she listens as the words keep flowing
as if I were some poetic fool
offering her everything
but those dreams
she thought were hers alone
and a tear falls...

they were all
just patches
written
to disguise
the bruises
in his heart
songs to hide away
not just his yesterdays
or his tears
but everytime
he thought forever
was calling his name
only to wake up
in the shadow
of his past

some think
we reign supreme
over time
& fate
unaware
that sometimes
we are just pieces
in a greater scheme
shaped by fathers
lovers
& forgotten friends
nothing more
than fading echoes
of lifetimes past
& dreams awaiting
the dawn

in the stars
we are written
not as legends or myths
seeking
to be remembered
but as 2 lovers
braving the gods
to find
our own way
even as the stars
welcomed us
home

the spell
had filled the air
with all the colours
of man
representing
not only all he was
all he could be
but those dreams
long hidden
by the fools
of modern society

she would nuture him
after the war
watching over him
until the scars
started to fade
protect him
not just from his shame
& regrets
but from the doubts
that had threaten
his soul
until he was strong enough
to hold her
on his own

I had discovered
the truth
through the prism
of humanity
for every colour
within the soul
a shadow
danced
until our essence became
a delicate balance
tilted
by either the lies
or the truths
we decide
to follow

my mind would dance
between excitement
& fascination
as I walked through
La Plaza
listening to the music
full of the island's history
while seeing the children
learn to chase
after their dreams

dawn breaks
a cascade of life emerges
from the horizon
rebirth
in just a matter
of minutes
if only the heart
dares to let
of all our tears
born of yesterday

I hold her
in my arms
catching her breathe
with my own
feeling the warmth
of her
wash over me
& I smile
for this has
always been
the birth
of our passion
our own song
of desire
witnessed
only by the moon
& 1001 stars

in truth each poem is but
a Shakespearean ballet
searching for a place
in our souls
while whispering
of all the dreams
waiting
to be called home

it was never my place
even when it was ours
never a reflection
of my dreams
my hopes
just a gilded cage
made pretty
by your presence
but then
even the shadows
thought to leave me
alone

racing against deadlines
rushing to finish
scattered thoughts
& half truths
tell the story
I need to tell
& not the lies that
seeks to burden us
with the same
shame & guilt
that made martyrs
of our fathers
& saints
of so many sinners

funny
how sonorous
his shadow has become
now that he has learned
that he wasn't a fool
to believe in her
or how much more
she had always believed
in him

it was thrist
that had doomed
the expedition
landing
on the far side
of a earth class planet
far from the oceans
rivers
& streams
but close enough to hell
to understand
what it is
to lose a dream
