I light up my empty soul
And watch it disappear into a cloud of smoke
As I burn away your memory
I feel the emptiness inside me grow
A massive broken universe devouring my heart

So I feed the demon inside me
Throwing hearts at him indiscriminately
Trying to fill the void you're leaving
But it fails and I continue to weep

The world watches with dismay
As I wither in front of their eyes
And succumb to the poison within me

You've become a cancer to my heart
But I still love you

And I fade away into forever night
Jacobo Raymundo Jul 2013
When I close my eyes I see you
So I wander sleeplessly
Until My brain shuts down
And I sleep without dreaming
Silent Solitude
Jacobo Raymundo Jul 2013
Many eons of history compile into a lonely monster
Recklessly abandoning the loves of his day
Destroying the hearts of those around him
Devouring the hope of the youth
Bringing night to the day

Having lost his own heart
A tremendous wall was built
Unable to be scaled yet left incomplete
Those that wiggle their way in
Can stay if they wish
Yet I know they won't
Nothing in life is forever
Except death, forever sanctuary

Death is a mental institute
When our hearts have endured enough pain
God removes us and imprisons us
Yet we care not
Because we are fed pills of Ecstasy
And left to forever wander on a playground

But I want to break death
It has no place in my world
I fear happiness as it is always followed
By pain with more magnitude
So I wish to stay unhappy, human
And resist my Forever Sanctuary

i look into the glass
and see stains returned
amorphous, lacking definition
but a fire burns in the middle
passion and desire
consuming the image
and the mirror breaks
Jacobo Raymundo Jul 2013
The night’s grim demeanor
Destroys the serenity of the moon
Ravishes the sacred
Hearts of the unfortunate few
Who dare brave the soulless vacuum

Where ignoble hate
Defines one’s belonging
Siphoning life from
Those around their fancied niche
To fuel their self-righteousness

Some fall victim to
The unreasonable, harsh wrath
Of the wretched demons
Whose empty skeleton bodies
Are devoid of happiness

But here you yet stand,
Angelic guardian,
Protectorate of the lonely,
You stand pristine, unmarred
Your smile banishes the treachery

Your beautiful smile
Transforms any place to a home
Captivates my heart:
You complete the person I am
And I love you more each day
Just a cool little tanka series I put together as a gift. Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to write since I've started college

Ayer  era así oscuro
Viví sin la sonrisa
-El sol- de mi diosa
No pude ver el futuro
Respirar estuve demasiado duro
Necesite mi mujer hermosa
¡Por Dios! Ella es preciosa
Soñé sobre sus belleza infecciosa

En eso sueño, floto en los nubes
Los ángeles cantan y bailan con amor
En Al alto de mi corazón, Te engarbes
Nuestro es más hermosa que un ciclamor

Mindless pander within the dome of reason
Bickering more or less with the walls and self
Punishment, punishment: **** you fool
Death and the universe coincide, collide
One being, supernaturally existent
Normally abnormal beyond logic
Dreams of dreams about dreams frolic
Goals pace themselves towards the gulliotine
One little sheep, two little sheep: dead
Oh elusive sleep, why do you not embrace me?
