Moore Dagogo Hart Dec 2015

from across the room you caught my gaze and my heart raced. I stared at your stunning dress because beauty had never been more beautiful and all I could think about was you in a wedding dress and me as the groom. so I went to the bathroom to see If I looked good enough to approach you, but I've never been good at looking good enough and I knew I just had to talk to you. so I went to you with confidence but as soon as I reached you my lips became like a newly married couple and didn't want to let go of each other, words found comfort in my throat and didn't want to leave, a complete sentence couldn't come out because I could just stare at you for a life time and it still wouldn't be enough. the moment I switched back to reality and got these words out, all I could ask was 'what's your name'. you asked for mine too but I didn't have a name at that point because you look like a girl nobody can get so I might as well be a nobody. but I still said 'Moore'. then I looked over every inch of your face and thought to myself '****, not even one flaw'. they say the best things in life are free so I decided not to pay you any attention but still I regretted not spending all my time on you.

Donna Bella Dec 2015

Forever doesn't last to long

Better off by myself
Broken heart
Love at first sight
Will **** you on second glance

Heart dismantled
But the words were sentimental
How can I glue the pieces together when I made them fall apart?

How can I get so wrapped up in something?
Why do I insist on my heart being broke?

It became painfully clear

Friendship in the Making

Brief conversation ignited here and there.
but little did I know, you had so much to share.
Shy from possible rejection, and fear of words leaving your mouth
all jumbled.
The fear was evident in the way you carried yourself,
guarded from what may have hurt you before,
leaving you crumbled.
You forced yourself to open up and write me a letter.
The paper was your release, and in choosing me to write to, I won't ever really know the reason, but all for the better.
I see a friendship in the making, you have drawn yourself closer.
I'll admit, I needed this friendship too, more than you will ever know.
Someone who deep down wants to be happy and at peace with life.
While everyone is lost the chaos, we are still, appreciating the present.
Looking forward to the next time we meet, for it is your company that I truly enjoy.

At Night.

The blueness dies out my eyes tonight,
The red gold of my heart. O how still the light burns!
Your cloak of sadness encircles the long descent.
Your red lips seal your friend's unhinging.

Georg Trakl (1887-1914). 12/16/2015.

Hating-Gabi

Hating-gabi na mahal, ikaw ay nasaan?
Naghihintay ako sa ating tarangkahan.
Taimtim na nanalangin sa iyong kaligtasan,
Gustong kitang masilayan kahit kabilugan ng buwan.

Madaling araw na mahal, wala ka pa rin.
Rinig na rinig ko na ang ungol sa labasan.
Nagbabakasakaling aking masaksihan,
Ang iyong pagdating mula sa gitna ng kagubatan.

Hating-gabi na mahal, ako'y takot na takot na.
Mababangis na hayop ay nagsimula ng naglipana.
Ang ingay ng uwak ay kaliwa't kanang namumutiktik,
Dinaig pa ang ingay sa piging ng isang bayan.

Hating-gabi na mahal, nagmamakaawa akong umuwi ka na.
Ako'y nag-iisa, walang kasama, at takot na takot pa.
Nararamdaman kong may mga matang nakatingin, uhaw na uhaw sila.
Sa bawat paghinga ko'y alam kong buhay ko ang kukunin nila.

Hating-gabi na mahal, nabuwal na ang pintuan.
Isang nilalang na may mahahabang kuko't matutulis na ngipin,
Ang nakapasok na't naglalaway, gusto na akong lapain,
Ngunit ako'y naging tulisan at hinarap ang kalaban.

Hating-gabi na mahal, tulungan mo akong puksain.
Ang halimaw sa bahay na handa akong patayin.
Naging matapang ako kahit walang alam sa pakikipaglaban.
Nakipagbuno, nakipagtagisan, at nakipagsaksakan.

Hating-gabi na mahal, ako'y kanyang nahuli.
Kinagat sa braso at kinalmot sa mukha ng walang pasabi.
Sa malalaking kuko niya'y lakas ko'y napawi.
Tumilamsik ang dugo, katawa'y nanghina, at ako'y nagapi.

Hating-gabi na mahal, ako'y parang kinakatay na.
Sa matutulis niyang ngipin, katawan ko'y pira-piraso na.
Hanggang sa tumitibok kong puso'y binunot niya,
At tuluyan na akong napapikit at nawalan ng hininga.

Hating-gabi na mahal, nakauwi ka na ba?

I don't know what happened
And I don't really care
My only regret is
That I wasn't there.

Just a thought....

Disappear here Oct 2015

getting lost at sea

some days I want to be everywhere
some days I want to be nowhere at all

I don't know what's worse

being lost at sea, surrounded by water
or dying of thirst

I don't know

SPIRAL

We met and then
We went to bed.
What romantic
Things we said.
And knowing from
The way we kissed
That this was all
Very worth the risk.
That very week we
Moved in together
Think as to how
It would last forever.
We bought the stuff
For our love nest.
No questions asked
That was for the best.
Then conflicts rose
The other’s style
Our feelings hurt
We stewed a while
And I decided that
It would simply do
If I simply agreed
To give in to you.
From that we had
Things I didn’t want.
But really did wish
You wouldn’t flaunt
That everything was
Due to your taste
And implying mine
Was such a waste.
The same was true
Of your fidelity.
Dancing with others

(This is only autobiographical if
we go back forty years. And I have
been married for twenty five, so
this isn't about that.)
Without asking me.
So, being the nice guy
I didn’t complain.
I cleaned up after, but
Some dancers remained.
You complained that I
Wanted a standard marriage
With white picket fences
And a baby carriage
But you never agreed
To that limiting kind
And I felt I had been
Very dangerously blind.
After a week of living
In a marital twilight zone
You had packed up
And I was living alone
With no furniture or
A bed I could lie on
I realized how little
I ever had to rely on.
After a while I went
With friends to dance
Giving love another chance.
I met a person that night
And everything seemed
To be turning out right.
We liked the same tunes
And so we went to bed
With visions of forever
Dancing in our heads.

(This is only autobiographical if we go back forty years. And I have been married for twenty five, so this isn't about that.)

Sitting in this bar and just like that my life turned around. Saw this beautiful gal with the slightest frown. She looked at me and then straight back down. Knew she was a mystery with tons of history. Calming my nerves and ask for one more shot. Thinking back on all my thoughts. This is just destiny, it has to be. Thought to myself what is there left to lose but my dignity. So I go over and introduce myself. She smiles and looks back at me. Caught a glimpse of her eyes as her twinkle sent me sky high. The night went well, she gave me her number. As they say, the show is now over.

FIRST DANCE

Did she smile when she saw you?
Oh yes, she smiled so sweet!
When you danced, did you hold her close?
We were so close it was nose to nose.

Mama today I met somebody I love,
She fits me just perfectly, just like a glove.
At first it started out with just a look
No words were said, but I could write a book.
There was music playing somewhere
But I never did find out why.
We just danced to the melody
And we didn’t even try.

When you were with her did you feel anything?
When I am with her I felt as if were a king!
When you were with her did the time fly?
Yes and it felt like we took to the sky!

Oh, Mama she was just what you said
Who you told me someday I’d meet.
When I held her and we danced
I was so light on my feet.
It felt like old time movie scene
We were Ginger and Fred.
With both rainbows and carousels
Filling up our heads.

And she smiled when she saw me;
Oh yes, she smiled so sweet!
When we danced, I held her so close,
Giggling kids, we danced nose to nose.
When I was with her did I feel anything?
When I am with her I feel as if am a king!
When I am with her the time does fly,
It feels just like we took to the sky!
