I wish, I wish
To see afar
Way beyond the northern star
To glimpse of wonders
Not made by chance
Or us, mankind, somehow in advance
But by He who holds us in his arms
Loving, loving, warding off harm
So may I not, or if I may
See the wonders of today
I faithfully remain
Where I stand
Forever held by His own hand
No wish, no wish
One can make
Could take me to a happier place

Freedom is nonexistent
Liberty is a lie
Independence is fiction
Emancipation is a death
There's nothing to do!
Suenan campanas difíciles de oír, dentro de ti,
son tus metáforas y mi poca cordura en colisión,
formando notas que no podemos decir,

Surcas la nobleza de decir sin decir, naturalmente
quieres que yo diga lo que no puedes contar,
pero ante el andar de la duda y tus acertijos
prefiero volar inconsciente
y darle cabida a un nuevo presente.

Quiero decirte que eres vital para mí
que con tus besos y tus misterios me haces sonreír,
tus recuerdos dibujan conciertos dentro de mí,
es lamentable que me tenga que ir.
A una mujer, una amiga, te quiero...

Probablemente mientras duermes, alrededor de las once yo sigo despierto y dormito ideas, mi cuerpo flota y en el sillón viendo al techo esta tu espacio, un metro cincuenta y ocho, eternos.
Una extraña marca en la pared que solo yo puedo ver ha quedado,  me estoy acostumbrando a ella ya que de vez en cuando logro evitar su mirada, sobre todo cuando es de noche y apago la luz; todos lo saben, la noche hace invisible la propia oscuridad y encierra en un dulce  parpadeo la cordura.

Y así son las doce y tú duermes, mientras yo camino por las calles, solo para seguir en la luna al reflejo de tus ojos.


¿Has notado como las cosas cambian en la noche?, las horas se doblan sobre otras y hacen perder el hilo de los minutos, la sombra cambia los colores, la forma de la vereda hacia tu casa ya no es tan segura, ni las figuras que se puede imaginar en ella durante el día y quizás en la noche el tiempo pasa más lento en tu boca, pero me queda la duda de que solo sea la noche y no tu boca, ¿cómo saber si el sabor será el mismo mañana a las seis?

Y así son las tres, y me pierdo en el mismo lugar al que mi mente llega todas las noches, el desenlace y el terminal al que a esta hora conducen todos los caminos, espejismo.

Solo sé que no soy yo el que duerme.

Lawan
I face a hurricane out in the middle
of the ocean,
huge terrible waves sway the ship,
lightening occasionally flashes above
to interrupt complete darkness,

It is raining

wild thunder rages from a distance,
strong winds blow fiercely
pulling at my coat

And I--
standing at the edge
of this sinking ship--
with gritted teeth,
a wet cigar hanging on my lips

eyes ablaze,
stare at this daunting scene
Unafraid
What will be, will be
What is this?
I am restless
I don’t know why
But, I feel no interest
Just force a smile upon

What is this?
I see no color
But, I am not blind
Oh, I see, the world is black
No love, no affection

What is this?
This emptiness I never felt before, or
I did but chose to ignore
And live a life of mere glass that can shatter
Shatter at the slightest touch

What is this?
I am breathless
As if someone is following me
Or is it that I want to catch someone
How do people smile so easily?
Live so freely
Will ‘they’ answer me?
If I ask
The reason for life to be bestowed upon us

What is this?
I feel alone, separated, anxious
I am scared
I want to live
No perhaps I don’t
Yes  
No matter where I search
Whom I ask
They give no reply

What is this?
I am eager
I want someone to share my feelings with
I searched here and there
Tried to open up to many
But ended up hurt

What is this?
Ah! I see, perhaps end
Searching for someone I came across this question
Why is life bestowed upon us?
I am alone
I want someone
I call out will all my might
But no one listens
I am tired
I will just live like others
Yeah

What is this?
In the end I give up
That someone I want to share my feelings, myself with
Is no where
Oh! I give up
I am really afraid
Scared
I am as if bond by invisible chains of
Of what
Hatred, love, anger?
No perhaps emptiness

What is this?
I am alone
In this darkness days pass
But no one comes
Please come
Someone
I want to open up
Share
I can no longer live alone
Why
Why is life in the first place?
I don’t want jealousy to devourer me
Please I am alone

What is this?
I feel attracted to someone or
Perhaps I am forcing myself to be attracted
Wanting to live on imaginary lies
Yes
Lies
All are lies
This life is itself
Having no reason to exist
Is there an afterlife
A happy one
Where I can find someone to open up
If there is I wish to die
Oh! God forgive me
But I can no longer
Handle these injuries, pain, and suffering
Not anymore
I am gradually giving up
On the believe on the very existence of happiness
But,
Please, if my angel exists let my voice
My hearts reaches you and find me
Before I am devoured by this darkness



For,
I give up on this life of mine
what's the use of a heart when your heart gets broken.
what's the use of breathing when you leave me breathless.
what's the use of a soul if your soul gets stolen.
what's the use of speech when you don't even speak to me.
what's the point of feelings if someone dislikes you for them.
what's the point of you and me if you know that it will never work out, but i thought it would.
so here i lay crying on the floor "i loved you and i still do". but you go and forget my feelings for you...
