Nestor David Armas

Wanting what we cannot have,
This rings so true,
As I look at you.
Nothing I would not do,
...

I put you on a pedestal;
Not because you are unattainable;
Or because you are in a class all your own,
I do this because I want you to be special;
...

In between me and you
There are volumes untold
We the bookends
Kept the stories within,
...

Show me the other side

Where the grass grows wild,
...

Whittle me this
Stick I toss
Across the thick
Of fields
...

Today was the day
I looked about and saw the sky;
The world, everything around me
In a whole new way.
...

On the spot
And in spots
I make it rain
Really big drops
...

I hope she gets there,
Wherever she's going,
However far; however high,
Always off running; I know she'll fly,
...

Compose me a song
I'll never hear;
And I'll write you a letter
You'll never read,
...

I loved you,
But you made me past due;
My unconventional ways
Were too old school for your taste,
...

Her kisses I yearned for;

More than air, more than life itself,
...

Beauty decomposing,
Like Mozart unraveling;
A symphony from his grave,
She no longer would behave;
...

I never knew dawn could break,

With peace so deep and hope so wide,
...

I wish she'd miss

But she'd rather diss,
...

Beauty in her possession;

Is a power no mortal or god can wield,
...

Where have you been?
Have you been there
Right in front of me,
In the thin of the blue unseen
...

How do I forget you

Return you to the blue
...

Always in black

From the summer
...

It's been awhile now

Time has passed; I don't know how,
...

Stop thief!

I cried after you,
...
