Tailored

"Tailored"

You're Beautiful Covered In Flaws,

Perfection With All Of Your Falls.

We Suit Like The Moon And A Dream.

Your Soul Was Tailored For Me.

I Wear You Wherever I Go.

Your Eyes Confide With Mine

Our Love Intertwines With The Hope

Of Eternally Dividing Our Time.

A Permanent Déjà Vu

Of You Is Where I Live.

You Button Up The Truth

And Offer What No One Gives.

I Dress In Your Attire;

A Confidence Only I Own.

And Listen So That I May Hear

The Silence Between Your Words.

You're Tailored

To Fit

In My World.

Mirrors That Lie

"Mirrors That Lie"

And she stands right in front of it,

doubting what it says.

She looks a little deeper

as the reflections come to greet her.

They told her that no one

would ever fall for her and keep her,

and her tragic past sums the reason

that her life is getting cheaper.

It showed her all the memories

that took away her innocence.

A child forced to play the ugly tunes

with heavy instruments.

Growing up insecure

about defining what is beauty.

Is it in the eyes of the beholder

or in the magazines and movies?

Should she turn into seducing

to get attention from a potential,

like other women that fail to keep

their secret body confidential?

But while the woman with the short skirt

and open blouse is sad

because she know that's the only way

she'll get any attention,

the lady that's conservative

can feel nothing but mad

because all eyes are on the "open blouse"

and her class is never mentioned.

Just as those reflections

were about to make her cry,

she realized that she was beautiful

and the mirror

told a lie.

Break To Find

"Break To Find"

Break your fears to discover the unknown

and tear out of your comfort.

Unlock the chains that tame your name.

Release the pain to remain unhurt.

Be the judge of your all thoughts,

quit telling yourself lies.

Stop floating in a crowded sky

with what clips your wings to fly.

Break to find.

Transformation

“Transformation”

I Feel A Change

My Colors Bleed

They Paint The World

In Which I Live

I Close My Eyes

And Fly Away

But I’ll Return

Like Night For Day

Today I Die

To Be Reborn

Like Pretty Clouds

That Turn To Storms

My Passion Rains

It Floods The Sea

Who I Was Then

Can Now Be Free

Pending Love

"Pending Love"

I walk past you yesterday

but you didn't meet my eyes.

I waved a glow

into your darkness

but you didn't see my light.

Tomorrow's another day

that transforms into a night

and that converts into another chance

to win you in this fight.

You don't know that I exist

but I'm about to change your life

and that rope of fear your tied to

is about to feel my knife.

Today we're near again

but this time I get to greet you.

My name is Pending Love,

it's a pleasure to meet you.

I walked past you yesterday

but you didn't meet my eyes...

Salty Rain

“Salty Rain”

Underneath My Sky

Our Eyes Are In Disguise

When Dancing In Our Rain

Our Tears Don’t Have To Cry

I Feel The Words You Say

Before You Try To Speak

Underneath This Sky

Your Joy Is Part Of Me

So Rain Under My Clouds
And Rip Through Your Umbrella

Play The Silent Bliss Inside

Of You That Sings In Acapella

Let It Rain Let It Pour

Those Tears That You Avoid

And Soak Under My Sky

In Salty Tears Of Joy

Sunk

"Sunk"

Floating The Waves

Deviating Away

Colliding With All

The Scattered Debris

A Leak On The Vessel

From All Of The Hits

Sunk The Heart

To The Depth Of A Sea

And Now It Sinks

It Sinks In The Sea

Submerging To Find

What Curiosity Seeks

The Ocean Is Deep

With Wrecks Of A Love

Where Vulnerability

Sunk

The Darkest Hour

"The Darkest Hour"

In My Darkest Hour

I Beg That You Don't Go

I've Met This Time Before

Twenty-Three Hours Ago.

Moments Here Are Too Early

As Much As They Are Late

Seconds Fly The Slowest

Minutes Are Drenched In Pain

These Sixty Are All That Matter

Making Rest Hard To Count

I Ask That You Stay In My Company

Don't Leave Me Despite Of My Doubt

In My Darkest Hour

I Know That Hope Will Stay

The Remains

"The Remains"

Then One Day

The Mask Came Off

And Some Who Watched

Drifted Off

For That Beauty

They Once Saw

Was Now Covered

In its Flaws

Self Expression

Finally Free

A Flower Trapped

Inside Its Seed

Who Will Leave

And Who Will Stay

When All That's Left

Is What Remains

The Remains

Listen to this poem

Attention

"Attention"

Attention! Can I have it undivided for just a second?

Rip out of all your greedy desires and use your senses.

Let the scent of my sentence leave an aroma in your life,

So the next time you pass by you can take off your disguise.

Who am I? Or better yet, who would you like me to be?

Would you float to my island if my only friend was the sea?

Would you dare be my companion until we grew old

if I never revealed what was hiding under my clothes?

If the wick to my candle burned up the last of its drop,

would you walk in my dark room if I didn't have a god?

If the key I hold with no expensive logo made me rare?

Would you mind walking barefooted in the rain or would you care?

Naked from gold with a very thirsty heart to get drunk,

then hydrated on attention from a drink out of your cup.

And all I wanted from your time was to open you to see

that your attention isn't wanted if it isn't paid to me.

The real me. You may proceed as you please.

Liberty From Clouds

"Liberty From Clouds"

I've Taken Off The Blindfold 

I'm Not Blind Anymore

I Can See Pass My Vision

Sitting On A Higher Floor

My Desires Require 

For Me To Fly Without Wires

A Bird In A Clouded Sky

Refusing Songs With The Choir

I Am Everything That I Never

Imagined I Could Be

The Clarity Of My Distorted Soul

Is Finally Free

And The Only Reason Why

Tomorrow Wasn't Visible

Was That The Brush I Used 

To Paint My Life Was Invisible.

Avalanche

"Avalanche"

When those echos that detoured

came back to confuse my soul

Feeling warm with cold.

Found and lost.

Hate with love.

High and low.

Levitate me to the sky

then let me go

Avalanching through our past

I'm falling fast like melting snow.

And your presence only hurts me

when I knows that if it goes

my feet will feel a million pieces

as shatter through this floor.

Will your stay or will you go.

I'm at your peak and need to know

because there's a difference

between jumping off the top

and being thrown.

Still Living In A Cloud

"Still Living In A Cloud"

I'm Still Living In A Cloud,

So High Up I Can't Come Down 

I See Shadows Marching With Me 

But Nobody Is Around 

All The Voices That Would Travel 

Through Vibrations In The Air 

And The Affections Of A Touch 

Are Both Dissolving In Despair 

The Fear Inside Me Has Adapted 

To The Risk I Chose To Take 

In A Cloud That Holds Me Captive 

For Exchange Of Time And Dates 

This Abode May Look Pretty 

But There's Ugliness It Covers 

Like A Puddle Mixed With Oil 

That Reflects The Pretty Colors 

Blurry Sky, Blurry Sky 

What's The Hurry For A Night 

You're Not Passing No One Up, 

We're All Stopping At The Light 

With A Foot Outside The Fog 

I Take A Look Around The Town 

And See The People That I Love,

Lost Inside The Same Ol' Cloud 

If I Jump, I Leap Alone,

Leaving Everything I Own 

My Storyline Will Disappear 

But I Will Overthrow This Throne 

Intertwining My Beliefs 

Around A Parachute Of Courage,

Getting Ready For A Fall 

To A Surface With A Purpose

Closed Eyes

"Closed Eyes"

I wasn't always pretty, sad but it's the ugly truth.

In fact, when I was dark, all my colors were one shade above black.

You were the first person to show me that love wasn't a myth.

The first eyes that I woke up to and the first soul that I kissed.

But I came home one day to find your mind had just left.

Taken by a monster that took more than your last breath.

The remaining presence that was left, I held tightly in my arms.

Leaking all my first tears on your shadow, blanket and palms.

Lights off. You faded away like fast passing cars.

And as I let go for the last time, all the memories just paused.

All that I have is the intro of a story that never felt the end,

a smell I can only remember and an imaginary friend.

There's not a single day that passes were you don't slither in my thoughts.

But if I could I wouldn't change it for all the beauty that it brought.

I couldn't tell you that everything happens for a reason without a cry,

but I can promise you that when you closed your eyes

I opened mine.

Living In A Cloud

"Living In A Cloud"

I Am Living In A Cloud

So High Up It Feels Surreal

Disappearance Of The Ground

Brings Appearance To A Realm

I Can Hear The Screams And Whispers

Begging For Acceptance

Writing Stories Of My Life

On The Dresses Of A Sentence

How I Ache Just To Sink

Through This Cloud And Come Down

To Hear The Flowers, Smell The Sun,

See The Winds And Touch The Sounds

Hypocritically Laughing

At Myself In Joyful Pain

I Have Met So Many Others

But I Only Know Their Names

Will They Even Recognize Me

If We Stood Side By Side

Will Their Words Give Definition

To The Depth Inside Their Eyes

All My Memories Are Droplets

Those That Mold This New Home

I'm A Slave To This Crave

But My Chains Give Room To Roam

Nothing Hidden Is Alone

Every Secret Has A Sound

What We Mutter Is Understood

Every Sigh Is Really Loud

Free Your Mind And Fly With Me

For This Cloud Will One Day Reign

The Dirty Skies Will Clear

And Our Lives Will Be Erased 

Without A Trace

I'm Falling

"I'm Falling"

Please catch me, I'm falling. I'm falling deep into the clouds.

I slipped as soon as I heard you calling, it felt soft like the lightest sound.

My thoughts spring in a field of flowers, all growing with plenty of pretty colors.

They paint portraits of two hearts touching, an art we can both call "lovers".

Your gaze knocked me off balance it was a moment that we shared.

You caught and read my entire story with that very single stare.

Now gravity is pulling me, not only hard but with velocity.

You're all I need; physically, mentally, here with me.

Now catch me because I'm falling with my tears into a river.

Forced to explore more than the pains I always feared when I would shiver.

I've been broken from one piece and glued back with just one peace.

Placed on a flimsy table with labels that read "Do not touch please".

My boat is sinking in a shallow stream. I'm so afraid that I might drown.

And I can see all the swimming trout but I can't seem to pick one out.

Please catch me, I'm falling. I'm falling from the sky that's blue.

So please catch me from falling because I'm falling out of love with you.

The Same Things

"The Same Things"

She's looking for a smile with her name, I'm looking for a laugh with my last.
We're both seeking the same, for life is short and it will pass.
The music plays while we hold hands and spin around a crowded room.
Dancing like no one else is watching and our hearts are one in tune.
The closest pair like 1 and 2, dividing fingers with each other's.
Caressing palms while we're in public since the first day we became lovers.
We say good morning and goodnight despite an argument or fight.
We still talk before we dream about the lovely days of life.
While they drink cups out in the lights, we're drinking warm tea on a table.
Feeding each other all our secrets to make our bond a bit more stable.
All that we want has the same label. We're simply browsing for some bliss
It's all the simple things that matter when you're loving just to please.
One day my heart will fold a knee and take your soul with me to claim it.
There's always love destined to come when both are waiting for the same things. 

The same things.

One Year Away From Old

"One Year Away From Old"

The sun rises and one of my first surprises

is realizing that I survived when some died.

I've seen the waves wash away the beauty made out on the shore.

The ocean holding it like prisoners of war.

Outside is a playground full of innocent minds,

playing a life with no worries and oblivious to time.

Their spring will always shine from the cold like old gold

because their hearts are one year away from old.

I was once told that the older I get,

the more I'll regret.

So I had to let go of the past then learn to forgive and forget.

Live it like my last and drink it like my first.

Arrivals of the grey and wrinkles can't and will not quench my thirst.

I know that one day I'll expire but for now I will unfold.

Forever young until that day I'll stay one year away from old.
