Little Things

It's the little things
Like when you smile when you look at me
Or when you hold my hand tight
To let me know you won't let go
When you show up by surprise
Or when you fill up my gas tank
It's the little things
Like how beautiful your eyes are
And how you always smell great
Or when you dress up pretty to just see me
It's the little things
That make you perfect
The little things
That mean the universe to me
The little things
That make you my everything
And how everything you do
Gives life to me.

Anything

If I had to run a million miles
Just to see your smile again
I would
If there were to be an ocean
In between us
I would build a boat
Just to sail to you
I would
All I want in this life is
To lay my head and look up
At the stars in your eyes
That always shine brighter than the sun
I'd do anything for that
I would.

Finders keepers

It's you!
I found you
You're the one I looking for
I know you are because
You leave me breathless 
Speechless and in awe
I know you are because
Whenever I'm with you
I feel at home
I feel at peace
I know it's you because
You give me goosebumps
And butterflies
I can't stop thinking of you
I'll never do.

Spellbound

I start missing you
The moment my skin stops touching yours
As soon as I can't hear your voice
Smell your sweet perfume
Or taste your effervescence
My mind goes crazy
Thinking about you
And how, and why
You make me feel like
A million birds take flight
Inside my gut
And how I can say I love you
Every second of every day
For the rest of my days and yours
Without getting tired or going mute
For you, my dear, are my fire
The spark of life that I was missing
Because there is nothing else
Just you

Cast Away

Can't wait to get lost in that sea again
In the deepest of waters, I remain
Staring at the sun, moon and stars
As I get lost in that sea again

If I drown, I drown knowing
I died the most beautiful death
Staring at the sun, moon and stars
As I get lost in that sea again.

Odds against me, I float on
Letting the universe decide my fate
As I stare at your sun, moon and stars
As I get lost in your eyes again.

You, dear.

Your eyes, dear.
I get lost in them
Without wanting to know
My way back home.

Your lips, dear
Are the ones that will
Keep me sane
In my insanity

Your voice, dear
Will be the one
That keeps me dreaming
Even when awake

Your love, my dear
Will keep me going
Strong and steady
Even after death

Catharsis

Oh my heart
It skips a beat or two
When she smiles
And when she looks at me
With those light brown eyes
That make me weak at the knees
Oh her lips
Her glorious lips
Perfect
Soft
Lips
That caressed mine for a second or two
Enough to dream of them for a lifetime
And her soul
Oh her soul
Left me wanting for more

Trascendence

The way your skin
Goosebumps
To the touch of my fingers
Is what heaven must feel like
How your eyes roll back
When you take a deep breath
And let loose
Accepting your fate
And my body
With yours
Trembling
Twisting
Turning
Shivering, Letting go
Flowing
Like river water
Both of us—
The divine comedy of our life
Our magnum opus
Our pièce de résistance
And a coup d'état
Against taboos
And inhibitions

Heavy sleep

This bed feels empty
When you're not in it
As does this body
Because without you it's just
A hollow shell
A cocoon
Waiting for the catalyst of 
My metamorphosis—
The touch of your skin
And the scent of your soul
Give life to my otherwise
Seemingly lifeless shell...
My bed feels like a void in outer space
A black hole
Sucking the light out of
Every
Little
Living thing 
When it's without you
When it misses you
My bed.
This bed. 
Feels dead without you.

Heavy hearts

When I miss you
My body gains a thousand pounds
Gravity multiplies by ten
And I couldn't move a limb if my life depended on it

Everything slows down
My chest feels heavy
My sight goes to the ground
And my heart stops beating steady

I could be with you every second
Of every minute
Of every hour
Of every day, and never get tired.

How could I?
With that smile that outshines the sun
And a voice that soothes lost souls
I found myself in you

You stitched me back together
Piece by piece
Little by little
Word by word

And even when I miss you
And my body feels like a thousand pounds
I can still listen to the sounds of your voice
Soothing me once again

Staircase

I can't wait for our lips
To meet like they just did
With explosiveness and desire
And I can't wait for my hands
To meet your body like they just did
Counting every pore
Mountain
Valley
Cave.
I can't wait for you to do the same
Touch me, and squeeze me
And grab me, and...
Just wait for me in the staircase,
I'm on my way.

Tinta china

Te doy mi corazón
Así, envuelto en papel de regalo
Todo tuyo
Sin preocupaciones.
Es tuyo para que lo cuides
O lo destruyas,
De igual manera te quiero
De igual manera te querré.
Te lo doy sin inhibición
Sin tapujos ni secretos
A ciegas...
Pero siempre te miro
Y siempre te escucho
Y te siento
Te sueño
Y me entrego
En cuerpo y alma
En acciones y en palabras
Me entrego y derramo el amor
Como tinta en papel.

Pillow case

I fall asleep
Hugging the pillows
That smell of you
After you were here

I hope your scent
Never leaves
Like I hope
You won't either.

You took them

You took my thoughts
And made them your home
Made them yours
Like birds their nests

You took them hostage
Made them witness your crime
Made them a part of it
History.

You took them
And you own them
Like a shepherd 
Owns his sheep

And you took them
And you tamed them
Like a circus performer
Does to the lion.

You took them
And you revolted them
A coup-d'état
A civil war

And you make them scream
And whisper
And love
And whimper

But most importantly
You took them.
Not anyone...
You.

Sleeping pills

I sleep better
When your heartbeat is
The soft, gentle lullaby
That makes me dream

When there's none
Cold sweats and night terrors
Waking up every hour on the hour
To your

Let me in.

I miss you
Like the devil would miss
The warm embrace 
Of hell's fires

Don't close yourself
Let me reach inside you 
And teach your heart
The things I'd do for you

If I had to go sleepless
Restless, helpless
For a year just to show you
How much I care, I would

If you're closing yourself up
In an oyster, let me be the pearl
Let me be the hope
That one day it'll open again

Us, we're just passengers of life
We just tell the driver where to take us
Let's make the most of our love
And let it lead the way

The devil will envy our fire
The heavens, our souls
For it will burn hotter
Than hell's own

You, the one I miss.

I've been missing you
Since the very first moment
My skin left yours
                           Untouched

I've been missing you
Like a drunkard misses his whiskey
Like a musician misses his key
Like a lover misses what he holds dear

I miss the things that make you, you
The scent of your skin
The universe of your eyes
The tattoos and all the scars

When I'm with you, nothing hurts
When I'm not, everything does
So take it all away
Please... Take 
                     It
                       All
                          Away
