"quedemos" poems
I wanted to find something to bring back to life.
Lately, these stanzas have been on repeat.
My words: resurrected.
Stories engrave themselves in my synapses
A memory forms and then collapses
A Heart skips beats and then relaxes
Powerhouse of nerves in through the spine
Messages from hands moving to the mind
No rush, steady-paced climb
Following the crooked lines
Pulled apart, then pushed together
Overloaded with the
Doing and undoing tether
Smiles slowly building the road to better
Best medicine is the sound of laughter
The world spins, and spins faster
Without even a second thought
Of what happens after
Los secretos, el momento,
Las caras que vemos
Pero aqui, en sonrisas,
Aqui nos quedemos
En los ojos siempre,
Facil nos perdemos
Cada maravilla es diferente que vemos
Es que las cosas no son tan complicadas
La vida esta llena de cosas delicadas
Pero es una lucha, ya sabes eso
Toma un corazon fuerte en el pecho
Exposure, exposure, to the other moving closer
Admiration reaching and pulling voices over
Of passion, and into the seas of liberation
Speaking a language with no available translation
Rules broken, laws and regulations
Systematic arrangements of our kings and queens
In different moments, places,
Different things
But the beauty is more than the perfection
Or imperfection in the seams
Lining the different parts of la vita bella
Every part of the whole of what we fiend
Filling the empty spaces sitting vacant in between
From past, told and untold dreams
The path in life winds and turns
Full of chances and opportunities to get burned
Full of the learned and unlearned
Growing pensive,
Minds fill with the incentive
To rise above,
Intentionally connected

Me preocupa que de nada haya servido. ¡Tanto!
Que nuestros gigantes sean molinos de viento,
que el llanto se olvide de darnos consuelo,
que el dolor haya sido por montañas
y la satisfacción un mero granito de mostaza.
Que el enemigo sea uno mismo,
el aliado uno mismo,
el juez, el culpable, el vencedor y el perdedor, uno mismo.
Que solo quedemos con los bolsillos llenos de palmaditas en la espalda
y nadie nos reciba en la línea de llegada.

Flores crecen en nuestro cielo, donde el amor baila a la luz de la luna de los sueños. Mi querida, besa la noche nuestra despedida para despertar la llama del mañana y sanar a los vivos cuando nos quedemos dormidos.
