No te conozco
Como quisiera
Extranjera Hermosa,
Pero en mi vida
Como te extraño;
Como un sueño
Que uno acaba de tener
Pero a los minutos se huye
De los pensamientos,
Estos sentimientos
Me queman
A pesar
De ser solo cenizas,
Tu rostro
Me invade
Detrás de las cortinas
De mis ojos,
En noches
Como esta,
Pienso en tu fantasma
Como si fuese
La mismísima sabana
Que me resguarda,
Pienso en ti
Bella extraña,
Y se me hace tan extraño
Que te recuerde
Con tan solo haberte
Conocido unos pocos minutos
Como granos en un desierto
Pero cómo quedan
En los zapatos sin querer…

I do not know you
Like I'd like to
Beatiful foreigner,
But in my life
Oh how I miss you;
Like a dream
That one has just had
But in a few minutes escapes
From your thoughts,
These feelings
Burn me
Even though
They are only ashes,
Your face
Invades me
Behind the curtains
Of my eyes,
In nights like these,
I think of your ghost
As if it were
The very sheets
That embrace me,
I think about you
Gorgeous stranger,
And it seems so strange to me
That I remember you
Having only
Met you just for a few minutes
Like grains of sand in a desert
But; oh how they linger
In your shoes incidentally...
Oh that I would
Have more hands
To touch you with,
Oh that I could
Have more legs
To run to you,
Oh that I should
Have more eyes
Have more ears
Have more lips,
To see more
To listen more
To say more
All the things
Of you
By you
About you,
Because I feel
That one of me
Is not enough,
One of me
Can only do so much,
And I don't want you to tire
To grow dull and bored
To walk away
From me,
When all I am
Everything you see
Everything you feel
From me,
Is all that I am
Just for you...

You want to
Mend my heart;
With what? Staples?
It's more than
Ten sheets thick
I don't care
How industrial you go,
And I laugh
At your staple gun
And even your nail gun,
Put away the duct tape
It'll just slide right off,
Oh; I see,
You brought plenty
Of Krazy glue,
Are you kidding me?
You might as well
Use fly paper,
None of this will do,
No siree, Bob
You can't fix my heart
And you sure as hell
Can't build me a new one,
No one with a hardhat
Nor white coats or stethoscopes
Can undo what she broke,
Only she is the remedy
Only she is the cure,
And my local drugstore
Doesn't carry her
Not even in generic,
So as far as I can tell
I'm stuck with this malady
Most inconvenient tragedy...

Maybe I do miss
Hearing my name
Dive off her lips
Plummeting
Into my heart
From the heights
Of her voice;
Parasailing
To my ears
The sweetest breeze
Like the lightest kiss
On my dreary brow,
The allure of her
Like the glow
Of jewels
And trinkets,
But that she
Could procure
From such
A simple gesture
So much
Yearning
Was the red flag
That made me flee
And once I caught my breath
I spilled my guts
A catharsis of emotions
I couldn't imagine sinking into
A quick sanded trap
I barely escaped and I sigh...

Will you please
Come with me;
Will you please
Follow me,
Stand here
And stay
Ever so still
My dear,
Under this overpass
While I cross it
To get over you?
The tears I've spilt
May be to you
Like water
Under this bridge,
But it's still flowing
And I can't change that
Unless I find a way
To forget
And move on
Though I may still carry
A torch,
I hope a new breeze
May come
From someone
Else's eyes aflutter
To blow out this flame
From whence it came...

I want to look
But
She's making me nervous,
In my infinite
Peripherals
She roams,
I the gazelle
And she
The lioness
Hidden
In the tall brush,
But as she nears
I am hunter
Hiding my fear,
But one lone bead
Escapes me,
And I know I'm prey
In her clutches
Talons that can dig
Into me
Tearing me up
Like a measly mouse,
But she merely asks
For the time of day
And as she walks away
I recede back into my tower
At the ready if she beckons
To chime out the next hour...

I liked you
Yesterday,
I'll like you
Tomorrow,
I like you
Today,
I'll like you
Day after day
Even after every
Sundae,
I'll like you
From every
New year
Through
Every leap year,
From time
To time
I'll keep
Liking you,
Because hey,
What's not to like
About you?
I like you
Even if you don't
Like yourself,
I like you
Even if you don't
Like me,
But I really really
Love you...
