Concrete Abstract
Patrick Diaz Sep 2017
rivers and universe
his and hers
untamed heat
flickering heartbeat

wakeful townspeople
voices of reason
stubborn kids
scars and roaring dreams

eyes off-guard
winter and postcards
in and out of breaths
midnight old cassettes

lantern beacons
pitter-pattering stones
familiar birth cakes
afire snowflakes

spirit sandcastles
youth color pastels
tender magic words
guitars and harpsichords

firework feelings
fruit and vegetable meetings
hate and love
maybe love

and to anything that matters,
cheers.

Mountian Forest
Patrick Diaz Sep 2017
mountain forest
forest gods
riches of nature
with life-giving blood

iron maiden
working tall
evolving era
behind walls

mountain forest
sacred find
spirit guardians
home of the wild

iron maiden
steel kites
guns and sharps
aiming the head of nature's right

mountain forest
fangs of boars
blessed by deer god
hear no roar

iron maiden
standing tall
a fire to devour
has overtaken nature calls

mountain forest
forest gods
and spirit guardians
no longer in resting hands

พลอย "Ploy"
Patrick Diaz May 2016
a vast celestial sphere
face of the earth looks perfect from up here
and as the stars begin to appear,
one that clarifies the nightfall
the sky is connected after all



you're a combination of harmonious elements,
a combination of colors; a symphony
the pieces of music you have created in every photo,
it reached me
your smiles sprinkled like a glitter
of purple flowers and raindrops
your eyes' braided with a collection of thoughts you never say
waiting to be lit like fireworks display
and your hair's a little tousled like a river
singing and swinging between joy and sadness,
it reached me

I hope this poem reaches you too,
I admire you from afar
from a different place, different language, different culture
and I may not know you and you may not know me
but the sky is connected after all,
the moon will always look back at us,
the birds will leave footprints of pathway
and the sun will always shine like you do

and maybe, just maybe, I could take a step
from that thousand miles of linear extent of space,
of interval between two points; the distance
with a simple hello
"a girl from Thailand"

She (part 4)
Patrick Diaz Apr 2015
She is earthshaking and I am timid
She is compass and I am a wanderer
She is victory and I am surrender
She is unconventional and I am inferior
She is inspiration and I am distress
She is magic and I am a creep
She is ocean and I am a sunken ship
She is play and I am pause
She is soil and I am a plant
She is treasures and I am a merchant
She is vital and I am grave
She is everything at once and I am afraid

She (part 3)
Patrick Diaz Jan 2015
She is moments and I am a journal
She is comfort and I am belongingness
She is hangover and I am a couch
She is why it won't and I am why it will
She is in control and I am vulnerable
She is defense mechanisms and I am much at risk
She is lake and I am a fishing rod
She is paintings and I am blinded
She is forget me and I am forget me not
She is box of chocolates and I am a roll of tissue
She is poetry and I am an ink of pen
She is queen of hearts and I am circle of fifths
She is reality and I am dying for her lips
She is something and I am somehow
She is every end of the day and I should sleep now

She (part 2)
Patrick Diaz Jan 2015
She is street lights and I am walking
She is medication and I am allergic reaction
She is Christmas eve and I am Monday
She is first in line and I am defaulted
She is mosh pit and I am a ghost town
She is antique furnitures and I am an old man
She is every note and I am guitar strings
She is art and I am a hand
She is used to be and I am toxic
She is 5 minutes ago and I am so late
She is family tree and I am a wall
She is rescue team and I am a soccer ball
She is winter and I am a nagger
She is happening and I am never

She
Patrick Diaz Dec 2014
She
She is fire and I am roasting
She is *** of gold and I am a leprechaun
She is full moon and I am sunset
She is sea shells and I am dirtbag
She is crystal and I am an old cloth
She is phoenix and I am rage
She is gasoline and I am a fueled heart
She is turning point and I am senseless
She is gun shots and I am a soldier
She is breath and I am a cigarette
She is weeping and I am a brother
She is nostalgic and I am fire exit
She is water and I am a scratched knee
She is holding and I am keeping
She is everywhere and I am free

Lost
Patrick Diaz Dec 2014
How can I be alright?
Acting all normal is how you roll
Before I came, you've already built up your wall
And I've already made up my mind;
you are lost there
But don't ask me, I'm lost too
You pepper spray me so often
Now I can't see any other way but to you

Lovebird
Patrick Diaz Jun 2014
you are the book I will never understand
even in my own language--
the points in your thoughts are the score I can't earn
my heart belongs to you
alone, inside a room in a mansion
full of doors with no keys,
no exception

you are the song I will never learn to play
even if I practice from night to day--
classical, magical,
as long as I'm breathing,
loving you is crucial

you are the game I will never finish
even if I use cheat, fair
isn't it, I've been losing sleep--
addicting, all I need is you and I, drifting
between the stars that we both underneath waiting

you are the question I will never have the answer
a secret code with no clue
I've said it before, and I'll say it again,
I'm still in love with you

Summer
Patrick Diaz May 2014
warm breeze, radiated sunlight,
our shadows making their own kites
let them fly and try,
like birds being pleasant and free,
searching for one another
while we, lay on this fine white sand,
with an inch close creeping hands
reaching for one another

savor the moment
and forget all we've known
let the world ignore us
and pretend anything can happen
let's fight time and destiny
and defy this wave of gravity

think without even really thinking,
but feeling

and just be in love for a while

Dauntless
Patrick Diaz Apr 2014
the amount of flames and gems you are absorbing,
you smile like you aren't afraid of anything
you bloom in the shadow of the sun you receive
the only flower in the garden, I believe

you hold a flag of your own
strong combination of colors to be shown
a woman of an island
a woman of the cave
even ghosts are shaking, trembling,
for being totally brave

made of wood from trees for creating fires and watching on forest
made of rock for building fortress
made of city lights, a never ending light
made of magnet, attracting everyone so tight, intimidating at first sight
made of paintings by soul, crafted
a dauntless stone hearted

Lunacy
Patrick Diaz Mar 2014
turn my poetry into necklace and wear it today
forget about world and let's run away

we should hang out together,
watch countless number of people's lies

until one of us dies

let's talk about false hopes and immorality,
bring up the past and prove ourselves wrong
overdose our body with sad songs
believe in misfortune and tell secrets first before the clue
and right before you fall into madness,
I will catch you

Castle In The Air
Patrick Diaz Mar 2014
above all the clouds
is a castle floating around
spectacular fireworks, enchanted lights
rhapsodic musicale during nights
flowers all over places
people with blissful faces
kindness swims in their blood
unionization always they had
talking ticking clocks
brave fighting ducks
a town of strawberries
bizarre carnivals with free entries
carefree lion, odd donkey
even a cookie can be a buddy
ladies with flying carpets
men's combat training with alive puppets
children running over their little magic tricks
stories told to them are not just mythics
freak witches, high wizards
with their wands that know the magic behind love
love that always outshine above

unicorns dancing their wings
as the princess begans to sing
astounding gown, crystal crown
hair was long soft straight flowing brown
gates have opened, soldiers are lining
as the prince started entering
knight in shining armor, princess' savior
all for the castle's favor

all hail almighty king and queen
I don't want to be mean
but these were all just a scene
in a little girl's dream

Heart Avenue
Patrick Diaz Mar 2014
a minute of silence
looking at each other with patience
--we had the most perfect view
on heart avenue
sitting in these seats
where our heartbeats
first meet

you smell like love
thinking that stars are fairies
I wanna hold your hand with no worries

but I'm afraid,
that I might do something crazy


completely crazy,



like fall in love
Patrick Diaz Mar 2014
you're so happy when I came
I wonder why you always call me by the same
until I found out that you have given me a name
the first time you hit me, I know you just want me to tame
but for me, I only want to hear your voice calling me and play a game
thank you for giving me the most cutest name in the world

lately I've been losing control, I think it's because of these whiskers
I'm sorry for destroying some of your slippers
maybe I just need your attention
and your affection
or maybe I'm just hungry
I began eating what I shouldn't be

thank you for feeding me the most delicious food in the world
even when I bit your charger's cord
I'm sorry for pooping on the floor
I was so nervous when you came home and opened the door
I thought you would hit me again
but I was wrong, instead,
you gave me a gentle pat on my head

thank you for walking with me
even I had chains on my neck
I know you just don't want me to be lost
you're holding me at all cost
thank you for letting me see the most beautiful places in the world
I love you, if only I could be heard
thank you for talking to me,
even you know I can't answer you back
thank you for giving me a bath
I feel so clean and also starting to love a cat
thank you for letting me sleep on your bed
when I feel so alone and cold outside, under the shed

you are the most wonderful person for me
you are the angel I always want to see
I hate it when you need to go and leave me
because I missed you from the moment you left me
you are the only one that makes me happy
I loved you since I was a puppy



and now I'm becoming old and weak
I feel so sad when I think that I only got a year of eight or nine
I will be always yours and I hope you will be always mine
I don't want to leave your side
you are my whole life
for you, I would take a bullet or a knife

so while I'm still alive,
thank you for taking care of me,
and if I die,

please don't forget me
Patrick Diaz Mar 2014
air feels like
warm bath,
like thick pump of bass,
heavy inhales
frozen ground
with a sweet sound
busy people,
blurred faces


there she is


wearing a lovely red dress,
more like a princess
strawberry lips,
can't wait to kiss
you smile,
my innermost die
sparkling eyes,
tell no lies
and the way you look,
tells more than the truth

concentrate, focus, breathe
you make my heart skip a beat
the title "you give me premature ventricular contractions"
was taken from the movie 'No Strings Attached'
which means "you make my heart skip a beat"

A Smile that Says It All
Patrick Diaz Feb 2014
you have that good sense of balance
affecting us at one glance

you have that awareness in danger
like a body within a solid timber

you look so gentle
like a baby blowing her first birthday cake's candle

you have the crown
that gives you strength to not frown

you have that unalterable aura
the way you look so optimistic
like you hold nothing but all the brightness in this world

you have that absolute fineness
like an angel floating down so perfectly



yes you are,
yes it's you,
and your smile,
that says it all

Lily of the Valley
Patrick Diaz Feb 2014
dancing with the wind
hiding in the grass
you can easily tell what's good and what's wonderful
beyond all kinds
obviously more beautiful

looking sweet and slender
but poisonous like a viper

your scent deep down in my lungs
took my breath very fast
without even noticing
and now I'm lost and drowning

you got me defenseless
feeling so enamored

tell me, how do you do this?
tell me, why do you do this?
tell me, why do you have to be like this?

like lily of the valley.

— The End —
