For Once Forever

For Once
        And again
               And again
                     And again
 
The stars waltz above
that bewitched kiss.
 
The kiss that creates spaces
in every corner of my mind.
 
A comfortable emptiness
 
Simple thought sway
In those hollows.
 
And project on my face
In that stupid smile.
 
In the hypnotized silence
I’m led to those
somewhere chances
That appear in those
Someday distances.
 
Then your gaze.
That look
That only you give.
 
No idea what I am thinking
But loving that stupid smile.
 
Your hand contracts around mine.
Hold me closer
Tighter.
 
Blink
Breath
And it’s all over.
 
Stay.
Stay and make this moment forever.
Watch the world rise with me
And smile back at the subtle laughter of that sunrise.
 
Then kiss me again
                        And again
                               And again

Painful Childhood

Where would we be without our painful childhood?

The conditioned existence
Of tracing tomorrow
As the story whispers today.

A small child shadows over your
Moments of must
With her rapturous gaze

You quench growing misery
To prevent your misfortune
Of her infancy penetrating
Your maturity.

In the end, her too young
Taught torment
Causes your reason to hesitate

Her splitting arrogance
Peals your nails
As your fingers age away.

Reasons

Hushed manipulation
Condensed lies
Unfounded evidence.

Always Watching
Through windows
I felt your suspicious pleasure

Though Doorways
I heard your thoughts ravish me

Then Touching

Your too familiar hands
Were titillated by my innocence

I could smell
The perspiration of your perversion.

The Reproductions.

I scream rape
No one listened.

Of Hate.

You said crazy
Everyone heard.

Of Loss.

But I am still here.
Of Strength.
