An Undiscovered Poet

Sated

The sky is in twilight and the trees are bare.

 It’s just me, the fading sky turning into pitch darkness, and empty fields.

 The night welcomes me as an old friend and the day parts completely until tomorrow.

How I love seeing the trees naked, their skeletons laid out for all to see during the winter months. 

The falling leaves dance on the streets around me and the grass is no longer green. 

Fallen immature trees on the grounds stretching towards me as if lending me its fallen hand; what a sight.

As I look on into the darkened night I seek beauty wherever my eyes could see.

 The rain falls and gives nourishment to the wildlife around me and also baths me; It falls in the cracks and crevices of my skin and drenches my very soul.

 On the outside I’m a mess but in the inside I’m finally sated and rejuvenated.

For him

A smile, a single smile that could kill and a look that could melt. If only you’d see me, the me that shakes and quakes with very the possibility of you. 

To this day I still smile; a big goofy grin is always present and I’m reminded of you, of the first time I saw you.

You’re kind and gentle when you please in the presence of others but I know better. 

The hushed, quickened breaths we breath in your car and fevered kisses always lingering in my memory to this very day.

I disappoint myself thinking in we could be something for we’re just too different. 

Our timing never right and it will never be, but I can still dream.

 Dream of that kind smile and tan skin.

 I still think of you for it hasn’t been too long since we parted.

Abuelo

Abuelo, I still hear your voice lingering my mind at my time of need. 

Time, is something I’ll never have again with you. It’s something that is always wasted but should be cherished.

Air, something I lacked that day for it felt as if I was underwater and I couldn’t take in any oxygen.

 Love, is something that is never lost between us. 

Memories, are something that we may never had or have enough of but you never cared for I was loved and cared for regardless in your eyes.

 Pain, something you’ve felt without the love of your life.

October, the month we both despised, your true loves final breath played on your heart ; leaving you wanting.

Peace, something you and abuela have and something I’m striving to.

Untitled

Oh twilight my favorite time of the day; how I long to paint it’s beauty. 

The fading orange and blue meeting once more sadly only to part until day. 

The sky dimming and coloring my night eyes once again.

The trees wave as I drive past them, bidding me a goodnight until I seek them the next day. 

The sun kisses the horizon and stars start blooming in the sky filling, my dark orbs with beauty at every passing moment.

As I drive all I can see is hazes of blues and greens with a splash of glorious orange. 

The sky gets dimmer but I cherish what I see at a quarter till 7. 

Headlights will soon fill the spot the fading horizon held but I always look up to see your brilliance once more.

Tainted

Plagued by a million thoughts, of the past, of the present, of a love I never really loved.

 I don’t think I’m capable of it- love that is.

 I enjoy the thought of crushing people’s feelings and sometimes feel bad after but never during.

I cared for said past love; but I think I just wanted someone by my side. 

I can’t remember true love, so I often seek else where. In others. 

I cried for something I lost. Of years beside him; I  was fond of him and yet I hurt him. In the end; we hurt ourselves.

We were stuck with expectations that were never going to be met.

 I played you, you played me. It was a constant battle between me, my mind and you. 

At first I didn’t want to hurt you and always tried to find an out until I did. Now it’s gone. We’re done at last. 

I feel as if I can breathe again but reality sets in and I’ll always be your girl and taken by you. In the eyes of others you’ve stained me and now I’m tainted. 

I feel this way. For we should never have been.
