Clash
Leila Valencia Apr 2019
Every turn, I take...

I felt the trench of heaving suddeness
I felt the simple rush, to rush

I felt a clash!
With wants, and following the flow
And no;
They are not aligned

One is sacrificing, one is true
And it's exasperatingly terrifying

To listen intently

Rounds of Gold
Leila Valencia Sep 2015
Dimmest tights of all
The wolf behind the streets
Beneath a visage of grandeur lay a meadow of gray
Sit, Sweet Dear I only please you to stay
As the dusk turns to night, the dust begins to collect
The cob webs of falsehoods begin to string out further
Oh sweet! Oh dear!
It didnt take long for the dripping crested diamonds to pound into my ears.
As if a night of silk is better than the cotton of truth
And the chandelier is a flies trap am I the fly?

I scurry and buzz, Leap and fall on the ground
I wake up, but these thoughts were only a dream.
This is me when I got caught up in someones wealth and status. Their education, and other factors got in the way of the person. I was caught up in their materialistic achievments and things that I didnt pay attention to their personality.

Gongs
Leila Valencia Apr 2016
Swinging in a pale motion
Flying back and forth mellow, in motion
Booming with each, every foot step

Each moment I awake to your presence
Pang!
The wind picks me up
Bang!
Sweeping me forward
Every swing is in motion with chaos
with in the mellow confines of my strung out heart

A hallow spark
Waiting for a filling.
Maybe it's time to...
Gong!

A mind unable to think with the echoed ring
Bringing her to sleep
In a hallow wedge in the earth's crust.
Beginning to write about the beauty of bells, but became a little more thoughtful when I started to write.

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.

Truths
Leila Valencia Jun 2016
In nights hymns of reflection of betterment we stick stemmed to the roots
Tasting drops hung from its very branches
Suckling safely tucked truths before our gallows torment tempting the untruth.
Where must we speak?
I believe these untruths hold us wearily before we feel like thousands of acres of horses stampede on our soul.
Must they have a name?
Hidden beneath such a budging burden is an empty chest of looming crates casting us out
Can we fill our emptiness with what we desire is a whole in our truest destinies?

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.

Where is this All Going
Leila Valencia Mar 2018
It felt so disappointing
To have

All I knew

Become something so distant.

So strong, so intensely -- like there was nothing that could stop me.
Nothing that could show me another way

And I felt so
Sadly, truthfully fallen
So broken

------ I could not speak ----

And every where I look the voice
inside me says
stay

But I felt so small. Something felt so wrong
So I asked
What do I do.

And nothing -- but you said to you --
Get through it all.
Just live
Just pass
Just go

And my head, my mind. This idea
Inside.
This reality
Where am --------------
I/////


The blank spaces. the intense thought, become
nothing
everything/
something

I am falling
Or am I diving
???

still I say -
I lost it all
in one night


I have never felt
so empty

yet so full
When I try to contemplate the changes, the things I want to do. I try to rationalize what is going on in my head. Yet, I must learn to not overthink every moment and go with the flow.

City Breathes
Leila Valencia May 2016
The Windows shivered
My frosted bitten lips quivered
By the nightly glow
Of the lonely stars wandering below
And as I sit and ponder
My open mouth wanders
Closes gently and sealed with a whisper of reminiscence

I sit, listening
The urban wetland glistening
Marshy lush - hidden by nighttime brush
The crooked smile widened as I sit with an open mouth of optimistic love
Watching the city through your window

Can not Close a Door
Leila Valencia Oct 2017
Maybe never.

The sound of a bird flutters, ahhh.

Maybe someday.
Maybe someday I would tell you it's not there....
Maybe I wish I knew the never - the forever - all coming together like a crystalline kaleidoscope.

Maybe I don't know - maybe I do - I can't tell.
And if you asked me, maybe I would scream. Maybe I would laugh.
Maybe I would fall into something I would never understand.

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)

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.

A Flower's Mind
Leila Valencia May 2016
Blooming moments
Moments, granted, flowing endlessly
Seamlessly touching....
Green lips touch you, gently
Hearts of gold surround thy mind
Blooming trees, always blooming
The mind around comes again - blooming, fuller, lighter - wiser
Growing into your skin. Learning new ideas

Reliving in Motion
Leila Valencia Aug 2016
Shut slowly. Inch, inch - quietly careful
Tirelessly weary
Ever so close yet seemingly distant

Before air could Not pass, a slight crooked hand slips through the seal
The eyes believe its a welcoming shake, so opening - inch, inch
It's gilded gleam deludes, the captured gaze. Ones Hypnotized.
Before you could open your eyes....

The charred hand covered in scars of the past shakes yours.

Do feelings come fast?
Hatred burns inside?
Do you recoil from the truth?

The past the present. Works the same. Yet if you let it, the past will hold - from the present....
Always, when your door inches towards you, Close your eyes and..... Shut!
Needing to move forward but something from the past is holding you back

Grip
Leila Valencia Jan 2017
The tightest grip on a loose tether string

I want to lose control
Be in control
How can they happen twice - at once?

I feel you, I see you, and its pounding.
I'm pounding.
And I can't lose myself, I can't lose control.
Oh You -  and how I stand alone again.

And when I do, lose control, I lose you.
But I need to lose control to get you.

Do I know what to say, do?
How to act....
How to feel...
I want to stay away.
I want you to stay away.
Or I may lose control, and I mean control over my senses

Yet, I need to stop worrying about controlling you or me.
Controlling how I want everything to happen.
You to happen,
Me to feel

So let it flow, free fall, tumble and take its wave.
Tumble on the shore, and pull back into the current - once more, it splashes down on the wet sand
And each curvature in the wave is so different, pushed by wind, and shaped by geography
And each push and pull towards you, should flow
As I realize this, I may lose my grip

And release
When you feel so vulnerable around someone you have strong feelings for and you want to not feel this way because you hate the feelings of losing control of yourself and your emotions.

Crawl

You I think of,
In every shape, form, wish.....

There it is - Your shadow is attached to the wall
And as I peel back, I could not find you,
The consequence of my bleeding nails...

I scratched, and clawed for you, only to see my own reflection
Of my mind.
When someone can not get out of your mind

Hanging Low
Leila Valencia Apr 2016
The sun hangs low
Hanging over your head
Touching your cheekbones
The darkness is pulling you back
The craters of the moon are as steel as stone
A shot in the dark
Nervous hands make this task not a lark
The fire in your heart pounds
Pulsating your veins, within your ears echoing a thumping sound

As you arch your back
Sweat trickles down your arms
Your mind goes blank, you’re ready to attack
Every breathe, the fire swirls
Igniting a spark of light into the dark, an apple appears

The sweetness of light will appear in every dark spot
As the arrow bounced through the darkness the apple shattered
Shattered light. The lightness will succumb to darkness.
A fight you should not fright.
Drawing an arrow towards your light, yet coming into darkness

Grasp
Leila Valencia Jun 2017
Can it be held?

The moment. The determination. The moment above you, turned to dust.

The determination like arrows thrown your forehead....

How long does it last?
The fires turns to embers so quickly
The flame is blown - out.

A swirling, beating intensity like tribal drums
Will it be switched?
Passion

Can it last....
Can it sit...
for Eternity so you do not have to grasp for evaporating dust
Holding onto ones passion and desperately holding on.

Ponder

I feel as though my life is ending
Must I say so, think so, feel something so wrong?
Am I?
Do I know when there is a beginning?

Do I know?
Beginning at a point - ending at a line

Do I know what it feels like to triump ?
To honestly lose ?
To succeed or to fail ?

Should I?  Will I ?

Do I wish to shoot cuspid's bow and arrow? Will I? Could I ?
I have never left my target out.
But will a change in heart occur?

Will I change?

Unsettling
Leila Valencia Dec 2015
In another dimension in a little glass I am screaming at you
Telling you to look the other way
See the other one
The sound of time is prohibiting me to speak

I can see you need me. I was you earlier
I am watching you and I am crying
Watching you let go of your grip
Turning the other cheek
And feeling afraid to speak up

I know the ending but not enough wind, rain or sun will change you
Im watching you waiting
Fantasizing, dreaming, and feeling
But not doing

The grip of temptation grabs you down
You make the wrong choice and with my view I cry
I am so frustrated because you were one click away

The natural forces  of earth will not weave this union
I am afraid my time is up
You now know what you must do
I am afraid I was to late
feeling distant from life
Leila Valencia Aug 2016
Breathing, inhaling
The moments jumbled like pieces of scrap.
A  crisp summer's night growing into faintness... Electrify
Shivering in bliss, tempting in wander
Shocking veins with icy fire blending fear, and passion - in a single ...
Beat.

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

Beginning
Leila Valencia Feb 2017
Nervous tick, like a beating drum, thumping, dumping.....

Pouring, waves, into your chest, waves of pure blue.

And electricity shoots through like a power surge
A fluttering heart cracks open ideas, waves of amazement
And dreams of vulnerability
And dreamers of fleeting ideas, caught in one giant (tornado)

Always a mess, undressed - eyes of green, blue, sage, summer days - wasting away

Are the feelings reciprocated?

Until a physical touch, is no longer caught in the distance. Until a physical touch is mentioned in your prescience

And all your tornados became storms of grey, black, and darkness shrouded your thoughts until you were touched with hesitancy.... with consistency.... with assurance

Roll

So there again -
In minutes
Falling deeply

So intensely, so
Wildly so, so
Graciously so

And although
The night exhausts my bones,
The lightest, faintest glimmer of sunshine

Blinds my mind into nothingness
Into an ever falling, enfolding
Gripping, releasing
Tease of the
Eyes
When you look into someone’s eyes and time ceases to exist

Why is the world so unemancipated

have leaves Fallen yet branches stay covered
the knowledge of life,  hidden.
may we know?

The treatment. suffering. Life unattained.
when may we know?

those who choose to live a life that many wish to stray
those who live their truth - others live.

The leaves bristle.  One day I shook the tree.
spontaneous leave fell.  I walked away.

May those who fall know to never stay.
let the wind blow away - you and your roots

Some, will hold. But Blow Away. Release.

That is the life where Freedom Reigns
Stop to live a life held by taught expectations. Blow away - anew

My mind is looking
For an answer.

You.

Me?

I'm not sure anymore. Because,
When I look up, there you are.
And I..... lost it.
Those thoughts that make me - an individual.
Those thoughts that me me - unique.

........... End so quickly - with you in my presence.

My own being - lost.
My own mind - lost.

..........You can be too much.
To many thoughts, emotions, ideas for my being to
Handle.

And I am losing what I need.
Who I need to be.

- One Day, I will not need question marks (?)
One Day, I will not need last minute calls...
- One Day, I will not need confusion
One Day, I will not fall so deep into my delusion
And I will not hold onto a faint, loose, illusive - idea

To be in your presence -
I will, one day, not feel the need to be beside you -
Because I hope.

You're are no longer a hope......

And I will stand with my own two feet -
strong!
I will be planted in my own being, not hoping - for an idea.
I will be brave!

And I no longer wait for strength from other's before I ask it from myself.
I will no longer wait for their question marks to become my ideas of romance.
I will no longer wait for an idea
I will become the idea - of who I am meant to become

So I will never lose again.
Trying to make sure you take care of yourself before you let a day-dreaming mind become to strong.

So you did, listen.
And winds - blew me over.
And waves ****** me in.
And you did, hear me.

And you did, see me.
And all the stars collided - once and for all.

The ands, and ands.
Coming in unison - coming together.
The moment is the vase, the bowl, the pool of collections of moments
All rushing, together.

And I see how you cared, over and over and over.
Now, over and over and over,
one moment is the collection of how you - saw, believed, hear, watch, care.... how you want me,

How I want you

And a moment is not what is one moment

The moment is, now, how everything before and everything in the future is making this moment seem greater and
Larger.....
More, you look beautiful.

The lady by the sea
Solemnly gazing at the broken keys

Closing her eyes to hear the rise
The lady by the sea
Playing by silence

The waves wash in symphonies next to her keys
The lady by the sea
Grinning, chuckling, buckling, and shuffling next to me

The lady by the sea
Hidden by the reflecting moon light
In her corner, genius lay
In her corner, the shining day
In her corner, simplicity remains

In silence my memory claims
The lady by the sea

Clover hands grasp
Temptation a las
Come, my oasis paradise
The blooming golden age
The calamity of beauty
Can you Dream of brisk lavender petals?

My hands covered in sequins
My mouth gorges chocolate towers

Once, the moon set
Once, a bottle collided with the wind
Once, my rope lifted
Once, I ran

Surrounded,
Yet free
My society in shambles
I'm tasting the bittersweet reality

I feel a poignant lover behind me
Blissful hatred - starry night filled with threats
Crowded in an empty space
Shut ourselves in
Distance perceived
My oasis of loneliness perceived
Feeling lonely, yet you live in abundance, love, light, and happiness, you still do you not feel satisfied.

Nightfall in this hellish warehouse
The burrowing hen stuffs its face in hay
the stallion snuffs at the pole
the branches break as the gliding door opens

your bundle of midnight dew collecting at your throat
Your feel as though the barn animals and the horses do not feel your pain
they can only soothe it.

Now said, yet still talking
Leila Valencia Jul 2016
I thought I could nestle by your side
Could it be, that my hands touch your side, but infested
Tangled inside the swelling smell - festering a volcanic catastrophe
What we're taking as I touch each particle - what could've been blissfully ignorant now I can not brush by in darkness

Taking as we will, selling as we must
Concocting a planet that can can only bustle and bust
As we strain every purity and inject every man made chemical
What must we burn before the world will concave and fall?

Could it be the genetic machine work inside
Or to follow ultimatum authority and deny
The forest of green burning as we've never seen
The Closed door populous unaffected they seem, to see the unseen
The growing earthly hazard kept closed and quiet, closed tight, sealed, and slipped under the door
Until thousands slain, diseased ridden, suffering, crying no more, or....

Now, look it in the face, look it in the eyes growing sturdier inside
Growing cautious, concerned, with a stern eye to those who deny
Don't take a full 'no' don't take a full 'yes' open the library with prying eyes
Look for yourself, your words are the purest, your thoughts, your actions, your ideas - to be anyone else isn't impactful, purposeful or sincere
From now on, make your actions clear
You're built on your actions - isn't that clear?


I can not ask for you to hold me in such weak arms
Could it be, the first time, you need our arms to hold you up
Tidal waves of resistance, but persistent I will be
In living the green side, living inside of me

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.

Gracious

Heaven's drops of gold crystallized
Smeared like fairy dust
Speckled puncturing wings float
Spinning on a top
Hung by the wind wires
Carrying a drop of sugary splurge  
Giving to all
All, near

As the green lush opens
Caresses the smooth shadows in the morning dusk the tired wings wake
Flapping  
Floating, as one peacefully
Gained momentum
To reach the peak, then she flapped..

To sprinkle dust of the heavens
Down to those.

Asking for none in return

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!

Darkest Blue

We care, so we care, so we do
My teeth creamed in beach blue
I'm cramming my head inside your deep hue
I care enough, creamed colored star

I dream your honey dew floats like specs into my view
Deep honey hue, my darling true
Care for me, as I care for you
Hypnotic dreams casting, smoldering smudged in your sensual kind
Carelessly drifting past my window seal's crack

Alas covering me, sorely drowning me in you, yet so serene comfort
Your deep blue, tight and bound, grazing above
Inching closer, opening, waiting

The self walls of the hidding, scrambled in brick, your gradual tear, I shine in your sheer bright blue
When someone has a deep hypnotic effect on you. You cant quite pin point the effect, but they make you feel calm, collected, and cool

The end of a symphony
See. The glow, the permanent
Hidden code
Showed, what I feel in hieroglyphics
My love will not show
Will not breathe, stand close, or far
Below, ago, you may know
My love can not show
What I cover. What Skin I wear, a visage, but truthfully a disguise of my truest feelings.

Blowing Circles
Leila Valencia Oct 2016
We come and go, going far out

When we enter our vessel..... we fall - deep into the darkest abyss, but all seems light by day
When we fall and grow in ourselves, we constantly run - all around a quiet star

We lock our chests inside a wall
We  stain flowers in our garden
We burn every paper - containing evidence of our manifestation

And I sit inside my own, waiting to burn inside

The life I live and its perilous surrounding - came circle again, once again

And the burning became an amber - crystallizing as stone
Holding back from your passion in life, waiting for that passion to come, then realizing you have such limited time - it's important to decide what we will leave behind - what will our legacy be?

Hello, My name is Nym
I'm not sorry for what I have done
I'm not afraid for what I have done
It is who I am
I shall not fade away in your searing presence
For I shall be the beam of light
When your hope has been nothing but vanished
A young girl, who does not feel slightly defeated.

Blissful Oneness
Leila Valencia May 2016
The hollow nights pumps their bristles
Coming close, potentially touching
You've held on, maybe, honest leaves fall

Honest.

The crescent wane shivers, shakes, below the bristles come near, piercing, hopefully the noise collapsed
Or it stays in the night

Pitch dark.

The ground floor hides sorrow, My head will listen
To Night noises before talk of quiet idleness washed away.
In the night.

Flicker
Leila Valencia Apr 2016
A flit of the wrist in her eyes
Flickering like stars in the night
Less to do with fear, the curiosity of a different view point
Kept her sleeping in the forest
Green grass stains last on this girls jeans. Young, curious, and passionate and innocent the world is bright and resplendent.

Even though
Leila Valencia Jun 2019
I loved him,
Even though I said, "no more"

Even though, I took a stand

I still love him

I see into him,
His desire
Awakened my desire
And my desire

Became our desires

But, a long distance away
A time away,
A thought (that became too many thoughts)
Too many thoughts, alone
Became fearful forces
That forced and forced to find pleasure

Yet, emptiness in this loneliness became the only outcome

Of being so far away
Gave positive contemplation
With the mixture of insane

...Over-contemplation

And still, I love him
I think I always will
I think, I always have
I have always loved you

There is a time;

When All,

FallS...

A time when;
our true character-
.....
What we say we are -
Who we think we are -
Who we want to be -
What we want to do -
.....
Is tested.

The time,
When the chills.
The darkness...
Keeps us inside.

And it’s the greatest - the worst - the scariest - it can be a transformational period.

And it’s a time where loneliness wanders...
The superficiality of the summer is all but vanished.
As the daylight dims....

The time,
When
death seems
..Closer...
Than before.

The time,
When
My heart
..feels lost..
More than before

The time,
When...
When............


the last leaf falls.
An ode for the winter time. It’s a bit somber, a bit meloncholy. But, I thought a nice winter poem would be a great way to truly capture the feeling of the season.

Hypnotic
Leila Valencia May 2016
Dancing at waters edge
Alone, afar, a dream apart
Hypnotizing ripples, seemlisly
Blackened sky hangs, hopelessly

Its canvas unavoiding speckleded spots chuckle
You chuckle back - knowing your eyes have met their pieces of above

Grip
Leila Valencia Apr 2016
Her chair by the grandfather clock
Creaked with ticking and tocking - a moment awaits
She grips her hands softly
Her furrowed brow creased and squinted a moments memory
The pillows of green lounged and her lover caressed her golden locks

1964

In memories of black and white his arms carried her
She carried him with her
In plushness, her cheeks puffed, her lips puckered
Her blue eyes gleaming vivaciously
As the waving goldness of yellow and orange waved back and forth
Leaning their backs towards the eye of the sun
The couple gleefully, held on to one another

Hours turned over into days - passing by time
They gripped tight on to eachother.
Moving in they moon danced to the stars
Sleeping in their hammock
Yet she felt him loosen with ease
The flower by their sink rotten and cumbled into oblivion
She cried for days yet they held on to each other

The mail man comes early today.....

She heard him cry
The foreboding of death crawled into their home, unexpectedly
The grim fate had him pulled him away
Cut loose and shield our touches - his departure to the battlefield

His flights leaves and time is the hourglass
She recalls the night of his departure vividly

6:34 - Fighting

6:41 - Screaming

6:45 - All of the kitchen ware is shattered

6:53 - Him gluing the parts together

7:00 - Making love

7:39 - Him walking down the street waving

7:45 pm - Lights out

Current Day

Every day sitting
Lights out
Sipping white wine in a tea cup - awaiting a knock

The slow creak of her door opens
Opens ever so slightly, yet she sees a tall shadow
She steps up, puts her cup down and sees someone

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

Burnt
Leila Valencia Apr 2019
Im now 20,

and sympathize those in the same age category as me

----

The painful

insanely, mechanical yet dizzying push to be

--something --
titles, names, high status nothingness
Yet, we search

every corner we turn to
say
Is this it?
Security, Purpose, a treasure trove of possibility
find me - you - me - you see?
Did you land here on my lap, perfectly?

Today this is it
But, then Tomorrow blows up
Like an a unpredictable field mine.
In my precious heart, that thought it knew
it was right, right?

And this pressure crushes me
And somedays I feel so lonely

Yet, this insane pressure
To be this mold
And hold this space to be a list
And the uncertainty
Unfamiliarity
It literally crushes me
In it's silence, yet ferocious noise that pounds in my skull

The wild voice,
It drives us insane,
And drains me with this internal pain

That 'I will never be enough'

That....

--money, not enough
-- my schooling, not enough
-- my experience, not enough
-- my materials, not enough
-- my social circle, not enough


And this pain of enoughness is stuffing me with fear
So I try to turn every direction
Scattered, and seared with this
Deep insanity to grab it all

Yet, we sometimes fill ourselves with doubt
that pushes us to a dangerous, unforgiving - edgde

Yet, after being broken down by the day
vulnerablity blossoms
Honestly, I say - where do I go?

Now?

I search, plea, beg..
I grip tightly,
asking - pleading for guidance
Being 20 is exciting, yet hard.

Dreamers Dungeon Trap
Leila Valencia May 2016
In love, in love, and in love again
As friend of such a woman
A friend who cares,

dares to ask where I stand... I stand upon ones heart

Cracked moon light spots blotched with hot spots
Coarse detachments between your thoughts
And my rationale
I speak..... Do I speak ?
To you ?
The truth is so painful.... To you

Buried beaneath you and crying hums alone and patched with agony as you trickle away
Each day your face.... Sheds it's grace, love - youthful taste and play, I'm a stranger to your soul

As I leak my heart on your guarded shield, I crumble to your insistence
It's the 'one'
Bust their just playing a game
Only to play you until you wither away

It's clear - their care lasts like the wind
Finding someone you like, but they seem to use you

Whisper
Leila Valencia Mar 2016
Bodies of celestial beings
Beaming inside brimming with glistening specks close enough to touch but far enough to gaze
A whisper touches your arms
It pecks, breathes, creeps on the crook of your neck

She's the whisper of every wind
Every few drop
Sliding down your cheek
Held into a crystal
Hung against the illuminating sun
Rays spreading on a rainbow
