The Moment

The one you thought you loved
Is someone that doesn't exist;
You thought you could do anything 
But in all actually, it's impossible;
The toughness that was a defense against others
Is merely an emotional response,
not strength;
That even though your dream is wanting to run away from everything and everyone,
That every word escaping from your mouth is a blatant and pathetic lie;
You have nothing and this nothing began when you experienced death.

This is the moment when you realize
The sadness you think you feel
Is real just like the rest of the realities running through your mind because you are tired of living
and so is someone else but they just have the courage and confidence to end their life to make your feelings of disbelief and lack of self confidence overpowering.

seven 2 one

I used to believe in many things,
but now all I can do is look straight ahead
without glancing at the scenery passing by.

I'm not saying that everyday is not
composed of good times,
but I think most of the time I occupy
those days waiting for some sort answer.

All those acts in a play
act as markers in your life
but the in-between acts,
the ones you can't remember, 
expresses the fact that you've
grown out of your old clothes
concludes that you have grown up and over me.

There is never an answer to an equation
that can produce the
answers one is always striving
for, yearning for

We are not all robots on a grid,
this is not a science equation,
but you still believe you are the boss.
You can add, subtract or multiple,
but we will never be robots on a grid

For if we were we would only be seven 2 one.

A Delusion of Life

Among the delirious delusions that 
are taking advantage of a defenseless mind,
the insoluble burning began after stumbling
upon an island of uneasiness.

Though a dream,
a breathing spell in the midst of an
empty room would be proven insignificant,
especially within the melody that is heard
composed of confusion and offensive descants.

A lean and arrogant man,
with poisonous words leaking from dry lips,
becomes the master of communication;
a pride won by a mere misrepresentation and
irresistible, meaningless conversation.

It was during this time that a familiar
melancholy swept over me like a harsh wind
from a hurricane above the sea.

Yet, still, I still wonder what emotions mean to me.

Supposedly, it is nature’s snapshot of
cheap features trying to generate a luxurious image.
On the contrary,
perhaps that is Mother Nature`s intensions.
Still, disappearing and reappearing
within the margins of my mind
creates the scraps of conversation
and dim satisfaction.

The lies,
The passion,
The intolerable bitterness,
The futility,
The small, trivial aspects of this life
creates a halo of smog from a
chain of cigarettes and pollution.

I've always been irritated by the complacent
remorse that a ripple of a stream of consciousness,
a few healthy accusations,
and a dash of naivetés will chemically and automatically
produce a human being.

Reflections On a Window

The opaque glass keeping the air trapped
not letting any unidentifiable things enter,
has finally cracked leaving a thin line of
reconsideration and resentment.

I am now distorted,
A misrepresentation that has been
Twisted into a crooked image.
Making sense of this situation seems more
Natural than supernatural but
I never enjoyed mixing lights and darks
When washing away the dirt left from the day before.

This silhouette, however, makes me wonder
What exactly is confined within this window.

It's not me.
I definitely don't have that physical appearance
Of green eyes, brown hair
And uncontrollable debates of
Escaping or staying.

I know I cannot be restrained within this opening,
Being in limbo within this dream,
Lingering in this mental constipation.
This puts a single thought in my mind that
Maybe enough light did not come through.

Then, a reunion has commenced.
It is here that I realize there are moments when I miss you.
On the contrary, I reconsider the person in the window,
Stuck inside, but in all sincerely has no interest in
Wanting to come out.

Where Am I Going?










                 

The narrow streets
that create this country,
is what really gave the intriguing desire
that was needed to live 
within this unique environment.

It's beauty, even the "taken for granted"
roads that are used after a
long working day, is still beautiful.
Whether or not you can see it,
Whether or not you want to see it,
Whether or not you just want to forget life itself,
I have no advice for you.

Just open your eyes, see the beauty of it.
I ask for this simple task only
because I cannot see everything you do.

I can only see things I wish I couldn't.
These things can only be narrowed down:
Humans, narrow streets, and death

Keeping it Together


The idea of it seemed easy
but I soon acknowledge 
that the complexity was
what intrigued me. 
I studied it,
thought I could grasp it
but I never did.
No, not really...
Only a sip of it;
the smudginess of it;
the wanting to open presents before 
christmas eagerness of it.
In actuality,
I never understood how
it could be more than whole,
but the wholeness itself was
the luxury of the idea,
the idea that the halves
are the ones that hold you 
in half.
I didn't know,
don't know about the 
in between bits and pieces;
the savage bits of you,
the violent bits of me.

Savor of Bitterness

The savor of bitterness
Seasoned my feelings for him,
But cooking was never my forte.

On the contrary,
I wanted to impress the individual,
Thinking that maybe, for once, 
His breath could be stolen
Instead of mine.

A tart filled with
The smell of broken promises
Was given to the man
Who could never even keep one.


Resentment of what
Never happened
Was also mixed into the
Ingredients.


With it's spiteful taste
And jealous color,
The feeling of being
Content with someone left
My soul and my mind.

I remember the face you made,
The grimacing, unsatisfied
Face that I will never see again.

What a waste of food.

Starvation


As the bed was beneath me
And the infinite blackness was above me,

The thought penetrated my mind
Like an epiphany entering an author's mind with 
Writer's block. 

I was thinking,
There is always this struggle,
This strong desire,
this constant hunger for love.

Just once,
I want to know what it like
to get my fill of it.
It doesn't matter what 
flavor or smell it possesses,
I just want to be fed so much
love that I cant
physically, mentally, or emotionally
take anymore from anyone.

Just once.
I want the hunger pain 
Deep within the pit of my stomach
To disappear because of so much
Affection that has been given to me.

Just once,
I want to be fed a love
That could survive anything,
Even a famine.

Just once,
I want to feel the security
Of knowing that I am
Going to be fine,
That this devotion will survive.

That this insanity I feel
Is just a phase of life,
And in midst of it all,
The void that has been
Filled will cease to exist.

Just once.

Simple Madness

The most disturbing part of it being that it could be true, you know?

The Untitled Person


Lost in the admiration
Of a human being
Possessing the intelligence
That can only come
Into view within the delayed
Development of sensibility and
Dexterous talent
Called survival.

To support oneself
Through these treacherous
Endeavors is the task that
Keeps oneself functioning
Within this mechanical
World of suits and tiny phones
Along with the occasional
Cigarette pack, some beer, and a coffee.

This vital skill that soon
Defines an incompetent character
Expands into what is called a
Human being,
A man,
Even a woman.

The Fertility of this origin
Is merely an irritation that
Delivers inconveniences
Which then is fabricated
Into a remarkable, original problem.

This problem stems from the
Fruit of development that
Seduces the seducible,
Creating an admiration
Towards the word
Survival and how
It is completely impossible
Yet the struggle is what
Appeals to us all.

Survival

Laying awake on the stained bed
of charcoal and blood
seems to be the ideal night
within this dream of lighting strikes and rain fall.

With each puncture into the ground, 
my brain crashes and has to begin again,
rebooting the system from the beginning.
No wonder why retaliation is lacking
within these thoughts.

Memories are lost with instant foreshadowing,
bones are broken because of the lack of calcium
and then the long, dark tunnel appears
with cars moving in and out 
as if it was an anthill filled
with busy ants trying to survive. 

I never understood the art of survival.
The survival of the fittest never appealed
because who defines "fit" or not. 
Suppose it was The Man,
The Men of all men 
that has the pen and paper
to write down the regulations
of what is proper and corrupt.

Then, the cage that you are in
begins to melt because of the 
radioactive mobs
that are just trying to find a way out.

Joining them seems pleasing,
but I think I'd rather
just kill The Man
myself.

Love

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

-DR. SEUSS


The doctor says it all,
With his words of wisdom
Between the thin line of
Dreaming and reality. 

I find love divine and
It's power can always
Fill the void and anxiety
That is left when awoken.

However,
Since this line that
Separates dreaming about love
And having love within your reality
Is Very fragile, it can
Be cut with a simple
Pair of scissors.

therefore, it is
Better not to run
Towards a better reality
With scissors in
Your hands.

Nothing is Easy


As one tells everyone how it is,
the head begins to swell
Because of all the pride
That has sunk into the skin.

The hopes of separating
What is true from
What is Accurate
Will be an advantage until
it cannot continue.

Questions are empty jars
Filled with the realities of
Frequent loneliness and
Yearning for the touch of another.

At some point,
The realization becomes too real
And when challenged by reality,
When one stands and stares
Into the eyes of the secrets 
that are buried beneath the soil
Death awaits,
And it is very, very
Painful.

There is no easy way out.
I suppose.

An Outlet


To this day, 
I still remember the first time I felt like this. 

This feeling of where the momentume of life 
was slowly diminishing; 
This feeling of how hopelessly in love I was with someone 
who seemed to be out or reach; 
This feeling of how I ran away from my home country 
because I couldn't handle my previous life; 
This feeling of how much I strive to hide myself 
so that I can be adored by others; 
This feeling of no matter how much I try to be what everyone wants me to be, 
I simply cannot. 

The effortless yet complicated feeling of how 
I wish I didn’t have to think anymore,
I hope that my brain would slow down, 
and I desire some sort of clarity within it all.

Then, perhaps my body will stop completely. 

Suddenly, the conclusion appeared.
This feeling of pure chaotic, perplexing desolation
that is dragging me towards the darkness like a 
broom sweeping up unwasted dust and dirt;
This feeling of constant and straining perturbation of uncontrolled blindless
like a fog covering the land after a storm
so that no one will be able to see the destruction it has done

is simply just me.

It is sad that this is the conclusion that I have stumbled upon.
This is because, since it is solely me that is the issue,
getting rid of the problem as soon as possible is the goal.

Music is not soothing to my ears,
Writing is stress on my hands,
Thinking are safes that cannot be opened,
Death is the outlet to infinite existence.

To Polish: A Poetic Synopsis

To shine in the sun;
To make silver gleam again;
To wax a car;
To paint finger nails.

Polishing oneself 
Is to make anew,
To fold the old clothes 
And buy new ones;
To break bad habits
Or create coping scenarios
For chaotic moments. 

To polish oneself   
Is the goal of all
Humans with a 
Strive towards perfection,
An eagerness to merge ahead,
A yearning for control. 

To polish oneself,
One must let go of the
Old self 

As hard and improbable
As that is currently,
The possibilities it could open
Are endless.

Making oneself better than before
Is what everyone does
In many different ways.
There are many things one can do
To "become better" than before;

But really,
Was before that bad?
No.
Of course not.
It's just that there is
One thing that is inevitable:

Change.

Though no one wants
To believe that one has changed,
This is unstoppable.
It happens in nature constantly
And it so happens that
We are a part of nature.

Though being God does sound divine, 
That is quite impossible.

I don't even believe in God.
Not anymore.
I'm through with
Hoping and praying 
And trying to change 
my feelings,
My thoughts,
For it will naturally occur
Without force.

For now,
I step aside 
And put my thumb out 
To see my life from the outside.
I'll hitchhike my way 
Through each passing moment;
Contemplating and studying  
Each moment,
Soaking in each tear,
And evaluating each emotion.

This sadness is
Inevitable.

This loneliness is 
Natural. 

Everyone feels lonely;
Everyone wants security:
Everyone wants to polish themselves.

Everyone is the same. 

I hate this boring life. 
No wonder why I have 
Nothing to say anymore.

Imposing

Soap suds stain the tile floor
as the unknown female exits the shower room
carrying nothing but her towel
and identity.

The lose hair that decays
when the water drips from the hose,
clogs the drain that once was an outlet
for cleanliness. 

The smell of a woman is in the air
even though one has already 
passed through.

No one can take the place of a sibling of
misfortune. 
No one can take the place of a sibling related
To the grim reaper.

I, for one, don't want to.
Please.
Stop telling me everything is okay.
I can't handle the lies beneath.

Better hurry and get out
Before its too late;
Before damage is done. 

Oh no, it has already begun.

Unexpected Faces

The face of intimacy appeared
on the screen of abandonment.

I have missed the instances of us.

I thought the world
would show me everything,
but no, i realized
that it was me just lacking you.

The moments together;
piles of cigarettes,
porno photographs,
illegal potions,
and lost kisses
with endless touches;
i don't know what
to do when the
need of you
is so severe.

I found the answer.
I know the answer
and i had to figured it out
alone, on my own time,
here in this strange area
of tan skin, black fur and symbols.

I'm sorry for leaving you,
for altering
my state of consciousness.

However, I am here.
I am everything for you.
Lets continue this.
For if we don't,
I might end the delusion
and the romance will be concluded.






With conclusion an ending follow.
With a conclusion, the end will soon come.
Then, I will die next to the willow tree.
It is then,
I will be free.



Robotics of Lonliness












I cannot tolerate being alone
for it scares the shit out of me
with its' anxiety filling cavities
and nonchalant kisses of trickery.

I cannot tolerate isolation
for it makes me feel like 
I am already departed
with it's paralyzing soul
and infertile uterus.

I cannot tolerate personages
for they believe themselves
to be above all else,
especially loneliness and isolation.

I, for one, will always be like this:
Weak and depressed for the
love of something other than 
a beating heart and a rational mind.

Now, I can find peace with the robotics of life.














Masochist




I enjoy the pain you give me.
I enjoy the pain I receive from you.
I enjoy your pain that you receive.
I enjoy your pain that you produce.
Let me help you.


No.
Never mind.
I am exhausted.
I changed my mind.
This is a quick occurrence.
Actually,
Let me help you.
I know I can.
The strength that can be
emitted could be the
answer.


Oh...
No, not really.
Leave me alone now.

Lullaby




I am completely lost.
All I want to do is sleep.
Sleep for years
and years
with my mind being bare.
I want to jailbreak
from this prison I am in.
It's not what I deserve
but I give up.
I am surrendering now.
I'm exhausted.
I can't stand to see you
next time and this 
is the worst feeling i can feel
even though I can't feel anymore.
So what is this feeling?
My body, mind and soul
is burnt out.
numbness is overcoming
as cold as winter.
Tears are streaming
like a gentle waterfall.
Let me sleep.
Say goodnight.
I wont awake again.
Goodnight, everything;
Goodnight, me;
Goodnight, you.

Goodnight.

Spider Webs

As I see the chair,
empty with mistakes,
i try to keep my attention
on the pension i wont
regret.

Keeping myself occupied,
it's a hard task I have to do
because all i think about is suicide
and that's all i ask of you.

Keeping myself in control,
the neat and tidiness of myself,
i try to learn new ideas
but it doesn't change anything.

i hate it.
I caught myself.
I caught myself thinking
of the time that was spent
sulking in the moment
of calamity and anxiety.

I hate it.
I am caught.
I am caught in your web.
Please let me go
or hurry up and eat me alive.

Medical Poison In My System


Move slowly,
an inch at a time.
Rhyming is just cliche,
but then wouldn't
repeating the first line
be unconvincingly easier?

My mind is not well;
I feel like this is temporary
But I don't talk want to about it.
All I can do is compile drafts.

I wont ask for help.
I cant even rely on myself.
I wish I was somebody else.
Constantly.

I know I wont feel a thing,
these accomplishments
are translucent and are pulling
me in relentlessly.
Maybe repetition will save me.

But still,
all I can do is write it down.
Hopefully, this is temporary
since not feeling a thing
appears so much manageable.

And since I know I wont feel a thing
These accomplishments become brief,
they become so short-lived.

Help me find the origin
to what happens when we
reach each other.
Will it become an accomplishment?

House Love



Yep. I like house music. Benassi was the beginning of it all.

How Do You Feel?


The moments shared
between drinks and conversations,
how time passing,
what nothing but a mere
conjunction of body
movements and cigarette packs.

The thoughts on the floor,
the thoughts in my head,
the connection that 
is an ordinary thread,
can extend to the door
that will never shut.

Where you are,
where you will be,
the endless opportunities
of chance happening
and countless encounters
of mindless speech
and hugs never reached.

The unsavory distance
and the unpronounced feelings
of what is or was,
is as real as a prick
to the finger,
and how the technology 
of the brain with it's 
spaces and faces in between,
the moments cannot be disrupted,
and i hope that everything
that is up until now
will be persevered
and maintained
only so that one day
a convention will form.

Tonight

Eating together
Seemed normal
But I only noticed the food
That I had order was
Being played with instead 
Of eating as if it were enjoyable.

I see you on the other side,
no smile, not emotion.
I feel like this is
impossible, 
incomprehensible
Because the way you are
And the way you 
Move around each subject
Or never say anything except a no
Is a definition of virile.

However,
I am in love with you.
You love me too.
I will do anything for you.
But I think I am at my peak,
soon,
I will die.

That is,
Unless everything you have said is true.
Should I trust you?
Can I trust you?

I have trusted before,
and the grim reaper came
and took the life of the one
who cared the most.

Does that mean,
you reap what you sow?

this confusion,
will it pass?

I will wait for you.
I will try my best.
