Those of us that dream.
Aren’t bound by history.
We go pass the stars.
Carlo C Gomez Dec 2021

A fire built within

We come together
we break apart

A wind that blows past
and does not return

Carnival of light
moving colors
in the overcurrent

Where is heaven above?

You'll only hear
the hummingbird
skyward bound

Before finally combusting
somewhere in
the upper atmosphere

The resulting cloud
is probably still up there
— more proof that it pays
to shoot for the stars

the further i stand away
the better it seems
so i'll keep this distant

my lungs are *******
with your being
just your name
is hard to say
and your face
is hard to see

all this color
blends into brown
the color of eyes
i've seen before

somewhere
across interstates
our skin could touch
our veins could break

i can't wait
to be a part of you
sometimes i want it so bad
i make myself bleed

these days grow colder
into the pigment of my skin
the frozen air i breathe is thin

with each passing rise and fall
i feel us getting farther
until i can't feel you at all

i can't hold this pain
i collapse with the weight
of nothing but stars

I often lock my eyes
On the sight of the sky
And I stare into the night
Under the glow of moonlight

Through this looking glass
I could see
An entire world out there
Looking back at me
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
“Pick one”
She pointed at her freckles

“Choose one”
I pointed to the stars
Coleen Mzarriz Dec 2021
The cold January air has filled my lungs. A fiery gaze I give the moon—my tight breathing, hitching, my divine shadow foreshadowing what will happen next. Blood and my sweet cherry wine.

The stars hovering over the moon and the gray clouds fogged up, and him beside me. His heartbeat almost dug out of his chest; even if I can make out what he will say next, I make sure I wear an all smile. He needs to see I am better off without him. He needs to know I will be okay.

And the next thing I knew... He was gone far away like a ship in the night, drowned by waves and the dark, fiery gaze of the ocean. I listen, and as I slowly lose the noise of everyone, I lose myself. And then this song came; another tear swelled at the sight of my eyes. I sang a little bit, and a part of me lost everything that night.

The cold January air and my sweet cherry wine.
I remember how I stopped writing when I was grade 12 and now that I'm on my second year as a college student, I'm here again... Meeting the old self I buried years ago.

And to top it all, I'm tired. Aren't we all? But somehow, the universe always put me back together like missing puzzles and I regain some of my strength. And here I am, back again.

I am three fourths
of the way
To vibrating out of my skin
Watching it slough off and turn to stardust at my feet
The flesh prison which chains me to this Earth
And traps my in this plane of being
Finally
Discarded
