The pain goodbyes bring
For then the air thins-
and it’s a little harder to breath.
Every heartbeat stings
The tongue goes wild
All you can say is
La vida es bella!
I end this year the way I lived it—moving.
Scarred knuckles, quiet wins, loud lessons.
I learned that silence can teach,
that roads don’t apologize for being long,
and that becoming costs more than dreaming.
Some days bent...
Ruby;
Like a sweet childhood song
I know you so well
But I still
Can’t get enough
Ruby,
Like the deep blue sea
I’ve seen you a thousand times
But you’re still
My favorite sight
Ruby,
Like the...
Walk with me
as slow
as you can
for I want it
to last
as long
as it can.
She’s in love with sunsets
And all beautiful endings
Nature is in love with her, too
Every evening these two lovers
Stare and admire each other
Stars, sky - like a seductive sea,
I swear they tickle me,
And in them I see,
Every wonder I could be!
To my sanctuary I return—
A tranquil night.
I wash the city away
From the ebony of my skin
Under a soothing stream,
Warm as the sun
That I long to see
On such a lonesome night.
We are not just survivors,
patched up with scars and silent battles.
We are architects,
laying bricks of hope on the ruins of yesterday.
We are not just wanderers,
drifting where the wind may take us.
We are...
Saturday nights,
Always the big fight
A fight to say no
To the known;
And yes, to the unknown!
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love.
Time drives the flocks from field to fold
When Rivers rage and Rocks grow...
The longer it takes
My heart it bakes
This thing…
I see the days
I feel the nights
This thing…
As sure as the sky is blue
All my heart wants is you!
He spits on the face of the gods;
And still they sing his songs
Our stories; tears and hurt,
Are fodder for his craft.
What we whisper in shame,
He sings his way to fame.
Many men are born,
But forgotten once...
