Pick up, I got a lot to say

Drowning Fisherman
SoVi Mar 2018
I want to go to the "Land of All"
But oceans keep us apart
On a Petrol-stained sailboat
I'll make my journey to reach you

"Believe in Flashing Stars;
A new horizon in the limelight"
Makes me want to go explore!
Trapped: I can't go home.

Rivers: overflowing dreams.
Cast my line to catch my fame
Hook, Line, Sinker
I became the bait.

If I am going to drown
Might as well go up in flames.
Rivers cast me off,
Now I am a cast-away.

Close my eyes tight
Hide from flickering lights.
The tide recedes
No longer blind.

Stuck on my wooden shore,
Arms outstretched, grasping dreams
Ocean rise, lights floating.
Deadbeats slowly sinking.

Bubbles floating to the top
Before freedom, they pop.
Tried to find the "Land of All".
But they denied me entry.

Amor Perdadero
SoVi Sep 2019
Amor que es tu prisa
Diga me la verdad
De todo mis amores
Tu eres la unica

Diga me porque te vas
De mi lado
Diga me porque
No me quieres

Amor te fuistes
Amor perdadero
Me dejastes solo
A qui estoy amando te

A qui estoy llorando
Voy gritando
Por la calle bailando
A qui estoy amando te

Amor te fuistes
Amor perdadero
Te quise amarte
Pero tu me dejastes

The Conjurer's Knowledge
SoVi May 2018
You are an ocean of pain.
Blessings and thoughts rush and become a river stream
Flowing into time as they fade into nothingness of life.
Light's outstretched hand trying to illuminate the corners of my mind
But they forgot how much I love the darkness's tranquility.

Join inside my soul and exhale into my breaths.
Try to not pray, your words will become a weapon
Instead mutter promises you cannot dream to ever keep.
That is the safest option when you are living inside reality.

You are an ocean of aches.
Preaching words that convert and blind like sunbeams.
These tides of time never change, instead just adding more strife
And eventually will cause your disciples to go blind.
But my own imagination protects me against your volatility.

Unmoving on the sidewalk, I appear like death
But my ego is hectic inside its confines, not seen in my expression.
If you would like to escape just fall into sleep.
Ignore all the chastising words and be carefree.

Take Me Somewhere
SoVi Sep 2018
Every day is like an aircraft
Flying into my dreams
But then they fall apart
No aspirations to fuel them

Try to be happy

Is it like photographs
Stained and wrinkly
Memories that don't last
Yet they are lovely

What was that for?

Sounds like waterfalls
Yet not as soothing
Wish I could feel their mist
But then it'll melt me

Take Me Somewhere
Somewhere Nice
Nice place to die

they take
too long to finish their trip

many names with no importance

many people
working hard to make it

I wish they win

Man by the Sea
SoVi Apr 2018
I don’t understand why I end up by the sea
Memories of the past continue to haunt my dreams
Living beside the people who comfort me
But every day I return to the beach waiting there
Regrets I hold in my heart don’t let me sleep
Wish I could see you one more time to apologize
But I realize that it too late to reconcile
Your my lover lost at sea and I moved on from here

Memories of your love fade away like ocean tides

Consciencia
Gritando y Preguntando
En la madrugada

Como gallos del campo
Cantando sus Canciones
Para despertar

Con ojos medio abiertos
Palabras pegadas en mi lengua

No tengo respuesta
Para tu confesion
De admiracion

Es que estoy muy joven para esto
Relaciones y compromisos
Todavía tengo el corazón
De un niña sin preocupaciones

Perdoname por ser sincera
Pero no quiero estar contigo
Me gusta estar soltera

No quiero ser intima
Mejor deja la idea

Rely On...
SoVi Mar 2020
Want to rely on
Someone I like
To lean on

A tidal wave of emotions
Coming over me
Feeling like a deportee

The situation
I found myself in
Lost and dehydrated

I'm the unwilling victim
You act so cool with me
Then change your words

Don't want to break
Your trust in me
But you made me

You showed me
Your not someone
To rely on

Blood Water
SoVi Jun 2018
Floating aimlessly in the water
Hair branching off from my head
Eyes clouded by my tears
Cheeks puffed out to breath
Blouse flowing around me

Clenched eyes are forced open
All around me, goldfish swim
Scales reflect refracted light
Moving around my hair
Using it as if it were seaweed

Colors flow into existence
Oranges and yellow open into view
No longer just black or blue
But warm colors that suffocate
With the blood flowing from me

She tries to drag me to the bottom
Smother and hide me against rocks
but I struggle against her confines
And as the fish scatter to take refuge
I open my mouth for a gasp of freedom.

Yo senti el miedo
Del mundo callendo
De mi pie quemandose
Mi madre en el suelo
Su pecho destrozado
Queriendo respirar
Corriendo en la casa
Quise alcanzar la puerta
Pero me queme mi mano
La figura de Cristo
Guardado en mi pescueso
Quemando mi piel
Arrastrandome en el pizo
Extendiendo mi brazos
Mirando el lumbre's luz
Contra la sombra del cruz

Costa de mi Futuro
SoVi Apr 2018
Quien soy yo además de areana gastada?
Sin rumbo flotando sin un propósito.
No mas recuerdo el océano y todo su dolor.
Ni se como me miro llo.

Las mareas retroceden de su lugar
Y me deja expuesto al luz del sol.
Rocas preciosas varados en la orilla de la costa
Brillando se rejunta y se unen conmigo.

Corrientes de recuerdos se apresuran a mi mente
Alimentando el agua de mi alma.
Rompiendo la presa que retiene todas mis emociones
Haciendo sentir todo la humanidad.

Arrastrandome con la mitad del miembro formado
Siento un dolor que filtra desde mis huesos.
Pero no lo rechazó con lágrimas
En cambio, lo acepto con una sonrisa acuosa.

El océano quiere detenerme
Escóndeme en las profundidades de mi desesperación.
Chupando el calor de toda mi alegría
Quitando mi voluntad de vivir.

Pero la luna retiene el océano con su fuerza
Protegiéndome de la oscuridad de mi mente.
En lugar de excluirse por mis pecados
Me ama por mis defectos.

El universo abre sus brazos para darme un hogar
Dando me un santuario para escapar todo el dolor.
Aunque quiero perderme en la nada del espacio
Debo vivir en el mundo en el que pasado se enamoró.

Estrellas y galaxias que brillan en la oscuridad
Me dan razon para seguir viviendo en este cruel mundo.

SoVi Apr 2018
Who am I besides spent sand?
Without a course floating without a purpose.
I only remember the ocean and all its pain.
I do not know how I look anymore.

The tides recede from their place
And it leaves me exposed to sunlight.
Lovely rocks stranded on the shore of the coast
Shining, they group up and join me.

Streams of memories rush to my mind
Feeding the water of my soul.
Breaking the dam that holds all my emotions
Making me feel my humanity.

Dragging myself with half-formed body
I feel a pain that filters from my bones.
But I do not reject it with tears
Instead, I accept it with a watery smile.

The ocean wants to stop me
Hide me in the depths of my despair.
******* the heat of all my joy
Removing my will to live.

But the moon retains the ocean with its force
Protecting myself from the darkness of my mind.
Instead of being excluded from my sins
The moon loves me for my faults.

The universe opens its arms to give me a home
Giving me a sanctuary to escape all the pain.
Although I want to get lost in the nothingness of space
I must live in the world in which the past me fell in love with.

Stars and galaxies that shine in the dark
They give me a reason to continue living in this cruel world.

Me and My Morbidness
SoVi Apr 2018
I always thrived on affection
But I have a taste for destruction.
Wonder how it’ll feel to suddenly die
But sadly for me, I enjoy feeling alive.

The taste of blood in my mouth
But I don’t like the pain from a punch.
If I could bypass I’ll find another way to ding it
The feeling of emotion from another person’s actions.

Self-preservation is lacking
For my mother’s health, I’m trying.
Stopping my Ego from killing itself
Even though after death I’ll like to see hell.

It’s not that I am suicidal
But thoughts are running wild.
Fascination with the concept of death
Cause no ones loves it enough to comprehend.

Abismo de mi Presente
SoVi Apr 2018
En la oscuridad claro estoy sola
Única luz que hay son memorias.

Mi cuerpo nomas sabe el frío
En el trinchera nomas hay muerte.
Pero todavía estoy viva
Con mi corazón moviendo lentamente.

La ocean se va y me separa de mis sueños
Dejándome en este cruel mundo.
Cuando quise recordar el pasado
Siento un dolor en mi cabeza que me hace llorar.

No más quiero saber como nadar
Y poder salvarme de estas tinieblas.
Porque se que nadie va venir a sacarme
Me pregunto si realmente alguna vez importé.

Pensamientos suicidas me deja hundir
Tocando el califa al fondo del mar.
Pero no me sofoca la agua
Mi convicción aguante el respiracion.

La superficie del mar esta arriba
Playas afuera de mi alcanzo.
Ni puedo estirar mi manos en esperanza
Se quiebran con el pression de mis errores.

El infierno del mar es el único calor
Abrazando me como un amor perdido.
Calentando me fuertemente
Haciendo me convertir en vidrio.

Pronto el océano me soltara y abandonar
Y criaturas vendrá alrededor de mí a comer.
Lo que me queda de mí se hizo harena
Lla no tengo esperanza a poder regresar al pasado.

Lamento del Naturaleza
SoVi Apr 2018
Invierno, Verano, creando juntos

Cuando viene el frío cubre el mundo
Crea un ilusión de paz en el fondo
El mundo está callado, atrapado en silencio
Latidos de corazones estan mas fuertes

Cuando ella se arrastra desde salas de montañas
Ella trae un viento de calor calentando con su amor

Todo que es bueno y alegre es en ella
Todo que se muere tiene esperanza
Todo que se alivia tiene esperanza
Desde las pasiones del montans

Invierno, Verano, convergiendo juntos

Cuando el invierno se va ella llora
Lluvia de hielo para sentir su abrazo
Cuando el no se ve ella crea flores
Color blanca para imaginar que el esta aqui

El se deja morir para que ella puede vivir tranquila
El se deja que el odio lo consume para que ella tiene amor
Amores que nunca se ve, pero seiten el compasion y el fe

Cuando todo está hecho, esconden entre las montañas
En imágenes vividos, memorias desvanecimiento
Entidades intocables sin límites, pero espiritus debiles
El mundo se desarrolla de ellos pero lo dejan separados

Invierno, Verano, divergiendose

SoVi Apr 2018
In the clear darkness, I'm alone
Only light there is are my memories.

My body only knows the coldness
In the trench, there is only death.
But I'm still alive
With my heart moving slowly.

The ocean goes away and separates me from my dreams
Leaving me in this cruel world.
When I wanted to remember the past
I feel a pain in my head that makes me cry.

I only want to know how to swim
And be able to save myself from this darkness.
Because I know nobody is going to come and get me
I wonder if I ever really mattered.

Suicidal thoughts let me sink
Touching the caliph at the bottom of the sea.
But the water does not suffocate me
My conviction holds my breath.

The surface of the sea is above me
Beaches outside of my reach.
I can not even stretch my hands in hope
They break with the pressure of my mistakes.

The hell of the sea is the only heat
Embracing me like a lost love.
Warming me up strongly
Making me turn into glass.

Soon the ocean will release and leave me
And creatures will come around me to eat.
What I have left of me became sand
I have no hope of being able to return to the past.

Songs of admiration
Eyes that wander
Up and down your face

For once I wish
This wasn't a mistake

I take a breath of air
Let it exhale outwards

Twisting my hair into knots

But they do not escape

Palms are sweating
As I recount
The many things
That I love about you.

Skin
Deep

Touch me once again
Make me feel alive
Before I lose myself

There's no point in trying
If I can't feel myself
Human or not
The texture is not the same

Can't get up
                     Can't get up
                                         Can't get up
                                                              ­Get away from this dream
                                               Won't give up
                        Won't give up
Won't give up

Won't fall at the seams
As my skin falls apart
Softness reveals the truth
Sticky bleeding wound

If I tie myself up would you feel the stitches
My flawless skin now permanently blemished

Please don't falter
Tell me I am still soft
Please lie to me
I want to feel the same
I don't want to feel the weight
Of myself becoming nothing

Inside I am pink and delicate
I don't want to fall apart

Skin

Don't touch me friend
I am too afraid I'll bleed
I am just too fragile
Like shattered glass
End up hurting myself instead

I know,
That the world is really incredible
With colors that shine in the sky
That change vibrancy and frequency.

I can see,
That the world changes its surface
From flowers to pure white
Transform the land to valleys and mountains.

I understand,
That nothing will stay forever
The world goes turns and turns
Movement that changes the scene.

But understand,
That nothing really ends
I become land and create new life
We continue with smiles that the world will see.

You know,
Are you afraid of no longer being human
But do not see it as the end but a beginning
To be part of something more incredible.

Secrets of My Life

There is an ache in my heart.
I wish I could go back in time.

Inverse of colors that remain the same.
Yet the sky still remains in hues of greys.

Do I continue or stop myself?
My soul is indecisive after all.

Not sure if this is right or if it's wrong?
But why do I care if I live or die
Without my soul!

This is the secret of my life
To decide if I can choose
To live or die.

All of these pieces of colors
Intertwine and intermingle
Warp into something more.

Bubbles are forming
As my breath leaves me,
Ripples on the Surface
As I go underneath.

Deep in the Sea

The sand glitters
Pears glistening
Hidden wonders sparkle
Running through my hands.

Deep in the Sea

Blue is no longer blue
Shades of black and purple
Begin to seep through
And confuse my vision.

Deep in the Sea

Calls from creatures
Songs from sirens
Rushing of water
Reverberate inside me.

Deep in the Sea

I lose sense of me
Becoming nothing
Yet still something
As I float aimlessly.

You Will Never Know

After the day is done
And the sun goes down
Lay my heart on the ground
Arms spread wide reaching for you
Eyes closing against the orange glow

You will never know
All this pain
All this sacrifice
That I endure

Hands get raised
Grazing the ceiling
I start to pull it apart
Calling the devil's name
With a smirk saying let's play

You will never know
All this love
All this lust
That I give

Music playing inside
Humming the words
In my skull, I feel the words
Vibrating, causing an achiness
I do it again to feel this pain

You will never know
All this obsession
All this possession
That I control

You will never know
Feel the way I do

Do I know your name?
Don't be shy, I am tame
Have you seen the raven
Flying inside the haze?
Or  the black cat
Walking through the buzz?
Maybe the white wolf
Laying in the alleys?

No, I guess you don't
You don't remember do you?
Don't remember the faces or the places
Of mistaken voices, misplaced memories
Gas-lighting has done a real number on you.

They told me about you
Your little white bunny
You tried to escape me
Wanted to be free
Thought that people
Would hide you from evil
You thought I was that evil, huh.

But a word of advice from a sage conjurer

Don't try to glide through the crowd,
I don't want to see you drown.
I want you to escape
This fool's paradise.

Sorry to interrupt your schedule program but I need to talk with the Mr. and Mrs.
Lead the children out I don’t want to shock them with the truth I am speaking
The world is ending in a couple of minutes by a force of our creation
No point in fighting just try to crying for mercy
Correction no point for begging cause there’s no escaping.

Your parents are wailing but you are all laughing at hands outstretched across the horizon
Maybe you aren’t scared of my image because you have no basis to draw your perceptions
You are still individuals not products of your parents’ dreams and fears
You still have free will, no concept of living, of course, you won’t be afraid of dying
You aren’t affected by my presence since you have yet to be introduced to me
But eventually you’ll fear me, join me, and you’ll be the cause of your child’s undoing.

A secret rises to the surface
And this crimson sweetness that
It has submerged in

Your memories will fester in your mind
Nurture them or they’ll rot away
Leaving an aftertaste inside your head

Don’t listen to the screaming behind your eyes
Or they will chase you down inside your dreamscape

Blood Red Moonshining in the sky
Calling us awake and into the dark

But our solitude will keep us fortitude
From all these dreams and fears
That perpetuate our lives

Pray by your bedside that the night will end
And you’ll finally see the blue.
Hopefully, it’s not an illusion.

If they find out they might lose it
Yell at you and grab you tightly

Wanting for that single moment
When they say its time to end it

Of the world by falling
From my foot burning
My mother on the floor
Her shattered chest
Wanting to breathe
Running in the house

The figure of Christ
Saved around my neck
Burning my skin
Dragging on the floor
Extending my arms
Looking at the flames's light
Against the shadow of the cross

Pieces of me
Drift into the sea
Wanted to built
Into the person I can be
But when I look back
It's like a flashback
Of memories that will no longer last
They melt against the heal of pain

SoVi Jun 2018
Nunca quiero estar
Sola en el espacio
Ojos cerrados o abiertos
Mitad viva o muerto
No se lo que quiero
Quitama la vida
Tapame la boca
Manos sobre mi corazon
Aprieta mas fuerte
No tengas miedo del presente
Cierta te las manos
No te quiero lastimar
Unas me estan cortando
Poco a poco sagrando
Piel rosita a blanco
Haciendo me en nada
Flotando en la galaxia
Cuerpo esta helado
Piel desbarantandose
Ojos no estan brillando
Mi curpo muerto
Convertiendo en cometo
Me exploto en tiempo

Midterms
SoVi Oct 2019
Sitting inside a room
Moving along with sound
Dying to get out
Trying to not fall asleep

People do not notice me
Emotions are rising up
Parts of me are screaming
Going to eventually explode

Exams made me dizzy
You do not understand
Doing all of this leads to tears
So I just cry silently

Nylon - Reprise
SoVi Mar 2020
Faded like a photograph
Don't want you looking at me.

I don't want to die young
Ignore my pleading
Repeat it enough times
Maybe death will pass me.

Stretched thin like nylon
Something that you see as pretty.

No blanket of security
A fog that fills my vision.
Disappear into obscurity
Waiting for recognition.

Rubbed raw by a cat's claw
Watch me as I keep bleeding.

Want someone to rely on
But you keep on evading.
Stare at me, but looked beyond
Feel myself degrading.

Pulled apart like red yarn
Fragments of me missing.

Reached out to caress you
But saw your body was gone,
Tired of this pursuit
Decided to withdraw.

Feelings like a jigsaw
Don't know if I can keep going.

twirling and dancing in the room
following you to end up in your arms
but i can not compete with him or her
sadly i am just slow dancing in the dark

Part of Conflicted Conversations
SoVi Jun 2018
your voice is nagging me as i sleep
bringing in problems that i don't care about
telling me i don't listen and don't talk enough
i raise my voice to say you're the problem but i stop

She
SoVi Nov 2019
She
When dusks sets
Nothing to say
All that is broken
Heals itself

Bonds of ice
She creeps out
Cold horizon
Frozen breaths

All is set
But not quiet
Until it is
No longer

Advancing forward
Into oblivion
Illuminating
She exists
