Maude Varela

Captive

Slave to myself

Living in a prison

Always wanting what I can’t have

Foolish

Unable to get what I want

Impossible affair

Wanting to love

But can’t

Weeping

The hurricane

Total devastation

Puerto Rico se levanta

Stronger

Verde que te quiero verde!

Que te quiero rojo!

Que te quiero azul!

Que tequiero blanco!

Que te quiero gris!

Que te quiero amarillo!

Que te quiero negro!

Que te quiero!

Pure love

My gift to you

A selfless gift from me

Accepting without conditions

Be free

To make your own choices as wished

The essence of true love

Unselfish love

I am

Daughter

My flesh and blood

Myself incarnated

Dreaming of you for many years

My love

My Life

You are here now

Dream materialized

Here to mend my spirit

My gift

Homeless

Craving ice cream

He wanted vanilla

A special treat on a hot night

Got it

So far

Yet, so close too

You are inside of me

Flooding my heart with your presence

With me

Everywhere I go I see you

Following every step

Walking with me

You are

Lusting

My hungry soul

Your hot sexy body

I tremble when I think of you

Tempting

I can not take it anymore

What have you done to me

Hard to handle

It hurts

I walk

My feet strolling

Without you next to me

You walk solo farwaway too

Obliged

To my unwanted destiny

Stoic resignation

Hoping with you

To walk

Naked

Lying in bed

Touching myself slowly

The excitement is humongous

Trembling

The anticipation kills me

Waiting for you I am

Thinking of you

Alone

Takers

Selfish creatures

Unfit to love others

Always living in scarcity

How sad

Taking as much as they can take

Disregarding others

Beware of them

Fear sucks

Water

Transparent, blue

Invigorating, cooling, stimulating

Refreshing my whole body

I am

An enigma

Enigma I am not

Only a few souls understand me

Puzzling

Broken little pieces I am

Lots of gluing required

Far from easy

Unsolved

Questions

Only one asked

But he never answered

She sees the writing on the wall

Careless

It’s time for her to forget him

Her time is precious too

Friend zone it is

That works

You create endless poetry

Silent, ancient

Drowning, sinking, alluring

In the big apple

Together

Dreaming

With one hello

Wishing for one hello

Waiting and hoping constantly

From him

You think

That you know me

You don’t know me at all

Skin deep is everything I post

Not deep

I am a lot more than a post

I am more than Facebook

Get to know me

Surprise

Life is

Perfect as is

A constant source of love

The motivation that drives me

A gift

The man

Riding the bike

Sweet, friendly, inviting

He has such a beautiful face

A boy

My mind

Thinking of you

I can not stop myself

Constantly carrying it out

Burrowed inside my chest

Missing you like crazy

The pain is excruciating
