otero
Fell in love with Poe, Pablo Neruda and my grandfather's poetry at a young age. began writing songs and poems as an escape to my health troubles. After my second Heart transplant I lost my kidneys and stoped writing completely. slowly I went back to music but writing was way far away, after almost a year of treatment I was tired of spending four hours of my days with nothing to do so I began looking around for Poets that would inspire went back to my old favorites and found Maya Angelou after reading some of her work I started writing again.
Do you ever think about me?
Because my heart Still beats for you
no day goes by without you flooding my mind
and you clueless about my life
how your soul took hold of mine
for you just to walk away from time
and fall into another’s hands
and still you lurk around my head
so much I’m trying meditation
just to forget
you burned your name in my subconscious
so well
I achieved astral projection
ended by your side
oh, my soul falls apart
when I saw you and how happy you were in your new life.

All I have to give
Are words
All I have
Are my thoughts
Yet heaven knows
that they won't last for ever
For love just doesn't seem fair
And my memory fails
So I must let my fingers dance over this keys
And let them speak for me
For all I have to give are words.

Can you taste these words?
They are like paint
Over the soul
They’re both bright and warm
Or they’re both dark and cold
They can save a life
Or condemn a soul
They could inspire a man
Or just destroy his hopes
Oh, can you taste these words?
They seem so sweet
But they could just be
Bitter
Bitter like me.

Can you tell?
That my heart has grown cold
That my scars are now more
And the pain cannot be muffled
That I have drowned my self in pain pills
And yet pain is all I feel
Can you tell?
I’m not the person you once knew
Called out to God while I was dying
Yet God did not answered
I begged for death
While my chest was still open
Yet its forgiving embrace never came
Can you tell?
That all these things torture me, every day

Here I bemoan the emptiness in my soul
The absence of happiness, the endless cold
I have searched everywhere under the unforgiving sun
And I have found nothing but a broken heart
Yet one spark, took over short after
It lit my way it healed the madness
My mother and sister’s love
The one true thing that I can feel
More than pain and sadness, for their love knows no end.
And I know that it is real.

I fell in love with the girl in my dreams
then one day I manage to learn her name
We talked and laugh and this time I was awake
from then on things would not be the same
I know I was madly in love, but I cant say the same for her
I fought so hard to make it work
but thing just then began to change
instead of love, I felt pity from her
instead of smiles I received sorry stares
My life began to fade away
and with it her love
I had to walk away
never to hear from her again
but now I still find the girl in my dreams
and it hurts so bad when I'm awake

I have seen my self broken and dead
Empty, without any words to say
Kissing on the lips of my beloved
My sweet, sweet, death
She comes and goes and comes back to me
Holding me tight as I drift in my dreams
She is soft spoken
For each word steals your soul
But I know that she loves me
When she comes back for more
She has taken my life more times that I could say
But she always brings me back
So she can visit again
We are in love
Its like a game
Who wins who looses
Its all the same

Let the world turn upside down
As for me
I'll keep on being a Clown
Ignoring pain and all the things that seem important
At least to those around
I have bigger fish to fry
Ja!
Lets hope that i am still around
At least until my heart's content
And then you'll hear it loud
My laughter echoing thru the walls of life
Gliding thru ears and smiles
Leaving just one thing behind
My love for music and its sounds

Distracted by turmoil
Looking thru the window for an escape
Loosing the balance
As the tight rope breaks
This foolish act
Must come to an end
For freedom now seems
Too far away
This is not a task for feeble minds
Since we know the truth
Only the strong survives
Spinning walls
Hypnotic floors
Clawing thru life
As the air grows cold
Betraying our instinct
A haunted circus
Hiding our faces
Behind masks

Blur
A dark cimmerian dream where it has become impossible to see
There I dwell without a voice or any sleep
Under a dismal rain of fear where I am govern by my tears
And so out here I pray for the light
Chased by memories and cries and the sanguine sounds that kills the mind
So I fade away without a single word to say
In dismay with the condition of my heart
Now things have changed and just like a game I must start again
One more time
