Embrace

Dedicated to a very special person

Hold your head
In my soul
I can feel you
Everything is so right
Tonight
Breathe in me
I just need you
To free me from this life
Tonight
You're the one
I just need you
Please show me I'm not bad
Tonight
I need someone
Someone like you to
Free me from this misery

The Orb

2008-10-25T15:13:00.000-07:00

Here I am
Hold Me
Far from an obtuse figure
Weak, feeble, but full of grace and compassion
I hold the key, within
Heavy and full of lifelessness
Moving slowly, about to crush you
Far from Man's control
Desires
...And fantasies

The Crawl

2008-10-16T13:33:00.000-07:00

Rain fills the suburban plains

Hours become days

Days become night

The storm cloud floats over my head

And I feel as if I have died

Mud is my salvation

As I sink further and further

I begin to crawl again

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Twilight Revelations

2008-10-16T13:31:00.001-07:00

The stars seem to entail

Themes of everlasting desire

I hold my hand up high as if I can grasp its power

Twilight fills the night within my soul

Moving slowly

Gray clouds before the radiant star-lit sky

Holding the moon in a flawless pose

Screaming for compassion

I fall to my knees

Clasping within my hands

A message

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Nevermore

2008-10-16T13:29:00.000-07:00

Together we lay

Drinks in hand

I think of something

But it’s not the same

You don’t exist

But when I think

That’s all I need to feel you

One more for the road

I lay to rest

My body’s shutting down

You’re beside me

That’s all I’ll ever need

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Hope

2008-10-15T01:18:00.001-07:00

Nothing can ever describe him

Walking alone and crippled, nobody will remember, this man

But he did meet someone, one fine day

Arriving in his presence, I say

“The flowers are taller than usual”

His one eye glistened, resembling a fool

With an amazing shine of tears which drool

“You speak like a pessimist, nothing more…”

“…and I will see to it that you grow, young one.”

After words like that, you would think the conversation is done

With a change in tone, you could see his words

Moving like overweight birds

“You should enjoy candle light dinner, with a loved one perhaps…”

“…but you seem to prefer solitude.”

I could feel my bones grind and hollow

And fill with truth and remorse

I cringe and the man smiles from ear to ear

“…Or maybe you don’t belong here, or anywhere.”

He turned and slowly walked away

Stopping halfway, struggling to turn and stare

Silence

I raise my hand to speak but he cripples me with fear

I have nothing, only tears, only hope

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

I Am Nothing

2008-10-14T00:30:00.001-07:00

Dreadfully, I stare at the back of my hand

Words form within my head

Each one becoming clearer as I align lies to them

Maybe if I use them, I will be something

With each day becoming closer to my last breath

I hope that each lie creates a memory

And that I become that memory

This is my letter to a disordered society

From the guest that never leaves after the party

I hope that each refined lie I leave to you

Will create something from nothing

Which is something… a lot better than nothing

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

The Special Friend

2008-10-09T12:19:00.001-07:00

There is nothing better than me

Perhaps until you grow old

But I will always be your special friend

I’m there in the day

I’m there in the night

Even after you leave

I’m always there until you return

I’m worn and torn

But always brand new in your heart

As you age, day by day, year by year

I slowly vanish

Sometimes literally, sometimes from your mind

Even though, somehow, I can always be found once more

And no matter what happens

I will always be your special friend

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Loner

2008-10-09T12:16:00.002-07:00

The man rocks back and fourth

Upon no chair, fetal position and heavy breathing

Cigarettes don’t exist

No one is around

The man looks at pictures of the ones he loves

And that they will never return

Forever bound to memories and their sensations

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

The Eternal Gaze

2008-10-09T12:16:00.001-07:00

I look into your eyes

And it reminds me of the time

When we were one

If we were one

Inside this heart of mine

I look into your eyes

And I bleed this love of mine

When we were one

And we were one

Inside this heart of mine

And the ship begins to sail

And the wind takes you away

Doves will fly and angels cry

I have no alibi

And the ship begins to sail

And the wind takes you away

Lips will join and flowers bloom

6 feet inside this tomb

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Rain

2008-10-09T12:14:00.002-07:00

More and more, the rain will come

Pouring down from my only cloud

The water runs down my face

Through my hair and off my frown

The taste is too mush to bare

Too much to comprehend

I’m on my knees inside this storm

My fists are bleeding from the palm

I can’t find my way from here

I can’t find my heart again

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Under my Eternity

2008-10-09T12:14:00.001-07:00

Nothing explains my happiness, nothing

You can give me the earth, moon, and sun

And forever no replacement, in all seriousness

For her diamond coated eyes

The smile that glows like the moon and lightens my soul

The feelings she gives me, brighter and warmer than the sun

The personality of a real dream goddess

The smell of warm honey and beautiful spring flowers

But I’m not the fool to sit around

No, but I’m silent in that aw you feel

An aw that can be broken from a pinch

That in no way, can wake me from this endless dream

A dream I longed for under my eternity

I say, nothing explains, not even I

As a man of few words, I can only express

Nothing explains my happiness, nothing

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Endless Dreams

2008-10-07T22:44:00.001-07:00

A chilling breeze upon my shoulders

Death will take me home

Death follows, don’t ever stare into the night

And share all inner fears

Most will fall

And will make it further

The dark as a savior

Bringing long awaited, endless dreams

Darkness, the final embrace

One true love

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

A December Night

2008-10-07T21:56:00.000-07:00

Within this winter night

My breath, a mist with every huff

My eyes, stinging

I wait, listening for every tick from my watch

Another meaningless night

My love, cold

Compassion, a desire never to be acknowledged

Cursed within a December night

This arctic tomb…

I once laid my turquoise lips in vain

My nose, fingers and toes become numb

Slowly, frost within my blood

Creeping through my veins, then, within my heart

My love, frozen

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

The Promise

2008-10-07T21:35:00.000-07:00

Even though I don’t know if you exist

I already love you

And I will never feel your kiss

Or experience your love

When all my tears turn to blood

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Smoke

2008-10-07T21:34:00.000-07:00

Every drag makes a circle

I write infinite wisdom

White can seem orange

With all the right words

The phone will ring and I taste ash

Like I taste you

Listening to your voice

My heart beats faster and faster

As lungs contract

Your wisdom is orange

And all my desire will drift and dissipate

Into nothing

- Daniel Ferro, 2008

Embrace

2008-10-07T21:27:00.000-07:00

You see the flame arise

As my blue eyes begin to die

To watch you walk away

Cry and scream, return

With one hand out, I pull

Grasping emptiness

Death becomes my one true love

Embrace the cold within

And to feel this pain within my veins

Reminds me, I’m alive

So dark, so cold, so alone

My body becomes white

Your breath is warm

It’s all I feel

It keeps my soul attached

Your voice will echo through my head

I embrace your inner light

Each breath I take expires too fast

But it’s enough to pass the time

- Daniel Ferro, 2008
