Gone with the wind

I  saw you walking by
or, is it my mind wondering by?
A glimpse of you in the window
The wind blew your hair
and caressed your skin
O! how I envy the wind
The moment I turned you were gone
I looked for you, but you have  vanished
mayhaps the wind took you in her arms
perhaps the wind knew how to stole you from my eyes
I should have not hesitated
But I was too captivated by you
And now I must suffer so
I look for you every way I go
I hunt you down
but you were long gone
I hope she knows how to love you
the right amount of kisses
the proper way to hold your hand
I ought not to imagine me and you
I should have done something
Anything...
But I...
I loved you when you weren't mine to love
For that, I have been punished
For that I have to wait
And wait I shall
I must... until your heart has been broken
and then you'll come my way
I will mend it
I will treasure it
It  shall not be broken once more
I will not let you out of my sight
Not once...
Not ever...
Never

Nevermore...

Obsession

Emotions are not easily expressed
And yet we are obsessive compulsive communicative beings
Anxious to tell the world the way we feel
Even if we cannot fully understand it ourselves
Exploding through the need to share
Not only the bright but the deeply dark as well
Dreaming about the one who will fully understand it
Hoping for the one who'll see what's palpable in both light and dark
Imagining perfection in our lives
Yet hiding ourselves in a dark corner
Overwhelmed by the idea of love
And sharing that idea with a perfect human being
Always dreaming about it
We find ourselves prisoners of the mind
Not reasoning, but thinking constantly about that idea
Exhaustingly trying to figure out how to bring it to live
Forgetting about everything else
But that thought remains
That endless utopian dream
Analyzing...
Dreaming...
Thinking...
Hoping...
Longing...
Losing ourselves in the dream
Slowly vanishing what we once were
So there is nothing left...

but the irremediable consumption of the soul

Mixed Water

I had been crying for so long now
and for some reason it had been raining everyday
It would seem that the sky was my only companion
Whenever I left the house my tears and the sky's became one
Sharing the same sorrow and pain
Salty and sweet, all at once
The earth was drowning
So I lift up my head and looked at the clouds
I run towards the sea and let myself fall
Ready to end it
I couldn't feel the embrace of salt water 
Instead I  was lift up by a cloud
It took my where I needed to go
Remind me of my long forgotten dreams
The sky didn't shed another tear that day
The green wasn't under water
and so it lay me on a bed of grass
Slowly
Gently
Painless
I closed my eyes at the cloud with a smile
and I knew I wouldn't cry for me tonight

and neither would the sky.

A Word, A Feeling, An Utopy...

O! Love 
What are you?
What have you become? 
What are you expected to be?


O! Love
Nothing more than a few phonemes combined
together they create a magnificent sound
a sound everybody wishes to hear 
a sound which leaves us all marvelled and blind


O! Love
Nothing more than one word
and yet, so much more, 
a feeling, O! yes
a feeling which entangles lives together
for an eternity yet to come


O! Love
People wait their entire lives for you
but, are you real?
perhaps you are mainly a product of our imagination
maybe you only exist in our minds 
in our perfect world where everything is possible
will we ever find you?


O! Love
An utopic thought 
waiting to be achieved
An emotion
waiting to be fulfilled


O! Love
Passionate and true, 
Impulsive and wild,
and yet heart-breaking and devastating...
but at the end
we all long for you to come
we all wait for that epic arrival
the one that will forever change the course of our lives.

I am the rain


I am the rain
I am the rain, I am as fragile as those water drops.
I am the rain, I easily fall and break apart
The sun comes out and dries me out  
Nothing remains, I am soon forgotten
I am the rain
I am the rain, everything is either dark or grey
I am the rain, I am cold and unexpected
I am the rain
Sometimes I washed away people hopes and dreams
Some people may like me but their lives are filled with melancholy and sadness whenever I’m around
I am the rain but I can turn into storm
