Amor
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Amor, Amor, Amor
¿Donde estas?
Estaba traído encontrar tú
¿Adonde estaba ido?
Estaba vido en el oscuro
En la día
Todos lugares en el mundo
Pero no estas aquí
¿Sales con mí corazón
Y nunca volvería?

Can One Prevail?
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Can one keep strength when
Everything is turned against
Their flesh and blood?

Can one keep looking upward when
The skies oh so cloudy
Keep pouring down sorrows?

Can one keep such great faith when
They feel abandoned
Left to die?

Can one pass the test
That He lays for us?
Life is full of tests. Although I look upon this from a religious stand point, it is true to all. Can you pass the test? Can you hold faith whether it be in God above or in a brighter tomorrow? Can you?

Eternal Wish
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
I wish

I wish for you and I
To walk this Earth
Hand in hand
Eternally

A moment on your lips
An eternal kiss
I wish

Talk With Jah
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Jah speak to me
From time to time
I try to listen good
But Jah is gone
As fast He come

Jah told me once
"Hold on young soldier,
Love will soon find you"
But death comes too soon
Shattered heart leaves pain

Yet I keep faith in Jah words
For I know He knows all
He sees what I cannot
So I follow Jah path
Until I reach my resting place
Within your heart
To anybody who doesn't know and is curious, Jah is the Rastafarian word for God. I listen to a lot of reggae and have done quite a bit of research in Rasta history so I decided to write a poem with a reggae feel to it.
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Could you be more beautiful?
It must be impossible
Your smile, oh so bright
Is the reason that stars fall
Jealousy of a glow they cannot match

Could you be more beautiful?
With your walk of grace
Leaving celestial life
With every inch you touch

Could you be more beautiful?
With such a melody of a voice
Soothing my pains daily

Could you be more beautiful?
As my heart falls every day

Could you be more beautiful?

Heroin(e)
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Rush through my veins
Devour all my feelings of pains
And of my deep sorrow
End this today or it will end tomorrow
Rush through my veins
My sweet ******

Rush through my veins
Wipe me from this foresaken land
Clean me of my forgotten stains
Destroy all the evils planned
Rush through my veins
My sweet heroine
If anybody is curious, I am not a drug addict and have never done ******. It is comparing my lost love to a drug and then to a hero(ine)

River Words
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Rivers forever flowing
Carving great canyons
Within the crust

Meandering from place to place
The Holy Spirit's artistic hand
Draws upon my heart

Seemingly random patterns
Viewed from above
Write the name of my only true love

Aubade to my Lover
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
The night grows thinner
As the bright orange fills the deep
As the stars vanish
So does our time together
Daylight is the final bell
The end of us for now

Beware young lovers
Spouts the rising sun
The day anew has begun
And so kiss goodmorning
And leave upon my warning
A simple little aubade. It's nothing much.

Shadows
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Shadows cast upon the grey
Darkness upon the dull day

Watch as time begins to fade
Into infinity, my life betrayed

I live my days through broken dreams
Vicariously, through favored memories

Look into this shattered mirror
As tears roll with a small tremor

Doubt enters my soul and fogs my head
To be honest, I'd rather be dead

Than living life without my rose
The reason I sit here and compose

Lune of the Loon
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
I sit here growing weary
Pen in hand
Writing for my lost love

She has been gone now
For too long
Yet I pray for reunition

Possibly insanely, I lose touch
Earth escapes me
Gravity no longer affects me

For when the beautiful goddess
Smiles at me
I float like an angel

I watch as men scramble
Searching for love
Such an elusive, godly feeling

Yet I have to laugh
For I know
My love is in you

As it always will be
My craziest idea
Was to hold on forever

Yet I have no regrets
I love you
And I will without end

It may drive me insane
On these days
When I cannot hold you

But I know, one day
You will be
Dancing with my loving heart

Forever, as it should be
This is an extended lune that I happened to pour out. My heart has it's random outbursts and my pen can do nothing but follow.

Empty Shell
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
I stand here
Where broken dreams
Fall to rest

Where the hearts
Of young lovers
Burn in their own passion

As a million dying souls
Rush from the barren ground
I stand still

Knowing my heart is next
Next to parish
Next to be an inferno

All around me
Moaning entities enclose
Walls caving in

I cant even use my last breath
To express my love for you
I am already gone

If you look up in the night sky
And see a star
Brighter than the north one

Know this sweet child
It is me smiling down upon you
While my empty shell weeps

Night
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
Cold overrides

The dark burns

Absent bodies creep

The night sinks in

Sun shall never shine

Upon a lonely heart

Nights grow to infinity

While days vanish

Air becomes water

Drowing in dark sorrow

Crying tears from a sad heart

Flowers do not grow

Space

Infinite and lonely

Where I wait

Wand'ring Waves
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
Vastness
Myself and I
Wand'ring by our lonesome

Emptiness
Nothing in sight
An empty palette

Solace
The peaceful calm
Washing over my broken soul

Beauty
God's work of art
In Its simplest form

Lonely
I wander the seas
Searching for land to crash

Twisted Clock
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
The pendulum swings
Quarter past three
Time bites and stings
What time will it be?

Contorted mechanics pop
Broken hands pound
The beaten face drop'd
Eaten by the devil's hound

Cuckoo bird yelps
A searing pain
Scorching helps
The birds consciousness regain

Time stands still
Psychics can't forsee
The lighthouse on a hill
Nowhere near a sea

Blood drips from the wound gears
Silently covering the floor
With my absorbed fears
Watch it close my door
I have no clue what this poem is supposed to mean. It was honestly a random presentation of my anger from today and a little bit of hurt.

Shadorma to the Rose
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
Blooming rose
Enjoy the warm sun
Live with joy
Never sad
Dismal days always have ends
Bright days will follow

Dark/Light
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
Darkness, my sweet abyss
Darkness, my sweet abyss
Surrounded by doubt, filled with fear
Surrounded by doubt, filled with fear
Sweet darkness, surrounded by fear
Abyss, filled with my doubt

Light, so bright, engulf my soul
Light, so bright, engulf my soul
Destroy the demons in me
Destroy the demons in me
Demons destroy my bright soul
So engulf the light in me

Battle the void, emptiness be gone
Battle the void, emptiness be gone
Your love is a necessity
Your love is a necessity
Emptiness is gone, the void a necessity
Be your love battle

Your soul, my sweet love, is filled
By fear, doubt, a darkness, surrounded with
Demons! Be gone!
Battle the necessity, the void
Light, destroy emptiness
So bright, engulf my abyss
This is my first attempt at a paradelle. It is a really interesting form to try. Enjoy.

Untitled
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2012
Cool mist rests upon my sleeves
While a frozen breeze stirs fallen leaves
The songbirds chirp their last songs vibrantly
Before the first night of frost, they leave triumphantly
For the warmth of the Spring, my heart grieves
Their return will bring its joys, it believes
So it sits by the window looking  skyward expectantly

These long months shan't be so lonely and cold
Not if I can have you by my side
Within the arms of one another, we shall enfold
Living happily together, with only love to betide
So have no fear sweetheart, take my hand
My greatest wish and my only demand
This is the first Sonnet of hopefully an entire Heroic Crown of Sonnets that I wish to write as a Christmas present. Enjoy!

Uncaged
Jacobo Raymundo Oct 2012
Locked away
Hidden from the light
Of day

The heart
Of the goddess of the sun
Whimpers alone

Beautifully
She carries on without
Her precious heart

But here
I stand before you
Roses in hand

Binding shackles
Fall to the cold, bland floor
Freedom

Only one
Locked iron door
Is left

Even you
The most beautiful of all
Needs help

My hand
Is extended towards you
Take it

I am without
The key to your precious heart
But I can try

Have faith
In the mortal that stands before you
He will leave your heart
*uncaged

— The End —
