This is how it felt, inside, when we ate on the floor.
In fariness, you warned me. In fairness, hanging by a thread, felt more like walking an epic plank to board a pirate ship (of fun).

Evidentemente abrí tu novela preferida
ante la página en que el protagonista tiembla
y dibuja con crayones cien tinieblas:
cortar y leerte es un idioma, es una vena.
Me ajusta cortar y preguntarla. Tomarte y detente.
-
Me gusta tachar los versos en el texto
débil bajo mis dedos, invisible
fácilmente imaginando un otoño imperfecto
una pausa irenista
un discurso lento y risible
-
Te preguntabas cómo se esencia
ese "amor" tuyo tan incontenido y desajustado
yo contestando "si no es así no vale la pena"
imitaba a algún héroe de novela olvidada,
sangrienta, despojada de hojas.
instanciadas con puñales en los primeros capítulos.
-
Pero me levanté detrás de un podio
me hundí bajo mis propias sentencias
dormía bajo listas cursivas de pureza inspoportable
"Amar" por completo Amarte por completo derramar.
Si no es así, no vale la pena.
No juro cosas
ahora
pero en el Jardín de Infantes
yo juraba cada día encontrar los duendes que me sonreían desde la silla
yo juraba calmar el ardor de la sed de venganza, con venganza
por todos los necios, cobardes, mentirosos y sadistas
aunque no conocía esas palabras todavía
Hacer el espacio requerido para disfrutar el jugo rojo en la cajita azul (lo máximo)
no era necesario y juraba brindarle cajitas azules a todas mis queridas
y juraba mantener las lágrimas lejos y la sonrisa cerca
de todas ellas
juré
y olvidé.
Pero este febrero, llegaste y develaste aquella antigua incumbencia
y ahora no olvido
y tengo una mano en el bolsillo
porque la otra esconde un azul rojo en mi espalda.

I've been silly before. I found this tumblr kind of pathetic yesterday. It may be worth the while... I'll keep it and take it in another direction I guess. We talked briefly yesterday. Your laughter is still short, round, just short of sweet only sweet. Still makes me skip a beat or two. You wrote "butterflies". I tried yet again. Felt silly but not really bad. You shared some more infinitely intimate lines. I'm starting to "get it". Our sun is eclipsed by this giant supermassive imploded star. No one understands those. But they're scary and nothing stands in their way. I miss your hug.
Composer's Showreel. A showcase of my orchestral or made for screen/stage music.

Independent, fully equipped Composer's recording studio. Final result's in any format, using industry standard ProTools or Ableton Live Software. Generative Music also possible. Flagship Roland synth sounds. Vast world music library. Acoustic recording, vocals and sheet music possible.
Our house would have been so Etsy it'd make people cry. Spending saturday afternoons shaking up Instructables right and left, and glitching out Hackandmod s some of the more quiet nights. I swear we could school us with 4chan and some wiki stuff. I'd only ask you to keep your Tumblr to yourself since I wouldn't want us to find our Photostreams paired up with all your Deviant fans; you'd also know (because I'd let you know endlessly) you are so Textfromlastnight funny, Sucideblonde sexy and downright DinersandDives.food.net yummy. I can't have let uz this things go so easy ... our sure fire iCanhazcheeseburger ways were withing grasping distance.
