SoVi - Hello Poetry

SoVi Oct 2019

Blue

Opened like a door
Letting strange people through

Closed the door when it was me
Had me standing feeling so blue

Decided to knock and wait
Shadow of me waiting for a blue moon

Did not hear you sneaking
Under the moon, through the back door

Why did I go to this party?
Knowing you were going to appear

Why did it have to be you?
On the dance floor under the blue light

Realizing I have no right to cry
The reason this pain stays is me

Easier to blame you
For something I allowed to hurt

Decided to leave out of the blue
Since I am just so done feeling sorry

Te Quiero Pero No Tanto

Yo quiero dormir aqui
Sin tus bracos apretando me

Yo quiero morir aqui
Y encontrar un cofre de tesoro

Yo quiero descansar en tu cuerpo
Pero no quiero abrasos o besos

Yo quiero acostar aqui
Sin condiciones de afeccion

Lust

I am

Waiting

In earnest

To see what comes next

I am

Entrenched

Almost rigid

As the urge rises

I am

Uncertain

Desperately seeking

Yet, I see no end to where I am

I am

Luckily lucky

Forevermore grateful

Her body’s poetry keeps me grounded

I am

Yet,

Stronger

Slowly smiles

You think I could be the one

I am

Imperfectly perfect

Yet,

I am

bright and warm like the sun in the sky
In your eyes

I am

Joyful

Sunlight beaming

You beautifully brighten up my day

I am

Still

Quietly reflects

On our special moment

From time to time

I am

Refreshed

Eagerly awaits

To move forward once more you asked

I am

But,

Exactly

Who and where

I am supposed to be

I am

In her tight embrace, in love

A bond that cannot chip away nor be described
In simple words

Darling

I am

Loved

Sweet Bird

Tell me.

Why do you sing?
Does it not get tiring
Singing to nobody?

You just keep on flying
Straight through the desert
Straight into Midnight

I can still see you
I sadly still hear you
Perched on my windowsill

Let's just make one thing clear
I am not torturing you
I am not the cruel one

Do you think your music soothes me?
I prefer the silence
To your screeches of anguish

Do you think anyone appreciates
Birds that sing by windows
When one wants to be alone?

You just keep on singing
Why do you hate me?
Why do you not leave me?

Tell me.

Might Be Sleeping

Sometimes When You
Stand
                You
                             Fall
                                               Asleep.

In the Morning
With Coffee
You Stay
Awake.

Eyes Begin
To Slowly
Close
On
Their
Own.

You Might Be Sleeping
Without a Care.

Make Sure You Bring
A Blanket at Least.

I Don't Know You

I want to take a ride with you
I want to take a ride away from you
I wanted to escape this life
But now with you, I start to cry

I want to take a taxi away from here
But then my arms get heavy
My heart is out of place

I want to take an airplane into the sky
But my lungs they constrict
Behind eyelids stars shine

I decide to take a taxi with you
But my feet stay in place
I call out for my mommy

Why can I not escape this life?
I said that I will be long gone
Now I am stuck inside four walls
I shake and cry when I have to step out

I wanted to take a ride with you
I saw you as an escape, its true
I never really loved you for you
You were just an ending, not the goal

Devotion not Affection

I count the petals that fall from the sky
Walking on leaves that are making sound
Humming a song between you and me
Submerged in wine, it is hard to breathe

Yellow paper tulips I leave behind
Storybooks you crafted by your hands
Mother's red dress found in pieces
Shredded up papers of your words

I wish for once you will listen
See that I am imperfect
Hear me as I start to scream
Save me before I drown in wine

You hate yourself for what you did
I know you felt the pain of my death
Just know that even after all of this
I will choose to be your daughter again
