SYMBIOSIS

corals

as the colors of

lucid dreams

swaying away emotions

a slow-tempo ballet

flowing above reality

for deep in the throb

of every given kiss

a spell got written

and while it rants

between truth and wish

it plunges

-nightmarishly-

getting swallowed

by oceanic waves

crystallizing

their torment

so they forget

that love also

dances

away…!

Luz María López

OBLIVION

it means endearment

this anarchy of my soul

for i hold you dearest

like a cloud about to rain

yet so timeless over the sky

for i allowed your soul

to pull me with strong winds

over the limit of myself,

as full bloom hallucination

yet love always sparks a cry

and the red rose succumbs

resuscitating in ellipsis

of fire and days gone

- a carnal reverie-

resilient yet fragile

unaware of oblivion.

Luz María López

INEBRIATED

tequila for a bit of dizziness

an inescapable love whisper

fighting its way to a dream

the sweet confusion rewriting it all

a salty smile hanging around that corner

the one that we crossed one day

when our eyes were candidly talking about us

the reborn shyness of the words

pronouncing that the door was never closed

and maybe it is just the stupor of a gone yesterday

bringing back its nuances as if bewildered again,

for such is love

to kiss sweetly anew on a known frenzy

the prelude to a restless night lived together

when the crazy wish ravaging the skin left a scar,

the same one that today is calling you back.
