Fighting. By Cesar Reyes

Please shed light on a path that will allow me to walk away from those who wish me harm

Please give me the strength to defend myself if I cannot find the light

Please give me the courage to not be scared

Please don’t let me cry

Please no pain

Please don’t let me fall

Please help me get back up if I should fall

Please erase the hate and anger I may feel inside of me towards my enemies

Please help me and my enemies find the common ground so that we can embrace each other as brothers

What really matters. By Cesar Reyes

Tear drops and closed caskets

Stuff crust pizza and dancing with the stars

The contradictions that exist in the world

Make me question this life of ours

Rape Victims and crack babies

Paris Hilton and Jon and Kate plus eight

I feel bad for all of their existences

Its amazing the horrors society tends to create

Racism and Genocide

Brangelina and Microwaveable food

I want the world to pay attention

But I guess to interrupt their daily lives would be rude

Global Warming and pedophile priests

American Idol and Donald Trump

When will the world pay attention to the fact

That were quickly going to be living inside a dump

Hope. By Cesar Reyes

After all the pain
and all the tears
After the emotional blizzards
I lived through for 25 years

All I have is hope

After all the broken hearts
and all the shattered dreams
After being screwed over a few times
And finding out that people aren’t what they seem

All I have is hope

After years of living
And mountains of unanswered prayers
After years of searching
And finding out that nobody out there cares

All I have is hope

After hoping for the best
And living through the worst
After my soul withers away
I have come to believe that my life is cursed

But all I have is hope

Peace of Mind. By Cesar Reyes

I breath comfortably in silence

My life long struggle is to simply just get through crowds

My poems try to raise awareness like sirens

And doing so, gives me strength and it makes me proud

A peaceful soul is the only company i'd like to keep

I tend not to trust the kindness of strangers

My poems are the method I use to weep

Id like a mind of only peace, with no worries of any dangers

I see the beauty of the world we are destroying

Someday the last rose will die

Peoples ignorance is both scary and annoying

I wonder what it would look like if the planet cried

Im searching for an existence to call my own

It is a life I have yet to find

And even if in searching I may be alone

ill stop at nothing to have peace of mind

Lost in the music. By Cesar Reyes

I can even feel it in my veins
It feels so powerful, and soothing,
It penetrates me and wipes away all my pains
Its like each time I hit a key, it does something inside of me
The music takes me
Somewhere else
A different world
An entire different
Unknown Dimension
That I can only show
With this piano
And it is something
I could never speak
Or even mention
The only way for you
to truly know
The only way for me
To be able to describe
Is to let you feel the vibe
You need to take
A moment and just
Close your eyes
Let the music pierce
Your soul and hypnotize
Your senses
                            And when you least expect it
                 You’ll suddenly be where I currently am
          You will feel like some sort of liberated spirit
         Living in a long lost psychedelic foreign land
           But when the music stops and you have to
             Come back home and open your eyes
               You’ll have to go back to your reality
                      Into what now seems like boring,
                                     Mundane lies

Just because i love you. By Cesar Reyes

 
Just because I love you
doesn’t mean I’m a let you treat me like shit
And it is because I do love you ,
That I give a fuck who your talking with
Just because I love you
 doesn’t mean I’m a accept you for the person I have in front of me
And it is because I do love you
that I want you to become all I know you can be
Just because I love you
doesn’t mean I’m a agree wichu even when your acting absurd
And it is because I do love you
That I hope from time to time you have the strength to question my words
 Just because I love you
 doesn’t mean I don’t expect us to ever grow apart
 And it is because I do love you
That even if were separated , ill always keep you in my hart
 Just because I love you
doesn’t mean I’m a tell you every day
And it is because I do love you
That I’d rather show you , and not necessarily I love you always say
Just because I love you
doesn’t mean I’m never going to get mad
And it is because I do love you
That I have the virtue to forgive you because of the bond that you and me have
 Just because I love you
doesn’t mean you will always have me here
And it is because I do love you
That if you ever miss me , just close your eyes
and remember me and you’ll have me near

Poets. By Cesar Reyes

We poets live in a world of metaphors and everlasting thoughts

We love truely but only once in our lives, but it is pure

And we give all of our strength and soul to it

We carry the million pieces of our broken hearts

In the eternal oceans that dance on the rim of our eyes

We walk through the clouds and expose mirages for who they truely are

We are remembered only by our poems that forever echo

through the sands of the universes hour glass

Wed walk the deserts of moses past

Only so that our tears can quickly dry against our skin

We are carried by howling winds through life, and together like lions we roar

And in the face of fear and terror , we whisper, we are not afraid

We exist only in solitude, as is the only place to find internal peace

We are lulled to sleep by the scents of rose gardens and fields of wild carnations

We kiss the stars and hug the moon

We read poems to angels in our day dreams

We smile underwater and in the sound of silence we kneel and pray

We grab flower petals by the fist full

And stand still as they gently float away off our han

We are poets and as long as our words are read

Past Milleniums and civilizations we poets is all that will remain

My Life. By Cesar Reyes

Whisper poems to the wind
Find myself and attempt to sin
I never cry , but tears still fall
I’ve never won , but I still stand tall
I walk in solitude , through a roaring crowd
too much pride, but I cant say I’m proud
I have trouble sleeping, but I often day dream
Love is beautiful , but its not what it seems
I’m a bum , people pretend they don’t see me
People enjoy my poems , but wouldn’t want to be me
I’m a poet, I’m a rebel , I’m a renegade
My words cut deep, sharper than any blade
I walk a fine line between genius and insanity
don’t get many compliments, I reject all vanity
I sit by the beach and imagine the shore going in reverse
Spent my life running, only to find out loneliness is a curse
Words that I speak, are not wasted and are all worth speaking
I spend my life searching for what I should truly be seeking

If i had my way. By Cesar Reyes

Id travel across the country on a truck ,
quit my job and just wouldn’t give a fuck
I'd write my poetry and drink my wine
Party all night and not give a shit about time
Id paint everyday
And day dream the whole way
Id leave footprints on the ocean wet sand
Learn to play the guitar, and start a band
Id sell oranges by the side of the road
Drink beer , watch TV and see the economy implode
 Stay up all night , watch the stars fade
Go to open mic , and read poems I made
 Go to the mountains and start a snow fight
 Wake up on some beach and continue to write
Sell my truck , and buy a Harley Davidson bike
Keep traveling and marry a woman I like
Id swim down the river, and the climb up a tree
Die of old age , get reincarnated and continue my living spree

Fall Apart. By Cesar Reyes

We see ourselves as eternal statues

Strong and full of mystique

But we are as fragile as clouds

Slowly disappearing with time

Appearing massive and eternal

But vulnerable inside

Like the clouds, we live life at our own pace

And although things get complicated

Life still has a subtle grace

As strong as we may be, our strength and weakness is our heart

There's a never ending list of things that can

make us fall apart

Direction. By Cesar Reyes

I suddenly find my life without any direction
I cant remember how I got here
I cant see where I’m going

My thoughts have no words
My feelings cannot be trusted

Life is like driving through fog
By the time you see what it is that’s
Really in front of you, its too late

All my mistakes are different
All my mistakes are the same

We all spend our lives learning from past errors

Those with no regrets, never admit to mistakes
Mistakes are doors that you should not have opened

Sometimes it is necessary to be lost for a while,
So you can figure out where your going
