Still Dream

I slip into a dream and you are there. 
You are as I remember you. You invoke feelings of when you were mine.
I begin to perspire. I don’t know what to say. I know it’s a dream, I don’t want 
to touch you because as soon as I do, I know the dream will end. 
I just stand there looking at your beauty radiate. I’m a prisoner in my own dream.
You fill me with happiness and in the dream everything is fine, it’s just us in a vast 
field of green pasture endless in distance. I want to tell you so much. I want to run to 
you and hug you, but my body does not respond. I just stand there and do nothing. 

In the dream I love you. 
I awake and I hate you. Sobbing I shut my eyes.
Nothing lasts, not even love.
Life is easier in a dream.

Self Realization

Stop! Listen to your heartbeat.
Concentrate on every thump as it slowly evaporates 
into the inner tissue of your soul. 
Silence manifests laterally,
drowning your body, leaving you with sharpened senses. 
Your limbs slowly detach from your fragile body
creating paranormal stratospheres in the surrounding cosmos.
All matter surrounding you dissolves until all turns to 
black shadow.
Solitude takes you and you are an irrelevant whisper 
within infinity. You gain consciousness,
you are in a pool of your most distant memories. 
You come to the realize that you never knew 
yourself, you were never even close. 
Suddenly you feel more in tune than ever.
You are reborn from the womb of your own heat
confident that you aren’t, you never were, and you never will be.

Hollow

I've seen myself in a dream
Like the falling of bronze leaves
A wrestles storm amidst silenced

Filters

I awoke into a sea of stars. No filters between our souls. Like a rabid sensation of time past forth. Melodies from your fingertips echo within, as the vibrations solidify the end of laws.  
Within this eternity we float endlessly, tumbling through unpaved desires. This sensation was bliss, until I awoke once more. I withered and died. Realizations in time, the heart cannot function without you in mind.

No Answer

Heaven muted in solemn storms,
waiting Anxiously, insanity taking hold
abrupt emotion Tenderly butchering stillness, impossible to 
control the Emptiness in HATE.

Poema Al Descanso

Mis rasgos murmuran entre la eternidad
soplando el sueno de mi corazón sin cesar. 
El aliento de mi ser cuelga como un sombra avanzando 
sobre un valle verde y sano.
Entre la primera lluvia nace sangre de mi infancia, circula
como una nube primitiva si descanso .
Neblina avanza sobre mi alma, el aire amargo confunde mis 
sentidos. 
Mi cuerpo fallece.
Renazco con mis antepasados, hasta el fin de los tiempos.

Within Notes

I used to dream of loss like rhyme.  
Of what great notion we must define. 
Truth relies like rise demise and notions of enterprise. 
Then of shores as time erodes alike, and leaves no questions within insight.
So dust we are until we realize, our place in space much more concise. 
 So let my soul depart amongst the tide, and forget the time I let the hurt subside. 
Bleed within the heart that's mine, and let the tide reside intwine. 
Sleep forever in this great slumber, and know not what in time to wonder.

Soloist

Flying solo against the wind
a weary hurt that time cannot mend,
a nostalgic manifestation that hangs in the backdrop of
rebuilding a life once lost,
slowly it drifts into obscurity, 
what once was will never be again,
that’s the beauty and irony of living,
slowly I will find myself again but I will never be alive.

Lone Beats

Consumed by solitude,
deprived from modern configuration of man made science,
breathless treading through unknown fortitude.

Oh west wind! Embrace my will and shut my sight, 
distill me from this mechanical grievance.
Fly with me like the days of old, take me to the mistiest mountain top
whom is as lonesome as the beats in my heart.
Unveil before me the root of all existence then whisper it to the ever
present moon.

Scenic beauty devours my essence,
my heart gives way and I slip into eternal slumber.

In My Time of Dying

Palisades fall through the 
vastness of my vision. Unparallel equinox 
sooths the passing of my soul.
Blood races infinitely through my weakened body.
My thoughts begin to cloud. My heart beats are slow and heavy.
Emptiness before my eyes. 
An endless nightmare of unexpected calamity.
It ended suddenly and painfully.

Yet in my time, one thought remains 
heavy in my being
You. 
It is my last pain, my
last joy, my last hope.
My final breath is short but creates earthquakes 
in a land once loved.
I am not remembered.
