Garden


Rosy sky, black forests,
At the mountain where Afroditis rests.
Worship at her feet,
Among quivering orchids retreat.

Cielos rosa, bosques negros
En la montaña en la que Afrodita descansa.
Adora a sus pies,
entre temblorosas orquídeas reposa.

Refuge warm and ready,
Blank mind, galloping heart, knees unsteady,
Silky pearls and many treasures,
fountain of life and pleasure.

Un refugio tibio y listo,
Mente en blanco, corazón galopante, piernas débiles,
Perlas como seda y un gran tesoro,
Fuente de vida y placer.
The embrace of quiet darkness,
Dance of stars and fire caress
Forbidden, covetted, sacred deviation
My garden of creation.

El abrazo de la serena oscuridad.
Prohibido, codiciado, sagrada desviación,
Danza de estrellas y caricias de fuego,
Mi jardín de la creación.

Porque vivo/Because I live

 Me haces falta
En las noches cuando no quiero ver a nadie
Me haces falta cuando no me siento linda
Me haces falta en los días en que venias a mí por refugio

I miss you
During the nights in which I don't feel like seeing anybody
I miss you when I don't feel beautiful
I miss you on the days that you used to come to me for shelter

Te empujo al cajón del fondo de mi mente en los días que rio
Me digo que te he olvidado y ya no te anhelo cada día y lo creo
Y no te espero, y ya no te pienso
Y ya no te rio y ya no te lloro
Pero te extraño cuando el murmullo calla y el grillo canta
Cuando mi mente deambula como ebrio en un callejón

 I push you to the bottom of the drawer, to the back of my mind on the days that I laugh
I tell myself I´ve forgotten you and that I don’t long for you every day and I believe it
I don't wait for you, I don't cry for you anymore
But I miss you when there´s silence and the crickets sing
Whenever my mind stumbles like a drunk

Porque vivo todavía te conservo,
Porque te quedaste en mi recuerdo como otra pintura de hace tiempo atrás
Porque no estás te pienso en las noches en que no me tengo, en las noches en que no existo
Con corazón pesado y lágrima en mejilla toco la herida que ha sanado ya
No es la herida, es el recuerdo el que escoce la emoción

 Because I live, I have you with me
Because you´re stuck in my memory like one more painting from some time ago
Because you´re not here I think about you in the nights that I don't belong to myself, in the nights that I don't exist
With a heavy heart and a tear rolling down my cheek I touch the healed wound that you left
It´s not the wound that hurts but the memory that stabs my emotions

Es un instante que se estira en espiral desde donde contemplo el ayer
Donde tus manos rozaron el espacio en que no estaba
Y el mañana en el que de nuevo olvidaré tu ausencia

 It´s just a moment that stretches turning in spirals from where I glance back at the past
Where your hands grazed against the space in which I was not
And the future in which I´ll forget your absence once again

The brief space in which you´re not around

I´ve known this song for a long long time. But just today, as I heard it, it made me think of Nichole.

Let me see if I can make any justice to the lyrics -it´s in Spanish

*
There are still remains of humidity
her smell fills my loneliness
on the bed her silhoutte´s like a promise
of filling the brief space in which she´s not around
I still don´t know if she´ll be back
nobody knows what she´ll do tomorrow
she breaks all stereotypes, she doesn´t let anyone in
she never ask anything for what she gives
she´s often violent and cute
she never speaks of forevers
but she gives herself as if there´s one single day to love
she doesn´t like company
but she loves thought-provocking songs
I haven´t asked "are you stying?" yet
I´m afraid her answer will be negative
I prefer to share her instead of emptying my life of her
she´s not perfect
but she´s the closest to what I´ve dreamed of

You


I embrace you with every one of my words
I kiss you with each letter in them
My soul is engraved in paper
Waiting to be welcome by  your wide opened arms
Waiting for a glance of your brilliant light
brightness that you hide under a thick layer of doubts,
under that misterious and sensuous stance of yours
under the magnetism and color that you exude

I miss you, you wait for me
You demand, I yield to you
You walk and I follow without hesitation
You mock me, I go mute
I uncover you, you cry
You talk, I´m yours
I open up to you, you become a stone

Sometimes, you mumble what I need to hear
and your whispers surpass any deafening cry that my torn soul might utter
equally easy you can shred my heart to nothing.

No matter what, it is you, intriguing ´till insanity
inhabitant of dreamland
with a gaze made out of broken mirrors
burning glaciers your hands

Unthinkable


More than what I thought,
A perfect vision to my soul...

Words that made the atmosphere change:
to crush me to the ground
or let me soar up, rising with the wind

A perfect vision 
that uncovers my soul
and brakes me down,
crumbles my determination
and throws me beyond my wildest dreams

Unthinkable.

Haiku


Angel´s hair falling from the sky
They crash on everything alive
 then shatter away
sprinkling all around
with light and color

**This is named Haiku because it´s my attempt at copying the poems of a book I read.
