Lay me down among the sunflowers
To look up at the sky forever

Please
Beyond the stars
Deep under the see
Like ashes in the wind
Into oblivion.
.... Please

Voices
Voices in the rain
Whispers in the air
They're calling
They're calling
They say we're here to stay.
Voices in the rain
Whispers in the air
They're crying
They're dying
They mourn the life that was taken away.
Voices in the rain
Whispers in the air
They're singing
They're pleading
Let us join the sea today.
Voices in the rain
Whispers in the air
Thunder, lightning
We're falling
We're breaking
Frail creatures made of clay.

The well
Walking through the desert,
Pass the dual door,
I found
A well.
It called itself empty and dark
But it was full of stars.

It's been forever since I have posted. I had ideas but this one is perfect for a first post after so long

Así somos
Un día nos reímos,
Al siguiente discutimos,
Y volvemos a reir;
Así nos amamos.
Eres la misma niña de cabellera medianoche y ojos felinos,
Mi musa de risa fácil y alma sencilla
Y aunque tu cabello empieza a brillar con plata,
Y tu cuerpo muestra las marcas de nuestros sueños,
Te veo; no has envejecido un día.
Me diste lo que nunca soñé,
Me enseñaste lo que buscaba,
Cuando la oscuridad robó mis recuerdos, tu nombre aún resonaba en mi memoria fracturada;
Una y otra vez y aún una más no me dejaste partir
Una sonrisa de tu boca alegre, esa mirada que solo ve almas,
Tu corazón generoso,
tu voz que no sabe mentir...
Estoy atado a ti con un vínculo cuya influencia no sabe de tiempo, distancia, vida o muerte Es todo lo que pedí,
Es lo que solo con vos encontré
Nunca te vi,
Otros ojos y una boca ajena apuntaron en tu dirección,
Uno y otro pretexto,
Te dije si, luego que no,
No te cansabas, no te rendiste;
Tu cabello crespo, nariz perfecta, tez de luz, abrazo fuerte... Tu imagen no volvió a dejar mi cabeza
Eres mi hogar,
Con quien soy fuerte, con quien soy bueno, con quien soy yo
Y aunque vuelo,
Y aunque vague,
Te llevo en el centro del corazón, en mis pupilas;
Si no te tengo, me pierdo, desaparezco.

Ritual
Looking at the white ceiling,
Waiting to fall asleep,
Every beat of my heart says I miss you
Every brain cell scoff,
They remind me it wasn't real,
The unforgiving reason speaks up,
It points out it wasn't meant to be.
Still, the rhythm of my chest
Silently proclaims your name.
Only your name for the last half decade,
Your name said like a prayer
To a goddess that hears not
She isn't merciful, she isn't real.

Talk to me
Have you seen, darling, how in every story plot we've ever read and watched not saying what the heart wants has brought so much trouble?
It's a superfluous example, I know, but life is art and even the most vain movie started as a spark of art.
Don't assume that your heart's whispers have been understood.
Assume, darling, that the world is blind and deaf.
Tell me loud and clear what your soul wants me to hear
I'm a child, darling, I barely know the world,
Tell me like you'd tell a child,
Weave a story that keeps my lips parted and my eyes on you.
Tell me so that our world becomes crystal clear.
