Let me love you
From afar
From way back here
In this dark
In this cold
I won't hold
On to you
I'll let you go
I'll stay right back here
Froze
You are put on Earth, for a very short time.  Will you sit idly by, or will you use your mind?  
Why not contribute, to make this world a better place.  What are your plans, to give to the human race?
Remember not to drag your feet, time is moving fast.  The things you choose to do today, make sure you make them last.
Life is short, so work while it is day.  Be sure to encourage those around, and be careful in what you say.  
Life is short, so do the best you can.  Use what you have been given, use what's in your hand.

Syndicate!

Venezuela.
A land of ghosts.
Where cell phones die.
Undetectable.
As families cry.
For their lost loves.

Hostages taken.
Vanish into night.
For minimal ransom.
Ransoms paid by families of wealth.
Abductees murdered.
Rarely returned.
Hostage takers.
Rarely caught.
In this land of class distinction.
Tension builds.
Some.
The lucky ones get taken from the avenues.
Taken to the ATM.
Where their bank accounts are drained.
Given drugs then dumped again.


Caracas homicide rates high.
Ransoms paid and men still die!
In this dark land where crimes flies.
Never solved in this land so corrupt.

My tired body
Doesn't need sleep
My tired body
Needs a warm embrace
My tired body
Needs a gentle kiss

Then maybe
I'll sleep

I want you to remember
That to write
Is to express yourself,
The flicks on your n's
And the loops on your f's
Show me the inner workings of your mind.
When she sent that letter,
There should have been tears on the page,
You should have been able to see
The corners had been folded and torn,
And the paper was *****, crumpled,
And covered in coffee stains.
You couldn't see any of that, though,
Because she chose to send it to you
In the form of a small series of lights,
Accumulated on a screen
To mimic a cold,
Soulless version of herself.
Maybe it's because she didn't want you to know
What was actually going on.
Oh the irony :P to be fair this is a copy up of a handwritten poem!

Sometimes he let his eyes rest on hers, it needn't have been painful,
but it strangely was.
He broke a lifetime of avoiding eye contact to show her.
She was worth overcoming obstacles for.
Estoy feliz
solamente cuando
me siento libre.

Porque sin
la libertad,
qué soy yo?

Si no soy libre,
soy un cuerpo,
nada más.

Sino soy libre
hoy en día,
así que hoy en día,
yo soy yo.

I see the grey on their faces
I see the clouds on their heads
I see the tears traces
and their broken hearts

I see the wind
I see the grass
and this world I had imagined
was much better in the past
before my sight was made transparent

But,
I see the light
I see the dimples and freckles on her chin
I see her eyes
I see her skin,
To know that she is real.
I was in town and an old man started talking to me, I said I was doing about textures for my art project and he began talking about himself. He was born blind and grew up blind without being able to see. He met his wife when he was 8 years old and they married when they were 20. All through their lives together he couldn't see until he was given laser eye surgery to improve his sight and he was telling me that when he could first see he was really disappointed because the world he thought was beautiful was  really depressing and people were sad. It was driving him mad. But then one sunny spring day when the light poured in from the French shutter windows-his  wife standing in the door way he realised how blessed he was of being given sight and being able to see the real beauty of her and know she's an actual person without having to touch around to know she's there. And that her presence-the sight of her comforted him.  I thought that was beautiful..

Let's just lay together, fully clothed and intertwined,
Whispering secrets far into the night.
I need to breathe in the soft warm smell of you,
Bury my face in your neck,
and chastely adore you, just for tonight.
Ah, let me lay here,
And if you doze, and dream of a franker kind of love,
Then keep it in your sleep, for now
I simply want to hold you,
Please, take me in your arms.
