Paul Garcia Poem
She loved me before she even knew me,
She gave me her heart!
She told me she loved me,
Via a text message after only a few days.
Yes, that first kiss was a kiss,
She literally sucked my tongue from my face.
She was giving me a message.
We talked for more weeks,
I was in the south of Portugal,
She was up north.
She wanted me to visit the north for the holidays but I had no money.
But we still talked.
We had plans to meet the first time
but the ex husband made a complication.
No harm.
When we finally met,
We met.
We made love for the first time and it was magical.
We went to a local bar and a woman friend saw and greeted me,
And my woman grabbed and pinched my fingers.
so hard and subconsciously said,
"You are MINE".
I said, “Okay”.
We made love a second time
outside at the fisherman's rest looking at the moon.
At least I was,
She was crying,
What...???
We went home for the night
and in the morning I went outside for space.
I sat on a hilltop and drank two bottles of beer
and asked my God what direction in life I should walk.
One week later I was on a train going north,
Two years later we are married and very much in Love!

Paul Garcia Poem
I've always yearned to be free,
Free in my mind,
Free in my soul,
Free in my heart,
Just free.
I remember a moment in Venice,
Strolling along,
Sun setting,
In the distance, people dancing,
Music playing,
Those people were free.
I found myself drifting away,
Towards the crowd,
And I joined,
Arms open, dancing,
Just dancing,
Eyes closed,
Moving my body in pure freedom.
I was free,
Soaring higher into the sky,
With the birds,
Lost within myself,
Carefree,
Just free.
I want to be free,
I want my mind to explore the unknown,
I don't want to sink into a comatose state,
But that's what they expect,
Quiet,
Calm,
Afraid of my thoughts,
Afraid of my freedom,
What are they afraid of?
The fear of being free,
I'm trapped.
I find myself craving solitude,
My words don't connect,
I'm confused,
My dreams are vivid,
They wake me at night, and I fear sleep,
My dreams trouble me,
What's their purpose?
Who am I?
I'm asking myself that question again,
Who am I?
I am Paul,
Or at least, a different version of myself,
I hover somewhere, searching for myself,
Striving to be the free, peaceful person I once was,
My thoughts are draining me,
I want to soar again.
It's been nearly six years,
I went from riches to rags,
I had everything I ever wanted,
Now, I want something else,
But what is it?
How do I find it?
By returning to the world of men?
I don't want that,
I need to get lost once more,
I want to find myself,
But I'm married,
And I have responsibilities to others,
But what about my responsibility to me?
I come first,
But if I put myself first, others are upset,
I have to please everyone,
I have to wear a smile when I'm sad,
I have to be happy when I'm not,
I have to shower when I want to retreat within myself,
I need to be free,
Something to free my mind.
But now I have to work,
More responsibilities I don't desire,
I want to take care of only myself,
Am I selfish?
Sometimes I am, and I believe it's okay,
Why wouldn't it be?
The essence of life is freedom,
Freedom from the trappings of mankind,
Freedom from people,
I want to be alone,
Without the drugs that ensnare me

Paul Garcia Poem
MY DEAREST STAR
You are the brightest one,
I lay in awe looking at you every night,
You make my spirit feel at ease.
You take care of me through the good,
And of course, during my down times,
You are my Star,
You are my Angel.
I am grateful every day for your Love,
Even if I do not act right.
Sometimes it’s the romantic in me,
Other times it’s me just being crazy,
But by some magic from the heavens above,
We were brought together in Love.
I was living like a vagabond,
Wondering through life with no cares in the world,
Then I met you.
We danced and shared just one kiss,
You told me with your touch that I was yours.
Shortly after we started our Life together,
And you taught me to care again.
You are my best friend,
You are my confidant,
You are my lover,
You are my caretaker,
I owe my life to you for saving me.
We have been together for four years,
Married now for three.
I promised to Love and care for you until death does us part,
However, I know we will be together eternally.
Now, I have a question for you …
Will you marry me again?
I Love You!
Happy Anniversary (2023).
May our Love continue to grow stronger.
