"maestros" poems
Pi, at the end of its endless decimals' grandeur,
meets a human being—who holds a mirror!
Until now, the number, knowing only sway,
has been lost in discovery’s polished way.
No more: it begins—on a human—in front of its eye.
Patterns and unique precision, patternless waves,
new math tides soar, pivot at the cosmos' height,
only to bag the ultimate truth:
Fathima—the first spiritual woman—mooned there first!
Fathima steps forward where nature falls behind,
across the dead end, the irrational chasm she strides.
For the cosmos' deep mind, Earth, the ocean is but a drop;
the rope to the top is the lead—the feminine Fathima’s lock!
Raw Fathima moves; in shadow, nature follows,
clustering atoms span between the two,
only to witness her encrypted, secured fashion—
intact, uncharted, yet fully functioning,
in Makkah and Medina, while she lived.
The red fairies at midday’s spot-on,
the black swans arching rainbows in wonder—
marvel how Fathima deduces, straw by straw,
the maestros’ dream of ascension,
potion-polished, taking Ma pauses in liminal crescendos,
between past and future, here and hereafter—a circular duo.
Limning out chiaroscuro in light and shadow—
nothing like it exists, in plain sight or the world in toto!
Rainbows shaded in, sparking out,
the scent of roses in her veiled black hair:
the cosmos anew glinting off her edge,
deeper quintessence than dark matter!
The blueprint, the intelligent pre-design, rests in her elements.
The breakthrough exponent—hidden in her eyes.
Yet beyond the masses’ gaze,
she remains Zahra—light upon the original way.
Truly, only one feminine form has reached across
the other end of the cosmos' endless highway,
zooming past nature’s hidden gems—the irrational Pi,
the complex chasm—a mathematical goldmine.
Beyond the masses’ eyes and their painted canvases,
shine the daylight and the glowing fireflies of the night.
Viva Mankind! Fathima is the Moon at the highest high!

Forged by Hephaestus himself, tempered in Satan's heart.
It moves too fast for the normal eye to see,
But leaves traces of moon glinted footsteps in the fissure of heaven's breath.
In the harmonic tune of clashing instruments, an orchestrated chaos is present.
The chord from the bowstring beats time on wooden shields.
To this, their blade waltz continues.
Their cadence unmatched by surrounding performers,
The maestros continue their viperous style.
Just as a painter cannot take away a stroke of the brush,
A swordsman cannot take away a stroke of the blade.

The Coronation.
Weightless stars drop silently like petals
From a distant place way up far beyond the night sky.
Winter flowers blossom and fly away
Landing like moths on the night, turning to petals, then rain.
To shower you in love over and over again on this majestic day.
Distant orchestras come together in a cyclonic, deafening crescendo
Commanded by maestros flailing wands from the peaks of the highest mountains.
Roll great drums! Make music for my Queen violins and cellos!
Ring through valleys and across deserts
Sweep up all the world’s musicians along the way!
Fireworks ignite the darkness with day.
Rainbows burst, more stars, come petals
Saturate you in light.
And shower you with my love on this,
The day of your Coronation.
Great Gods have come to celebrate
Smiling down they send their angels
To drench your glowing torso in rose petals
And kiss you gently as they settle,
While my tied hands yearn to give you a fond caress.
Every creature in the universe has attended the grandest ceremony in time.
Each gleefully holding a single rose petal
To weave into your hair.
My bound arms reach across continents carried like breath on the wind
To deliver you my heart.
Close your fist and make a wish
What would your soul like to find inside?
True loves lay sleeping snuggled together on the bed of the universe.
Calm is the Queen
With her single red rose.
……………………………………………………
Sun rises and all the petals have transformed into snow.
Still soft, still comforting.
But with an eerie emptiness of a dream that has yet to be told.
Joy is frozen in our hearts
For Love eternal was denied the throne this time.
Remember my sweet darling
You are now my Queen of Roses.
And in a palace somewhere,
As far away as near
I am your King.

Esperaba encontrar en ti
Tantas cosas;
Esperaba encontrar al fin
Con quien compartir
Besos y caricias,
Tristezas de media noche,
Horas de hacer nada.
Esperaba intercambiar
Versos de los maestros,
Benedetti, Neruda, Sabines,
Pasar noches escuchándote
Recitar los nombres de las estrellas,
De las ciudades
Visitadas solo en viajes repentinos
Del corazón.
Esperaba contar contigo,
Contar regresivamente un nuevo año,
Contar mitos y cuentos,
Contar hasta mil los sueños
Que crearíamos juntos.
Esperaba leer mil libros,
Repitiendote en voz alta
Alguna frase curiosa,
Tal vez una que comparara
A la mujer a clavel
O el amor a la lluvia,
Y dirías
"como comprendes?
la mujer no se marchita,
la lluvia no moja,
como las ganas de dar un beso".
Y olvidaríamos
La absurda insistencia
De componer palabras
Para explicar
Algo que no tiene explicación.
Esperaba despertar
A medio día
Un sábado contigo,
Probar café en tus labios,
Y acordarnos de la noche anterior,
Sonriendo y sonrojando.
Esperaba no tener que esperar mas.

Drums beat the endless chords
Of something that looks like an agony,
A vague aftermath of a smoky carcass.
The crowd remained enthralled or detached.
In excitement, in boredom and in unison.
They seemed to know the routine of celebration,
Of enjoyment,
Of the rejoice.
But still not eat at it,
into themselves.
They seemed to even echo their claps and nods so parallel,
To the rhythm,
That they all became another maestro
The deaf Beethovens.
While the elephant,
danced.
And sang.
In a pristine celebration only known to him.
Like the seducing dance of the King Cobra,
In the Jungles of a drenched Wayanad.
Green,
Yet so Aroused and red.
While nature became its charmer,
She,
the nature,
Juggled with the soul, vigour and energy of the King.
In one plate,
altogether,
The art,
The music,
And the rhythm became
The dirge of a new cemetery
of an old heaven.

Existe una melancolía hermosa y dolorosa en la idea de lo que pudo ser y no fue, en esos hubieras sueños perdidos en el aire, dulce espacio de la imaginación de vidas alternativas y metas truncadas.
2020 No te voy a poder olvidar
llegaste a crear espacios en mi, vacíos que me hicieron ver mi oscuridad
llegaste a encerrarme en mi en mi mente, en mis demonios, me diste espejos de amor y espejos de dolor, me entregaste a los maestros correctos en los momentos indicados.
me recordaste que en el pasado existe la puerta de mi infancia, mi refugio un lugar en honor al buen trabajo de mis papas, mis hermanos, mi familia.
2020 llegaste a romperme como hace tiempo no me rompia la vida, llegaste a abrirme para derramar agradecimiento
2020 me enseñaste a soltar expectativas de un futuro, a fluir y ver cada día como una nueva aventura, a agradecer esta broma de la vida con respeto y con risas surfeando el sufrimiento.
este año llegó a enseñArme a tener amor propio y cuidarme, a conocer mis límites y reconocer mis demonios ponerles nombre sentarme a solas con ellos a tomar té, a veces vino, a veces whisky, A decir no me juzgo y no espero nada de ti, no me juzgues que esto es lo que ahi y me ha costado a:os todo lo que ves, todo lo que en mi he construido para mi no para ti ni para nadie que no llegue a este mundo a llenar las expectativas de nadie a quitar el ego y ser parte de algo más grande, a confiar en mí y el universo, sabes este 2020 es un aprendizaje de saber fluir.
A vomitar mis miedos, llorar mis traumas y pintar mis dolores. A ser un perfecto ser imperfecto, sin esperar más ni menos de mi ni de nadie, a tomar las cosas como son, y no como quisiera que fueran
este año aprendí la diferencia entre un amigo y un conocido, un abrazo a un saludo a distancia, una llamada, este a;o me enseñaste a no tener miedo a estar sola y en soledad gozar el vacío de mi ser, que si suelto mejores cosas llegan y si no llegan al menos me tengo a mi y eso de menos no tiene nada.
Este año aprendí que la paz mental, que el centro interior no se deja por nada ni por nadie, aprendi una leccion que no voy a olvidar, prefiero vivir en armonía sin estar despertando mis heridas y gozando aunque no todo este como “ debería de ser”
Aprendí a valorar la fragilidad de tocar la mano de un extra:o, toser en publico, compartir una cerveza, escuchar una multitud, ir a un concierto, besarme con extraños, hacer nuevos amigos, bailar en la multitud, ver a los ancianos sin miedo a enfermarnos
2020 has sido extrañamente uno de los años de más sanacion, quien diría que ocupaba una pandemia mundial para perderme y volverme a encontrar

*my sweet never-cloying love
you of the softness of a dove
over me hover with a promise
of things that dissipate like a trance
flap your wings in a cryptic dance
be the butterfly that's elusive; ever
in silent song, light as a breeze
whose depths of emotion
no maestros can ever capture
unless they be of the motion of creation
with motion station and station motion*

Bacardí , ooh la-la (yuppie
kicked in the shins))
half of my head is in Bacardí , ooh-la-la (
new york yuppie kicked in the shins))
she took me back to Finca Vigia , la-la-la
ooh, but my head is in content
workings of a message in a bottle
(without, the Police)...
there's something about her pride
on mixing cola and lime... (ooh la-la)
Bacardí, ooh la-la (new yorker yuppie
kicked in the shins)
she didn't walk up to me with 'you "need" a drink?'
(like that Frank Sinatra quote
about a day well spent and feeling
even better after a martini)...
(when she came in the room
i forgot i was sleeping)
she said there's a lot of boys she can do with (ooh)
(but i can't without you)
i knew she forgot in a minute
about the ginger Scotch lass
ms. amber...
(that summer night that turned to
be every night of the entire year from then
on in)
and mama says i'm a drunk...
but she doesn't mind a drunk that
steps up to do the dishes, cook...
and washes the toilet with bleach...
after telling her to the question:
why are you sighing, puffing like
a red-riding hood like that?
eased up?
what from?
took a **** like a german zeppelin
just dropped a bomb on London
during the WWI night raid...
**** me... funk! **** bosh!
sank like a meteor or a grenade
into the water...
but **** me, you ever read
the mini story on these bottles?
ha ha... the Cubans call
the distillers... maestros!
it's like symphony for them!
de ron Bacardí... ahem...
maestro de ron Bacardí!
one night,
i'm allowed that...
given that
i already know with tender meat poetry...
like you do with tender meat in general...
you tenderize it.

In view of others,
I am of little consequence.
It is as though I am
a dandelion seed,
left to the whim of a storm,
or a bleeding lamb
encircled by a pack of
prowling wolves.
I can be torn apart easily,
flesh from bone,
soul from body,
for practically free.
The smallest cuts would easily
bleed me for all I have.
My heart is crushed by the simplest things,
just as I can be crushed
by the simplest of men!
One word, that is all I need,
for a sleepless night.
My imagination is wild,
and needlessly cruel.
In my own head,
I've imagined different ways that
I will be humiliated, hurt and killed!
At night, my insecurities run amok
and race through my head
with an incessant screeching,
carving into the inside of my skull
new ideas, new doubts about myself
which, by daybreak,
I learn are actually true!
Ha, it's ******* pathetic!
They are wolves!
And I am to be slaughtered!
Almost as if it's for show.
It happens daily.
I wonder at this point
is there any limit to my embarrassment?
Won't someone deliver me from my own shortcomings
and faults?
I wait, but all that come are
wolves,
tearing away at me, once again,
for another night!
Oh, how I tire of it!
I know I am inadequate,
of little physical worth,
but must they be so brazen about it?
I wish to be alone sometimes,
but I am equally terrible company.
The sobbing,
the rambling,
I am a boring person
who has earned his ridicule!
Sometimes, in retaliation,
I try to cast away the ghosts
by writing poetry.
But even I struggle to say it is worth reading!
A disgrace to the art, if I do say so myself.
But don't get me wrong,
it is not nothing to be called a disgrace,
even terribleness must have its maestros.
Perhaps, I am one!
I have found my place then!
In the *******
Ha. Ha. Ha.
The longevity of my existence
is seemingly at the mercy of others.
How little would it take it to
forget someone like me?
If it is wished,
I can be snuffed out,
put out
like embers
and turned into ash,
it would be so easy,
they could do it
without even knowing.
Who will remember me then?
And what will they remember?
Someone who could be stamped into the dirt
and disintegrate, like crumbs of refuse.
Perhaps it would be more merciful
to forget me than
to be remembered as that!
When my feelings are hurt, I always retreat.
And where do I retreat?
Of course, it is here,
into poetry,
where I can trade shame
for mediocrity,
where I can pretend that
I am above it all
because I write a little bit
of **** prose,
some garbage that equates to
nothing more than
whimpering.
You sometimes have to laugh at yourself.
But one day,
I will be better.
The wolves will still
feed upon me.
But I will be better.

empezó a llover vacas
y en vista de la situación reinante en el país
los estudiantes de agronomía sembraron desconcierto
los profesores de ingeniería proclamaron su virginidad
los bedeles de filosofía aceitaron las grampas de la razón intelectual
los maestros de matemáticas verificaron llorando el dos más dos
los alumnos de lenguaje inventaron buenas malas palabras
esto ocurrió al mismo tiempo
un oleaje de nostalgia invadía las camas del país
y las parejas entre sí se miraban como desconocidos
y el crepúsculo era servido en el almuerzo por padres y madres
y el dolor o la pena iba vistiendo lentamente a los chiquitines
y a unos se les caía el pecho y la espalda a otros y nada a los demás
y a Dios lo encontraron muerto varias veces
y los viejos volaban por el aire agarrados a sus testículos resecos
y las viejas lanzaban exclamaciones y sentían puntadas en la memoria o el olvido según
y varios perros asentían y brindaban con armenio coñac
y a un hombre lo encontraron muerto varias veces
junto a un viernes de carnaval arrancado del carnaval
bajo una invasión de insultos otoñales
o sobre elefantes azules parados en la mejilla de Mr. Hollow
o alrededor de alondras en dulce desafío vocal con el verano
encontraron muerto a ese hombre
con las manos abiertamente grises
y las caderas desordenadas por los sucesos de Chicago
un resto de viento en la garganta
25 centavos de dólar en el bolsillo y su águila quieta
con las plumas mojadas por la lluvia infernal
¡ah queridos!
¡esa lluvia llovió años y años sobre el pavimento de Hereby Street
sin borrar la más mínima huella de lo acontecido!
¡sin mojar ninguna de las humillaciones ni uno solo de los miedos
de ese hombre con las caderas revueltas tiradas en la calle
tarde para que sus terrores puedan mezclarse con el agua y pudrirse y terminar!
así murió parsifal hoolig
cerró los ojos silenciosos
conservó la costumbre de no protestar
fue un difunto valiente
y aunque no tuvo necrológica en el New York Times ni el Chicago Tribune se ocupó de él
no se quejó cuando lo recogieron en un camión del servicio municipal
a él y a su aspecto melancólico
y si alguno supone que esto es triste
si alguno va a pararse a decir que esto es triste
sepa que esto es exactamente lo que pasó
que ninguna otra cosa pasó sino esto
bajo este cielo o bóveda celeste

True creativity, like lunar dust
reflects Creative design
In truth, we don't create at all
At best we just manipulate
content which already exists
into a form we love to claim as our own
yet nothing is new under the sun
Even maestros can't compose their dreams
Consciousness shuts down during REM
and yet great content is downloaded
freely in the form we call dreams
Even lucid dreamers can only observe;
until, upon waking, they're free to upload
visions to the dimension we call time
Only one's God-given spirit can connect
to images from His universal database
The Poet who wrote our DNA song
gave us brains to filter and sift
Imagine the computer that scans
six billion souls a day, keeps them
in sequence and knows each by name
By far the most fulfilled verse springs
from allowing Him to be in charge
so out-source it back to the Source,
before the hacker of **********
persuades you to harvest glory
and reach, like him, for the Highest Place

The landscape blurs often
as poets go about their business
crafting metaphors of unexpected delight
in forests of jangled words and visuals
unable to contain their excitement
at having conquered that crystallised
moment of love, hate and everything else
in a frozen sliver of time
inescapable from their minds excursion
into unknown unshaped lands.
Not all succeed in this endeavour
most try, few unable
to melt the metal in a crucible of colour
sound, taste or touch, to smell
emphasis and cocktail curiosity
bringing the best to the fore.
The newcomers tremble at the awe
of maestros watching their work
and dissolve in disasters.
There is the odd one that unknowingly
write splendid poetry
and when noticed and heaped with praise
often springboard into showcasing talent.
Reading the works of the masters
is always good. If they think it
is good then it must be good.
So many footsteps to follow and learn.

No con altos ejemplos se modela
la perfección del alma, ni el tesoro
de un buen libro nos dona el del decoro
que a las bajas acciones se rebela.
La enseñanza no es feudo de la escuela,
que es la necesidad lección de oro,
y por impulso nato rompe en lloro
el niño, nada el pez y el ave vuela.
Nace la previsión, de lo imprevisto,
pero no la virtud con ir al templo,
ni término el saber da a nuestras dudas;
y, si de algo valiera el buen ejemplo,
¿se explica que el discípulo de un Cristo
Maestro de maestros, fuera un Judas?

*after the lasses have retired for the night
and after the village rascals have gone too
you can hear the sounds of silence ebbing
after the shimmering silvery moon has risen
and after the shy stars have twinkled their best
you can see articulate shapes dance the night away
after the village dogs have stopped their yelping
and after the hyenas have begun their mirthless laughs
you can feel the fingers of fear clutch at your timid heart
after the moonlight reveries have receded everywhere
and after all the good people of this world have shut their doors
you can be silent witnesses to a dance of the shadows
after the morning star has begun to beckon from its perch
and after some of the dancing shapes have thinned out
there's a place in your heart where the memories never fade
this empty arena where the maestros showed their mettle
and these hollow hills that echoed their rustic music
are all that's left after the silhouettes dissipate and are gone
in stupefied wonder i ask: is life but a walking, dancing mist
and the sightless but visioned shadows leer at me in sordid glee
they say life has always been this heaving and howling*

Where can I run
To escape the reality
Of my first break-up?
Where can I hide
To dodge those
That are after directing my life?
These evil maestros
Don’t know how to let an instrument
Ring out in its own voice.
Can my hands
Cover the Medusa eyes
That hiss in circulation
Until I tell my life plans?
Sometimes I wish the night would never end,
Not so I can rest,
But I can wander without fearing the terror
Of not knowing what’s around me.
I wish I could become a virtual character,
Gaining hopping abilities,
And being able to lurk on rural ground
As I admire the brilliance
Of the light pollution
From nearby facilities.
I wish I could just flee
The amateur terror others cannot see or feel.
I’m not talking societal threats or actions,
But what I see all too often
Is what chokes my growth
And ability to move on.
The living presence of my past
Still has me in a gridlock
That I wrestle with all day
Even though my weakness defeats me every time.
Fine, here’s my privacy and dignity,
Just leave me and my nocturnal silhouette
To intimately caress each other,
Rumba, tango, freely through the darkness,
The shadows, the black light
Which guides me but trips you.

Oppressive silence
Brings me to my knees;
Embracing the hopeless despair
That accompanies the same quiet
That comes before calamity strikes-
Before the storm touches down over land;
Before all hell breaks loose.
This forbidden orchestra
Of bodiless volume,
Plucks invisible strings
of the Fates, intertwined
To tug at my faithless heart
As I survey the scorched earth below.
How hollow it all seems now;
These trumpets of victory
Sounding choked and strained
Cracking under the weight of their lies,
Bursting the brass
as they bugle out a call to rebel-
For who could call this bitter resolution a victory?
Who could name it clean,
Justified,
When all but the truly frightened
succumb to this heinous masterpiece
Why think to make a new tune,
It asks us;
Why make a new composition,
When the old one will suffice?
Rolling over and over again,
Into new hands with the same minds,
The cycle begins again;
Exchanging one facade for another,
As the musicians warm up,
Ready to play the music that we've always danced to;
Mere puppets to the Maestros
That conduct and direct
Our shattered hopes and dreams.
Shall we not contradict
The balance of power,
Or else leave it to sit in the hands of fools and tyrants?
Once composed,
It can still be unwritten,
Unlearned;
A performance piece we won't allow any longer,
A dying art that deserves the dust that we've crawled from.
We are not pawns in a chord that will not harmonize with us;
We are not weak, shallow things that crawl
beneath the feet of these giants;
We are music itself,
A ballad of shared ideals,
A melody of minds,
unsullied by the temptation of power,
Our discordant notes falling away as we remember our worth in this world.
Like a crescendo,
We can join,
We can rise to change the music,
Rippling and reverberating across this vast auditorium-
For the whole world is our stage,
Our audience;
And they are looking to us,
To be better than what we've known before.
I can hear the beginning notes,
Wavering at first,
Whistled on lips in back alleys
Whispered on the streets,
In our hearts-
Calling to us,
Pleading with us to change the outcome this time,
Asking us the only question that matters :
Will you stand to ovation?
Or will you fall to devotion?

It's late, and lost thoughts, still running,
Litter their station, these big derailed-trains,
That follow no track, but form a blank stave
To the score of night's wake, and the steady refrains
Of a maestros conduction, 'Allegro! Dawn!'
Minutes and hours pass by like still moments
my eyes still awake in their half/conscious torment
On this medium on which I scribble and write,
These words, quick to mind and quicker to leave
Before making it onto a sheet, still white.
As one becomes two and time swiftly moves,
I sit--still in waiting, attempting to soothe,
Aches of the heart and a throbbing like violence,
the remnants of day, they crash and percuss
and remind me of nights spent lost to the silence.
--
At last there is peace, a perfect refrain,
Thoughts come to a standstill, in tireless brain,
as words flow like water, a oneness with pen,
the fray has receded, and harmony found
within the last hour, I have found you -
My zen.

Caronte: yo seré un escándalo en tu barca.
Mientras las otras sombras recen, giman o lloren,
Y bajo tus miradas de siniestro patriarca
Las tímidas y tristes, en bajo acento, oren,
Yo iré como una alondra cantando por el río
Y llevaré a tu barca mi perfume salvaje,
E irradiaré en las ondas del arroyo sombrío
Como una azul linterna que alumbrara en el viaje.
Por más que tú no quieras, por más guiños siniestros
Que me hagan tus dos ojos, en el terror maestros,
Caronte, yo en tu barca seré como un escándalo.
Y extenuada de sombra, de valor y de frío,
Cuando quieras dejarme a la orilla del río
Me bajarán tus brazos cual conquista de vándalo.

Pi, at the end of its endless decimals' grandeur,
meets a human being—who holds a mirror!
Until now, the number, knowing only sway,
has been lost in discovery’s polished way.
No more: it begins—on a human—in front of its eye.
Patterns and unique precision, patternless waves,
new math tides soar, pivot at the cosmos' height,
only to bag the ultimate truth:
Fathima—the first spiritual woman—mooned there first!
Fathima steps forward where nature falls behind,
across the dead end, the irrational chasm she strides.
For the cosmos' deep mind, Earth, the ocean is but a drop;
the rope to the top is the lead—the feminine Fathima’s lock!
Raw Fathima moves; in shadow, nature follows,
clustering atoms span between the two,
only to witness her encrypted, secured fashion—
intact, uncharted, yet fully functioning,
in Makkah and Medina, while she lived.
The red fairies at midday’s spot-on,
the black swans arching rainbows in wonder—
marvel how Fathima deduces, straw by straw,
the maestros’ dream of ascension,
potion-polished, taking Ma pauses in liminal crescendos,
between past and future, here and hereafter—a circular duo.
Limning out chiaroscuro in light and shadow—
nothing like it exists, in plain sight or the world in toto!
Rainbows shaded in, sparking out,
the scent of roses in her veiled black hair:
the cosmos anew glinting off her edge,
deeper quintessence than dark matter!
The blueprint, the intelligent pre-design, rests in her elements.
The breakthrough exponent—hidden in her eyes.
Yet beyond the masses’ gaze,
she remains Zahra—light upon the original way.
Truly, only one feminine form has reached across
the other end of the cosmos' endless highway,
zooming past nature’s hidden gems—the irrational Pi,
the complex chasm—a mathematical goldmine.
Beyond the masses’ eyes and their painted canvases,
shine the daylight and the glowing fireflies of the night.
Viva Mankind! Fathima is the Moon at the highest high!

«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice
y más: esos versos no han de servirle para
que peones maestros hacheros vivan mejor
coman mejor o él mismo coma viva mejor
ni para enamorar a una le servirán
no ganará plata con ellos
no entrará al cine gratis con ellos
no le **** ropa por ellos
no conseguirá tabaco o vino por ellos
ni papagayos ni bufandas ni barcos
ni toros ni paraguas conseguirá por ellos
si por ellos fuera la lluvia lo mojará
no alcanzará perdón o gracia por ellos

Músico llanto en lágrimas sonoras
Llora Monte doblado en cueva fría;
Y destilando líquida armonía,
Hace las peñas cítaras canoras.Ameno y escondido a todas horas,
En mucha sombra alberga poco día;
No admite su silencio compañía,
Sólo a ti, Solitario, cuando lloras.Son tu nombre, color y voz doliente
Señas más que de pájaro de amante;
Puede aprender dolor de ti un ausente.Estudia en tu lamento y tu semblante
Gemidos este monte y esta fuente,
Y tienes mi dolor por estudiante.

Music is a wonderful healer
It has soothed many a troubled soul
And cheered up many a depressed soul
There is something in music
That endears itself, to one and all
Something irresistible, so much so
That it feels, frankly divine
Something that distinguishes it
From all other forms of art
There is no greater joy
Than watching a master musician at work
Maestros are one of a kind
Around them, is an aura so powerful
That nothing can stop them
From weaving their magic
Slowly, but surely
And leaving us spellbound
At the sheer symmetry of it all
And we cannot speak about maestros
Without speaking about Harris Jayaraj
His music takes us into a whole new world
A world full of hope
A world full of infinite possibilities
And most importantly
A world where we feel liberated
Whether it be the softness of the instruments
Or the extremely catchy tunes
Or the clever choice of singers
There is no doubt
That his music has cast a spell on us all
Of course, there are haters
Some of whom call him a copycat
However, actions speak louder than words
From Minnale to Kaakha Kaakha
From Ghajini to Unnale Unnale
From Vaaranam Aayiram to Ko
From Nanban to Anegan
From Yennai Arindhaal to Kaappaan
Harris has delivered hits time and again
His records speak for themselves
And what's more
We can love or hate Harris
But we can't deny
That his music affects us all
For better or for worse

Mi recuerdo de varias lunas, de varios ayeres
Donde las aulas eran cunas y los maestros las mujeres
Promesas de vida que presumían permanencia, la vida en ciencia
Obstinadamente forjado, añicos hice creencia tras vivencia
Aquellos años donde la vida era sencilla y sin penas a pagar
Crecer fue caminar en la orilla, cenas con agua de mar
Incongruentes lecciones, incoherentes pensamientos
En cuantas secciones fallar, inherentes lamentos
Me busco para al fin nacer y darme definición
Mi plena consciencia puesta en este mundo
Tuve que creer y luego no, esa fue la elección
No quiero ser guiado más, ni un segundo
