Sunday

I want to wake up with sex
Then eggs

Then back to sleep
and white sheets

And let the sun wake us up
Writhe in pleasure as we decide

What to do with the day ahead
Because we'd both rather stay in bed

And spend all our time together
Letting our bodies be tethered

The only music your sighs and gasps
As I find the best ways to make you laugh

But there's so much to do
You know it too

There's so little time
So we go outside

We walk
And talk

Travel to unknown locations
Experience new sensations

For we want to grow and learn
As we let this fire burn

And get all of our task lists done
Because we never found someone

With this eagerness to live
With so much love to give

Never wanting the day to end
Never needing to pretend

Never wanting to leave your side.
Never having to say goodbye.

crying

Tears fall accidentally
I'm so sorry. You weren't supposed to see that.
I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable with my pain.
Please forgive me.
I know my crying is not an appropriate reaction to this conversation.
Let's reschedule this for some other time
when I've learned to keep my feelings under control.
Let me shamefully walk away
as I fail to understand
why did I apologise for bothering you
if I was the one in pain?

The crash

I could see the crash
before I had the keys in the ignition.
The road ahead was wondrous,
but we were destined for oblivion.

Maybe this is what we needed
a sudden ending,
a shakespearian finale
a poetic finish.

An epic collapse 
to shatter the world we built,
leaving footprints in the mud
and verses in the wind.

unconventional

I do not want a wedding day
or to feel that life slips away.
We do not need to write our vows
or make a knot to tie our lives.
I do not want to fulfill prophecies
and make all these empty promises.
I do not want the house, the kids, the dog
or to browse the ikea catalogue,
I want to surround myself with friends,
stories that start but don't end,
people who let me be free
and who bring out the best in me.
Remove the need to plan ahead
and focus on me, and you, in bed.
Fighting what was imposed,
opening all the doors that were closed.

I wouldn't want you to regret
not saying what you wish you'd said,
and keep wishing that I'd change
hoping for the end of this phase,
trying to hold on a bit longer,
hoping that love will make us stronger.
I just want you to be free
and that you choose to stay next to me.

shiny

When you woke up this morning
and sleepily picked out your clothes,
did you chose to wear that red sweater
so that I would notice you more?


I guess you can't see 
that your eyes would stand out
even if you wore the dullest grey
hiding amongst the largest crowd?

Muse

I struggle to make sense of things
since my mind discovered your lips,
and your intrepid fingertips.

I write in verses what I feel
watching my pens run out of ink
letting my heart slowly sink.

It's hard to find the perfect tune
to express how much I need you,
how lucky I was to meet you.

Whenever you can't sleep at night
I want you to re-read these lines
and travel back to better times.

When I think of the years ahead
I wonder what other words we'll share
written in letters filled with care.

Tears and sex

from my eyes
to your bare chest
teardrops play a rhythm
the saddest song ever heard
a slow melody
as heartache and pleasure fuse.
our bodies, intertwined,
tasting salt in fluid
wet eyes
drenched bodies
melt together
flowing
and I cry
as I near climax
drowning into culmination.

Sense tu

com vols que em pugui imaginar 
un llit sense el teu cos
una casa sense la teva olor
una vida sense tu.

Pero cada mati m'esforço
a intentar sortir del llit 
on hi ha el teu cos.

I cada tarda desitjo
marxar de casa
per sentir olors noves.

I cada nit intento oblidar
tot el que deixaré de fer
compartint la vida amb tu.

Before I go

Here's some things I'd like to share
Just to make sure you're aware
So bear with me, I'll do my best
Let me get this off my chest.

I won't be around anymore
Nothing will be as before
I will soon leave your side,
but hey, it was a nice ride.

I will not leave you tonight
until I know you'll be alright
so promise that you'll take care
that you'll be happy anywhere.

Promise me that you'll be free
and do your best to forget me,
that looking back won't cause you pain,
that you'll learn to love again.

Don't let your smile fade away
even when running through the rain
escaping from your monsters
pushing through your pain.

When your fear screams louder than your hope
Don't let it control your future
Look outside for something you love
Look inside for something to nurture.

Friend

I just needed a friend
Just someone to talk to
Something to feel again
Just a rope to hold on to.

I just needed a kind of friend
that would make me fall in love
someone who could understand
everything I ever dreamed of.

I would persuade my friend
only for twenty four hours
just to prove it to them 
how our strengths would tower.

I wanted the kind of friend
you write love poems to
when part of it's just pretend
but then it starts to feel true.

I needed you as a friend
when I was the most alone
when everything was a dead end
you held me in the winter cold.
