Time that was once upon us
Alvaro Avila May 2018
Once upon a time
As time was once upon us,
Would have you and I in love and to dream of
Although today, we are nothing more then...
Were before's
Way back then
Used to be's
But today just friends

Once upon a time
Ex-partners in crime
You keep yours &
Ill keep you in mind
But today though
Still just friends

Once before's
Way back when
Now nothing more
Then acquaintances

Agreed upon unanimously
Too,new beginnings
With two different ends
Never will be's
Ever again
Now just bad memories
Of an Ex-benificial friend

Yesterday's news
Last Months Blues
We're before's
Still no-more's
Weren't really even back then
Yet someone I catch myself still missing
My Ex-Selfie sharing ,best friend

The Storm In Me...
Alvaro Avila Aug 2018
The storm in me
Is the conflict you cant see
Who i am, or am not
Supposed to be
The person i was,
Because and should be

Someone who was
Smart and strong
Needed and belonged
Confident without hesitation
A patriot of this great nation and
A loyal friend If ever you needed one

Today though some see me differently
They say im a
Disappointment with disabilities
Slowly ruining a reputation
A product of my environmental instabilities
Falling short of an expectation

But sometimes there's nothing you can do
When life interferes with predesitination
And redirects it down a path unsecurred and
Opened to translation.
Just as it did to me...

Now everyday is exactly the same
But completely different
I wish I could explain.

Who I was back then
Came to his end that beautiful day in May
And what was left
is what is now
A conflict that no one sees
The Storm inside of me.

When the rain...
Alvaro Avila Jul 2018
When the rain touches my face
It imitates my tears
It hides all my distaste
And all of my fears...

It hides when I'm missing you
And im feeling down
Or when I'm sad and blue
Cause you're not around...

It hides whom I want no one to see....
                            Me.

My Loves Compromises...
Alvaro Avila Aug 2018
hey baby,
I'm hoping so much
to see you tonight.
I sent you a letter,
i hope it found
its way to you alright.
It's been sometime now
since we've sat to chat.
so tonight i was hoping
to do just that.
I don't know exactly
how you feel about
me these days,
as for me you need
not worry,
my love for you is
as strong as always.
as of recent though,
I thought i felt you slippin away.
It seems your
attitude towards me,
Isn't exactly what
it used to be.
So before this gets
and goes any further,
To where you're
out of my reach
and i slowly begin
to become a bother.
I was hoping so much
to see you tonight,
so I can hold you
in my arms
with all of my might.
And with no alarms
And no surprises.
I'd offer to you
with all of my love,
My heart and these Compromises.

Even if.….
Alvaro Avila Apr 2018
Even if the Earth failed to turn
And the Moon failed to follow
Even if the Sun failed to burn
And there would be no tomorrow
Etched forever
On a tree in my dreams will read
.....Michelle Loves Alvaro

Just in case
Alvaro Avila Feb 2019
Just in case you didn't know
You are someone very special to me and
I will always remember the last day we shared.

The way the warm Sun set.
Your smile,your lips
The way you wore your hair.
The way the Moon's light
Followed you wherever you'd go.

That day will always be ours
If I could go back
I would ask for just a few more hours,
So I could do and say
Everything I didn't get to, that last day.

I would've let you know that it wouldn't had mattered how we ended
Or how far away you'd go
Because for me you were
The best thing that ever happened,
And this I wish i would've told you.
Just in case you didn't know...

Thinking of You
Alvaro Avila Sep 2023
Think of you I do
When the clouds gather
And the Spring
Flowers bloom

Think of you I do
When the world is silent
Absent of sound
And you send your warm Sunlight
Beaming down

Think of you I do
Forever in time
You are always on my mind
As i wait for the moment , my love
Cause you're all I think of

When and maybe then
Might these eyes
get to see you smiling
again......
My dear old friend

Leviathan
Alvaro Avila Feb 2019
The World that I know
Cuts deep and digs in
It grabs at my soul
And won't let me go
I'm at its mercy
It's prey all day
Trying to break free
Growing from within
It's plans of New World Slavery
Slowly closing in
In all of my thoughts
And under my skin
I'm being pulled beneath
Leviathan!

To my love,i just wanted you to know...

That if everyone was told
That we’d  all only have one more day before the planet would be hit & explode
that I wouldn't fear the end
as long as it would be with you
my friend
We could take a drive in our car
Watch the sky light to bright
As the stars crashed into Mars
Then headed towards ours

We could park at our favorite spot
Not giving our stress filled lives another thought

We would tightly hold one anothers hand
As the ground split open
Swallowing the land

I would look deep into your eyes
Ignoring all the screams & crys
As I'd move into kiss you just one last time

It would be so beautiful you see
Our souls exiting our bodies
simultaneously
Threading our love across this universe
Forever & for all eternity

So my love,I just wanted you to know...

If our galaxy would ever get out of control
That dying with you
Would definitely be something that I could do

I would want you…
Alvaro Avila Nov 2022
Even if the Sky’s weren’t always the brightest of blues
And Time I found to be nothing more then a tool id use
To measure how long I’ve been loving you

Even if the Sun suddenly shifted and shinned brightest
On the darkest side of the Moon
And even when my days left on this planet have dwindled down to only less then a few

I would want you to know that
You have always had my heart
And I will in death as in life be waiting to once again… see you

As It Whispers Quietly
Alvaro Avila Jul 2023
And the sadness never ends
It surrounds me when I'm alone
It hides itself from everyone inside my room,
Then it whispers quietly to pretend

But the sadness never ends
It refuses to stop
It reminds me of hard times and low places
It confines me to quiet dark spaces
But sadly never ends

Its embedded in every tick of a clock
Its encoded into everything that i think
And everything that Ive thought

It has inserted itself in all the places
That once made me smile
Its given me new purpose in life,
Denile

It can make everyone believe im
Someone im not
As it makes me retrieve memories
That id rather had kept forgot

But the sadness never ends and will forever live on...

Even long after we're Gone
As it whispers quietly

Alvaro Avila Feb 2020
Even If our precious air
Was beyond repair

And the Earth
Ly on the eve of its rebirth

Even if our oceans
Were drained of all promised devotions

And the brilliant stars
Fell free
crashing into Mars,heading twords ours

One thing will always be .....

I will live the rest of my days
So into you
As you lived yours
So into me

To Susana My Love
May our Lord welcome your
Beautiful soul into his Kingdom

And Stormy Clouds Gain
Alvaro Avila Jun 2020
We could stay indoors and
Watch the pouring rain
You could cling onto me
As stormy clouds gain

If you happen to see me though
Wandering around outside
Im sure you'll know
That its you
Thats on my mind

And as tomorrow draws near
We'll be saying goodbye
But ill still feel about you
The way I'm feeling inside

Unable to hold back my tears
I stand in this beautiful rain  
That acts as my disguise
And hides all of my pain

When you do decide
To join me outside
I'll ask you not for one more chance
But instead, for
One last dance
Please my beautiful friend
The wind seems to have picked up again

And stormy clouds gain...

In This Life
Alvaro Avila Dec 2022
In this life
She is my world
My day begins and ends with her
I trust her with all of my personal issues
As she knows everything I hold dear to my heart
My deepest secrets
What I fear most & what I have no fear of
I believe I know hers as well
When she’s gone
How i miss her
When she’s near me
All I want to do is kiss her
When she’s sad
I’d like nothing more than to hold her
Come to think of it
I believe she’s the person I’d like to be with
When I’m older

The Pleasant Past
Alvaro Avila Mar 2023
We are the futures
Pleasant past
The fallen sand
Through an hourglass
No matter how our conscious
Lives play out
At a small moment in time
We were here.and
Id be more then happy to say
If the future should somehow find this
Somewhere someway
To respect all, work hard
And have fun
Because of this experience
There is only one

Reflecting
Alvaro Avila Aug 2022
The most stunning being
These eyes had ever seen
My thoughts the first time we met
A moment i could never forget
Like the Moon needs the Sun
And this Planet
The oceans and Seas
We needed each other
I was so into you
And you were so into me
We grew up together
And eventually by two more
Ashley and Samantha
Names so beautiful
I etched them on a tree in my dreams
Next to mine and yours
It reads
May we all meet here in Heaven
At this World's end
So that our souls could all be together
Once again

Besides Waiting
Alvaro Avila Dec 2021
Holidays without you
Is something i still find hard to do
From dusk till dawn
I live tears of a sad song
You're there without me
And im here without you
Besides waiting
What else can i do

Merry Christmas Susana
I miss you
More then words can say

From Earth To Ceres
Alvaro Avila Oct 26
Whatever our distance apart,
That keeps you furthest from my eyes
But closest to my heart.
Be dimensions of time and space,
Or the equivalent of travel from Earth to Ceres.
I hope to find you someday.
As of today my daydreams are filled with
Images of your smile,
That decorate my memories
In what my brain considers miles and miles.
Just like the bright pink flowers do
To the Spring orchard leaves.
Just like the white fallen snow does
To the tops of the Winter pine trees
Your smile it does, to my deepest dreams.
Whatever our distance apart,
I hope to see you again someday.
Even if it means traveling from Earth to Ceres...

AvA
