The Lovers’ Game

~ garciaaxel dot-org ~ Leave a comment

Tell me how much you love me
How I’m the love of your life
That the mention of my name makes you quiver in places sacred
Sing to me that God created you for me
Whisper in my ears that you have always been mine
That the things you do you’ve only done with me
Make me feel special
You know … Lie to me
Tell me you can’t breathe without me
Or that you don’t want to live without me
And when I bump into you years later and you’re still breathing I’ll understand it was just, you know… Words people say to each other…
Such is the game of love
You taught me well

Transitions

~ garciaaxel dot-org ~ Leave a comment

There is a certain joy in my sadness
Like vapor needs the death of water
Or when the moon rises with the fall of the sun
I bathe in the transitions that mark our seconds together
Like the breaking of the Earth to birth a new tree
Or when that gray area rears its’ ugly head to decree
It’s neither you nor me
I dance spiritually
In its’ Limbo
Evading talk of where our united souls can or can not go
We embrace this tug of war
This opposite action and reaction
This yes or no
This Carajo y Coño!
This right here is how I need you
Through the up and down
Sitting back in awe of what we found.
