You mess with my mind,
Time and time again.
I'm tired of playing
A game I can't win.

I lose every time,
But I keep coming back.
For your love makes me forget,
All the good that you lack.

you touched me

We spoke in tongues that day,
Your fingers trailed my body like
a harlot skimming through the bible finding her daily grace.

The Sun, her majesty, jealous of the
nervous heat that fought for a moment of breath between your satin body and my scarred chest.

Did you know that I almost cried?
Because your touch was everything I feared the most.
Your touch was confidence, maybe love.
It hurt.

We don't speak the same language anymore,
For your fingers,
are too holy for mine.
About a friend, with whom I shared the whole of me. But didn't care.

Forgive me for my mistakes
for all the times I messed up

Forgive me for your pain
for all the times I caused it

Forgive me for my little mistakes
that of course you also have made

But what you will never say to me is

Forgive Me.

Your words passed down to your line of girls
they take in every breath you breathe and try to please you.
Side by side you all walked passed me
ignoring my tears and blood from my scars as they stream down my body

trying to brush me off your shoulder
trying to make sure I noticed you not noticing me
This didn't last a day
this didn't last a week
This situation fades into today.
2 years later.

I may have made mistakes
but you never admitted you did

I may have given you a minute of pain
but you gave me 2 years of it

Forgive me for trusting you again
forgive me for being unstable
forgive me for my scars on my arm that you clearly see...but you will convince yourself that you never caused them

But please...forgive me for trying to make you say...

Forgive me.

Your flaws are like stars to me
because I see them in your darkest moments,
I see them when the sun has set
and the night starts to whisper the truths
that you refuse to hear,
and I see them when the sky is clear
from thundering rain clouds.
But you hate the stars at night
and the only star that you learned to love is the sun,
as if its rays are going to love you
for the whole day,
when only it can meet you halfway.
Believe me when I say that,
like luminous bodies in space,
your flaws look beautiful to me.
And I don't want them to go away
because then the sky would be dark,
empty,
honestly boring,
and I wouldn't be able to write this love poem,
trying to appreciate the perfect manner
of your imperfections
by comparing them to something
that is literally out-worldly.

I love the stars
and I love you.

dear friend
I hope the sun shines so bright it lightens your soul
I hope the night is the only darkness you ever have to feel again
I hope the love you receive showers you with strength and courage to stand taller than everyone
The lips you feel tell you the story you've been waiting to hear all along
Dear friend,dear flesh,dear soul,dear cup of coffee
I hope the joy you feel keeps growing and blossoms within_

The Haywire
I stare at the blank page for long
Can't muster the courage to be strong
And write freely what my heart desires
But somehow turn towards the fleet of liars

Why! Why I ask, they tell me I'm not good enough
How! How am I supposed to learn to be tough
There is always this feeling nagging me in the back of my head
That I'm not even good enough to write for the dead

Then I turn towards those friendly species
My dog, my frog and my writing desks
I hear them encouraging me to write
And tell me it's so much better than to strive

I've decided I'm not going to listen to those fools
Neither their criticizing tone nor the conniving tools
And this is what a writer's dilemma is all about
To write from the heart and not listen to the world's bout
