A Beautiful Young Girl

A Beautiful Young Girl

A collaboration between Edwin Calvo and Vincent Santos Jr.

She walks by, she is blind existence and purposeful

With German blue eyes and Russian red skin, 

She is resiliently taking in all I dish out

And responding in contrast.

She Challenges my intellect, without a doubt,

She makes me seem a jack ass.

She humbles me, what I threw out

Now seems idiotic making me feel like brass

about the love that through out

our lives felt so godsend like mass

I take my time to think

How I may sweep her off of her feet

and hopefully my Yin

might take to her Yang

and in hope trust she meets

the love she ought to find in me

because life exists

and not all existence exists in me.

Regrets

I regret falling off the map

When you needed that

Friend.

I hope that you can understand

That, although

I am distant at times, I miss you and I need you close.

I know that I don't deserve you

But now I irk for you

And now I know

That karma is a bitch because I need your glow.

That beautiful shine

That made me feel happy 'til the end of time.

So now I close

My eyes as I doze

Off into the night

As the hopes of having you take flight

And your presence dissipates

Depriving me of your warmth, as my life this solitude degrades.

Meant To Be

Dedication made to Mariela Ramos from Jorge Rojas

I spoke to God and I

Asked Him where true beauty lies.

He showed me an image of you

And said, "indeed she is beauty and truth."

And I understood,

I understood that we were meant to be,

You were made for me,

I was made for you,

We were meant to see

Each of us grow old.

We were meant to form a home

And from there move on

To a new life,

As husband and wife,

I as yours, you as mine.

Our eternal love, oh so divine.
