And Just Be Happy
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
Why can't we hold hands
Walk this path of life
And just love one another?

Why do we spend our days
In a sunken abyss of hatred
Seeded through many ages?

The seeds, growing fruits
Poisonous and bitter
Killing ourselves day by day

Lets end the ward
End the hate
And just be happy
454 · Mar 2013
Amorem Divinum
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
To my sweet goddess,

Day in and day out
The sun rises and fades
The moon follows suit
A natural continuum of sorts

And like the sun and the moon
And the seasons they bring
My love for you is continuous
Starting but never ending

If life forces my hands from yours
And we are pried millions of miles apart
Know this, my only love
I will always cherish you in my heart

But I don't fear that day
For it shall never come
Millions of miles couldn't bar me from you
My love is too deep for that

For I have peered into the eyes
Of the divine in all of her mystic beauty
Which have cast onto my heart
A blessing of eternal passion

Should the sun die on the sunset of next
I wouldn't fear the ensuing darkness
I have the light of your soul
To show my path to your heart

From this path, I don't stray
I have only will enough to be with you
You're all I'll ever need
And I'll love you forever and always
To the moon and back
448 · Apr 2013
Bleh
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
The steel door has closed
Stopping the flow of
Psychotically devoted emotions
From pouring out of my heart
And into the words that you read
My words are bland
Yet met my feelings have spice
Why can't I put word to feeling today?
447 · Mar 2013
Undefined Depth
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
Normally my pen scribbles
Words of definite feeling
But tonight, I feel so much
Hope, love, happiness
All of which so deep
It swirls about mixing
Leaving my heart
To tell you sweet things
To make your heart smile
As you have made mine so many times
446 · Nov 2013
Untitled
Jacobo Raymundo Nov 2013
Your ghost haunts me whilst I sleep
Dances in my head and leaves a cut
A cut so deep I have no choice but
To sit here in this abyss and weep

Have you no shame in my misery?
Do you not see my wishes to die
So I don't have to sit to your heart so nigh?
Please oh please my angel set me free

I wished for you heart and mine
To be one and one together forever
But I have found that it is to be never
That our paths should again entwine

But I keep up the fight
So that our hands may entangle
But it is leaving me strangled
And I'm ready to die tonight
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
444 · Mar 2013

Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
The darkness of the night
Absolves the peace you've found
The demons run amuck
Destroying the gargoyles
That stood protecting your heart

I'm not made of stone
But darling I'm right here
I will stand in the face
Of evil to save you
I love you
443 · Apr 2013
Yes I Do
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
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

Eyesight blurring as eyelids droop
The world is not intelligible to my sight
Yet I see an image clear as day
It is you, it is you again
I see your eyes peering back into mine
And I relive the days of past
Again and again and again and again
I miss you

The Traveled Path is Me
Jacobo Raymundo Jun 2013
Life is not some course
Upon an unmarked path
As was theorized before my time

No, life is the path
Unforeseen, elongating, meandering
Being blazed with each escaping moment

We do not leave prints on the path
But others leave footprints on us
As they travel along with us

Some are minuscule, some gargantuan
Some are washed away with rains of sorrow
But others, they last forever

No Title
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
Write my name in blood on your walls
Bask in all its glory
Take it all in
Now burn your wall

You don't even deserve to see it
You deserve nothing
Other than to watch me and my goddess
And melt in your own envy
436 · May 2013
Your Majesty
Jacobo Raymundo May 2013
Oh majestic one
Why rise in your own court?
You dictate the lives below you
But you're light years away
Oh majestic sunrise

My Arms Await
Jacobo Raymundo May 2013
I yearn to feel your soft skin
Pressed against mine
A stroke of love
As I push your golden brown hair
Back, revealing your emerald eyes
To feel the tingle
Of your ruby lips parting
Making contact with mine
Erasing millennia of suffering
Washing all sorrow from my bones
To feel your soul
Lovingly embracing mine
Two people made for one another
Rejoicing in the freedom of now

Oh please, I nearly beg of you
Release this rusting binding of your past
Feel the rush of a free breeze
Caressing and shifting your sweet aroma
Fall as deep as you can
My arms await to catch you
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
Moaning cadavers tug at me
Watching me flounder around their grasp
My only goal is to flee

The sun fades away
And the dead come to life
This is no place to stay

The moon and the stars
Are non-existent, no hope
Not even the darkness can cover my scars

But there is a power within
I see her face and push through
I want to see her at the end

Oh and I can see her face
It's so clear in my dreams
Whilst I drift among empty space

The tunnel slowly fades to dust
The light shows once more
To find your love is a must

And here I stand
Looking into your eyes so beautiful
Just as I had planned

The Valley that lays behind me
Is in my past, now entirely defeated
And I'm glad you could find me

Do Your Own Wrong
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
Those acidic words
Dribble from your lips
Like snakes slithering from your throat
Fueled by blood of molten hatred

The words that have been spoken
Sear the earth around your feet
Alter reality to your eye
And devours the innocence of a rose

From the body of those lips
A tale is told from the other side
Far away in a paradise
Perfection, why not?

As your body deceives your lips
And acts as you say not
The earth scowls at your devilish lies
Traitor to yourself!

For you have a present
Shakier than the spoken past
So hush your lips childish woman
And do your own wrong today
Gossipers a ruining the personal world around us. How can we build compassion and peace if people are worried about others' lives? I pray you all feel the peace and harmony if acceptance of others

Life
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Perhaps life does not exist
Tis just a dreary film shown in the heavens above
Showing the lessons of what to do
Or rather what not to do
When placed in Home

Perhaps life is not physical at all
What we touch and see is not there
Projections to end our fears
Of floating lonely in space

Perhaps life has no love
No gain or loss
Because it simply tis not real

Perhaps life isn't real
And neither are the feelings that come with it

But tis indeed, and I do love you

Silence
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
The lack of noise blares in my ears
Scorching my waiting flesh
Eager to here the sound of your voice
The sweet melody
But falling victim
To the desolation of the silence

Sonnet I
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
Goddess standing before the mirrored pool
Watching ripples twist and contort her face
Beautiful flesh refracted upon the cool
Where unworthy men praise the hallowed ground
I stand above, chuckling at them all
Have they no shame to wear on their forehead?
Do they not know that they cannot stand tall
Enough to win the heart of my beloved?
Apparently not, for there they remain
Waiting for her to abandon her post
That day won't come, they'll endure much pain
Tonight, we rest after a friendly toast
"May the best man walk with her through the door
     And share love with her forevermore"
I have decided to start a sonnet cycle of who knows how many sonnets. here is the first. also, none will be named

Give Me Liberty
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
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

To the Sky
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
Oh why must pain riddle my heart?
Can the birds not sing every day
And can the sun not always be seen?
For what purpose does this rain patter
Upon my soul and drench me
Only for your smile to thaw the the freeze?
Can the Angels not strum a time upon their harps
To the beat of your footsteps
Drawing you close to me?
Can the aroma of your sweet skin not
Bring back so many memories
If they are not to be today?
Can I just fade into dust
Settle upon this earth
And be one with the wind
And drift off into the evening sun?
Can you not just be with me?

Even if it's to Nowhere
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
Shadows shadows on the ground
Pitfalls within reach of every step
Absolute darkness shrouds presence
Feed the hungry beast within my soul
When it rears its ugly head
Soothe it with your melodious voice
Reason with me, calm my fears
Take my hand, sweet goddess
Deviate from our current paths
Loosely intertwined, tangle the knot tightly
Hold on and never let go
So we can fall deep and away
Deep and away from here and there
Let us fall together, even if it's to nowhere
395 · Jun 2013
Let Me Lay
Jacobo Raymundo Jun 2013
Please my darling let me lay
Lay forgotten and rusted
An old memory slipping away
Let me squander away my last breaths
Reciting to you my vows
Of undying affection
And then, in the last moments of my existence
Look me in the eyes
Take in the serenity of my death
And then understand that it is easier for me
As I pass through the final stages of hell
And finally wither till I was no more

Love Letter
Jacobo Raymundo May 2013
Oh sweet mythical beauty
How I long to embrace you
Feel the surge of powerfully passionate emotion
As not only our two persons meet
But our two souls as well

Perhaps the days are growing fewer
Between now and reunition
But they drag on and on
With such monotony

Days fade to grey with pure amnesia
As my last clear memory is our last
The day you too faded
From my eye to my mind

But, you approach my eye once more
Eager yet timid
As I reach out and you take a step back
And I urge to you come forth
It's safe here with me
I promise you that
And I love you

Free Me, my Angel
Jacobo Raymundo Feb 2013
Freedom bells ringing in the distance
A scolding scowl crosses my face
I'm stuck behind the bars of my own heart
Free me, my Angel
Take me from the hands of thine goddess
Whom I love so dearly
Pry my dead hands from her lovely waist
Revive me, give me renewed life
But cry not one tear when I run from you
It is inevitable, I already apologize
She is where my heart belongs
Where it will always be
Just stay here with me for time being,
Will you?

One day
I fear
The last seed
Will be sowed

One day
I fear
The last back
Will be broken

One day

The last tear
Will have fallen

One day
I fear
Humanity's last breath
Will be taken

One day
I fear
We will have no one to blame
But ourselves

My Love
Jacobo Raymundo Oct 2013
My Love,

Let me gaze into your eyes
And reminisce in what can be
Years and years hand in hand

A smile blessed by an angel
While you sigh
And my heart falls

A sleepy head and a drifting voice
Where your beauty really shines
Through your messy hair

Let me take you
Take you with me and me with you
On this journey of life

Many Moons
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Many moons have passed
Since I held you in my arms last...

And many more may come
Before I can hold again
But I will continue on to the marching drum
Until our love will rebegin

I have spent many nights
Looking upon the lonely moon
Taking in all the lights
Wishing to be with you soon

I know your heart has folded, retreated
Back within your castle of safe solitude
But my love for you cannot be deleted
It is true, it is of such great magnitude

No words could ever express it
I would wait for you for the rest of my days
But I know you'll come back, so I don't stress it
I will live until then through the haze

But come nightfall
My head turns to the starry sky
Watch the moon bring light to all
Wishing that I could hang my head so high

Many things have I learned
Compare to this patience
Many days my heart has yearned
Slowly fading away with decadence

Oh beautiful one, hold on
Many moons have passed
And it has been far too long
Since I've held you in my arms last...

An Explanation
Jacobo Raymundo Jun 2013
Many poems that are left untitled
And written by my hand
Are not really poems
Just blurbs of thought like this
So if you can think of ways
To better and lengthen and develop them
Feel free to message me your ideas

You may see them for sale one day

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

Sonnet II
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
At daybreak, the contest shall commence
Loaded upon chariots, we begin
As trumpets blast through the blissful silence
Suddenly striking my face, a sharp grin
I shall not be defeated, she is mine
I know this much for she has told me so
Yes, my ears have been graced by the divine
And I wish for everyone to know
None of you will rise to be victorious
You have not walked through enough torture
She is a goddess, forever glorious
Her beauty is pristine, tis beyond pure
To anyone who wants to make her their own
This sacred struggle is already won

My Loving Embrace
Jacobo Raymundo Dec 2012
Before the dawn when all is still
My mind races to and fro
Remembering our best of days
Dreaming that you lay beside  me
Watching the stars fade into the Orange glow

While you sleep so peacefully
Turmoil thrashes about
Within your lovely heart
I know you still love me
I can feel it

Why then, do you hide it?
There ought not be a single pain
Nor a single fear
Because I am here, arms fully extended
Awaiting you to fall into my  embrace

Just do it

Sonnet III
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
Beautiful does not match your great allure
You draw me in with such intensity
It is amazing how you are my cure
To love you, I have a propensity
It is hard to watch you move with such grace
To stand there as elegant as a rose
And not grab you by your beautiful face
And not kiss you; it causes far too many throes
Please, I beg you, end this brainless contest
I am destined to be the victor, yes?
I have already passed your endless tests
Do you not see I'm better than the rest?
Just go ahead and fall into my love
With me by your side, we will rise above

Emptiness?
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013
Mark the ground beneath my feet with stars
And follow me to my destiny
Take a trip through my galaxy
See what I see feel what I feel
Judge me from the outside
And I'll mock you from the inside
The waters are warm here
But I cool those around me
You see a steady face
Slowly becoming apathetic to your pettiness
You beggards! Trying to steal my flame
I will torch your empty body
And smoke it for the high
And feel the empty happiness
That plagues your hearts
But wouldn't emptiness be better
Than feeling so much it stings?
335 · Mar 2013
To the Moon
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
And if I do fade with the evening sun
Can I then rise with the cresting moon?
Sit atop my perch and watch as the stars
Slowly burn out like my wobbly sanity?
Slowly become one with the universe that
Surrounds my heart and chokes it?
Oh man on the moon, will you come down
To me and take me away?
Put millions of miles between myself and my struggle?
Take me to a place where no pain exists
Only the supreme peace of absolute
Solitude and tranquility?
Oh man on the moon take me away

Forever was never so short
Jacobo Raymundo Feb 2013
Desolation, withering trees dropping sadly
Green grass now turned to frozen nostalgia
Oh what great joy life was
When my home was green with life
Surrounded by an eternity of happiness
But death came quick
As I slowly perished inside
Forever never was so short

The Tale of Two Smiles
Jacobo Raymundo Jan 2013
You smile at me as I walk past
My heart has no reaction
I merely smirk in return
Not in disgust

But You on the other hand
When You smile at me
My heart tumbles upwards
Towards the boundless heavens
You put my soul in sweet serenity

My Own Name
Jacobo Raymundo Apr 2013

Total death
But why would I scream my own name?

To the Mirror
Jacobo Raymundo Mar 2013
Oh but could you fathom leaving behind
All that you love?
You damnèd fool! You weak buffoon!
Had you not tried to seperate your heart
From your being?
Only to crawl around like a mindless freak
Frothing at the mouth as if taken by
Some disgusting ailment?
Aye, you had you had.
I remember the tears that fell from your eyes
The rivers of pain slowly trickling
Aye, you had fallen to your knees only to stand
Do so now.
If you shan't walk then how must you trek across
The miles that stand before you?
The path is clear and the sun is shining
Follow your heart young one
Find peace with the earth around you
And find your way back home
To the arms of your goddess

Numb My Soul

Blind my eye
Deafen my ear
Numb my soul
I wish to feel nothing anymore

Vultures pick at the carcass
Of who I was
I only know pain
That love
That happiness
Was just a short high
An addicting drug I can't give up
