

and butter
sizzles and pops

scattering drops
some

do somersaults
while some

fall to their demise
surreptitious

or otherwise

it's the mind's  attempt
to give shape

to a panful of
nonsense
Infinite complacency
Unchecked technology
What needs to be
Is what will be
Aerial warfare
To the fore
He died
A year after Hiroshima
Must have broke his heart
To be so right.
I was just a misspelled word
you so easily erased
from the notebook of your life.

                  
Now,
how do I ever erase you —
the most beautiful poem of my heart?
