WE
Emanuel Martinez Oct 2012
WE
I keep thinking of you
No, I wasn't expecting you
Who would have known

You were so close
I want to kiss you
I want to hug you
I wanna hold you

This first time
Felt so familiar
Like we knew each other from long ago

And I held on to you
Stayed right there close to you
Let you touch my lips
Wrap your hips, with fast grip

You gave me one kiss
When shyly I said I didn't know how
And then I couldn't stop from searching for your lips
Kissing every feature of you

I keep thinking of you
No, I wasn't expecting you
Who would have known
I would be here with you

Four Years
Emanuel Martinez Nov 2010
It's been only four years
Of your life, passing on by

You came awkward and shy
What to say, which way to go
You didn't know
What everything was about

Now your on your way out
And everything seems clear

It's been only four years
Of your life, passing on by

Each year you grew
And you grew a little more
That smile no longer confound
You made friends
who were fond of you

This school was full of them
Friends for life and more

It's been only four years
Of your life, passing on by

It feels like a lifetime to some
And others are ready to run
But no one will forget
All the good times that have gone

Hilarious, sad, profound
Memories were behind every corner
Unforgettable people talking to us
Their face will be
cemented in our minds

It's been only four years
Of your life, passing on by

And great teachers were always
Pushing you beyond
putting seeds in your mind
Now your ready to harvest
The ideas that fill your mind

These have only been four years
  a temporary settlement
In our life
Beautiful times flying on by

Now it's time to enter
The rest of our lifetime
Making a difference,
Surely in our mind

Temporary Departure
Emanuel Martinez May 2011
Oceans of blue wash my tears away
Pain, torture only implores
Voids inside tearing up the seams
For emptiness has insufficient space

Languishing screams in their silence
Deafening to thoughts they threaten to be
Sadness, endless strokes blemishing the soul

Tie my dreams and drag them down till they drown
Heart halt in your meandering, not another blow
Love my wicked, don’t torment my youth

This face is becoming hallow and grave
All I want is stillness and peace, but alas it cannot be
Time is stealing everything from me

Labor of Love
Emanuel Martinez Jun 2011
It is a labor of love
That which I work

You ignore me
And you don't respond

I say, I love you
And you seem hollow
Take it lightly
That's all you can do

So afraid to know that is real
Thus you shunt me aside

Is this thing one sided!
No, I know that you need me
I want you to need me
I need you to need me

It is a labor of love
Which I will keep braking my back for

For some it takes a lifetime to fully fall in love
And to find a place to belong

Call me naive
But I think I've found a place of my own
In your heart

It is a labor of love
Which I will sweat through tears and blood

I wont rest until I've made you understand
There's only place for you in my heart

No matter if it brakes my heart
It is a labor of love
Which I will work over for your heart

It is something about the human condition

When so immersed in ourselves, we are
Remembering not, we are not alone
Growing barriers, we do allow

Self sufficient, we tend to become
And those around us are no longer there
As with a world of private problems,we are engulfed

It is something about the human condition

When alone in this world, we feel
Though there are more than six billion souls yearning
For a sense of belonging

Thus hopeless, we go through the journey alone
and on a rampage, is the fear
That separates our soul from true happiness

It is something about the human condition

When alone, we think we are
Though love is boundless
Waiting for seekers
If we'd only be willing to find it

Lost in isolation
Is left, the beauty we can share
Because too afraid, we are
To the world, let it show

The human condition
Not the same for everyone
We think
It's inevitable to feel alone
We can't all belong
Togetherness, now there's something wrong

Yet tears, we all cry
And smiles, we all show

It's something about the human condition
We all share

The Other Side of the World
Emanuel Martinez Dec 2010
So of course
I thought I'd make a difference

People would be taking vacations on the moon by then
and cars would be flying like plains

I'd be famous and my friends too
For being who we are

There'd be one country
in the whole wide world

We'd all say hi in Chinese,
Adios in fransçais,
Et comment ça va in Benghali

We'd all like each other
and we wouldn't even know why

Hating would be out of style
We'd be laughing all the while

I'd be one of the wealthiest people in the world
Because the newest currency would be happiness

Alone
Emanuel Martinez Nov 2010
I feel alone
In this battle
Hope is a mere passage
In my life's times

Don't know who to turn to
What if I'm going at it alone
Don't know who to turn to
What if they label me wrong

Never wanted to be this way
But my feelings don't give a ****
Have to stop at some point
Take a way and leave the other
My mind murmurs more
As time moves on

Don't know who to turn to
What if I'm going at it alone
Don't know who to turn to
What if they judge me wrong

Always striven to live a good life
So I fight with my emotions
But every time I stop
To go the righteous way
I mess up, falter, get stuck again

It's back to the warfare in my mind
Infiltrating most thoughts going on by

I feel all alone
In this battle
Hope it'll soon be over
Don't want any casualties
To injure a good man

Our Only Color
Emanuel Martinez Dec 2010
I love the color of your skin
the only color that my heart can see
Is the one that we both share

No matter if you're purple and I'm green
No matter how much it seems that we differ
We are both one color

It's the color of love
It's the color of love
Which makes us all the same

It's who we are
Not what we are
that draws the line of definition

It's the color of our character
It's the color of our character
Which tells us who is different
And who is the same

It's the way that we decide to live side by side
and show a gesture of love to our brethren
or get away and annihilate the other side with signs of hatred
Which confuses us about our true colors
the ones we show when we radiate with love and kindness

It's the color of smiles
It's the color of smiles
that makes us forget differences and complexities
and brings us together just to have a good time

It's the color of peace
that we should try to portray
because in the real world
there is no black or white
there is only true colors, the ones we show
the one we share

Such A Fate
Emanuel Martinez Nov 2010
There’s a way, there’s a way

It’s a cable bridge, brittle and diminishing

Still people keep crossing on
'Till those cables may finally brake


Some lose their lives, while others scared, head back
And just a few make it to
The land of freedom

It is beautiful, it’s enticing
Won’t you come risk your life for a dream?
Just keep on crossing, no matter if you lose your step

Keep on moving
Until those doors no longer show a crack

For those inside, those that live
With uncertainty

They will come to see
A change, a shift in fortunes

When judgments made, decision taken
Will determine how dreams unfold

We will see, we will see
If the blood, sweat, and tears
Running down our cheeks
Will endure the infinite fight
