Blue

Blue is the sky.

Blue is the ocean.

Blue is my spirit,

my shadow,

my death,

and my rise.

Blue is everything.

Blue is opposite of black,

red, white, and yellow.

Blue is the light.

Blue is love.

Black

Black on my right foot

in my middle finger

that is what defines me, describes me,

takes me apart, makes me unique,

makes me who I am, gives me rhythm.

In the summer I show myself, I come

apart, I signify. I dance around, I make a style.

My pretty black, that is

what I am all about.

Thoughts

If you read my lips,

tell me what you hear.

If you had my sight,

tell me what you see.

If you had my mouth,

tell me what you’d speak.

If you just had a bit of me,

I would change your life for real.

No matter what you say.

It’ll always be you and me.

If you had my hands,

tell me what you would touch.

If you had my legs,

where would you go?

I would touch your heart,

so vivid and soft.

In the nights of mysteries

that we would search

a cruel touch of your hate

would wake me up.

If only you would let me

show you what I am,

maybe I could tell you

who I am.

If only you would give me

a little bit of you.

Maybe I could show you

the spell I’m on,

the spell your love sends me to.

And, only would I go to you,

because no one knows me like you do.

No one loves me how you do.

No one in this world would ever do.

Life Is Death

Life is something very special

because of life we’re here

and if life didn’t exist, nothing would

Life is the meaning of everything

And if life didn’t have a meaning

then what should?

Death is also special

because death makes us depressed

And death is the one that

makes even more become

Life is nothing without death

and death wouldn’t exist if

it wasn’t for life.

Life is Death.

Let’s Just Be Friends

Let’s just be friends.

I never want to hear those

4 words from you,

because I just don’t know

what I might do.

Let’s just be friends.

I don’t want to hear those 4 words

from you, ‘cause if you go

you just might take my soul with you.

Let’s just be friends

No, no, no —

you can’t say those words

to me ‘cause if you do

you are going to take my heart

from me too.

Say You Love Me

Say you love me.

Say that you will

always be true.

Say that you will always be there.

Tell me that you will never say,

“Let’s just be friends.”

But, tell me that you

will always love me.

Say that you will never

lie to me because

I just might die.

How Could I?

How could I fall in love

with someone like u?

So many girls that u can have,

how will you ever see that I’m alive?

I just want to tell u how I feel,

but just can’t find the words inside

to say I care.

And it’s even harder when I want

to say that I love you,

‘cause u might think it’s not true.

But, for real,

it’s very true and dear.

Haters

I hate the haters

because they always

got to be the ones

to say something.

They try to act like

they are real but

when it’s the time

to come and step

up in your face

they don’t got the balls

to say what they got to say.

Souls Die Without the Feeling of Nature

For many years I wandered

lonely as a cloud.

I saw as a corpse in the ground

yet I felt the wind whispering

in my deaf left ear.

Trees called, “It’s time!”

The jungle opened as wide as

a shark eating its prey.

Many lost souls went at the

whisper of the wind.

Yet, that one corpse stayed.

Why? The waves beside them

danced as broken records.

“Rainbow,” they called, “Rainbow.”

But that one corpse found

the meaning of nature.

Yet the others didn’t.

Nature was a target

but wanted, needed and even

envied by so many lost souls.

But the one soul seemed to

stay the same level of nature.

A poem describes how I think I am. It explains a part of me. Demonstrates who I see in me. Nature is incredible and I really enjoy viewing and studying how it can destroy yet maintain so stunningly. Nature is unique in many ways

What If I Could Be?

I would be air —

never be conquered or eliminated.

I would be a disease within every human being —

bring them chaos and pain,

make a person wish

he/she was never born.

Who am I?

The air and I blow you away.

Why?

I feel like it.

Try to destroy me and die.

Love me and live.

Conquer me!

Don’t worship me!

But respect who I am.

“Hello to all,” and to all, “a good night.”

No! No! No!

And you thought it was over blood.

Blood I would spill.

Pain, you would endure.

So respect who I am.

Don’t love me,

yet know that I shall last

for an eternity.

Pablo Polanco

My Girl

I love you.

I miss you.

I want to kiss you.

I know you love me,

but I’m shy and that’s

how you know me.

I was so stupid,

because you loved me

and I lost you.

I’m sorry for what happened,

but it’s my life

and now I feel lonely.
