Rhyme or not, life is
A beautiful verse written
In vivid colors.

their ashes,
saints and sinners alike,
- clinging to my beard

bottomless brown well,
drop a stone into my eyes,
- listen for the splash

trapped like a rat-love
Calvero Jun 2014
feeling too much makes you weak
men are dogs, I see

confirmation needed
who this is, is hard to know
preciseness please god

My gods are living
my gods breath, guide me softly
then abandon me

whiskey thoughts
Calvero May 2014
rudderless, weary
empty hearts full of loss
meet in the hotel

let it out
let the world back in
a beacon of hope

fight like siblings
love like family; any
port in a storm

brothers and sisters
that i could take away
pain from love forlorn

and mend all shreds
of misfortune
previously torn

brought on by whiskey
in the end
this was just a thought

Once I loved her more
Even than the air I breathe-
She, a bad dream now.

To be like my good friend, wind
Unpredictable.

when I fall asleep
I dream of being with her
morning light wakes me

~awake~

go through the motion
of another empty day
I can't think of her

~alive~

if she were still here
we'd spend each moment for love
our time so well used

the magic of smiles
Calvero May 2014
Something we all know-
A simple smile is pure gold
When you are lonely.

Sun is moving west;
dark clouds are going east. Then,
the sun disappears.

cracked pots, the greys of your life

D33 in F Minor
Calvero Mar 2014
The curve – soft – speaking
fast then slow
then not at all
dancing – whitewalls
jumping – up and out
and so excited
and lifted from the very top
circles
making something
nothing
built up
a humming in the ear
cause I can't laugh or sing
that I see
that I dare to see and write
as if others hadn't written before
but dressed as a savage
that does not care to lose
or fight but sing
so funny
a hit of *****
we'll see
written 18th century
like it's new
to have a little fun
in the absence of anything
truly beautiful
that I can undress
and write again
after having a light
and grass that folds over
and a room full of armor
and soft
and moving
towards an end
where I can make it silly

YOLO
Calvero Mar 2014
You only live once?
What an interesting thought.
But maybe it's true.

If death's but a door
To paradise forever.
The blessing of God.

No one asks for life.
God provides it free to all.
"You only live once..."

That portion of life
We spend on this planet Earth
Is just a prologue.

While here we should love,
Do good, and glorify God...
Set our sights on Him.

My BODY will die.
But my SOUL is infinite,
And will be reborn...

My corpse will decay,
To dust my tissue return.
But I will go on....

You only die once.
And thus escape this cold world
To the arms of God.

If we live just "once,"
Then life goes on forever...
Aim for Paradise.

a glimmer of hope
boys in bars with sculptured hair
girls trip on their heels

where, where are the men?
smear faced desperates lament.
not in the club scene.

and these boys care not
a woman could scar ego
so they pursue girls
Just going off of what's seen in movies and whatnot, I never really experienced the "club scene."

I will I will.
keep talking over
                             and over
                                           and over
                                                          and over.
Words, words
                       coming out of mouth.
Blah blah,
                bleh
and
          bluh.
Words, words, words.
Do they even mean anything? Any of this mean anything? Nope.

sweet bombs
Calvero Jan 2014
Chocolate given on February the 14th can have many meanings...
They can be a form of love letter...
A kind of insurance, or even bribe, to ensure continuity of good relations...

And then...

There's the kind that I've got my eye on...
...it might call itself "chocolate" and it might taste sweet...but it's more like a bomb.
Chocolate gifting on the 14th b/c of love, courtesy, or social obligation, is a popular custom.
