Acaso no pasa el tiempo.

No es el presente un instante,

que termina en el pasado.

Acaso no funciona el reloj que tengo.

No pasa en sus manos mi tormento.

Si no envejece el segundo que me tiene sufriendo, sabré!

Acaso no es verdadero,

Todo lo que estoy viviendo.

Its gone!
It flew away.
The instant I hesitated.
Never to return my way again.

I’m sorry,
if he’s a lot like me.
Yes I am stubborn and hard headed.
Maybe I say things I later wish I had not.
I don’t make sense sometimes and can be confusing.
But for all my failures I also am quick to forgive!
I love whom I love with all my strength.
I know he loves you.
And for that I not sorry,
If I am like him,
Or if he’s a lot like me.

I know it!
It has to be me.
I must show you the hard truth.
Nobody else has the obligation to teach you.
It is my responsibility to do it.
I know you're going to hate me for this.
I even comprehend it.
My only hope is that you’ll soon understand.
Loving you obliges me.
I will be like nobody has been.
Not helping you continue the broad path you take.
Closing the door when you least expect it.
Locking myself out of your life,the price I am willing to pay.
It’s steep, but worth every day I pray.
You will hate me and I understand.
My only hope is that the day will come soon and you’ll understand.
I must scold you.
Loving you obliges me.

Dijiste “Yo,no soy ella”
Pero dime, por que te ofendes?
Cual de sus cualidades más te molesta?
su paciencia,compasión,
bondad,sensatez,prudencia
o su belleza! quizás su manera de amar !
Dijiste,”yo, no soy ella”!
me entristece!
Pero,debo decirte,
tienes razón.
No te compares a ella,
es muy superior a ti!

Que difícil es vivir siempre recordando
El mejor día que Dios te a dado.
Y yo he pasado más de 40 años anhelando superarlo
pues yo solo tenia 3 años!
He vivido muchos días fracasando!
Eh pasado días muy gozosos.
Dos hijos vi nacer,me casé,y he reído en incontables festejos familiares.
Estoy agradecido por todo lo bueno que he tenido.
Pero que difícil es vivir más de 40 años fracasando.
A mis 3 años de edad,hice lo mejor de mi vida. No he logrado superarlo!
Lo recuerdo mas,cuando las estoy mirando.
Y si las dos sonríen en mi presencia,felizmente,cuarenta años más,viviría fracasando.

One scotch on the rocks helped overcome.
My mind was made;yet,not quite done!
Leaving in the time, I found a bar!
A single malt helped me tonight!

I saw bags packed, all left behind.
Anger,pain;filled heart and mind.
Returning was definitely not the first plan.
Not when I left my home tonight.

A single malt, time to cool off.
My rage it helped me put behind
I left, all lost,my mind made up.
A bar, some time, one scotch,
Helped me tonight.

I saw a miracle occur.
I heard a mother’s saddest cry!
I felt the pain of needing breath!
I learned a verb known as love.
I’ve traveled some,My roots grew wide.
I swam in oceans,And flew the skies.
I mounted horses,And rode the lines.
I played the piano,plus horns of brass.
The cords of music,My feet have danced.
I write in verses,My love was cast.
I  am a brother, husband and dad!
I made mistakes,Had many laughs.
I search for answers,In the night skies.
I am a dreamer,Days of my life.
I shared a few,Within this lines.

I get entangled to my dreams.
Like the dawn does to the sun.
With in them,I find the
peace desired.
Awake, I see sad darkness.
Clouded skies filled with rain.
I am filled with confusion, mixed in wrong questions.
Dreaming reigns clarity, the answers stand out.
The sky clears,  the light of dawn,triumphantly shines.
I get entangled to my dreams.
Conscious, I will awaken in the night.
Wishing to be covered by the light of your smile,my dawn.
And happily; I get entangled to my dreams.

How long it takes the dusk to dawn.
A ticking clock signals in years.
The years go by with blinking eyes.
An honest witness is named a mirror.
But there’s another way that’s just as real.
A sorrowed heart the clock tick steals.
Two teary eyes are blind to years.
It’s a mirage! that lying mirror.
The dusk to dawn,
how long it feels!
Yet;I know now,
an easy night,
a healed soul
yields.

The dark night reaches him.

It is seen by defeated eyes.

Another night , filled with a muted implore.

That has not tried to break the silence.

With the sonorous tune of his voice.

Valuing the promise delivered.

but wishing it comes to your eyes

And I recognize, the ink is my own.

He imprints the letters of his inner cry.

In this humble sheet.

I love you!

Once More
By
Jorge Rangel

I remember Selene shrieking.
Even more,
I hear you guffawing.
She voiced  "stop! your going to **** her".
You shouted "once more "  screaming in laughter.
Our sister worried,
caring for your safety.
While we wrestled again
louder and faster.

I can't speak more of that day.
Time has taken in its passing.
My memories have faded with age.
Broken-hearted a day can't be everlasting.
Kids who previously played have grown up.
Sharing more than blood in their veins.
That day is gone to be back never.
But a brothers love firmly remains.
Silent,patient,waiting for you!
To say “Once more”  boisterously laughing.
