escombros de mi corazon

angels by traumzauberbaum

Tu luz me alumbra


I’m reminded of

A smiling child in the morning sun

Timeless Neverending New 

Unaware that the dark takes breath 

Cynical eyes ache in the glare of souls reborn 

Dancing to the endless tune of their hearts melody

Dancing to the tune of their heart’s rhythm

We move keeping time

Who are you?



A sip of coffee, a candle’s light

Lingering in moments

Numb to pain

Common sense sits in another realm 

Chilled furnaces blaze in the face of a dawning moon 

Assault me with your eyes

Paralyze me with your words

I dont want to survive this fight

(No one survives)



This (skin) no longer contains me 

Languid glances dizzying senses

These empty streets can’t contain us

These hollow sounds don’t vibrate within us

Hot to the sight

Loud to the touch

Shivering Incindiary Sizzle

Ice cold fire juxtaposes

Breaking flames into palms

Branding universal symbols of aberration



Timeless Thoughtless Stark 

Light fuses with bone

Truth absorbs emotion

Feeling precipitates on the brow

Sweat drips down into valleys

Of unknown words 

We

Undiscovered Untainted Impenetrable

 


Encased in mystery

Eternal Fluid Ebb

Are you?

Can you?

Will you?

Write me down

History will know my name

Will speak in your voice 

Our explosion will go down in history 

Firmament bends under your will

Kinetic Reverberation Vibration

 

I don’t fade

I burn away

I whisper to you in storms

I scream thunder

Destroy the entire earth 

For you to be the only thing left to gaze upon

Nothing but essence

Energy speaks truth



Tomorrow burns bright

Swiftly Clean Pure

Your yellow lives in my eyes

Endless strokes of blue in green

Miles of sound

The sky glows

Backstroke in my mind

Your name is reflected in oceans of blue

I dive into you hoping to drown

Buoyant 

Calm eyes closed

Sailing into dreamlike state



Fade into you

Slope into you

Burrow into you

I wish to slake my thirst

These salty oceans hold no satisfaction 

Tears of time drowning

Filling Enclosing Me

Cellophane windows of pink & red

Peering out of my quiet heart

Pink fades to black 

Sleep owns your face

Dreams await

That will be soon

The bride of hope

Glistening gossamer decends

Do I obey?

Are my eyes open?

Opening portals of fear 

Strike Slamming Tremors

Spray stains, pain erupts

Careening into stone

I belong to the waves 



Words stumble and fall

When not speaking of you

To smile is to struggle, I notice

When you’re not around...

I don’t look for you

I search for you

I will never hold your hand

I will embrace it

Letting go is not an option

You will be my death

My judgement 

My resurrection


(Stop me before I start)





There is nothing but brick on the other side of the rainbow

But all I want are the colors that are in it

Painted grins

Sprayed with abandon 

Names emblazoned on concrete

Nothing that can be erased

Nothing that can be rebuffed

Nothing that can be replaced

Existant Claimed Illusion 

Name soaked into stone 

Paint your name across my canvas

Savor the crimson

Brace for eternity

I am afraid of the blue

Crisp, verdant, languid & lush

Passion blooms in purple swollen palms 

Slamming little hands into walls hurts

Bleeding dripping clenched fist covered in ink for your pleasure



I refuse to linger

I refuse to stall

I divorce the impossible

I divorce the past

I divorce the doubt

I divorce silence

I divorce the thoughts of anything but this

We speak in a language that only angels understand

While holding the hands of saints

We’ve walked on holy ground

It’s produced a miracle

The sun is dancing in Fatima

The moon is dancing in your eyes

You take on the confidence of warriors 

(I see the cracks in the facade)

The battle is bloody

This tear-stained ground calls up a warning

Songs smoke up from hallowed ground

These words 

Pure Holy Sacred 

Sound like nothing

Say nothing



You need only to look at me to know the truth

You need only to look at me to know the truth

under my bed

on a night like this
when i have used 
my body 
in ways it should 
never have known 
when the spectral images 
dark activity 
still hover 
in the room
dancing 
infront of my eyes, 
macabre reminders
haven't yet dissipated, 
haven't risen up 
and out of the window
into the darkness outside 
mingling with the other evils 
out there
the visions havent stopped, 
my heart has. 

i am lonely 
the heat of another 
dirty night, 
time hasnt taught me anything 
but how to close my eyes
pray to be new
the secrets lie 
in bed mocking me
smiling garish toothless
grins at my defeat
they don't know 
of the space 
beneath my bed
they don't know of the 
of the cool, quiet place
i don't sin there
a cool thin worn sheet, 
sunny yellow flowers
green leaves
small yellow polka dots 
perhaps they can soak cheer into me, 
pink and silver running 
sneaker as a pillow 
the secrets have never reached 
this space they float up and out
out of that window 
that window 
into the night
the cool air 
the breeze
i wonder 
if i stood on the ledge
if i put a foot out
and then another
would i walk on the stars
could i dance in the air
light and gauzy
it's so heavy
my heart 
so heavy
the weight of the bed
the weight of the bed

the weight of my past
i wish
to fly on the wind
a floating sin
have floating skin
to the sky, to the twinkle 
twinkle
away from the echoes 
reverb can't stop hearing 
heavy breath in my ear
heavy hand on my chest
heavy body
heavy bed

i was to be
weightless
i was to twinkle
i was to be cheerful 
yellow and white, light
but i can't climb 
out from under 
close my eyes 
pray to be new
under the weight 
under the weight
under this heavy burden
under the weight of this bed
