Manifest Untitled
I've known you for lifetimes.
We were Pharaohs and Kings
Servants and Slaves,
You've kissed my dirty forehead
With sun-stained lips
Exclaiming, Tecum vivere amem, tecum obeam libens
We were Inventors,
Hungry and feverish.
We helped to create this
And we will surely watch it change
Colors like quiet laughing.
"We were Artists," you say,
"And Actors," I say.
And you smile like the movies,
But not like the movies
At all.
We have gone out kicking and screaming,
Stoic and silent.
We have lain in ashes
Inhaling each other and
Sending wishes to the wind:
I hope she reveals herself to me.
I hope we recognize our love.
I hope I find him.
But my heart is a boomerang,
It always comes back to you.
Manifestation.
she was like a crumbled piece of paper,
thrown into the realm of darkness
with no hopes of living and no desire of existing
until one day, she learned the manifestation miracles.
the stars and the constellations were with her this time,
for when her soul was on fire everything was forbid
forbid from going the wrong side
and just like that she waited for the magic to happen.
day and night, oh yeah
day and night she strived hard and harder
coz someone wise has said,
'he who strives, conquers the universe'
this time it wasn't just the universe,
it was the universes and their masters
for she was nothing but a plain brush
that couldn't survive without the canvas.
thus with her beloved universe she set
set ready to manifest,
manifest a whole lot of miracles
for turning dreams into reality was her enigma, an enigma so rare.
I saw the words unsaid
I saw the words unsaid, I knew
You truly meant them,
Too.
I saw the silence absorbed by
The golden embrace:
You.
I saw your suitcases, the two
Already packed, all
Full.
I saw you packed teardrops as well,
Some were mine, some were
Yours.
And I made no effort, nothing
To hold, hold onto
You.
WE
My body aching
Self inflicted madness
Laying in wait
Watching for my prey
Innocently bewildering
Unknowingly calling me to you
Your muffled screams
A high for me
Your panic state
A rush of adrenaline
A fix shooting through my veins
Like pieces of a puzzle
Falling into place
Suffering in silence
While you silently suffer
Curing my disease
Relieving the pain
Your features etched in my head
A lifetime of yearning
Can't you see
"We were destined to meet."
