I surrendered my senses
to every word
that left your mouth
and landed
on my lips
silencing
all sense
of doubt

Putting pen to paper
slowly
                              serenades my nerves
and carefully
                              caresses my insecurities
to make me mindfully
                              and mindlessly
fall
for
every dent
the words put
in my chapter
Maria Etre Oct 2020
I have developed the need to rely
on dramatic events

Can my muses
be revolting with my sisters
while my pencil carves
its sorrows
on papers
wet with tears?

My country is at war.

I tend to give people
their own story
in my stories
I give some halos
and others horns
for
the truth
seems too

for me
sober is meant to be (un)sober

There are scenes
I'd like to rewind
some delete
others re-shoot
ones to work on
in post production
shots to subtitle
some record  
and others
replace
to finally watch
it like a movie
Maria Etre Jul 2017
I lay you on my lips
you burn me
out of breath

I kiss you
intermittently
inhaling
all the satisfaction
I can take

I catch my breath
in between  
till you finish
by signing my lips
with that little
burn
that keeps me
wanting
more
dear cigarettes

What a word
It is deep enough
and when said
at the right time
it changes the narrative
paths, worlds, hearts...

"LIKE"
Not only are we similar
but the emotions
the word has are light and heavy
enough to show the likeness, laced with love,
with a heartbeat, a mind-beat

And adding the word "wise"
Oouufff
you have to be wise
to use the word likewise -
because for you to be
similar you are at that mental wit
to say it, feel it, think it

"I (insert emotion) you so much"
"likewise"

Now,
that's a game-changer
Maria Etre Jul 2017
If my hands
knew no limitations

papers would

Catch me before
the cusp of dawn
and I'll show you
how I can
blur the lines
between your dreams
and my reality
and make
your days

Every time
you run your hands
across my body
you melt a layer
of bashfulness
to reach
my raw core
that one
that roars
with you
&
for
you
About confidence in one's skin with the other

It's like I summon the universe now
we talk at night
meet for coffee
and sometimes
he surprises me
when I think he doesn't listen

Imagine if rain fall
made sound
when it hit the surface
the world

Maria Etre Oct 8
I can't keep my
mind shut
and my heart
quiet
for the key
to locking them
got lost
the day
I learned
that,
"all is fair in love
and war."
Lebanon is at war, bombs in the South and the North - the sonic booms, the smoke, the shaking of houses has taken its toll on how poets feel.
Maria Etre Sep 2016
Some remain
pouring emotions
involuntarily
giving, providing

Some embrace
some comfort
with no conditions

Some stay
regardless, they care
they kiss,
their minds and hearts
join forces to soothe the world
between, within

Some calm
aid, make a presence
some are here
and stay here

They love

Some eyes glisten
hands sweaty
uncontrolled smile
I don't know what it is

Some look
it's not any look
it's a look that floods
your vision with your view
that center of attention

Some giggle
it's the butterflies
they flutter in your stomach
their untamed nature
makes its way to your face
your mouth
your mind

Some fall
into a rabbit hole of your own
through a colored tunnel
that colors your vision
giving you rosey glasses
providing your with a new perspective
a new view, a hue that you and only
you enjoy

Some fall in love!

Let me fall in love
with love
and imagine
the kind of world
around me
that seduces you
to explore
just a bit more

Fall in love with me
and lets love
the fall
with a love
being
in
love
Someone told me
"love looks at decent
ones "

I nodded, sighed, and smirked
but love
made me
like
this

Unleashed my curls
broke my walls
shattered
my people-pleasing
sharpened my poetry
silenced my loud voice
widened my eyes
encouraged my heart
undressed my façade
made me dance naked
in the face of judgement,
sing the songs of truth
and fall in love with
all things wrong
right, left, ugly, beautiful
and gave strength
to the choice that
always stood in the back
but now takes center stage

"Love left me right",
"Love leaving, made me write"
I replied
*Right, write!
Maria Etre Oct 2018
I ask you one favor
to be naked
with your
emotions
the way
I am
with you, in front of you
and the night stars
when the time comes and I cannot but  show you
what I feel and
when my voices loses it's way
and my words forget
how to express
Maria Etre Jun 2018
It's insane

I know..
it's wrong

It drives me mad
this tornado inside
vibrating my heart
palpitating my breaths

It dwindles my body
to a state of trance
within a trance
within a trance

My eyes close
my mouth smiles
have I truly gone mad?

A song plays
it's the soundtrack to my hazy daydreams
the ones that are so good
you could feel them again
you get light-headed
you get dizzy
oh day-dreams, little shots of sweet escapes

My eyes drift
beyond the obvious or even through them
wait, have I been drugged?
My body is feeble, the tornadoes
caused a mess, even Mary Poppins and her perks couldn't fix

Sleepless nights
drowsy days
what a mess indeed
sober work days
intoxicated nights
yet that stupid smile
those silly day dreams
Darling, I think
I have really gone Mad
Maria Etre Jan 2018

For all the time I have lost being busy
the universe looked down
pause the world
and said,
"Go, make up for what's lost
"busy" was never considerate."

It was a fleeting moment

There is a certain

You blind
your sight
with this
veil of expectations
but..
little do you know
that when I remove
it and kiss you
reality just tastes
sweeter and
sometimes
a bit sour
Maria Etre Jul 2017
It takes trial and error
to master the art
of keeping my flame
burning

and once you do
you'll learn
to fall in love
with fire

even if it
burns
Maria Etre Jan 2020
It's fine to ask for more
when you have nothing to lose.

If your brain was sane
would it push me against the wall
on the ***** stairs of my street
and kiss me drunk

If your brain was sane
would it defy all the bombs
of "no's" and escape the quiet
mines that lie beneath
that playground
of buried
"i think i
love you"

Why is it goodbye

love

You dot the i's
and call yourself  
modern day romeo
coming to sweep me off my feet
coming to zap my heart
with lightening bolts
of awareness
awareness of you

Yet you never once
told me a poem
melted my heart with haiku's
or moved me with impossibilities

Never once has it occurred to you
that capulets and montagues don't click
because you always had your way
you're a modern day romeo
full of narcissistic poison
melting off your logic
revealing every chiseled muscle
that you think
will make your Juliets
melt

Oh romeo, romeo
where for art thou?
Show these modern newbies
the ways of articulation
the ways of seducing without the flesh
the ways of making eyes glow

oh romeo,
where for art thou
for the romance
I seek
is long
forgotten
Maria Etre Jul 2020
Our conversation
turned to quotes
in someone else's
Pinterst
Maria Etre Jul 2016
I hate you
she screamed at the mirror
I hate every ounce of you
settling on my love handles

I hate you
she yelled
I hate how you redden my cheeks
with health

I hate you
she clawed at her reflection
I hate how I am not beautiful
the way beautiful is supposed to be

I fu$%ing hate you
as she clenched at her hip bones
I hate how they don't protrude
because that's pretty, right?

I abhor you
as she fell on her knees
wrapping her thighs with both hands
hoping they'd meet, or just touch

I hate you
for harboring calories
in my thighs and belly

I hate you
for making me feel
like an elephant in a room
full of boney barbies

I, don't know anymore
she cried
I am taking it out
at the one thing
that keeps me alive

I just know I hate you
Maria Etre Oct 2017
Satisfaction
never laid itself
on a silver platter

As long as I am human
in front of that platter
as long as I will
always ask for
more
more-ness
