Dialogue
Cristina Feb 2017
They counted twenty eight
My soul says it’s too much
They speak or cry or shout
Words that I can not dissolve.

I’ve made my peace last week
So proud of myself!
Soon I will be gone
Soon I will die.

My last year with tears
My last months with pain
My last weeks together
My last breaths with soul.

I told her with care
I wrote her forever letters
She read them so fast
While displaying a beautiful smile.

You are not dying
You are so brave…

It doesn’t matter Cris
I died. It happened a long time ago.
My childhood friend D. is going through a hard time, as you all see.

What time is it?
Cristina Feb 2017
What time is it?
She searched the room
Brown and white and almost red
She is a ghost
A body with life, or maybe not.

What time is it?
Whispers are low
Only by paying attention
The words can be heard.

What time is it?
Who will answer?
Walls, carpets and furniture?

What time is it?
I pray God will answer.

What time is it?*
Please give me an answer.

Life
Cristina Feb 2017
if time had fingers
I would braid them with mine
and never undo
this dance we call it
life.

Eyes and tears
Cristina Feb 2017
I so deeply desire
The change to happen now,
To build up a fence
For me to carve in hidden,
Of the world my big surprise
Eyes no more shallow
Eyes that look like mine.

I crave so hard of something
That the pain is my friend
Another thing I desire
For salty water to pause a sec
Shall I scream or run as fast?
There is no point
Salty water flows so much.

Letting go
Cristina Feb 2017
Poems with power impact on life
Lyrics that bring a soul from land of the death
Courage with strength of iron shrouded in gold
And people still cry deep in the twilight.

Dawn is a curse when remember to go
At doctor for a white paper with black letters on,
Recipes written on mega speed
Others don't give a dime if you leave.

I forgive myself from being mean
I forgive you for shouting at me
Forgive and forget and happy move on,
Let the earth spin one more year around the sun.

I am standing still
Cristina Feb 2017
I am standing still while the world is moving
I have nothing to give while my heart is pounding
I am standing still while spying on others
I am standing still crying or laughing.

I am standing still while you dance
I am standing still while people are dying
I am standing still while words are flying
I am standing still to catch lyrics for my poem.

I am standing still when you kiss me good morning
I am standing still when eating nothing
I am standing still and no one is noticing
I am standing still while I am dying.

Too much to care

Too much to endure

sing for the moment
Cristina May 2016
drums of the drummers
cheering of the crowd
notes of piano
and violin
and guitar
makes soul of persons
that stand or dance
to not remember the past
to not see in the future
just to live in now.

birds
Cristina Mar 2016
half the time I listen to birds
twittering about life mystery from all around
they call for help, birds are quick on coming
from tree and trees to join the convent.
birds tweet and tweet,
is there a contest?
oh! let's be honest
birds are just chatting.

a story half told
Cristina Mar 2016
it's a story half told if I let out pain
and play with kind words
only to not relive
a bit of disappoint.

it's a story half told
every time words walk
and halt only to one ear,
what happens to them
is another story half told
for people who ask for more
and receive more then they can hold.

dedicated this year's
Cristina Jan 2016
a new year will come
let's hope for more
passion and compassion
kindness and sweet thoughts,
no more idle nor stubbornness,
just unsuspected powers
to uplift joys that create
a great
new
journey.

people and feelings
Cristina Dec 2015
punctured hearts all over earth
crawling on mountains
of happiness and joy,
sweaty foreheads and hands
and dusty feet
walking nor running
towards the deep -
deep sky
deep oceans
hearts
or thoughts
in front of nothing
or everything or all.

Memories and emotion
Cristina Dec 2015
never seen by wicked eyes
her smile bright that lasted too much
as lily of the valley were
in the beginning of the spring
when little flowers start to bloom
and die slowly in the late fall,
now shadows of twilight on her fair skin
auburn hair braid a side
covers a shoulder remained untouched
by smooth kisses from last night.
Cristina Dec 2015
I've sold my soul to you this month
thinking all the past will be forgot,
instead I've found myself with tears on cheeks
and you looking like a fool at me.
Cristina Dec 2015
unable to tell you my deepest thoughts
for months wondering "is this the worst?"
        do you see how far we fell
is the question that I often say
like a shy weak girl starting to create a song
while we become more apart.

running to you at my best speed
hearing your yell that you're doing the same
hoping that the little fire we managed to create
will not die in the void we started to feel
meanwhile replaying part two of the song
       *until we meet again, my love.

come back to me
Cristina Jul 2015
Come back to me
Find me if you can
I am not lost, I wrote on an envelope
Because there was no paper and no screen to touch.

Come back to me
Find me if you can
I am here, I wrote on the sand
Before the high tide come.

Come back to me
Find me if you can
I’m over the age of young and feel that soon I’ll be gone.

Come back to me
Find me if you can*
I whispered to a leaf
Hoping that the birds will hear.
Come back to me - stick in mind since I've heard them.

sighs
Cristina Jul 2015
There is a pain that strikes the heart
   And all that bleeds from the inside
      Are sighs
          And sighs
              And sighs.

tea and poetry
Cristina May 2015
drinking tea and writing poetry
some to share
some only for my eyes to see
is not a passing breeze of freedom
rummaging through mind's corridors
to keep in check life reality,
is like pure blessing
if you ask me.

something worthy
Cristina May 2015
have a break from poetry
he shouts and chills are spreading
down my spine,
reality is here
I am looking forward to escape it
don't close your **** eyes*
I want my eyes to stay open just to see
and to stay close just to rewire
this reality with some fantasy,
to make it prettier
just a bit.
he continues to shout,
I do not care,
I will always have my poetry.

and wait for the sun to shine above
to see beauty radiating,
it was a love thought after all.

Cristina Apr 2015
collect yourself more fast
don't lose the days of spring that will come,
face the demons one by one
hope for an amalgam of dreams
that will bring no pain, just relief
keep your strength to **** the devil
in another day,
hopefully by surprise.

I can kiss you good night

happy for them
Cristina Mar 2015
I'm just after the corner
two bodies and four glasses away
I hear your voice and
I try to distinguish your words,
we've changed so much
so I can't understand what you're saying
then you pause and
your laugh fills my ears,
tiny pieces come together and
form a picture with you smiling
all from different places where
our memories are boxes full and closed,
and my heart jolts of joy.
I am happy for you.

the kiss
Cristina Mar 2015
she stole a kiss from his lips
last night before the rain began
and he didn't felt deprived of something
though she stole an innocent kiss.

the thief pleads mercy appealing
at the brown sparkly eyes and
with a simple, single motion
her tongue makes her lips more sensual,
tasting the drops of water from the cold rain
and guess what he wanted to taste then.

for the moon
Cristina Mar 2015
the sky is clearer than my thoughts
even the clouds pass easy by
I can see the moon, is up there
she's so **** far anyway
and I'm here
more close to the ground
feeling jealous on the stars.

the girl and the boy
Cristina Mar 2015
just a girl standing in front
of a boy
with eyes wide open
and the heart too
trying to understand
how he can see beauty and peace
in her soul
or
how he can fall in love
with her.

moving on
Cristina Mar 2015
I've lost my words the moment you turned your back on me
and I can't replay to people's questions
other way than using signs.

I've lost my hearing at your first scream
using disappointed words like...
well, those I can not write.

I saw the sunset every morning since then
and I've tried to speak small words like:
beautiful and caring and I.

I saw a man today who touched my hands
and the intensity of one moment
made me wish I could see in his heart,
and also in his head.

I've heard a simple question coming from him
and I quickly answer it without thinking,
my voice was strong but still ****
and I've remember that that was the first time since
well,
I've remember to use words with voice
and I'll not be afraid to make myself notice anymore,
because like you
I can move on.

the option to leave
Cristina Mar 2015
occasionally I want to hide myself
somewhere safe from the entire word
so I can watch how is out there
without me,
if it's good or bad
if I'd be missed or not,
and if is ok
I want to leave and never come back.
Mar 2015 · 537
disclosure
Cristina Mar 2015
The time has passed
and I discovered that
I look at you in a way that you'll never look back
And I understand as well your desire
To meet someone new and fall in love.

beautiful smile
Cristina Mar 2015
I walk down the street and I see you,
my heart skips a few beats,
maybe I look like a fool
when
we friendly greet
each other and I reflect
the same wide smile
you proudly wear
that can't be
removed
even
after
I cross by you.
Mar 2015 · 654
to know or not
Cristina Mar 2015
I saw you too late
and maybe it's better this way
because
once you know, you can't unknow
that my mind screams to you
and my body screams for you
and
I hope that the dreams
about your lips
will never end
as well
as your laughter
that still resonates
in my eardrums.
go Diana!

straight to redemption road
Cristina Mar 2015
undress the burden that you wear
leave it rot on wetland
be thin and simple when you'll travel,
all the ways are now more narrow
choose the best entrance between all,
stick with it until you will find
a sense of peace in your remained heart.

I wish
Cristina Feb 2015
I wish I had as many words as tears
to describe the picture I have in mind,
is the same landscape, even the colors fade
or get more sharpen in other days.

I wish I could told you about the pain
I felt inside, because
my heart is still full of bruises
and bears the imprint of your fingers.

a state of low mood
Cristina Feb 2015
Where no one would want to be
I am not alone.
Among others like me
sharing a deep secret
believing that no one can know,
but
they clearly see.

we recognize a pitched laugh,
a too small smile,
or doomed words like
how is she now?
and all the answers we can provide
we can verbalize only one:
we want a medicine for
our silent screams.

some dreams
Cristina Feb 2015
I fell asleep with your image in my thoughts
knowing that you'll never know how I felt.
the night was always short,
so the dreams have come and gone
about possible alternatives involving
kisses and no clothes.
I woke up before sunlight in many days
hoping that eventually you'll notice me
how I really am.

the woman and her pain
Cristina Feb 2015
she has a broken heart that can be seen
from a decent distance and
the shattered pieces can be heard
even if you don't want to listen.

missing him when he's around
is worse than missing him when he's far away.
how can I say to him some crazy things
when in some days he doesn't even acknowledge I exist.

I hear these words often enough
to simply understand
a true meaning of all that.

you must take your life
in your own hands  and gently carry on
because he just drop your heart on the ground
*and moved on.

glue and love
Cristina Feb 2015
some say it's true some say is fake
love will cost, and the price to pay

waiting
Cristina Jan 2015
do I cross your mind as much you cross mine?
are you thinking at a way to let the pride not stand in our way?
are you measuring the distance between our bodies
analyzing how to surprisingly touch my lips with yours?
or how your tongue can make a way into mine?
how long it will get for you to decide?
