Swamp
Leila Valencia Aug 2015
Take me down
The leaves grow upside down
Where the breathe leaves a puff
The drinks soothe me
And my scattering mind is at ease

Down in New Orleans
The ghosts and queens of spirits that fill the shadow
Stand by and you will see: swamplands where the spirits will rise

Listen as the willow weeps its blues on to your shoulder
The humidity sweat drips on your head as a droplet of chaos
The buzzing as a shock in silence of noise to distract the pain

Noise fills the empty caves and hollow trunks hold the empty souls
Behind your head is a dancing spirit
One drinking
Another dancing
Another smoking
Many partying

Many suffering
Unreleased from ties and pain
The pain many are tied to down in New Orleans
- inspired by 'bound'

Neptune
Leila Valencia Aug 2015
The songs of our head
A fast movie clip
Fast paced

Everyday, slow down, slow down.

All things real. Music makes things real.
And you were the one song I couldn't get out of my head.

Twisting, turning, swerving, dipping.
My car would turn around
Circles was the only direction my car knew.
Around, Around, Around.
Come full circle
Please leave, oh god leave

Then time passes: My head is dunked in ice water.
My pupils dilated and my heart beats to a tick.
Facing reality, then sip into another circle.

I realized:
You were my presence I presented in my mind
You were my presence slowly becoming my past, but my minds future
and Our presence was my undoing, I should've kept quiet
Neptune is the planet of illusion, escapism, fantasy, dreams, and imagination.
Love imagined.

The mountain clearness
Isn't going to shift the mountain's vagueness
The steering eyes cant dip into another cloud
And we cant walk out again on their lives
A bitten howl has struck another chord in humanity
Freedom is the security that creates insanity
The Fickle hearts that smear threats on the infants hands
I believe in humanity
I don't believe in a single human

I wish for a night that the mountain's grip can hold us over
I shrink into a flower to be plucked because I am afraid
I think blood is an excuse for violence and violene is an excuse for war
We don't look in our eyes to find light
We turn the night into a fire under cars
Beeping. Burning. Bursting. Buzzing. Blasting

Fear and terror thickens the lump in my throat and cuts a circle from my organs
It is scary to think we are just humans, the same humans capable of the exctition of ourselves.

I wish to all of those out there. In fear. I will help.
I will do all that I can.
These are not just words. This is a promise.
Im dedicating my life to help others.

Sealed
Leila Valencia Jun 2015
I would shield his mouth with a breathe
Its sealed with a touch and a laugh in the sky's breathe
As the stars swirl in a black hole beneath my arms

As the hair above me raises and my eyes swerve towards the tunnel....
Collapse to run and fall then run away from you.
I collapse into you.

I cant shake your sparks as there are fire flies guided my to the brick wall
I standstill as the red light breaks into a sizzle above me and my cheeks blend  into your sweater

I would shrivel  at you so I believe I cant swerve to you
I should spin around you until you catch my faint
I see the shock and question

The dark kisses
Dark kisses tonight into a ghost to smile at our rush to time
and the clear man tips his hat to flip a coin into the emptied hat
And as he picks me up

I fall into the night of a magic once upon a time
Never again sparks.
I have no idea

Stone Wall
Leila Valencia May 2015
My mouth is guided to a pasture of white roses
The momentum of the unseen builds like a sparkling night

The dark shadows unhinge me as the stone wall stacks like bricks
The vines wrap around its crevices and webs into spontaneous paths
My mouth guides to the light as my eyes roll back

I decide to stick my arms to my chest and feel the light of dust roll onto my arms
Push, Push, Pull
I drink the light as my body is closer to full exposure of it's power
The tingling of teasing is so close
My heave to reach to the top of the rose garden is extraordinary
I push and pull with every arm, but every time my mind is more excited I become weaker
My mind is foggy
The roses are now blooming into red, and the night is changing into day and the lure of the mysterious is straying it's luster
As my weak body touches the top of the Stone Wall I split my legs into two and dangle my legs with the faintness of falling between the stone wall.  

The moment my mind feels the light on my nose I fall back
I fall back into a dark black ground
My body rolls around in the ground as I find more ways to feel more sorry for myself

I am depressed with rage and sorrow

The light thickens into blackness and the roses begin turn into a darker more deep blood red.
I see my hands pick up the blood from my lips as they drip red, blue, black, and purple
I see my eyes as they puff up into black and my skin peels back into so many layers of rough edges

I wanted to be seen! Oh how I wanted to see the light of day! I wanted to feel the skin on my cheek.... I wanted to be seen in the light for what I am.

The stone wall held me back

The wall covered in roses took away my skin and gave me a different pair of eyes.

So I am looking at myself in the black water shielded by the sun, who is this body? What do these eyes want you to see?

They want you to hear the unheard and see what you can not.
This poem is about the pressure that society gives on us all. The wall represents the barrier between who you are and not. Society makes us feel very very small and very disposable. Especially girls. I want to feel empowered, but if my walk is surrounded by a stone wall I will be so conscious about my face, body, shape I will not be able to see myself in the light. Thank you for reading. I would love to hear what you think and if you would like me to read some of your poetry just tell me your username. Thank you and have a sunny year!

Ride into Far away Eyes
Leila Valencia May 2015
The belief she told me hurts
The wrongness of the wilderness moves me
The winter blend rounds me to our nostalgia
Painted eyes, Beauty roses, safeness guarded by painted eyes
Balloon strings tie us to the paradise city
Flowed us to a sitting garden of what we once were

Time ticks and sand licks the ground
Shadows deepen and the monster peels away
Beauty is sacrificing the petals can't dance to what they once were
My melody is so unsafe and may ties break

To the nostalgia of the innocence wakes
The blue skies break, flows in the shadows of grey
So long my childish ways
so long my childish love.

last night
Leila Valencia Apr 2015
A casual smile is scary
Unsure of the moment I wanted to seem coy
Looking through dark leaves

They see me once more
this is okay

Unfolding pages of our folded selves
I easily unwrapped pages and poured wine

I Stood into the light and watched them blow rings around the moon
He stood slicked back as his body pooled into his car a certain kind of blackness
Dancing on our shadows of doubt and immediate relief
It was apparent this was a shot to the Trail
and I was gone
Meeting a couple by Trakas Trail (PV) in the night. They were in their early twenties and they were shooting their bee bee gun at signs.  I had a fun time chatting with them.

sheer temperance
Leila Valencia Mar 2015
Like a poem made for devils
like a hanging tear that begs to halt until forgiven

The soured lips
the sun sipped mouths
scratch print to a sea of grass
Its sun tipped and drowned into everyone

The warp and the fast paced move.
Eyes will sound asleep into the blur

Dark Kisses
Leila Valencia Mar 2015
It's midnight
The blend of bad and wrong isn't tight
The cloth that I shield my eyes with is white
and I kiss you hard

Seductive to a length leaving me, blank.
Raunchy, but soft
My doubts should be stored in loft
But you're so sure I cant stop


Like a web crawled in my body
Leaving me hinged for one more kiss
I collapse like cards, I collapse into you
I star gaze into our night, black and blue

It was beautiful
Dark Kisses

When the time comes.
Leila Valencia Mar 2015
The howl for freedom is  preserved

The glass bird can splinter at any moment
The thick leash is obliged by humanity
(Freedom is payed for but not owned.)

Empty. Unsatisfied. Scared. Self consciouss.
The light will manifest on a rich man's golden tooth, not in your heart
The pressure to be someone is killing you inside
The rusting mold tool is worn down
Publicity is the one to blame.

The freedom of our minds
Our soul
Our body
Our heart
Our thoughts

This mini universe inside of us.
Has been scrambled at birth.

We live in a touched world where few are touched
These freedoms are no longer thought of as your own
Self Love is crashing.
Self hatred is green.
What do we own if we don't own ourselves?

Say what you feel; open
Then everything will become free
Don't ever hold back

Dim
Leila Valencia Mar 2015
Dim
The worrisome grin was long before gone
Her eyes were over her head at dawn
The light was alive in belief she'd love him

it was true her eyes saw a light ....
Love-It was for the first time, she felt him
But the dark came and midnight arose
She was the only one to blame

She was blinded by noise
Captured by fear, the dark would never leave


She was to afraid
The ring was left by his door in the morning dusk so dim
She would've loved him
what? Im feeling love, but I don't know where I love. Im lost in my heart and my head, but I can feel like something good will come, soon.

Fish scales
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Sublime blues
Midnight moon light
The hym of the abyss can find you.
(The siren calls for her prey tonight)


It was only  sinful lust
A robustly thick waist
A jar to slip blood.
She slips into fear of what she's done
(She dips her leg into water)

The water puffs black
The ripples are pacing quicker
A hiss is what she hears
(The night grows larger)

Her dark brown eyes form tears, chaos is here
She feels wrapped in a deformed arm
The panic wakes
The slick hands searches for her body
(The price she must pay)

She turns and prays
The scratch is so excruciating
She screeches 'save me lord'
The hand searches again
(The siren Digs in to take her down)

Her eyes will reflect the darkness
She screams for mercy
She begs for life
The hand hold her ankle and drags her
(She is drowning)

The kelp tangles her in darkness
Bubbles fall from her shaking lips
Her limbs are a stone blue
It was only a sinful lust
(She is slipping )

The fish tail wraps her body into an ocean cascade
Shells and pearl ornaments
The sea creature takes her soul and builds it with strength
(Her life is dieing but her eyes are changing)

She is no longer human
The sea has changed her vision
The siren hummed her to awake
She did not

The night of the frozen
The night of the mysterious
The night of the darkness

Her eyes awoke, finally
She startled the sirens to her
Piercing blue eyes

Eyes of the ocean sublime blue
I don't know but I thinking about starting a mermaid series. I love the idea of a sailor intrigued by the love of mystery and fleeting romance. This was not love it was more of letting go of your fear and setbacks and letting time wake you up to see what you believe in- through your own eyes.

Crunch
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Like speakisies
And wedding trees
Take me somewhere
Someplace hidden along your chest

Chimney puffs go round and round
Building signals ride along rigs
And pull at eachothers necks

Dim lit windows and wonder
Bleeding birds won't carry you tonight

Hynotize your lips I'm bringing company to settle this explosion

I'm dreaming up an eight wonder
It respects what you are
And needs to hear your noise

I can dream of a place you would call me for you

Realm of the night
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Impossible to wonder, fathom
Intriguing to write to
I wonder of her

White V neck. Silver necklace. Blue Jeans. Leather Jacket.

Blue eyes to see
beneath the belief
It's complete


A blasted window that shoots
The curtains flutter
Breathing a shot, the scale is bent
and your idea of wondering about her
Is reversed

A hall of chandeliers fill her ideas
A chord strung to length for sensibility
Out of place
It doesn't touch me it wonders me

Charming and sensitive, catches me off guard
A magnetism that effortlessly will mend in you
A simple caress a thought to cherish
It doesn't matter any where but here
together

Midnight Sweat. A touch. A smile

A lengthy smile of strung words
Like breathing into ocean air
A subtle belt that strung my eyes to lanes I never knew

Knew small and still wonder
Cross roads of our lives will merge forever
My dearest friend that I love with passion. I will never completely understand. Always is witty, smart, and beautiful. So kind she melts like ice, but so different you know her. Everything with her stands alone, but it shines alone. I'm so attracted to her uniqueness and passion to learning new things and she is always open minded. I'm in love with the idea of starting a new cupcake business together called "righteous Confections" which is the silliest and greatest dream. She is always moving forward and learning from her mistakes. I'm impressed by her everyday and many times I look to her. Standing by her is like a whirl of plenty and I can buzz to new wave lengths of myself. No one else makes me so angry and wonderful. There is no one I can be myself with in so many doses. She has become somebody everyone should strive for. A beauty to many and a diamond of charismatic charm. I'm proud of her every second. I will always believe in her. 
Our roads were destiny because everything about this relationship is beyond her and myself. We were put in to each others lives for a reason. A reason I love living for <3

Winter Bed, with you too
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Take this whirl
For instance a dream to grey
The fog is down
Filming. Taken. Sounding.

A hang glitz can surround your mouth
Like wondering fireflies
A deep coldness fills your breathe
Shuddering. Listening. Dreaming

A sudden sight will take your laughter
Mesh it into flakes
Take it and swirl it into chills
Turning. ******. sighting

A flicker is bending your nose
and moments cant stay in black
many stay in grey
Winded. biting. Shivering

The wetted feet entice your senses
The overall chap is sensing your want
A love is better off in the winter
I swear to it

Lying. Writing.
Winter
Does anyone else dream of the heavenly wintery love? It does exist we just have to search. Its only a matter of time before you will find the perfect winter love.

Dim Cresent
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Temple be sure and Temple be swollen
Temple be nimble Temple be sacred

Temple teach me love
Temple tear me down
Temple show me light
Temple bring me down
Temple sell my eyes
Temple bleed my veins
Temple Temple hear my screech
Temple sink me

Temple drink me
Temple shrink me
Temple blink me
Massacre my faith Temple release me
Flood me
Temple oh Temple
My heart is beneath me
My ego is growing. I want to be less about me and my conscious. I want to be less of my soft feeling and more of the massive touch of something bigger.

Glass Blower
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Imagine symbols
Imagine everyone

Long live your eyes
Pick your petals
Like sun drops

Imagine rocks
Imagine waves
Imagine you
Don't imagine me
(who are you)

You startle me like a window breeze
You scare me like a midnight howl
You see me like a small light
You know me like the spine on your back
You heard of me from the owl's noise
(Who are you, I want to)

I know of you and I know you well
Like a midnight veil I want you
I cant see you
Clearly its very concrete
My cloud is strung to my heart
And your steps are pulling me to your walk
My eyes wont  sleep my head is dumb
I'm lost in your walk
(I'm searching for you)

I don't know you
I'm stuck in my head today. I'm in love with someone I don't know, again. I want to know him. I want him to see me. I'm stuck in my head. I cant to anything.

I believe you are in my head
my stories are wonderful

You love me and I you
but it is not the same

I wake to realness and  your presence startles me
I realize my fantasy is a fleeting step from reality

it is you I made to believe you loved me
it is you I made to believe you saw me
it is you I made to believe you dreamed of me

And I will believe but you will never see

Cowboy song
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
A timber night in a dark way can't stay for long
plowed down, scorched down  - must be torn down
kings of city pipes, dusty concrete heirlooms, read a bible to sleep

Wake in the morning, sun rays shine through dust ridden books
Morals, condoned in heart shaped smoke clouds

Greed's arms will swell rejecting midnights' hiss' "Where will they live?"
'Sirrrrrrrr' 'Homeeee'...... Floating like gas particles, words lost.
A stand alone will die to unknown prosperity
ropes straggle helpless branches
Clenching their last breathes, the weeping skies sit silently

Hateful hateful hunger, feeding the bodies thirst

Our midnight Cowboy song goes: Manufactured green, leaving scorched earth barren, unwritten torch, unseen

For we saw what we wanted to.

I want to know what I can do
It doesnt feel like my time here is blending in me
I want to sleep, but I can shake my feet off the ground
I'm lost
(it becomes my soul)

Drawn into a world of hurt
I build a castle around this mind
It falls like petals
(it becomes my eyes)

Im drawn into wine and pouring
suddenly Im pouring everything
Nothing is left
(it becomes my bones)

Fickle at dawn fleeting at dusk
nothing stays
everything will vanish, but you didnt know
(it becomes my mind)

Believing inst a dream I could want
Loving is to far from this grain
Pushing into laces vases
(it becomes my ideas)

Unbalanced mind is a stretch of hate
(Im becoming my monster)

Desert Walk (Vast Love)
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
The kingdom I believe is within him

The night before last was the wind and it's sensations
I couldn't touch the grandness but I felt its nose peck at me with rays of swift fire
I didn't think the sand would bleed through my fists and the gold melted into my nails
(He was beautiful)


I was awake in another dimension asleep in a beautiful enigma of reality's hammock
The trees swiftly took me into the pyramids and strolled me into it's heaven and I couldn't laugh I couldn't lift, but in awe
My heart was thumping and my jaw was a quiver

Until, my lips were stale as he lounged on satin wire (my love is dyeing)
As he dove into his right fist his arms were wide
Until, the joy was unpleasing
and I couldn't lie around before I decided that I was to leave
The Nile was swift and fruitful
The lagoon was my midnight sensation

Dreams were further he was to close
I couldn't say the truth
The desert  embers on my teeth
And every bite I bleed a lie
I don't think I care anymore
(I should go)

He left with cracked diamonds and their flesh sparkling and my name was on either ring
I wringed for anything in us
but drops were nothing
The sizzle dissipates into air
Our burn was to simmer sometime  

( I will leave now)

Brisk Love
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Lady of the dusk
and form of the light
Brisk and solid
Stiff around night....
Behold her crevices sheer
So long her presence here
Hammered into shape
She melts to the touch

With a crown on her skull
and a dusty white gown never dull
children giggled in the snow that day
watery moon eyes looked above
into silence, frozen motion and they looked at her with love......

their imagination grabbed their hairs
the lady was a queen of Bel aire
with three hundred carriages
Gold tinted windows
and lavish gowns stitched into jewels,
soft voice, loved by some and feared by many
She was the ruler and empress
A warrior and fearless, but loving to all

Eyes among many but few could gather
A butterfly wing in immediate flight
Alluring and sharp many couldn't fall out,
She wrapped them in her arms

fingers sharp as teeth
suddenly the legs show a crack beneath
the sun is beaming, but the children aren't gleaming
the glisten they were dreaming is puddling around them
Flood of the night and storming warriors
Intruders catch her breathe and they soon seize the kingdom
Doomed and lost
the little girl imagines
She bleeds in the night with a crack in her eye

Their beloved snow queen, it was gone
Their imagination of her is alone
only crys and hushed goodbyes

Making Sense
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Many years I’m touched it’s not enough
I’m involved, but I have not evolved
(I think I’m locked inside my head, but acting outside my desires)
Desires our fires, but embers have not fulfilled
A wake in the bend and soon the light will emerge in the ripples
(I think I’m learning I’m my lead)

Pleasing is displeasing, look at me now
I’m living fiction because to please everyone will never satisfy
(I think I’m learning I’m so different)

The light is manifesting and the waves are turning
Drop of light in a lens, I see myself through the lens
(I’m learning what I want from me, not somebody, but me)

The light in the tunnel is airy, but sharp in rays
A laser is pointing at love; Mysteriously, I’m in love
(I’m learning that my desires are unique- make me, my own)

It came one day, on a stage; music pranced through
A note boggles in me, and shakes my soul- it’s art
Writing, music, philosophy, ideas, and beauty
And I was soaked, in green;  
(I’m learning that I desire a musical life not a pleasing one)
Don't live for anyone but yourself

Deeper
Leila Valencia Feb 2015
Every breathe that bubbles
I'm catching new colors of blue

Every blink that freezes
I'm winding into a perplexing awe of tranquility

Every lip that's bitten
I'm curious for flashes that scurry under shadows

Every hand that hovers
I'm breaking through floating shattered glass

Every leg that flutters
I'm slipping into the kingdom under the sea

Every beat that passes
I'm sinking into curved arches and
Rock tunnels

Every eye that peeps
I'm glancing for winded blankets of kelp

Every lash that sticks to plastic
I'm anchoring my breathes into my lungs

Then push push push,
It's gone
A fantasy under your feet
Fleeting and momentary
A kingdom under the sea

— The End —
