I hope you’re doing okay, but from what I’ve heard, I don’t think you’ll ever do well. I heard you were wasted, puking on *** that was shoplifted by your friend. Your ***** smelled like oranges and everyone took you home drunk to your mom like it was their fault. Because I remember when you were just cutting yourself to escape the trauma of your mom beating you and living with runaways. Your friends raised you, but they’ve gone to college, and you’re left with drunk driving drug dealing boyfriends A couple summers ago you called me when you lost your virginity in the bed of your obsession’s truck and you thought you would be pregnant and drank yourself to sleep because you thought it was decent birth control, even though he came on your back didn’t see you for a couple of years and thought we lost touch because we were broken down and giving up and I thought if you could just find a place that didn’t party or abuse their girlfriends that you could find a place to be where you wouldn’t feel so numb Way too long ago I remember stories of your friends running away to Canada, being kidnapped or arrested, sent to the emergency room like when you tried to **** yourself over some boy or because you hated your mom or you thought you were too fat when you’re trying to forget yourself drinking cheap alcohol and skinny dipping I hope that you won’t have to last as long because you aren’t meant to be ****** intoxicated or depressed, when that’s all you’ll ever do.

There's a woman in my arms As close as skin can get I want to fall in love again I'm still not ready yet Your  shadow slips between us Like every other time And as cold chills cool the passion Her love can't cross the line My arms are full of memories of you I pull the shades and lock the doors But yesterday comes through As I hold her in the dark I still hold you in my heart My arms are full of memories of you I found her at an upscale dance She's all woman to the bone But I slipped and cried your name again And I knew the night was gone She slipped right through my fingers Cause her pride can't play that role She wants all of me or nothing But it's not in her control CHORUS Copyright Louis Brown

Lyrics for Bianca
Today you told me you moved on You found someone new Someone prettier Someone smarter Someone who makes you more happier than I ever could It’s crazy to think you found that person Because I thought I was her I gave you countless times to realize I was the one The one who would put up with everything you put me through The one who stuck by your side no matter what The one who always defended you no matter the ****** situation The one who would never leave no matter how many times you broke me down Little did I know You’d be the one to leave The one to have had enough of this so called love And it’s crazy because no one saw it coming And I guess I should’ve listened to Bianca when she said to leave before they realize you are not worth staying for you are a speckle of dust and i am a star and i will never think of using my radiance to make you glow ever again

This is harsh love
Wishing a very Happy Birthday To the sweetest girl I’ve ever known. My muse, my soulmate, my best friend. Just for a moment would you loan me An ear to show you I’m glad you know me. I could give you every gift under the sun And remind you every minute of every day, You’re The One! But nothing I say or do will ever be enough To share my gratitude for your love. To show you, no stars burn so brightly As your eyes in mine, Dearest Dove. The first time I saw you, stunned as you twirled, It was plain to see, You’re The Gift To The World! Kristin Bianca Garcia - I Love You ❤️💙💛

Happy Birthday Kristin
Nel mio cuore, una fata dorme. Lungo per i sogni, sono una povera, piccola ragazza all'interno. Per fuori, sono una ragazza coraggiosa e matura. Pero, io non posso fingere che non voglio essere nei miei sogni, dove si incontra tutto lo che mi piace, tutto che io voglio. i principe con gli occhi azzurri, il castello bianco dove io vivo, il cavallo bianco, la carrozza bianca, tutto bianco. perche tutto bianco? forse vedo tutto cosi buio, crudele, spietato. La gente non voglie essere tu amici, ancora meno riconoscerti. Vogliono solo guardarti piangere. Vogliono guardare cuando ti realizza che non si puoi vivere nei tuoi sogni. Che non sara' giovane per sempre. Che non sei piu un bambino. Prima o dopo, sarai uno di loro. amaro e apatico. non ti sognare. Non esiste il principe con gli occhi azzuri, non esiste il castello bianco, non esiste il cavallo bianco, non esiste la carrozza bianca. Non tutto e' bianco.

I sogni
Long auburn hair bellows behind I’ve got so much to choose from, but I’ll just change my mind. These hazel eyes are the mark of mystery Yeah, once I’m famous, they’ll make some history. Got my pencil tucked ‘hind my ear Life for me ain’t very austere. I’ll leave to where the wind is takin’ me No permanent home, this is what I call free. Gimme music or gimme death. I never knew the taste o’ your breath. But I don’t care. My heart still survived ev’ry freakin’ tear. A notebook under my arm Yeah, y’know I’m worth three times the charm. Let’s keep traveling, c’mon, let’s just get away. Don’t tie me down, ‘cause I’m bound to betray. Gawky, yeah, and not too pretty Dude, sorry, but that’s just me. I’ve got guitars and screaming pounding in my head. This pain doesn’t make me wanna prove my blood is red. Just give me sunshine and a clear blue sky And maybe some o’ that Boston Cream Pie. Some consider me a nerd, but I’m just as clueless as you. Ha, I’ve got way too many library books overdue. There’re some friendships ya just gotta reminisce. See ya somewhere beyond this oceanic abyss.

Hello, My Name Is Bianca.
Familiar “Buenos dias” from Bianca again, Sandwiched, betubed with 5000 miles to go, The blue-black spaceness of the endless sky, And runwayless earth of comfortable clouds, Reflecting on what has been and is yet to come, A million miles of poetry, pain and pleasure, Star Trek on the TV, seared Tilapia on my plate, Flying to you for a first-date hello-again feeling.

It’s nice to have some holiday downtime and not be all go-go-go. I’ve even gotten in some Animal Crossing play. After 40 minutes of picking up weeds, Bianca, one of my villagers, told me she’d heard I was dead. Later, we’re in Lisa’s living room taking turns playing songs from Spotify. Lisa just played “Woo”, by Rihanna. When the song ends, fading out, Leeza deadpan said, “That song is pure evil.” “You guys, I forgot to mention it but that is my energy song, it makes me feel so HOT.” Lisa adds with a chuckle. “It has an evil vibe,” I admit. “An evil vibe,” Leeza confirms. “Don’t be judging,” Lisa reminds us. “Your next,” Lisa said, nodding to Leeza, “What’ve you got for us,” she speculates, “some mental health rock?” Leeza’s had this girl-punk-rock group called “Vancougar” playing on a loop in her room. At first, I wasn’t enthusiastic but now I think they slay. Her mom’s even gotten on board, dancing “the twist” to “Philadelphia” when it rolls around. Leeza has great taste in music although she leans a bit EMO (emotionally hard core) for me. She makes me feel old by introducing us to all these new bands like “Youngest and only,” “Calling all Captains” and “Beatrice Dear.” “I’ve got one song to play,” Leeza says, “Paparazzi, by Lady Gaga.” “I’ve been listening to that song all WEEK!” I gasp, “I love that song, it may be her best - that’s so random,” I finish saying as the song starts. As Paparazzi ends Lisa says, “That song has major Gwen Stefani vibes.” “It DOES,” I agree, “It could be “Cool” or “Sweet Escape.” “Yeah, for sure,” Leeza agreed, “shoutout to No Doubt.” Leeza says, “I have a conversation topic: What’s something we all acknowledge is cheugy but we still do anyway?”   “Being blonde,” I say, which gets stitches of laughter because it’s true and Lisa and I are. “That’s true, that’s fair,” redheaded Leeza laughs. “Anyone blonde is dead to me,” which gets her a pillow in the face. “Ok, I’m going to come for a lot of people,” Lisa says, “but yogurt, yogurt is cheugy.” Leeza gasps, “You think yogurt.. It’s not cheugy!” she practically yells, “It gives MOM.”

Bianca Lorenzo Your pretty wings stretch farther than the arms I long to hold to fly into the breathe that speaks of sultry whispers in my ears is what I dream of. Your eyes can't reach my beauty my soft exterior won't allow it I seek the remedy that allows my heart to beat when i can't see you so I close my eyes to feel the strokes that part my indecisions Love took time by storm when it left us alone in quiet rooms you leave my tongue heavy with the words that I can't roll out and my heart beats in intervals of two once for me and once for you... James Desire Reach for the sky so that these pretty wings may carry you too because we both dream of a shared solitude that would ignite our souls and express our passion so why not make our dreams a reality... Steel chains cage my heart with a lock in the middle that requires  your touch free me and reveal everything that the smile contains hidden inhibitions that call out your name Our bodies rage in responce to each others animalistic phase a struggle to tame our hearts begin whenever we reach this stage so i'll give you all my love and feed the beast that resides within us both so we can both find ecestacy in each other....

Pretty Wings [Collaboration w/ Bianca Lorenzo]
I quel giorno, quando mi hai lasciato sola sul prato bagnato, sono morta per ben 13 secondi & tu non te ne sei accorto neanche. ** lavato la mia faccia con whiskey scadente & tutto è andato per il meglio. II se dovessi scegliere un'altra vita vorrei tanto che fosse un'esistenza fatta di cristallo & acqua ghiacciata, penso al profumo della lavanda e a lunghi, lunghissimi nastri blu. III passo il mio tempo a graffiare con le chiavi la vernice delle auto e a raccontare in simboli tutto ciò che non so il mio tempo perduto in cambio del tuo primogenito. IV vivevamo in una casa bianca & tu sparavi ai conigli davanti ai miei occhi & io ti amavo ma allo stesso tempo speravo di poter sparare in faccia te, faceva caldo, a casa nostra era sempre giugnoluglioagosto, esisteva solo una stagione, nelle altre dormivamo. V io sono viola scuro, sono polvere, sono sostanze luccicanti, sono fumo, sono nulla, sono tutto ciò che intasa i tuoi polmoni, tutto ciò che ti rovina il fegato.

Ma tu continua e perditi, mia vita, per le rosse città dei cani afosi convessi sopra i fiumi arsi dal vento. Le danzatrici scuotono l'oriente appassionato, effondono i metalli del sole le veementi baiadere. Un passero profondo si dispiuma sul golfo ov'io sognai la Georgia: dal mare (una viola trafelata nella memoria bianca di vestigia) un vento desolato s'appoggiava ai tuoi vetri con una piuma grigia e se volevi accoglierlo una bruna solitudine offesa la tua mano premeva nei suoi limbi odorosi d'inattuate rose di lontano.

Se musica è la donna amata
Lost; Lost in her Massive beautiful eyes Oh Bianca, My Seraph in disguise her skin has diamond patterns Her voice like my dear own Mother's For her I lay Spineless for her heart is my own Metropolis When She feels lonely I will not leave her in Isolation I reckon she does not feel the same way I hate my own premonitions This love For her does not make me wary Oh Bianca You are my Sanctuary and when life gets meaningless you are my Dictionary You are so Unique! Your Vogue and your Face, none can compete You make my outermost shell complete Please do tell me, does Noble love exist? Oh Bianca, You I can't resist Your body is so Luminous and you light up my entire Universe

Oh'BIANCA
Sole di mezzogiorno, nel luglio felice, sulla piazza deserta: piazza lontana di città lontana, tu ed il tuo uomo, e quello era il mondo. Bianca nella tua veste, bianca vibratile fiamma tu pure, nell'abbaglio d'incendio dell'aria. Bianco il tuo riso perduto nel riso di lui, fresco di polla il tuo riso d'amore tra il vasto fulgere ed ardere. Non sarebbe discesa la notte, non sarebbe venuto il domani, tua la luce, tuo l'uomo, tuo il tempo. Fermasti il tempo in pieno sull'ora solare per cui in terra tu fosti divina: il resto è ombra e polvere d'ombra.

Il sole e l'ombra
I turbini sollevano la polvere sui tetti, a mulinelli, e sugli spiazzi deserti, ove i cavalli incappucciati annusano la terra, fermi innanzi ai vetri luccicanti degli alberghi. Sul corso, in faccia al mare, tu discendi in questo giorno or piovorno ora acceso, in cui par scatti a sconvolgerne l'ore uguali, strette in trama, un ritornello di castagnette. È il segno d'un'altra orbita: tu seguilo. Discendi all'orizzonte che sovrasta una tromba di piombo, alta sui gorghi, più d'essi vagabonda: salso nembo vorticante, soffiato dal ribelle elemento alle nubi; fa che il passo su la ghiaia ti scricchioli e t'inciampi il viluppo dell'alghe: quell'istante è forse, molto atteso, che ti scampi dal finire il tuo viaggio, anello d'una catena, immoto andare, oh troppo noto delirio, Arsenio, d'immobilità... Ascolta tra i palmizi il getto tremulo dei violini, spento quando rotola il tuono con un fremer di lamiera percossa; la tempesta è dolce quando sgorga bianca la stella di Canicola nel cielo azzurro e lunge par la sera ch'è prossima: se il fulmine la incide dirama come un albero prezioso entro la luce che s'arrosa: e il timpano degli tzigani è il rombo silenzioso Discendi in mezzo al buio che precipita e muta il mezzogiorno in una notte di globi accesi, dondolanti a riva, - e fuori, dove un'ombra sola tiene mare e cielo, dai gozzi sparsi palpita l'acetilene - finché goccia trepido il cielo, fuma il suolo che t'abbevera, tutto d'accanto ti sciaborda, sbattono le tende molli, un fruscio immenso rade la terra, giù s'afflosciano stridendo le lanterne di carta sulle strade. Così sperso tra i vimini e le stuoie grondanti, giunco tu che le radici con sé trascina, viscide, non mai svelte, tremi di vita e ti protendi a un vuoto risonante di lamenti soffocati, la tesa ti ringhiotte dell'onda antica che ti volge; e ancora tutto che ti riprende, strada portico mura specchi ti figge in una sola ghiacciata moltitudine di morti, e se un gesto ti sfiora, una parola ti cade accanto, quello è forse, Arsenio, nell'ora che si scioglie, il cenno d'una vita strozzata per te sorta, e il vento la porta con la cenere degli astri.

Ritrovarmi in questo ovale con un legame vitale in solitudine a volteggiare con l 'infinito aspettare di qualcosa. Sognare di poter camminare in un nuoto perpetuo di pensieri intravedendo una luce bianca. La fine di tutto. Uno schiocco Un pianto. La nascita della vita in bracccio a giganti biancheggianti. Crescendo vidi cose senza senso cosciente del perduto collettivo senno. Vidi uomini con biancheggianti vestiti baciare e non procreare di fronte a un freddo altare in nome di una croce e un continuo narrare. Esseri travestiti professare falsi miti e scuole dove si imparava a vivere lasciando l'intelligenza reprimere. Sicuri di un tranquillo lavoro si sedevano su un falso trono lasciando che un finto quadrato rubassero loro gli anni d'oro. Ed ora piano piano mi invecchio sperando ancora in un qualche cambiamento. Disteso in un biancheggiante letto rimango cosciente che della vita e delle esperienze connesse ad essa non mi interessa piu niente. Tutto improvvisamente si illumina di bianco e mi appresto al grande salto. Ma con me non posso portare nient'altro che un tatuaggio situato dentro al cuore con impresso dentro il nome di quella persona che in questa vita mi diede tanto amore.

Esistenza
Does not mean I am a ***** Yes, ******* is fun. Bianca tells me so, Greg too, and his crew. You think so, we all do, but I want more. It all starts the same, with an ordinary encounter. She starts with her name and where she's come from. I want to hear about her life; her home/ her heart. You know that saying. I can feel curiosity filling me, The ropes of our bond tighten with each word. I ask him questions, just to hear him speak. I stare deep; behind his eyes, undivided. His company gives me purpose, Gives me ecstasy. I can see her everything. The walls she's built, tore down to rebuild; The preciousness of what she protects. We are nothing but human. We need love, companionship, friendship. That does not make me a *****

Pansexuality
Le dicevano: - Bambina! Che tu non lasci mai stesa, dalla sera alla mattina, ma porta dove l'hai presa, la tovaglia bianca, appena ch'è terminata la cena! Bada, che vengono i morti! I tristi, i pallidi morti! Entrano, ansimano muti. Ognuno è tanto mai stanco! E si fermano seduti la notte intorno a quel bianco. Stanno lì sino al domani, col capo tra le due mani, senza che nulla si senta, sotto la lampada spenta. - È già grande la bambina: la casa regge, e lavora: fa il bucato e la cucina, fa tutto al modo d'allora. Pensa a tutto, ma non pensa a sparecchiare la mensa. Lascia che vengano i morti, i buoni, i poveri morti. Oh! la notte nera nera, di vento, d'acqua, di neve, lascia ch'entrino da sera, col loro anelito lieve; che alla mensa torno torno riposino fino a giorno, cercando fatti lontani col capo tra le due mani. Dalla sera alla mattina, cercando cose lontane, stanno fissi, a fronte china, su qualche bricia di pane, e volendo ricordare, bevono lagrime amare. Oh! non ricordano i morti, i cari, i cari suoi morti! - Pane, sì... pane si chiama, che noi spezzammo concordi: ricordate?... È tela, a dama: ce n'era tanta: ricordi?... Queste?... Queste sono due, come le vostre e le tue, due nostre lagrime amare cadute nel ricordare! -.

La Tovaglia
I love it when I see them. Those two lady beauties, those twin faces. Their skin is like the snowy Sierra mountains in winter, A Bianca so pale and that catches all the light shining around them. Those twin smiles radiate two mysteries of the same coin. One a mystery so solemn and careful, you could never sneak up on it. The other a playful mystery, that with a rascal excitement Is ready to drag you with it to find the answer. They are beautiful! The most unique beauty I have yet beheld. Their presence is like a storm in the far distant sky, The air is warm prior the approach of something powerful. Their singing voices echo through the air and like a siren’s song Brings you in so you will listen closer. Don’t stop singing. Don’t stop. I am like a smiling child when I see them, Those two twin beauties.

Twin Beauties Beheld
E cielo e terra si mostrò qual era: la terra ansante, livida, in sussulto. Il cielo ingombro, tragico, disfatto: bianca bianca nel tacito tumulto una casa apparì sparì d'un tratto; come un occhio, che, largo, esterrefatto, s'aprì e si chiuse, nella notte nera.

Il Lampo
They called me an iconoclast Blessed With a templar-like fervor, Fueled by my devotion To the intangible potentate, Logic -- Omnipresent, omnipotent. But how could I be? Not with Katarina and Bianca Still resting in grottoes. Not when I still stop by now and then, Meandering in from my countless excursions, Traipsing about in my mind, To leave a few trinkets And light some candles And maybe a murmured prayer. Those snapshots of memory Revisiting me on rare occasions now, But not a moment of recollection goes by Without remembering Katarina Writhing beneath my grip, Her slender fingers entwined with mine, Or Bianca Enclosing me in her warmth, Her gnarled hands reeking of cigarettes. Their I love yous, I like yous, Whispers and kisses, All branded on my skin. No, sir. Label me not As one, Not when I still keep their memories On a pedestal, Not when I still heave sighs Of longing and fondness To herald in nostalgia And its hangers on, Regret and despair, However blasphemous. An iconoclast I am not. Anything but. Revile me For exalting heretics. I deserve the rack and the stake For becoming Just as much a heretic As the ones I was tasked to condemn.

Beeldenstorm
Vedova, lavorò senza riposo per la bambina sua, per quel suo bene unico, da lo sguardo luminoso; per essa sopportò tutte le pene, per darle il pan si logorò la vita, per darle il sangue si vuotò le vene. - La bimba crebbe, come una fiorita di rose a maggio, come una sultana, da la materna idolatria blandita; e così piacque a un uom quella sovrana beltà, che al suo desio la volle avvinta, e sposa e amante la portò lontana!... ... Batte or la pioggia dal rovaio spinta ai vetri de la stanza solitaria ove la madre sta, tacita, vinta: schiude essa i labbri, quasi in cerca d'aria; ma pensa: "La diletta ora è felice... ". E, bianca al par di statua funeraria, quella sparita forma benedice.

La madre
"Credi che il tuo sia vero amore? Esamina a fondo il tuo passato" insiste lui saettando ben addentro la sua occhiata di presbite tra beffarda e strana. E aspetta. Mentre io guardo lontano ed altro non mi viene in mente che il mare fermo sotto il volo dei gabbiani sfrangiato appena tra gli scogli dell'isola, dove una terra nuda si fa ombra con le sue gobbe o un'altra preparata a semina si fa ombra con le sue zolle e con pochi fili. "Certo, posso aver molto peccato" rispondo infine aggrappandomi a qualcosa, sia pure alle mie colpe, in quella luce di brughiera. "Piangere, piangere dovresti sul tuo amore male inteso" riprende la sua voce con un fischio di raffica sopra quella landa passando alta. L'ascolto e neppure mi domando perché sia lui e non io di là da questo banco occupato a giudicare i mali del mondo. "Può darsi" replico io mentre già penso ad altro, mentre la via s'accende scaglia a scaglia e qui nel bar il giorno ancora pieno sfolgora in due pupille di giovinetta che si sfila il grembio per le ore di libertà e l'uomo che le ha dato il cambio indossa la gabbana bianca e viene verso di noi con due bicchieri colmi, freschi, da porre uno di qua uno di là sopra il nostro tavolo.

Il Giudice
I stood before the mirror Transfixed by the image Staring back at me I knew her The woman’s hair was long and brown Her face lovely and long Her eyes were light blue She smiled knowingly at me I knew she was me I had seen her in my mind I had heard her soft voice At one time I had loathed her Now I loved her deeply Bianca looked knowingly Into my tired eyes It was like she was a non-corporeal lifeform That I couldn't touch with my hands A specter perhaps? I smiled back wishing With all my inner being That she could leave the reflection And we could embrace But I cannot truly touch her She is encased in my mind Far from my consciousness Separated from my life Only part of who I am I hated to turn away From the smiling fresh face I didn’t want to see As her vision faded away I stood a moment longer I reached out my hand to feel her face I gently stroked the cold glass edges Of the mirror The image reached back Suddenly I felt so overwhelmed Knowing I could not touch her Hot tears rolled down my cheeks The agony of our isolation swept over me I brushed my tears away Smiling one last time I turned to go Behind me I could hear her sobbing She was so lost, so lost The pain was almost unbearable How terrible is the loneliness We must suffer in the world How much more so it must be For the images we have formed I wept for the soul I had created in my mind The image of who I wished I could be Forever separate, yet one Trapped in a mirror

Trapped in a Mirror
[Enter Marco, a young Milanese courtier.] _It is he, is it not, whose honeyed barbs drip with sweet condescension, and whose kisses taint fair Bianca’s lips with similar speech? Behold, how he frames her vision to reflect his own and directs her preferences accordingly. Fie, I have been April’s fool in believing Antonio my ally. His encouragement was as sweetmeats to a greedy child; but I have chipped a tooth on that candy-coated morsel and found its centre to be flavoured with deceit. My cousin Bianca, whose name speaks directly to her nature, whose light once made shadows dance for joy; how extinguished she appears now. For as Antonio sparkles and splutters at her side, her brilliance flickers and fades. Lo, how he has seeded his untruths within her honest heart. His lies smuggled like contraband, his blandishments the articles of his trade. God’s wounds! Such a purveyor of frippery and falsehood I have never met the equal of. It is high time to confront this sneak thief in his lurking-hole and to uncloak his creeping connivance. I shall bottle my rival’s words and choose carefully the occasion for their uncorking; then pour for the crowd a rich liquor of ripe requital._
