Despedida

Perfect beginning
I'll see you when I get back
When we'll know for sure

The beginning of the end

You know I've tried to avoid it
But I just fall too fast
It's slowly creeping in
And I'm falling

I can't get you off my mind
Your voice plays on in my head
With no apparent reason
Without planning
Against my will
I break, I fall, I falter

Over and over again
Those tiny steps
Those crazy little faces
The endless stories on the workings of your world
The pulling and the punching
The nagging and the whining
Your graceful assets
And your oh so many faults, weaknesses, and insecurities

Show me all of your undesirables
Push my buttons
Pounce on my weaknesses
Spit on my pride
Let me despise you
Let me loathe you
Let me leave you behind

The first throngs of jealousy
After weeks of indifference
The comfort in your return
The beginning of the end
This whimsical wonder
With no happily ever afters
That slowly drug my soul

I'm losing myself
I lose myself in you

Transient

Caught in those dark eyes
Invisible space between
Head on my shoulder

You're a rolling stone
I'm as steady as the sea
Our paths intersect

Two contrasting worlds
In different directions
Till we meet again

Reprieve

A far away look
Lovely as you've ever been
You smile and I sigh

Swinging door

I rush through
Breaking the surface
A crash
Descending
Abandoned
Surrounded
I open my eyes
A sea of blue
With darkness below
And the surface fading

Panic strikes
Limbs flailing
Choking
A faint whisper:
Breathe
I gasp for air
Hysterical
Dying
Losing grip
Whispers
I pant
I gulp
I suffocate

Exhausted
I give up
Give in
I sink
Stiff and cold
I think, wonder, and behold
I watch the descent

Reaching the end
With nowhere else to go
I step through

Once on a cold night

It was the middle of the night when she came. She leaned forward and gave me a kiss. I opened my eyes and I saw her standing there. I reached out and drew her towards me. She snuck in and we shared the cold. I put my arms around her and closed my eyes. It was a dream. I had her beside me, under the sheets. I felt her face on mine. I could tell how sweet she tasted just by the scent of her. I moved my head around, nudging her face till our lips met. I wet my lips.

We opened doors that were supposed to remain shut. We let go, gave in, and didn't hold back. We were lost in rhythm, in passion, in fate. She tasted so good and felt so right.

It was the beginning and the prelude to the end. Should we keep or should we forget the memory of the first night of the life we never had?

Crossing

Nowhere we know
Somewhere in between
Sitting around
With empty seats
And vacant aisles
Shadows lay perfectly
As she radiates

Disarmed by a smile
By a gaze
A brush of skin

Heightened senses
Cymbals crash
Base drums boom
Fireworks rush and tumble

Surrounded by strangers
Curious and uncertain
As the never ending trip rolls on

Second thoughts
Fate conspires

Lead feet dragged
By a clumsy fool
Impossibly nonchalant
Half a smirk
Half afraid
Loud numbing beats
One deep breath
A smile

And life takes a turn
Takes a chance
In my direction
