01
It was a morning on Sunday
from a day in May.
In a corner of a playground
I stand there the more annoyed
and the more you found the courage.
Coming closer to me and you smiled
I was almost mesmerized.
You took a step further
with your scraped knees,
with your dirty hands holding a kite.
You were excited while you getting ready to talk.
Unaware we were destined to die together,
Asked the oblivious you ;
Do you want to be friends with me?
Wanna fly this kite together?
Wanna take a walk into the unknown?
Will you hold my hand on a happy day?
Will you lend me your shoulder on a bad day?
Would you cure my sorrows away
if it means I get to complete you?
While I was so overwhelmed
by the sun,
by the warmth,
by the thoughts and
by the means,
I said yes with knowing
I’d say yes on any chance I’ve given.
How did the kites go high and high
when we were destined to stay rock bottom
How they were so free
so careless
unable to touch
to break
to harm
while we were broken in every way
But it did not matter to you
So neither to me
You loved the kites
and I loved, even more, to watch them from your eyes.

You did not know,
how much I loved you
how much I think of you
while writing these poems.
The more I feel the breeze
across my face
the more I remember you,
Your viridescent eyes
and the bright smile,
made me not ever want to remember
those days in despair.
Tried the filthy hands to take you from me,
while my eyes watered
I begged you to stay.
I will never forget
your shining eyes and the look on your face,
wrecking my heart while you speak.
You escaped so freely,
you were full of courage
while I was a coward
You wanted to see, wander,
follow your heart
while I was so dumb to ask
of you stay.
You wanted to fly as high as those kites we flew,
wanted to be untouchable
while I couldn’t take my dirty hands off of you.
You wanted to fly as high as those kites we flew,
wanted to be impossible to be harmed
while unaware the more you stayed with me
the more you were harmed.
I was so selfish and you were so blithe,
I was so incomplete and you were so limitless…
You let go of my hand,
flew so high that I cannot reach.
I cried like a child
who lost his kite into the blue sky.
While I couldn’t do anything for it
I finally let my corrupt soul follow you.
