Para Siempre

Fare thee well, my fairytale
One day I'll learn to read you
Until then, this unfilled pen
has no more ink to bleed you

Compilation of Comparison

I'm not green, but given this water I'll grow
My arms are vines meant to hold and show
the roots of a love that only knows progression
the winds spread my seed that one day you'll know

I'm not blue, but my heart's learned a current
My pull, a gravitation towards beautiful mass
liquidity of emotions warmed by shining light
May I flow into infinity knowing how to last

I'm not red, but my eyes know how to burn
the heat of a gaze into my shroud of rhythm
a warmth found in my touch, my breath
My lips create a spark, for fire, my tongue's given

Anticipation

PART I.
When I grow up, I wanna do important things
I’ll go to pretty places, I’ll know every part
I will be famous and everyone will know me
If I want to, I can, Dad says I have the smarts

When I grow up, I wanna be just like Dad
I’ll drive a car, I’ll play the guitar
I will always smile and never be mad
If I believe, my dreams will take me far

When I grow up, I wanna go to school
I’ll learn new things, I’ll teach everyone I know
I will have fun in everything that I do
If I look, I can find something new everywhere I go

When I grow up, I wanna meet someone like Mom
I’ll hug her when she’s sad, I’ll wipe her tears away
I will treat her like Dad treats Mom
If I try, I can make her the happiest girl I know everyday


PART II.
When I grow old, I want to stay active
I will be in shape, time will not affect me
I will watch my kids grow and be proud
I will be independent, no one need protect me

When I grow old, I want to be visited
I want to be their favorite, to be the best
I want to be the one who makes everyone happy
One that won’t leave until every frown’s left

When I grow old, I want to go outside
I want to smell summer, hear the birds
I want see the beauty that surrounds me
I want to share wisdom, they might hear my words

When I grow old, I want to meet my Grandchildren
I want to see the creations of the love I once made
I want to hold them in my arms and remember youth
I want to show them a love that in time will never fade


PART III.
After I am gone, all that I’ve done will be worth it
I want to have fulfilled my dreams, reached my goals
I want to have made a difference for the ones I love
I will have lived a youthful life, even while I was old

After I am gone, all I wish to leave behind is a smile
I want those that remember me to forget how to frown
I want the world to know my legacy, may it live on
That cheeks were always highest when I’d come around

After I am gone, I want them to have learned from me
I want them to know my success and not make my mistakes
I want them to see this beautiful world the way I did
May they realize it can be theirs if they do what it takes

After I am gone, I want them to know my love is never far
I want them to know they haven’t lost a thing in my absence
I want them to see I appreciate the privilege of knowing them
May they appreciate nature and all the beauty of her madness.

Two for One

eyes of glaze, half closed _so the lights shine brighter.
images distort before me.
eyes I've made, burn _in flames of a lighter.
inside those who adore me.

The Rumors Were True

I heard she was a sight to see, so i thought to give her a gaze.
heard she was something beautiful to see at the end of a long day.
When I found her, She was more than I'd expected
I found peace within her visage, so calm and collected
The wind ceased its rage, lost in awe of her glow
Found myself stuck, there was no where else to go.
My lips forgot its words to speak, so i spoke with my eyes
reflecting her immense beauty, as I looked up at the sky.

Dearest moon, My eyes love you
you give me something new every night
You have blessed me with your gifts
So I will never lose sight.
Though my body is weak and must retire
know my mind is alive and it seems
You've kindled my heart; a forest fire
which will burn through every minute of my dreams.

Until then my Moon, may my hands reach you
that I may grab you and pull you close
May my lips greet you with eloquence
to show it is you; I desire most.

I don't know

i could light a thousand fires
and still wouldn't know your heat
i can't hide my own desires
in my dreams we always meet
i don't even know you
but that doesn't mean im not ready
to take the time to figure out
everything about you, if you'd let me
