Spirit
ManoelO Aug 2018
When besieged by the
sweeping tides of time

The evanescent of your presence
Has been preserved
In the fortitude
Of my mind
And begins to bloom in
The moment of ecstasies

I have savoured
The sweetness
Of you

That the tongue
Whispers
Unto unknown realms

That I may
****** destiny
To surrender
Her will

To the
Dawning
Of new
Beginnings

****** distresses
Insatiably

Only you
Can satisfy
The primal
Urges

Which you have
Inflicted
Upon me

Shackled
To the arrest
Of your
Seductive allures

Slave to your
Sensual pleasures
Prisoner to my
Ambitions

To be the
Utmost of your
Sensuous
Pursuits.

Desire
ManoelO Mar 2016
Our eyes tell tales of our curiosity
on how it would feel
to be skin to skin
lips to lips
to submit to each other
to tease each other
playing with our desires
till we fill the room
with echoes of moans



And finally the exhale of
satisfaction.

Wanderlust
ManoelO Jun 2015
I, yearn for adventure
however the cost of it is too high
the cost of relationships
the cost of responsibilities
and the wasting away of the pounds
I've traded in for my life clock
I've restored to cheaper forms of adventure;
The ****
The coke
The ecstasy
The alcohol
The acid
The women
give a sense of escape
from the ordinary
repetitive life of a 9 to 5
zombie.

Jigsaw
ManoelO Jun 2015
Lost in spontaneous emotion
deciphering each emotion
that surface's
assembling the jigsaw of
self.

Ivory
ManoelO Apr 2017
Open Eyes
But I reside in my mind
Your beauty, truly divine
My dreams are of a different kind
This vulnerable heart of mine
Treasured memories of mine

Distant Lovers
ManoelO Dec 2015
Invisible ties or an accidental encounter
Digital letters and emojis sent to express what is inexpressible
The distance empowers the flame
And a inferno
Is born from your
Absence.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES.
ManoelO Nov 2017
Strayed from lover sight
And buried a treasure  
In the grains of my repressed memories
As I retreat from the treacherous lands
Still, she enchants the clouds
Subdued Poseidon
And commands the waves
To blow a mortal man to shore
To engender the emotion of lust
To weaken my lover ardor.

Muse
ManoelO Jul 2018
Floating through 
The elusiveness 
Of you 

A poor imitation 

I have conjured
and entangled in
these passages 

To experience you 
unutterable

A breath of 
desire in 
my interlude 
from you. 

As I try to
Grasp the
Clouds and stars
Of you

In my mind.

Seduced
ManoelO Jun 2017
Her loyal minion
At play
Unguarded
As I fell upon
Her gaze

Cupid silent
Bow & arrow
Pierced the
Depths of my
Solitude

Her taste
Her aroma
Still lingers
In the crevice
Of my mind

The lively colours
Of our union
Which lurks
In the darkest
Nights.

Day & Night
ManoelO Apr 2017
When the circus of the world stops
And night falls
The longing for you
Consumes me
I do not restrain
I dive into the depths
Of my fantasy
And happiness is bestowed upon me.

The sun rises
And the mirage of you is washed away
And the circus continues



Patiently I wait for night fall.

Drinkin'
ManoelO Mar 2019
Savour the taste
Restore a
Childhood
Lightness
That has
Been lost

Abandon your
Inner inhibitions
&
Gracefully float
In the
Swimming pool
Of liquor.

The End.
ManoelO Nov 2017
Love rises from the firey
Basement of the soul
And soars the infinite skies
Of possibilities

But this love ashes
fall from clouded
Forgiveness
And clogs the heart
Of bitter memories

The Phoneix of love
Descents
From the heavens
And plunges
Into jeopardy.

Commited
ManoelO Jul 2018
Our carnal delights are kept at bay

By our
Earthly commitments
but in subtle caresses
the dormant desires
Breaths from the
suffocation of
Our obligations.

Our eyes were
Windows to our
Imaginations

Violently
We resisted all
Temptations  

Till we departed and our
Dreams stroked
Passions frustrated

And we awoke
With a thirst
For Sensations.

Laughter can be the cure
but also the mask of the unhappy

Death Bed
ManoelO Jun 2015
The needle marks sketches,
the trail of my depression.
As I load the needle to
inject into this lifeless body
I'm left with questions.

Did I ever have meaning to someones life;
Will my friends mourn me or
will they tell their kids about the
memories we've shared
so I may live on in
a fragment of a child mind
a chance I never gave to my own
seeds.

Untitled 2
ManoelO Jun 2017
Scattered thoughts to capture the
                     Ineffable emotion
              The lively colors
Of the temple
                         Within
Infinite
            Yet clothed in aging skin  
To speak of it seems
                                 Treacherous
A selfish desire to express its
                                 Fluidity
                               Eloquence
In the entanglement of these words
For when I have become shaken
May I visit upon these words
And indulge myself
For what it was
To be a
         Guest of
Divine omniscience

Impatientness
ManoelO Jun 2017
As we kiss
Biting on your bottom lip
Eagerly awaiting
Sensual
Bliss

Sealed your fate
With one kiss

Pleasure amounts
Floods at the fortress

Sultry voice whispers
"I've been waiting for this"

ManoelO Mar 2016
Uninspired.
Numb to the substances
how dull a sober mind can be
longing to escape my reality
and form words together
to transform this cocoon of life
into a butterfly.

Soul's Calling
ManoelO Nov 2017
The spirit enclosed in my flesh
As inflicted a longing that cannot
Be satisfied in the embrace of others
Riddled emotion as the guide
And dreams the mirage

Reality the voyage of a mortal man
Anchored by commitments
But to endure defeat is to
Embody
Death.

Genesis
ManoelO Oct 2017
May I be engulfed into my mind
Escape these flesh and bone
And the ******* of time
And be an immortal being
Of my domain
Meddle on the memories
Of her
Constellation of stars
In the night sky
Of her image
So lost travellers may see
The compass of hope

Let her selfless love
Scorch like the sun
And radiate through the plains
So I may relive the intensity of her touch
Let the moon speak of her momentary absence

A mere fragment
Of my world
Where I try to
Capture her
Essence.
What If God is two lovers;
Like the Sun To the Moon
Like Death To Life
Like Love To Hate
To continually express their love
through infinite time & space

Old Flames
ManoelO Jun 2015
The word love
was mentioned again
and your name
was dusted off
the shelves of lost loves
and I contemplate
on what could have been.

Soul Ties
ManoelO Nov 2017
Absent from each other touch but not in mind,
Where truly time is infinite and only voice to
Excite the imagination and passion
I've placed into the union of our souls
Which dances to the dedication of love.

The song may dwindle but never fades.
My mind still placed on your lips
My eyes still gazed into yours,
As I wish to see my being through your eyes.

"Missing You"
ManoelO Nov 2017
How many times
I've said those lines
Countless of times
But you're  not mine
An innocent crime
Prisoner of mine
Your presence
Cannot escape
Between these
Lines.

Love Age
ManoelO Nov 2017
Confined within our own love
Devoured us
While in our youth
The hours
The minutes
The seconds
The years
Passed
The beauty of age displayed
Portrait of wrinkled flesh
A lover museum

The journey of love
Through expressions.

Loop
ManoelO Nov 2017
In a self-constructed loop
Within the swoop of 9 to 5
So much to lose
just to feel
Alive
Said I'll break free so many times
Peak through the lines
And see my lies
I only find the courage to
Write about it
Between
These
Lines.
