A rush to my head
The toy soldier stands at attention
Hearts pounding
The plastic men file in ranks
Sheep to the slaughterhouse
Eyes widening
The belly of the beast
Opens its void, its mouth
Stomachs dropping
The sunlight fades at noon
Darkness
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
Sun setting, slowly drifting behind the mountains
The iridescent glow of July fades into night
Crickets chirping, fireflies buzzing about
Making the world around us our own
Little, secluded universe amongst nature

The creak of a chair swing, oscillating in rhythm
To the beats in our chest, the swirl in our hearts
As you collapse into my arms, like you always did
A little gray streak showing, glistening
The smell of your fresh brewed coffee invades
Delights my nose so used to the smell
And my eyes, peering into yours
Fifty long/short years from now
And I love you still

Leaping hurdles with ease, never looking back
The heart of a wanderer finding homestead
In the soul of a loving beauty
Who's been wronged by so many
Yet can still love so deeply
The awestruck glance you catch from me
Babe, that's never gonna change
You're gonna amazes every day without fail
That's you, purely amazing

And so when I close my eyes tonight
Know that's what I see
And I really can't wait
To grow old with you

The power behind a voice
The sweet calming of a goddess
Pouring serenity over my heart
Rough seas cease to trouble
The lonely sailor
Who was never truly alone
Perched in the sky you watched me
As I drew ever closer to you

You hideous deception!
Show your face!
No don't
I don't wish to see it
You have walked a path
Which I thought may be righteous
Little did I know
You gladly opened the gates of hell
And strolled on through
For that
I want nothing to do with you
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
Sinking deep beneath my flesh
Seeping your beauty into my soul
I can feel you beating with my heart
Welcome home sweet love
I've missed you here

Disorder in my courtroom please! Will the defendant please take the stand at this time?

The walk of shame has started
The hour in which I must confess my crimes
Has arrived, driving me to the edge of sanity
As my throes meet public scrutiny

Did you or did you not love so hard your heart couldn't take it anymore?

Oh I did I did!
The poor critter couldn't even stand up!
I threw it around, ignored it
As I prayed hopelessly for her sweet love

For what purpose did you do this mister?

Don't glare at me so sternly you heathens!
Have you not been in my shoes?
Have you never seen the eyes of a goddess
Which bewitch you, steal your soul
And chain it around her pretty fingers?

Answer the questuon

Oh the purpose is so unknown to me
Who would knowingly set their face ablaze?
Her pretty head begged for my shoulders
And I was there when nobody else was
And I love her, I love her so

oh so you say you love her now? Do you understand the consequences of that?

My question is do you?
Do you ever stare upon a starry night
And pray for clouds because
Her face is a constellation?
Do you ever see the moon and lose yourself
Because somewhere in this world she may be too?
Have you ever poured rivers from your eyes
Just to smile when she is near?
Don't you see
There is nothing equivalent to her
It's a shame you can't see my heart
Slowly bleeding out
Shriveling, withering
As I watch her walk away

Simply my question is this, would you die for her

Death could never be so sweet your honor

I sentence you to hanging immediately you scoundrel!*

With my last escaping breath,
I see your eyes meet mine
One final time
My mouth moves
But no sound comes out
An you heard me so clearly
I loved you until now
And I'll love you forever
This is the price I pay
But I still love you
Yes I do

I awoke and my eyes were stained
By my own blood pouring from my face
A million screams shriek into my ears
But from no voice did they originate
The power of the cobra is immense
As it latches on to my trachea
And steals the breath from lungs
Fills my veins with its seeping venom
Its remedy
Give me liberty
By giving me death
