Love Today by Vanessa Matic
The next installment by 22-year old New York poet/hustler/muse/model Vanessa Matic is called ‘Love Today’ and can be read after the break.
LOVE TODAY
You can fall in love today
and feel that it will leave
tomorrow
I am awakened by the pull of things
I need to do it’s not about me and you
There’s something inside of us unfinished
that complains, feels like being warm and
laying on a cold floor
Ready to get up as fast as you can
Yet it was good to feel it and the moment
passes
A fantastic moment free of return
A brilliant silence rarely heard
You should take every moment
you can get if it feels right if it stands
like a withered scare trembling in your
skin because you know it will haunt you
still
Your child heart growing to become a more
flawed person
I have so many memories of boys and girls
I knew
Each one were true in their own ways
I loved his hair that was like silk string black
and long on his pale skin I loved his green
eyes on his olive skin her hair golden and opal
eyes soaring
Some days feel like hours some
hours feel like days I prefer both
no matter good or bad the balance
of dark to light
Serendipity
I know I wouldn’t feel so happy
If I was never so sad
Shedding stories
Memories floating
Never go back on things you hoped
never happened everything blossoms
in spring feel the freedom of a new thing
The snow is beautiful like this girl Emily
The sun is memory of two olive boy beauties
Abdul and Oliver, that’s how I remember my
gardens lemon trees that disappeared in the
roaring breeze
I always dare to go back and see their roots
swiped clean planting nothing this year
Some joy in the flat field some boring worry
in me drinking wine on the cool eve
Paradise in city I saw New York Statue of Liberty
blow a kiss to me and the highest sky skyscraper
shows the stars like electric new years fireworks
That’s how I remember those special eyes
We were dancing all night with nothing but
great hunger for happiness and the smoke
of cigarettes and the liquor of sour tomorrow
Sweet in ecstasy with the night that moves our feet like
to show how alive we move with fire and you feel me stronger
like this, you love most extravagant like this, and where
do we find such lovely people like this, in innocence to
obey what is ok and what is ok? The night itself explodes
more than my eternal purified feeling to love life outside
it’s shell
You are not a shell, you are love like I am nontransparent
in fiery hues that twist like a roller coaster but when you go
there’s no return
You open up your arms and give away your body to
the feeling of quick frightful bliss jumping into new
boundaries laugh with me once more before we go
Before midnight I’m all alone
As we grown I feel us the same we still stick around
to what we thing works best
We escape in pleasure that we find best
Tend to things that we wish to mend and
that’s how we put our hearts fears in an
envelope to be sent
Happenings that are beyond control are
beyond my control and if I hurt anyone it
was beyond my control for my nature is
bittersweet
Yet the aimless target was hit by standing
in the living room to long I never wished to
cause regret or pain at all I wanted always
joy knowing that it’s a constant chasing change
Happiness is the best friend but it to leaves
you sometimes on the other end
I saw it wave knowingly to me as I was very sad
I knew it would come back to me but this time we
argued thru and too clear to make this time that peace
but it’s a true friend I know that’s why it will come back
brighter and fearless of pretend
It will always quarrel but embrace me
It will sometimes hide and then it will chase me
