STORIES TO KEEP YOU AWAKE

Sometimes I think, study, reflect, meditate, ponder,

and speculate on future situations.

But the fish ends up biting its tail. 

Life is a spiral, without beginning

or end, there is an entrance, but no exit. 

I am trapped in the ”Never-Neverland”,

where beautiful dreams turn into nightmares.

It feels strange to appreciate your presence again,

it keeps me awake at night and makes me write you

the most beautiful lines that my heart can spit out. 

It is worth it to discover beautifully

the bitterness of an unrequited love. 

In the distance of our

wandering souls that travel aimlessly

I denote a change on your part.

As the underwater currents penetrate through

scents and romantic verses in your being,

my libidinal state is diluted in a strange harmony of

impetuous feelings.

Contaminate me with your heavy breathing as I

watch the sunrise.
