La gente viene y va,
Pero los recuerdos permanecerán siempre ,
A medida que nuevos amigos vienen a lo largo,
Para hacer nuevos recuerdos,
De felicidad,
De la tristeza,
Siempre hay espacio para más....
Debo confesarte que
Tus recuerdos acarician mi corazón
Mientras que otros salen por la puerta.
Debo contarte que tus recuerdos son la razón por cual llevo esta sonrisa justo en este momento Escribiéndole esto
Debo decirte que tus recuerdos se mantienen en mi interior.........
Espero que yo también lo estoy.....
En el tuyo.

Strangers Heart
Marco Mondragon Nov 2016
I feel as if I had wasted my life my accomplishments were few and very dry
As I stand alone in this room filled with darkness
My ability to do good as always remains spark-less

My soul feeds on empty desires and hope
When I perish from earth; will my family be able to cope?
Mourn my death till resurrection?

Turn your gaze to someone who deserves your love and affection.
Of my skin women desired my complexion
Gravity itself cuts you off
But from me to you that was never my intention

Simplicity and uncertainty is surrounding the grey clouds of my mind.
Conquering different ideas but haven't come close to arrest the gift of thought.  
Constantly reminded of the Shadowless creatures I continuously fought
I give thanks to God because from his sons blood I was bought

After the sun has faded in the west
I'm suddenly touched and absorbed to ignite the flame of life
Encouraged by many to leave behind the madness and strife

Precision thinking is a must
I refuse to give up and return back into dust.

Weak I once was
Yearning the wrong I once wanted
Materialistic views I had and yes, I would flaunt them

Well, I have come this far....
I let gods word pierce both my body and soul
I'll write it on the tablets of my heart
To keep me balanced and forever hold the key to self control.  

-Marco Mondragon
2014 Poem
Marco Mondragon Nov 2016
Your kiss: a poison that is like the honey of bees. It brings sweetness to my mouth and it makes me reach out for more. I know I shouldn't, for it's poison that I'm drinking! But you are a beauty that I cannot resist

i do not love you
words are not in abundance
i am not drawn to you
like birds migrating to
warmer heavens
i felt something brief,
my breath was caught
by love's noose,
but stranger things happen,
i do not love you,
because to love you
would be to become you,
to capsize like a boat,
submerging into red seas,
i do not love in small measures,
to do so would be worse
than blasphemy,
i feel for you,
but i do not love you,
i do not search for your
face in crowds,
i do not love in honesty,
only lies pounding
hoofs on loves ground.
i cannot love you,
because the taste of it is
strange in my mouth,
an unwanted flavour,
like sand and dust,
in the midst of something
that should be sweet.
i do not love you,
or i cannot love at all.

I don't really like anything I've written lately but I've told myself if I keep thinking negatively then I'll never write anything at all. So here we go.


14/07/16 god this is awful why did i post it
i am forgettable
i am dull
i am a background character at best
never the hero
never the love interest
never the happy ending
always the passing glance
always half acknowledged
always the plan b
never the apple of anyone's eye
nothing special
nothing new or brilliant or beautiful
nothing memorable, no spark
i am beige
i am boring
i am only loved out of obligation
i do not exist
to you
or to anyone
or to anything
at all
vestige: (noun) a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists.
i want to grow up next door from you
i want to be seven years old with you
i want to put band-aids on your
skinned knees

i want to meet you in a book store
i want to talk about poetry and art and trotsky
i want to buy you a book like i'm
buying you a drink at the bar

i want to sit next to you on the train
i want to make small talk about the weather
i want to lend you my coat and forget
to ask for it back

i want to be a field nurse
if you're a wounded soldier
i want to change your gauze
and sneak you extra meal rations

i want to be a bystander
talking you off the ledge
i want to lead you gently back into the world

i want to be careful with your heart

i want to love you softly and abiding
agapē love: selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love
