A quality of ignorance,
self-deception may be
necessary to the poet’s
survival.
Jim Morrison

They talking but I never betray
They hustling but at home I stay
They calling for me, can't say I ain't afraid
Tears, blood, and diamonds, slay
Don't slay the queen
Love her in her castle by the bay
Summer never end, only I'll run away
Summer never end, pick me up just ride my way
Ride the wave, ride the snake

Yes, I hear them calling every day
Every day but I am ashamed of their game
Palm trees, bling bling, and lychees
Sunset never end on these two wheels
Keep track of em greens
Cause I can't count my feels

This duty of Doing
Of occupying
Of deciding
Of settling

Slow down

Even if I did not move a finger today - this day
My entire self travelled in immense speed to reach out wherever it wanted

My muses told me to invite you over
Whenever you are done - moving your fingers

All my people
All my adventure
All my passion
All my free love
I have found in only one
Only you I would give the world improved
Ready to roll into the black hole

I pull my eyes to the left
They see snow on dead ground
Naked trees high on anorexia
Pieces of blue are trying to paint idyllic
But I’m not here
I’m with you at the hallways with the sun knocking at the door, even at  night.
In front we have the past as well as the present
Couldn’t be more majestic
I’m not here.

Those days and nights put into a spinning wheel , moving on us.
And no time to shower
The bluest lake full of past, eyelashes of gods and tears of monsters
My mind was not set
No connections of past
Absolute state of endless freedom
Absolutely lost

Light my cigarette honey
Give me time to grab the pen
Give me time to lose a sense of self
Give me the chance to ride in speed of light
Let’s meet on the other side
I get what I wish for – it pours over my skin like burning ice
All the time more than I can take
Let me rest at the train station tonight.
Strange strangers you will get to meet
Torn apart by pain
Thinking to find answers in their own mirrors
In others shadows
Creatures of darkness

He lit another cigarette for me
It was cold, dark outside
The dragon provided me with fire
Exhausted from spoken words and told stories
I wanted to go home
If I only knew where it was.

More than sounds and ocean waves
You are able to embrace my existence
Just as yourself being inbetween the void and supernovas
Bet you feel lonelier than a fourteen year old girl forced to turn into a woman

Instead of bringing us company
I dedicate these words to you, untouched, unknown
Only ****** who is allowed to judge and laugh about what Moon sees

Tonight we will share a bottle of wine and any music appealing to your craters
Agree
Accept
La Salud

The diamond on my chest
   Nobody will question

Asked myself where crossing borders takes them, took them

If it is the void, it must be this heaven everybody claims to go
But only a few make it
   To let go off the ego, infinite colors - shapes - voices - beings
Will spend the infinite with you, I hope, I guess

Only a few make it, I guess - I want to believe
  
   May I be part of it?

You know I am asking you - you are the Everywhere, the All the Time

One day you will show me how time will be deleted from the vocabulary.

Love is more
than taking her once a week in your freshly cleaned car
to a hotel and on a shopping spree
without knowing what her thoughts and dreams might be
without listening to her level of frequency
Can you tell me
What is intimacy?

While you take a trip to the center of your mind
trying to redefine what you really want in life
Is it money, fame or neither?
Maybe now you really need her
To hold you tight and cook you dinner

My dear friend
Let me tell you how the clocks melt everytime nobody's watchin'
Don't you bother in getting another one.

So lets have this line together and tell me your life
We still have time tomorrow
I just don't know where we'll wake up
Hope your mom doesn't worry

Yes - by your side I want to celebrate that you are mine.
#infinte #friendship

If it wasn't for the words that build up my poetry
My mouth
I'd cut it off with my mothers kitchen knife
Hang it upon the wall like a master piece of art
Blood has never harmed anybody
My eyes picked out with toothpicks
An old man in a suit will eat them like olives in a glass
My hands
I honor them to lead the pen to the finish line
Those I will keep

Friday foggy night and I was wondering, just wondering
As I noticed how silent the city is that I once used to live in
How silent I was not anymore

This is not the place to be, I thought
As it only wanted me to lay my head on its shoulder
How loud I had become
The city I grew up in
lara Mar 2015
Trying to lose all perspectives
I used to know
Let define me
Only seeing with eyes and skin
With love - not with the I
What a blessing to reach the end
A point of no end of feeling, tears, laughter
Yes - even thoughts and words
But inspired by the void
(My favorite word of all the time)

A thought on which tone my coffee would have this morning.
Or who on the street would have my whole attention – think about the stranger before I fall asleep and get revealed to what myself does when the shell does not count.

A thought on the distance to the eyes I sit under. I would like to love you running out of all options. The cry over the city surrounding the crowd, come home in the early hours painted on clocks.

A thought on the need of all the driving around and the sun melting my face. Figures that open and close their mouths – I am listening by looking.
The Later is the Now and there is no exit.

The eyes of the unseen and unfelt
The innocence of a siren crying under water
A first kiss on a hand white like snow
A glass of red wine on a full moon night

Smoky rainy Thursday morning bringing back the seventies
The Doors playing at full volume at July’s
A ride through the never ending night, never ending warm asphalt
The recognition of feeling

A statement on insanity while standing on the ground with one foot
An eye blink filled with a ton of words
The bruise on the leg turning into a supernova
The poison path which will never ****, ever

The New York I imagined to daydream
A clear night in companion of strings and waves
The dollar got lost because loving you is free
The setting on time but not in place
The tear calming the fire with no explanation

The laughter of lost souls driven by the same motor
A sleeping beauty who lives pursuing passion
The hope to understand all these infinite bridges to the other side.

I challenge you
To speak as you were writing your last poetry
As you are the street light at night
As you are the reflection on a gloomy wall
As you are the smoke scratching a throat
You are talking to your muse
As you are only your hands shaking it out
Without the perception of self
Talking to your secret fear

The voices will finally sing
That is the world I want to live in
Talking to the muse
An eternity long
Talking to your muse

— The End —
