Just Friends but!
Ricardo Diaz May 21
Canceled all my other plans
had conversations with nothing but our eyes

I hear your name and forget to concentrate
I call you in the middle of the night
Can't even tell you why,
Just felt like sayin 'Hi'

You fidget with your keys
Constantly glancing over your shoulder
With every glance pulling me further into something vast
The deep moisture in your eyes
Something inescapable
Finding reasons not to leave

Riding extra slow
Take the long way home
Get a little too close
Almost said ' I LOVE YOU'
Tryin' to hide the chemistry

Got drunk somewhere and talked about the future with you in it.
Getting chills with every accidental touch

Convincing myself there's nothing
One look into your eyes
And God! There's something

But hey,
We're just friends.

In
Summer ,  
Before the fall
Into resolve
Time has healed.

Chin up
Shoulders back
Powerful stride

YOU!
Have been found
A reply to a friend

Once I loved a flower so much
that instead of picking it,
I left it alone.

My eyes refused to watch her leave
So my tears came to blur my vision

How am I supposed to act like I don't care,
Like you didn't just leave a hole I'm my chest.

This sinking feeling that I'll never see you again
A stranger turned to a lover and back to a stranger

Your name still echoes in the sounds of June
Like an unfinished song under the moon

We laugh like lovers, touch like the breeze
And call it friendship, just to keep the peace

In the story of my life, you're the sweetest line
With a bond like ours, even time couldn't redefine.

And so ...
I write you in poems you'll never read
Loving you softly, with a heart that bleeds.

Basically, I miss you
Ricardo Diaz Jun 29
The need for you consumes me,
My soul claws it's way up my chest
Aching to be yours.

This longing beats inside me like a second heart.

You are the verse I dare to write, yet dream nightly to read aloud.

You are the bane of my existence and the object of my desires.

Your eyes were oceans,
For a moment,
Air was no longer what I needed.

Come closer
Even if it kills me.

I trace the silence you leave behind like it's a map leading me back to something I was never ment to have . Yet, my soul leans towards you, every time , as if .... As if it knows where it belongs.

So as long as you're happy...
Don't worry about me.
I'll figure it out,
I always do.

I want to marry you.
Not in the way it's so common these days, I mean marry as in;
I will care about everything,
the good things, the bad things,
the terrible things, the mundane things all of it, every hour, every minute, every second, of every day.
I'm saying your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
I'm saying your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.  
Eden or Armageddon do us part.
Untill our hugs take us to an infinite.
Untill the lining of your throat memorizes every vein,
Unit my tongue knows only the taste of your trembling lips.
I will tear down every wall between us be it gold of silver,
Be it Man , Woman or Beast alike.
The pain of losing is awakened a hunger
I will pry you from the family that's not me and make you mine.
Think I'm delusional?

(with absolute resolve and silent anger)
I  WILL BE YOUR WITNESS.

TRY ME!

My   soul  is   I-ridescent
                        L-est impassioned I be
Whispered a Y-awn,
                        S-ound, peaceful.
Part 2

She's flying away
For good this time
Fells like we only just met.

You make heaven seem so dull
With your beautiful laugh
and tumeric juice.

You were never mine to lose,
Yet I lost you nun the less.

Entangled forever,  
until the tides forget to pull us apart.  

You soundly touched my soul,
And left no finger prints

We said goodbye,  
I wished you well.  
You said  It's just words.  

I knew That was the last time  
I calmed your flames.  

My deep blue waters are void again.

I wait at the lobby of your old apartment.
Just to remember how it felt to drop you off.

Riding in the rain seems a lot less fun.
Walks in the park a lot less nice.
And songs in the dark a lot less paradise.

I love you gently,
The only way I was allowed to.

I really hope you don't read this poem.
So we can stay goodbye.

Knowing you,
you'll have another one of your
Gut feelings and just know I do.

You're actually gone aren't you?
A season in time
The rose I threw into the wind blossomed into a field full of them.
The ghost of you still drapes itself over my hear.
Seeing you today fed not only my eyes, but ensnared my soul.
The sight of you was verily breathtaking, as if air itself conspired to remind me of your awe.
Ricardo Diaz Jun 9
Once apon a time so gentle,
Watched sunrises as the birds sang good morning

Then broken in disillusionment,
became a dangerous weapon

Nothing can be gained without loss,
Even the celestial gates demand the reapers sickle.

He who seeks peace
Must face chaos

I know not what scares me more.
To see you once more,
Or never again.

I tremble at the choice unseen
To embrace the risk of once more
Or brace for impact on never again.

I'm not saying I did nothing wrong.
But now I'm doing it right
That's all I'm saying.

Nobody can throw my past in my face
I'll tell you all about it
start to finish
No shame

I engraved the darkness on my skin
Wore it like armour .

So maybe sit down,
Take notes.

To hell with what we used to be.
Now we are, what we need to be.

Listen, like advice whispered
From your most unethical friend
With a voice laced with sin
To validate your wicked desires.
Unapologetically

Eu anseio por voce
Ricardo Diaz Jun 29
Eu te quero, wouldn't cut it.
Então, eu preciso de você, tried to.
Mas tudo o que eu conseguia fazer era desejar sua existência.
Eu te quero com toda a minha sede
Eu te desejo loucamente
Não quero pegar leve esta noite.
Quero você de joelhos, olhos brilhantes, boca cheia.
Quero você engasgando com cada centímetro até seus lábios incharem e seus pensamentos desaparecerem.
Espere só.
Mantenha seus óculos.
E então eu vou te dobrar e fazer você esquecer como falar.
Chega de Google Tradutor
Quero te deixar meu coracao para tudo tempo de meu vida.

A hi buleni.
É a nossa língua, então vamos conversar.
Talvez você queira falar em Changana.
By the heavens above, thou art a masterpiece of creation
Thy beauty does not merely persuade the eye,
it insnares the soul, drawing forth sighs from even the most stoic of hearts.
Verily, thy presence alone draws such pleasure to the galaxy, shining light to even the darkest corners of the cosmo's , as if all the stars themselves have chosen to dwell within thee.
Nay! such pleasure should be blasphemy,  
yet here thou standeth , defying all reason
Surpassing all mortal comprehension,
Truly thou art splender of creation, the mere thought of you leaves me breathless,
as if air conspired to remind me of thy power.
There is valour in leaving a spark in the unknown.
