Midnight thoughts

The broken hopes

When I was a boy
I had dreams of greatness
It was as tall as the mountains
and its limits were as far as the sky
I had a need to fly.
I knew I could because I believed that time had no meaning 
and that I was stronger than what adults talked about
when I was young I fell down a cliff
My lips closed down
and my heart learned to fear the hidden palpitations
the dreams were laughter with echoes that hurt
When I reached the age where I die
I thought about every flaw in my plans
and my hands bleed with old wounds
the mountains collapsed
and every battle was a lost war cry
When I had opportunities I forgot them,
burned them,
and escaped them
because I understood that from my failure my pains were born
and from my pains I was born
surrender was the exit and the most effective poison

Ghosts

It's a snap
one second
where you fall at the bottom of the bottle
and you do not know where you are
you have tears behind your eyelids
needles in the chest
and fears in the mind,
we do not know how we got there
how we got so lost
and how not to get out of there,
we really do not know anything
so stop asking.
But,
if there is something that we do know,
it's empty eyes
the parched lips
and the hidden arms.
We see us at street crossings
and oceans of worlds
we see us and
for some reason
incomprehensible and inexplicable
we smile,
we approach
we hold on
and we do not let go
because if you drown
I will try to be your float
because if there is a pain that I understand
It's yours and you mine
since if there is a last effort to give
when breathing hurts
and the heart hits the ribs

is to try to save another lost ghost.

Never forget you

I will write your poems in tragedies
and I'll talk about your eyes in oceans
I will never let anyone forget
of your lips on my skin
and your name in my confessed sins
I will repeat our condemned love
to the four winds that bind this world of sorrows
So I can live with you even in your absence.

Happiness measure

She is happy
with entwined hands
and kisses on the cheek,
promises in the stars
she has the wishes of dreams
and the hugs of the need
it is in clouds that she walks
and in sweetness, she speaks
She is beautiful, cheerful and attractive
and on rainy afternoons
There is a question on the lips of the unhappy

"Is she happy?"

Lost


When did you get lost on the road?
It would have been when you fell for the first time
or in the first disappointment.
In a moment you were a new hope in a twisted world
and in another, we lost you in a sea of shadows
your steps were shortened
and your words were frightened,
in an instant when we blinked you escaped us
and we do not understand where we lost you
what time do we let you get lost
and shrink
I stay awake at night, with my hand in my heart
with doubts on the lips
and the echoes of your footsteps in the wounds of my soul
and even, in years away and oceans of torment, I wonder

At what moment did we miss you?

The fear

The love that I had
it burnt me and forgot about me
the love I desired
It destroys me and abandoned me
and it was not my greatest love
nor was the eternal and unforgettable
However, how not to fear the follower
that will be the fires of hell
and the lips of the angels
how not to fear for the one who'll kill me
Fast and effective.

Mortal sins

It's his lips in a stranger,
fingers entwined in a ghost
and words in shouts of bridges,
with an empty bottle of the wrong liquid
and without a voice,
It is with dry tears
that I realise that, that was love
and I lost it in the fear of the sinner.

Inexplicable

Respiration contained
edge in my fingers
a fire of shadows in my eyes
and I can not explain what it is like to be me
At 12 pm
with blood in the arms
and peace in the mind.

The age

I have the age of young nights
and of rushed kisses
in my veins are the desires of the past
and in my bones the jealousy of my predecessors
it's a complication and a pain
when you have promises to fulfil and places to be
and time escapes with every breath,
and it is too fast and slow.
A life to burn in an exhale of smoke,
There are expectations on my Friday nights,
there is poetry in the words that I hide,
There is imagination surrounding my life.
But,
everything is simpler than that.
Since I'm on a balcony two floors very low,
with a bottle without alcohol and a cat that does not sleep but dreams
And maybe they're in a hurry that I to run with cars
and hurt others without worry.
Nevertheless,
I have the comfort of a life that completes me in solitude
and company sought.
With cats as companions in my youth and books burned in words.
I will be as old as you want,

but not the dreams that you seek.

Whom I love


There are times that they ask me
Why him?
And yes, he is not conventionally attractive
and he has the character of a storm
and he's complicated with invisible wounds
but
He keeps me awake when I'm tired
and my tongue always has words with him.
It's not what you're looking for
but it's what my life needs
the way he moves when he talks about what he loves
and the smile when he sees me
and I have no doubt that if everything were lost tomorrow and only him would only exist
I could survive with his mind and soul

I would be complete incomplete.

The doubt of them

Once you get over someone
That you get tired and you get up from the lake of your tears and decide to live again.
You face the worst challenge of your life,
that your friends and families manage to overcome your weakness for him.
Because you surpass it in months and years
And you break to be able to come back
However
Your people will doubt and ask about your actions close to him
Because they fear that you are in a deception and a word from him could bring you to your knees
Nevertheless
They should know that where you walk the tracks are left and your words are reincarnated prophecies.
And they should not doubt your courage to know that you deserve better and only you are the best.
And he is just a simple excuse of a life that does not deserve your words.

They should know that you know how to love when they doubt you.
