LEARN:
We know nothing in the end,
every day is a moment to learn.
Life is a line between our points,
let's discover how to live, all of us,
let's share love.
From love,
let's look,
and live,
among everyone,
in the world.
And let's learn,
to know how to discover,
the wonders
of the world,
every day,
in that
love,
that
makes
life,
life.
For Myself:


I want a little peace,
I want to calm myself,
just a little love,
a little bit of light.
Just a little of what's gone,
I want to remember the love I had.
I want to give myself a break,
that intimate moment,
just for me, so secret.
To take care of myself a little.

A poem to comfort me,
to dream from nostalgia.
A poem that consoles me,
caresses to keep me company.
A little while for myself,
I want to pamper myself,
I want to love myself.
I want to stop crying for sorrows,
I want to dream that everything is fine,
I want words to embrace me.
Those tender moments,
to rest my soul.
I want to be so selfish,
that I make this poem,
just for me,
to heal myself,
with my verses.

A small poem for me,
to remember that I must love,
that love that starts with me.
A poem I will never publish,
just another whim for me.
They are pampering to soothe me,
to spoil myself, just for me.
That oasis to console me.
a tender moment of peace.

A secret poem,
a lullaby for me.
From my heart,
to heal wounds.
A tender poem,
from that child of mine.
At Last:

The day's end has come,
let's head back home.
To receive hugs,
let's give those kisses,
it's today's celebration.

The day concluded,
caresses arrive,
in the sweet home.
With so much love,
amidst the fire,
in your home,
the coolness,
of the breeze,
of love.

Welcome,
to your house,
with love,
to enjoy,
it's the party,
of life.

It's the family,
with the children,
with your friends,
in well-being.
That is happiness,
enjoy the home,
and life will smile upon you,
in sweet love.

In the home,
of fire,
of living,
warm,
life,
with
cold
and
heat.

"Yes, life is simple… but it can also be fabulous."

FEAR OF LIVING


Fear of dying,
you are so afraid,
that you let yourself be deceived.

A world without love,
total greed,
on earth.

Fear of living,
you let yourself be killed,
empty promises,
of injected lives.
Consumed souls,
where no one wins,
destructive
ambition.

They leave
without knowing
they are dying.

Because of the agendas,
those that deceive us,
with empty words,
from a few,
manipulation,
for all.
Agendas
of death,
total misery.

And life slips away,
needlessly,
souls filled with fear,
who buy everything.

Death takes hold,
of the world of shadows.
No one wants to recognize,
that the world is fading,
false truths,
for the end.

To the final abyss,
out of fear,
of living.

MIEDO A VIVIR


Miedo a morir,

tienes tanto miedo,

que te dejas engañar.

Mundo sin amor,

codicia total,

en la tierra.

Miedo a vivir,

te dejas matar,

vacías promesas,

de vidas inyectadas.

Almas consumidas,

donde nadie gana,

destructora

ambición.

Se van

sin saber,

que mueren.

Por las agendas,

esas que nos engañan,

con palabras vacías,

de unos pocos,

manipulación,

para todos,

Agendas,

de muerte,

miseria total.

Y la vida se va,

sin necesidad,

almas con miedo,

que compran todo.

La muerte se adueña,

del mundo de la tinieblas.

Nadie quiere reconocer,

que el mundo se va,

falsas verdades,

para el final.

Al abismo final,

por miedo,

a vivir.

21- VII-2025
In the streets of a city without sea,
sometimes, ghostly vessels appear,
moored to the streets on the asphalt.
Strange, astonishing presences,
those sailboats with their white canvases,
boats large and small, a thousand colors.
awaiting arrival at a better harbor.

Story of a dryland city,
with that Manzanares river, waterless,
with that river they dried up one day.
That city that is Madrid, gray,
amidst the dust and so much dirt,
in those streets where I wander,
boats on wheels, parked.

Vessels that once sailed,
waters of rivers, reservoirs, and seas.
While their owners dream
of happy hours embarked,
atop those hulking contraptions.

In the strange city, Madrid,
where everything is sometimes possible,
sometimes I walk beside sailboats,
like horses awaiting water.
In those streets, there are no pedestrians anymore,
where only the asphalt roars in summer.
While I melt in the July heat.
While I watch life pass and don't look back,
where nothing matters, because I am fungible,
among parked sailboats waiting to sail.

Between my seas of dreams and nightmares,
in that nightmare they call Madrid,
while I await better times.
Sometimes I see boats in the streets,
walking to go to the opera,
to go to the paradise of the theater.

BARCOS DE SECANO

En las calles, de una ciudad sin mar,

a veces, aparecen  fantasmales naves,

amarradas a las calles en el asfalto.

Extrañas presencias asombrosas,

esos veleros con sus blancas telas,

barcos y barquitos de mil colores.

en espera de llegar a mejor puerto.

Historia de una ciudad de secano,

con ese Manzanares sin aguas,

con ese río que secaron un día.

Esa ciudad que es Madrid, gris,

entre el polvo y tanta suciedad,

en esas calles donde me paseo,

barcos sobre ruedas aparcados.

Naves que surcaran alguna vez,

aguas de ríos, pantanos y mares.

Mientras sueñan sus propietarios,

con  horas felices  embarcados,

a lomos de esos armatrostes.

En  la ciudad extraña, Madrid,

donde todo es posible a veces,

a veces camino al lado de veleros,

como caballos que esperan aguas.

En esas calles no hay ya peatones,  

donde solo ruge el asfalto en verano.

Mientras me derrito en el calor de Julio.

Mientras veo pasar la vida y no miro atrás,

donde da igual todo, porque soy fungible,

entre veleros aparcados esperando navegar.

Entre mis mares de sueños y de pesadillas,

en esa pesadilla que llaman  Madrid,

mientras espero tiempos mejores.

A veces veo barcos por las calles,

caminando para ir a la ópera,

para ir al paraíso del teatro.

ADENDUM
One Poem, Two Versions


ADENDA

Un mismo poema en dos versiones
The Poem

"Life is the true poem"

July 18, 2025.

A gaze from the sixth sense,
to seek that poem, "The Poem."
That poem that is always there,
to dive into life searching.
Where life is the only poem,
that poem that holds everything.
Where everything is, to see,
to feel, that it unveils itself,
in pieces for life.
In pieces searching,
for that ideal poem.
Reflections of life,
that are just,
there in everything.
Unfurled,
pieces,
parts,
souls,
poet.
In that,
which is,
something,
more.
You,
and
...
My precious velvet donkey,
my dreamt plush toy, pure poetry,
a  cotton skin, so soft.
As tender as a warm cloud,
that dreamlike Platero, pure jet black,
as sweet as an angel's sky.
Oh, to have a Platero in my life,
to walk beside me in green meadows,
to mingle among wildflowers,
to lie down with me, to be my friend.
Oh, to have such a sweet little donkey in paradise,
all beauty and tenderness, love in its purest form,
to caress you and feed you,
ambrosia for my friend.
Together through the world of perfumed earth,
trotting in nature's heaven.
How I wish I could have held you
in my lap,
my little donkey,
together
in that world.
A gentle world,
where all is good,
in the world of my dreams,
where we are all so happy,
where that other Platero and I reside.

Mi precioso burrito de terciopelo,
mi peluche soñado, pura poesía,
piel de algodón, tan suave.
Tan tierno como una nube cálida,
ese soñado Platero, puro azabache,
tan dulce como el cielo de ángeles.
Quién tuviera un Platero en mi vida,
que me acompañara en verdes prados,
que se confundiera con flores silvestres,
que se recostara conmigo, que fuera mi amigo.
Quién tuviera un burrito, tan dulce, en el paraíso,
todo bello y tierno, el amor en estado puro,
para acariciarte, y darte de comer,
ambrosía para mi amigo.
Juntos por el mundo de la tierra perfumada,
trotando en ese cielo de la naturaleza.
Ojalá te hubiera podido recostar
conmigo en mi regazo,
con mi burrito,
juntos
en ese mundo.
Un mundo amable,
donde todo es bueno,
en el mundo de mis sueños,
donde todos somos tan felices,
donde vive ese otro Platero y yo.
