ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
I'll put my love to where you lay your eyes
when first they open to the morning skies,
out through the window, look and see,
the light of dawn brings love from me
that's how I'd have you greeted at sunrise.
I'll spread all of my love with morning dew
in hopes you take it where you're going to;
out through the window, look and see,
the morning dew is love from me
and loves the flowers like I'm loving you.
And then I'll put my love to your sunset
so ev'ry evening you will not forget;
out through the window, look and see,
the evening light brings love from me
as surely as it did the day we met.
At night I'll put my love into a star
so you will see my love though I am far
out through the window, look and see,
the star it shines with love from me
until the night I'll be there where you are.
for Nanay who left for celestial embrace
Hello, you. I’m speaking to you, in heavy
breathing, because last night it rained
while I was asleep and dreaming
your lips: the thirst-worn cracks
of red, the silence they heaved.
Some truths, of mostly naked.
Like your tale of fairies flying,
finding their way home into trunks
of trees. Like your kiss in dreams
of that which bridges you to me.
Have you kissed me, stolen
like your promise I once believed
before you turned your back and left
and kept those lips, in sleep?
Hello, you. I cannot figure. Only that
it has been a struggle to breathe,
and sleep and dream deep
now and each night rain begins.
I have tried to rest easy for hours.
Heavy eyes can't find sleep without you.
I toss endless in sheets that once wrapped us
and my wish for you near, won't come true.
You're too far, to wrap arms tight around me
and my dreams wait impatient inside.
This long night seems much darker without you
and my need for your touch won't subside.
I lie wrestless as morning approches,
hoping night will slip quickly away.
Pray for sleep as the quiet surrounds me,
clutching pillows where you do not lay.
I lay longing to hear your soft breathing,
as you did when you slept in my bed.
The night cruel and unkind,
search for you, just to find,
that I'm still lying lonely instead.
Nights needing to be perfect
Imaging a future for… unseen
Yet… perfection is unseen future to hack
Can I tell what is my night for a dream?
Every possible scenario crosses my thought
Detailed to an extreme for a poet’s night
A possible future impossible to be bought
And how many times did my moments died?
A self thought lesser otherwise
Becomes a someone without its moments
Moments believing for a need to lie
Unfortunately… even lies need its reasons
Without this, I make with that
That to believe a little lie I told myself to be
Anew became moments to have had
And from that lie, is truth I began to see
Nights becoming to be perfect
Standing upon a once future… seen
My unseen future I have perfectly hacked
Yet… I know not what my night for a dream?
I can make you smile with just a wink...
I can make you giggle and your cheeks
turn pink...
We can finish our sentences without a word
being missed...
You can read my mind and know when I just
need to be kissed...
I can cover your shoulders when the night is cool...
Or pull you close during the night if your dreams are cruel...
Simply put, we are one in the same at the end of the day....
We have a glowing light all around our heart that will never stray...
