I swirled coffee with a red straw
Thinking what I should do today
Feeling a little useless
Wishing I was able to travel far away

Think this is a hopeless dream
I yearn for all the time
But I still have not reached my goal
Mountain only grows harder to climb

It was someone I loved who once told me
"Good things come to those who wait"
But I badly want to see the world
I know one day it will be too late
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page

He made her the most beautiful art
that filled the void of her heart
to keep her stable
to enable
the feeling of love
as if it were flowing swiftly
through her veins
as she simply
remains
on the same
exact spot
where she knew his name
and brought
nothing but his love
to her.
For her ....................

Were you hit?
By a
Truck?

I think you’ve seen
Better
        days.

Not that I could
Say this…

What if:
        I came that night?

Do
You even
        want
To come?

How.
Would you     respond
                To me?

Well,
At least I
        saw you.

Things could have gone
       Much worse.

I’ll just
        wait
For next time.
To the one that makes me so confused and doesn’t even know it

Whoopsy-Daisy!
There goes half my family tree.

Off into the mystery
of DNA twisting
spirals of ribosomal massive
Building projecting
chromosomal lattices
in a spermatozoatic package

Off into the deep blue deep
of time uncounted
in the shadows of the greats
lifting them on shoulders
and blades
Way back away till god spoke in a burning bud
and called to Joub
and uttered,
"Do not be afraid"
I am the salt of the earth
and the bees and the trees
I am the perfection that you see

Count the petals
(He loves me)
trace the shapes
(He loves me)
Sing the melody
(He Loves me)
Whispered in these
(He Loves me)
Lowly orbs
(He Loves me)
Those soulful
(Loves me)
(Pebbles)
Made perfectly

and to dust will he sow
but not without plucking the best to eat
to return into the fold
that universal flow
To restore and inform
to watch and to grow

It's not a he,
its the trees
do you see what I mean?

They will eat and we will be filled
Will finally know
our efforts unfurl
in the perfect direction of sequence unknown
that leads us towards beauty
(Look out belooowww!!!)
A spiral of perfection in that chaotic void
pushing out, fighting deeply against it
A perfect tao in every step,
every breath,
watching us-- being us
testing us,
seeing us

And when we finally see again,
he will be beauty,
neverend.

i’m like an old dog
sleeping in your couch
alone inside your apartment
only lit by the rays of light
glowing in the afternoon
that slowly fades
as the night falls down.

i wait for your return
— as always.

i casually hear the sound of footsteps
outside the door
and my tail wags,
my ears bolt up,
hoping it’s you
jostling around
holding your groceries
(with occasional dog food in it)
fumbling for your keys.

but as usual,
it’s not you:
it’s probably the postman
or the neighbor.

i plop my head back
on the pillow you gave me
back when you just had me
which i totally outgrew myself in.

i’ll wait again in the evening
— as usual.
i’m reading a book called “the subtle art of not giving a f*ck” and it has been an eye opener and a gentle reminder of how i value things in my life.

anyway, here’s a lazy poetry i made. i missed my dog at home and i got inspired by the way she wags her tail whenever im back

I wake up in sad
but only she loves me      
I'll wait
when she will ready

                
I will remember                          
I will watch
I will wait
My only love
My only love
My only love
My only love

I like when you smile
I dont like when you sad
I like when you happy
I Dont like when you sad


My only love
My only love
My only love
My only love

My only love
My only love
My only love
My only love

Desmotivado,
alfil destrozado,
con mi alma rota,
no del mundo,
sino de tanto pensar,
la vida es una y no volverá.

Desmotivado,
alfil destrozado,
que han llenado
tu vida de propaganda,
aturdido del corrupto profano,
y tu ahí sentado.

Desmotivado.
alfil destrozado,
que no defiendes
tu espada envainada,
con los puños bien cerrados
mirando infinito
el reflejo de dos espejos.

Desmotivado,
alfil destrozado,
que esperas la estrella divina
y esta nunca, nunca se a mostrado.

I dropped out of college one month in.

I quit two jobs over text.

I only retrieved half of my belongings after moving out of my parents house.

My library card was cancelled because I never returned the DVD I rented, because I never watched it.

My exes all still have at least two articles of my clothing because I told them I'd come get them. I intended to. I just never got around to it.

I started to write a suicide note.
I just never knew how to
end
it.
Old. Just found it. Still relevant.

We've been on this road
Infact a million times
You said you wanted me
You say i'm acting shy
But i am standing here
Here  for you all day
But you say i'm acting shy
I give you all my time
But you say i'm acting shy
What do you want me to be?
What do you want me to say?
I've been with you all my life
And all you do is point the finger at me
And say i'm acting shy
Why don't you make a move?
Why won't you catch me?
Why can't you tell me you want me even now?
Because all you have ever done is blame me for being shy
But i'm standing here
Waiting.....
For you to make a move.
I won't wait forever

Her silence, speaks
Deep dark voice
I begin to understand
She taught, I learned

She taught me
What, and
How long
Patience means

She taught me
Why today’s patience
Worth better tomorrow
And, tomorrow will come

Someday
