There is a secret;
The Secret of secrets
Beyond the imagination of our impure selves
There, lies all my unknown self
For I am a mystery yet untold.

Here, I am
But seen to be there.
There, was I
But not seen nor heard.

I was looked at, but not seen
I did not speak, but I was heard
I was not looked at, but I was seen
I was not heard, but I was listened to

This shadow is not mine but this body's
For I am not this body but this soul

One Republic
pick and mix, assorted all sorted
wrinkles missing, smooth as glaciers
toils reversing on harbingers like excesses does
walking the trodden alleys learning Sods mathematics
organs pains for non-organics are inherent consequences so
one Republic and the anthropologists utters a myth in passing
all bananas look like all bananas because bananas are bananas alike
sing a song of three pence and a pocket full of fear
Plato's cave a grand auditorium for lames
united disunited ages in anti-virus glares
white noise in white air and masses sigh
the emperor's coat plays invisible chess
ladies think long and hard in minds
for a dolphin swims like none-other
the glides of the sweetest depths
and in those places unseen
expanded vibes of feels
know reasons why so
it's the bigger snap
it's the difference
the forbidden
fruit lures
will not
move
not
go
in
This piece is inspired by the Brexit situation where the masses are in disarray, confused, pent-up, belligerent and feed up yet cannot stop being obsessive and charmed by it. Monsieur Barnier is determined, Angela Markel has dreams of taking it big and sea of free dolphins swimming. We all dream on and the equally obsessed Press write dirges, doom laden nonsense and masturbatory expose on distorted views and wishful thinking. Hapless Mrs May goes grey daily and watches helplessly as wrinkles arrives daily on faces that cannot let go and just doing the same thing and saying the same-thing over and over and over again  and by the way, what is the Black Rod doing about all this (for does familiar with British politics ) I definitely think  
the Black Rod will calm things down, yes, that's it !!

An ocean dying
to meet the beautiful shore
just a wave away
"Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet"

it is best when it is dark
that way,
we can gaze at the twinkling stars
in these times,
we can see beauty
that once wore a blanket
obliged by the Sun

can you tell me why
this life is worth living
without you?
Sergio Gonzalez Apr 2019
Sometimes,
I feel like life is unbearable
And other times
I feel like I’m on top of the world
Never mind the middle the ground
I seek for highs and lows

I numb my feelings
When you’re around
I let these faucets open  
When you leave this town
I wish I could tell you about my life
But I need to keep this secret
Like it will cost me my life

You run my mind
Faster than the speed of light
slow down
Maybe you can unlock my mind

I’ve been helpless, I’ve been lost
But follow me,
To my forgotten stars
You’re my binary moon
In my fantasies so far from this abuse
Let me love you
More than the Googolplexes of nebulae stars
Let me hold you in my arms  
Forevermore
Galaxies will rise and fall
But my affection towards you
Will never die

limited knowledge,
primitive logic.
the hidden secret known by the mystics and prophets.
subconsciously conscious,
you are the great creator.
there is no system thats greater.
the living product of your maker.
its a mind thing.
the silver lining lies within the aligning of your design.
your mere awareness is a sign.
see everything revealed in time.

“You’re very mysterious to me” he said
But that’s how I express my love
wildly
deeply
secretly
to you
