Here I venture into literary experimentation. I have never been consistent enough to attain a decent writing skill, to be honest. Nevertheless I wanted my early writings to have a cozy place. It is a pondered selection, of course. Although some of them, I recall, are of my teenage years.
Somewhere
Being in the middle of nowhere
Thinking of someone
To find the way to somewhere
Wherever you are, my guide-star
I'd think of you
I'd cross the line
To your warm heart
Cause you know
It's cold where I am
Without sense of time
Without taste of life
With the darkest nights
With the fear inside
Without you...
How I wished it'd come true
Being next to you
Somewhere...
Can't count the words I forgot to say
Can't make you dream of a written fate
Now you realize you don't want to be lost
in my dreams
It's so easy to escape from one's sight
but believe me, lady
You'll be forever in my heart
Together we built our history of life
Now I'm sure no second explains the eternity
And no rose is beautiful forever.
Hey, little child
The time has been your silent friend
You had to walk on the road of life
With no guide except your dreams
With the company of the silent friend
You was plenty of love, joy and fears
I'd like to see you with your warming smile
Oh, how I'd like to explain what you feel inside
But I'm just a prisoner of time.
Hey, little child,
How I'd like to see you in my mirror!
I closed my eyes for a long while
And you weren't there anymore
I even hadn't a moment to say Goodbye,
But I will keep your dreams alive
It seemed to you
It was a bad dream
But truly noone
can escape from the reality
Let it mean what you
want it to mean.
You believe
your thoughts belong to you
just think your thoughts
and let them free.
Can you sugar a sea?
Can you light
the sky with a candle
in the night?
Do you wish to see
what is out of sight?
Why do I wish to fill
the empty glass with water,
the dark room with light,
the empty heart with laughter
if I feel to cover
the sadness with a sad song,
the water with more salt,
a dream with fantasy,
a drama with tragedy?
En estas fechas tan entrañables
De algunas cosas os vengo a hablar,
De hechos sin parangón y otros no tan loables,
Hechos acaecidos en la Vieja Europa.
Prestad atención.
Reunid a toda la tropa!
En un día nublado, el Sol se esconde asustado
Porque se cierne algo imposible de explicar con palabras,
Y es que el 2015 llama a mi puerta muy alterado,
Acude lleno de nuevas noticias y muchas falacias,
en mi hogar quiere refugiarse, sobre mi calendario ilustrado,
no logro entender sus frases arcaicas,
mas le digo que es hora de defender su honor degradado
por personas de toda calaña con ideas malvadas
para liberarle de pretensiones malsanas,
para convertirlo en el mejor de los años,
sin propósitos que puedan enclaustrarlo,
sin miedos que puedan desanimarlo,
sin prejuicios que puedan ensuciarlo,
sin guerras que puedan condenarlo,
por él, sin titubeos, estoy clamando:
2015!
Pasa por mi vida para quedarte,
En mi corazón angustiado.
Friday evening
It's a Friday evening. Pretty warm outside. A cooling breeze flows through the window to refresh my ideas and help to think. It has been another exhausting day at work and I am starting to loose the vital perspective I forged in this town. Everything's new: people, place, prospects, plans. The elements to aim for the goal are scarce and meagre. I decide to open my laptop and start to type a message to you:
"It's Friday evening. Pretty warm outside. A cooling breeze..."
Make your reality
I take a step into a world full of promises
Just a bunch of meaningless noises,
With every word I am further away from reality
Embracing an incomplete, long yearned fantasy,
Deep into this soul of mine I search
Many answers to an endless quest,
I did not make up this game,
But I still roll the dice and bet
Until I loose my vitality
Until I make my reality.
Know the way
The playful morning sheen glistens on my pen
As I stare into the dark puddle of ink on my paper
Unable to move I find myself in this scene
of infinite choices
With intoxicating elation I accept this laden
There is nothing else for what I could cater
My heart will open
what my wistful mind
for me closes
