Sweeter than Death

by Boricua In the Midwest - Jose Clavell, posted in Musical, Musical Poetry, Poetry/ Literature, Songbook

I wish I could stop this feeling
That I could stop this pain
Wish I could stop this anger
boiling through my veins

I wish you did something
(something) I couldn’t forget
Something unforgivable
Something insane

Something insane

You’ll be the death of me
you’ll take me to my grave
But death will be sweeter
when I whisper your name
& together we will be
together in our pain
together in our sorrows
together… again

I wish I could forget you
and the time we spent (yeah)
I wish I could find
someone to fulfill this space
this space you left inside me
that will forever stay

You’ll be the death of me
you’ll take me to my grave
But death will be sweeter
when I whisper your name
& together we will be
reunited in our pain
together in our sorrows
forever in our hearts

Forever we will stay

Your kisses defy death
Your touch keeps me alive
Don’t let me know
if you forget about me
or if you found another man
I know I’ll just stay here
keeping death by my side.

Diamonds

by Boricua In the Midwest - Jose Clavell, posted in Musical Poetry, Poetry/ Literature

Another day has come and gone away
Look over my phone to check if you’re awake
And here I lie asleep thinking: Will I see you again?
I pray to that God that you’ll still here to stay
Your voice haunts me time and time again
These memories just crash and here I pray
Remember those promises I made not long ago?
I’ll keep them and show you I’m something so much more…
I’m something more… I won’t go…
Your diamonds are falling
Oh, why? Can’t you see?
Can’t you see? You’re falling away from me…
I’m standing here outside your home
Waiting for you look outside
Remember when it rained, we talked all night?
That time our diamonds touched the sky?
Oh, please… please don’t let me be
Even if the winds change, beside you I will stay
To catch the diamonds you throw at me
To take us home where we should hide away
To hold you close until the dawn awaits
Your diamonds are falling
Oh, why? Can’t you see?
Can’t you see? That you mean the world to me…
you mean the world to me…
Please, stop from falling
Just let me catch you
This will go away
We’ll be free someday
Our plane ticket home
it’s just within our reach
just hold my hand
and count to three…
Diamonds stop falling
I’ll grab them, you’ll see
One day you’ll stop falling
You’ll stop falling for me…

Our Silent Night

by Boricua In the Midwest - Jose Clavell, posted in Musical, Musical Poetry, Poetry/ Literature

Crystal clear sky
Moon shining high
From a window, I can see
everything we have,
everything we can be…

In a distant land, they’ve told me
A mother holds her treasure
uncomfortable from the cold
warmed by her faithful companion
wishing to give something more…

…A wanderer stops, searching for heat
Boys and girls wait for their favorite day.
People rejoice, laugh and play

A humble tree, decorated, and sparkling shows
“The most wonderful time of the year”
Mistletoe, wreathes, and cookies
decorate our home, while our Rudolph
lays beside his gingerbread abode.

In the twilight I know
-just as the snow slows-
everything we’ve been,
everything we’ve known
all the memories unfold

Our first hello,
Our first goodbye,
Our first kiss,
Our lullaby
And here we are,
Together, at last
Together as one
In our first Silent Night…

Soñé

by Boricua In the Midwest - Jose Clavell, posted in Musical, Musical Poetry, Poetry/ Literature, Uncategorized

Soñé contigo sonriendo sin cesar
Sin ningún problema
Solos en paz
Soñé contigo, felices estábamos
lejos de aquí, por fin en nuestro hogar
Soñé de ti,
de tu y yo
soñé y soñé y soñaré sin cesar
este sueño se hará realidad
porque no cesaré hasta lograrlo
porque juntos venceremos,
y juntos triunfaremos
Soñé de las noches
que lloré por ti
porque no estabas aquí
porque no estaba allí
porque la distancia están bastarda
que nos quita el sueño,
la paz,
la calma
y con solo un beso…
un beso, me falta
Soñé de ti
solo… en la obscuridad
con el pasado, tratando de escapar
gritando,
llorando,
llamándome…
y aquí estaba,
pidiendo, rogando,
vendiéndole el alma al diablo
para poder calmarte,
para poder cubrirte,
y poder quitarte todo lo que sientes
para padecerlo yo….
y no tú
Soñé…
Soñé de tus caricias,
Soñé de tu y de lo perfecto que eres
aunque tu digas lo contrario….
Soñé de tí,
Soñé de mí
de que somos tan y para el cual,
aunque pelemos, aunque cometa errores,
aunque sepamos que no somos perfectos
pero en esa imperfección somos uno
porque siempre te he buscado y tú a mi
y por fin…
estamos juntos
Soñé de nosotros
Soñé de nuestro futuro
que aunque ahora se vea lejos, el tiempo avanzará
y tendremos lo que queremos….
nuestro hogar
nuestra compañía
nuestro amor
Soñé de nosotros
Soñé de nosotros riendo sin cesar
Con problemas, pero luchando juntos
En paz
Soñé contigo, felices estábamos
lejos de aquí, por fin en nuestro hogar….
