your always so pessimistic."

It Happens
Ray Suarez Jul 2015
The fly spent
His final days
Desperately searching
For a way to escape
Through the window screen
When all he had to do
Was open the front
Door

On Time
Ray Suarez Nov 2015
Waking up
Covered by the dark
Rolling over
Watching the sky
Through the only window
In a ****** apartment
The sun started to rise
Right at 6 AM
Cold blue cracking black
As if it were on a schedule
Following somebody's rules
Like all the sad
Sad people
I thought
"That's not right,
That's real ****** up!"
I wished the sun would
Change it's mind
Lie back down
And not be seen
Or heard from
For 3 days
Then I crawled out of bed
And started to get ready for
Work

Your Name
Ray Suarez Aug 2015
I heard it in the dark
Waking alone on the floor
In the middle of the room
After dreaming of nothing
It sounded like it came from
A language unknown to man
Sung by the mockingbird
It was probably a term for
Something like
"The last swaying purple
Velvet flower left alive
After the extinction
Of humanity"
It sounded soothing
I felt a surrounding presence
Of warmth and elegance
It felt like you were lying
Beside me
Wanting to be held
By my arms
It felt like
I was never alone

Understanding Love
Ray Suarez Oct 2015
First
Try being alone
Until
Lost in the dark
Seems comfortable
Until Jupiter and the moon
Sound reasonable
Until cats look like willow trees
And the people like wilted flowers
Until you understand
That they are all out of their
Minds
And you're in worse shape
Until you see
Marriage as slavery
Boyfriends as leashes
And girlfriends as tombs
Until afternoon
And midnight
Are the same woman
In different heels
Until your mirror
Runs for congress
Until you can smile
At hurricanes and suicide
Yeah
Try understanding that first
Then when the next one comes along
You'll understand love
A little more
Oh, no...
You still won't be ready
But you'll be
Stronger

— The End —
