You and me
we'll paint the world with
shades of green
of yellow-pink
in the morning light 'til it goes
back to violet shades of night

Close our eyes
watch our brushes go
like Van Gogh, paint the starry night
like Monet, paint the lilies in
shades of mint and baby blue, oh
like your eyes, my love, like your eyes

You and me
we'll watch the world go
from shades of gray to
strokes of crimson darlin'
Don't you worry it'll dry by morning
just close your eyes and dream

Tick tock in my pocket like
Dalí by the Spanish sea
imaginativos como niños
like Picasso on the walls of white
red-orange squares, oh sweet delight

You and me
we'll watch the world go
You and me
we'll guide our spirits home
close our eyes
shades of green
you and me
let's dream.

Alma borracha
Día lluvioso
Mundo borroso
Conciencia escondida
Rodillas temblando
Me acuerdo de ti.
Y en aquel día
Que te perdi.
¿Por que te perdi?

Corazón palpitando
Labios saboreando
Todo confuso
Noches perdidas
Enloquecidos los dias
Me acuerdo de ti.

Alma borracha,
Me acuerdo de ti, de ti de ti
Alma borracha
Me acuerdo de ti, de ti de ti

Pies tropezando
Cuerpo rogando
Mariposas naciendo
Agua cayendo
Mente alucinando
Me acuerdo de ti.

Alma borracha,
Me acuerdo de ti, de ti de ti
Alma borracha
Me acuerdo de ti, de ti de ti
Y en aquel día
Que te perdi.
¿Por que te perdi?

Una y otra vez,
Mi percepción falló.
Las opiniones que antes tuve,
Se escondieron.
Tu voz ganó.

¿Qué será del mañana
y dónde guardo el ayer?
La mente da vueltas
Intentando comprender.
Si en verdad eran mentiras,
¿Entonces, a quién logré conocer?

Eras tú quien me tocaba con placer,
¿Eras tú quien amanecía en mi piel?
Eras tú quien prometía eternidad,
¿O sólo estabas jugando con mi debilidad?
Si todo era una mentira,
¿Entonces, a quién logré conocer?

Una y otra vez,
El corazón me falló.
Las morales que antes tuve,
Me dijeron adiós,
Tu risa ganó.

Yo aquí con más ganas de ti,
Tú allá como un mago
Haciendo desaparecer todo de mí.
Yo aquí escribiendo la historia sobre este papel,
Tú allá con tijeras, escondiendo el ayer.
¿A quién logré conocer?

Una y otra vez,
Me doy cuenta muy tarde
Que fue mi pura ignorancia,
A la quien logré conocer.

It was dark. Dusty. Particles floated and danced in the air. I walked through a dark and infinite tunnel. The walls were a grey colour, grungy and worn. Then, I saw him.

He saw me.

We looked into each others eyes, as a dark blue light gleamed from his to mine. He walked towards me as I walked towards him. We both paused when we were about a foot apart. We stood there, face to face, without even a hint or glimmer of movement. I wanted to hold him. To finally touch him - the only thing my body yearned for and had been yearning for since our first encounter. My blood rushed. My legs ached. My beating heart echoed in the silence.

Suddenly, I realized that I was in a dream. A flood of emotion drowned my every thought, my every nerve. I felt that he knew he was dreaming, too. That our minds somehow crossed in this surreal, subconscious world.

We stepped closer to one another. Our lips touched. Every feeling, every fluid, every emotion wrapped inside my physical body, melted. He kissed my neck. I kissed his. His embrace was warm, his embrace was...real.

I have to relieve myself
before I see you
If not, I'd devour you
And I don't know how
you'd feel about that

It is a relief to know
that you see me as a
spirit whole, and not
a whole body

But I'll relieve myself
or else I'll devour
you whole - spirit and body.

Everywhere I go, you follow
every step I take, you're there
oh, your ghost has left me hollow
faded moments
fill the air

You're haunting me
keeping me awake from my dreams
take away the pain and
let me sleep
you're haunting me
you're haunting me
you're haunting me

The full moon shines at our love story
then it dies at our last breath
and now in darkness
I live howling
like the wolves outside
my room

You're haunting me
keeping me awake from my dreams
take away the pain and
let me sleep
you're haunting me
you're haunting me
you're haunting me
please leave

I wanna fly
I wanna roam
I wanna go
where no one's ever been
been before
picture the sky
in ribbons and pearls
climb every mountaintop
to count the stars
one
by one

But you're haunting me
you're haunting me
please
let me be
let  me sleep
let me dream
let me be
in peace

Everywhere I go, you follow
every step I take, you're there.
These are actually lyrics to a song I wrote. To hear some of my music, go to YouTube and type in Zara Sky. I would love for you all to share your thoughts.

There once was a girl who fought against my will to feel.
Her cold winds brushed away my soul and
Stole away my love

Her only friend, his name was Fear, hid beneath forgotten tears,
When it struck the hour to love, he
Stopped the seconds in cold blood

A constant battle, crimson saddle
Living in my depths
A burning little, tainted tassel
Breathing in my depths
In my depths

I promise to kiss you
in the rain, as we dance
drenched in a million tears
from the skies above, as
the wind wraps a cocoon
around our wet bodies
nothing will stop us

I promise to kiss you
in a canopy wrapped
in white cotton sheets
by a timid, secluded sea
smell the coconut trees
******* honey lips
nothing will stop us

I promise to kiss you
in a field of stars, as
horses echo just over
the river bend as I
bend my body, and
caress each freckle, each
curve painted on your neck
nothing will stop us

I wish I wore white
Said the maiden in red
As the children in bed
Wished for more light

As a tear fell down my cheek
And landed on your spine
You caught it with your lips
As they softy moved in time:

"My love, my only wish tonight,
Is that you love yourself so that
You may love me
As I love you."

And all the while
This stained heart
Wishes still
That it wore white.

I didn't think it would affect me this way
To see her arm wrapped around your neck
It's been a while since we last met
But you're still laced around
My finger tips

I'm sure her lips, sweeter to taste
Her hair a little longer
I should have known, she's half your age
Precisely how you like it

I heard from you today
Small talk starting with how are you's
And ending with take care's
But you were never there, not really
You may have cared, though loosely

After all, I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
Maybe if
I kneel to the sky
Replay it in my mind
There will be some truth behind
I wish you well
I wish you well.

The more you distanced yourself
The more I yearned to be close
The more you silenced yourself
The more my twisted heart spoke

I turned each simple kiss
Into an act of love
When all you meant for it
Was just a simple kiss

And so I wept
As you left
Me with this

It was not my intention to
Make you suffer in silence
And the violence in my heart
For causing such madness
When all that you've shown me
Is nothing but kindness
Nothing but kindness.

Me dice
Un pedazo mio quiere ser parte de tus deseos,
El otro reúsa participar en tus acarreos.
Como esa increible persona que hay en ti
Me reusó a quedarme con la mitad de tu vivir

Le digo
La tempestad en el aire respira,
Nublando mis pasos hacia ti.
Hacia la otra mitad de mi.

Mi voz ya no te toca, es mas, te corta
Pedazo por pedazo
Mi sol ya no te brilla, es mas, te enfria
Poco a poco

La tempestad en el aire me grita
Nublando mi alma hacia el quererte a ti
Hacia la otra mitad de mi

Me ruega
Mientras buscas sin encontrar
Mientras caminas sin llegar
Mientras tratas de hablar
Mientras te pones a anhelar

Te olvidas de lo mas importante
Te aferras de lo abundante
Te encerras en tu propio mundo
Te olvidas de lo profundo

Eres lo que siempre quiero
Pero muchas veces no prefiero
No porque tu voz corta
Sino porque tu silencio importa
No porque tu sol no brille
Sino porque tu egoísmo acuchille

Acá seguiré añorando
Y quien sabe, olvidando
Mientras buscando una razon
Te mantengo en mi corazón.

Yo suspiro
Se que el tiempo se me acabará
Como un sueño asesinado por la realidad
La realidad en la cual tu ya no estas
Pero me falta todavia vivir
Me falta todavia soñar, cantar y volar
Me falta todavia saltar, caer y luchar
Aunque en mi dia final, sin calma,
Me faltarás
Tu.

Eres mi rosa prohibida
Siempre te amare
Tus espinas me gritan
El dolor que sentiré

Y aunque mis manos sangran
Como el rojo de tu piel
Eres mi rosa hermosa
Y siempre te amare
Zara Sky Feb 2012
I remember that night
cold, December starless night
not one tear fell from
your eye
and if it did
if it did
oh what a lie
what a lie
Zara Sky Mar 2012
No se de que manera decirte lo que siento
Tal vez no tenga la fuerza, tal vez no pueda
Por eso ahora en silencio te escribo
Quiero que sepas lo que mi alma piensa
Aunque tengo miedo, te escribo
En silencio te lo digo

Y en silencio dejo que mis
Sentimientos te griten al oido,
Que mi silencio te suzurre un canto escondido
Aunque no te hable sientas que me muero
Por estar a tu lado
Ser tu fiel confidente cuando necesites
Que te escuchen de repente.

Quiero que me escuches
Que escuches el temblor que vive adentro
El temor de mi cordero

Quiero que me escuches
Que escuches mis pensamientos latientes
Los bailarines de mi mente

Yo te puedo amar, amar
Yo te puedo amar, amar sin hablar

Mis sentimientos más profundos
En silencio se revelaran.
Zara Sky Feb 2012
Stop the screaming in your head
I've told you, time and time again

Through my love, and
Through it all
Beyond all shadows
Above all doubt

Stop the bleeding in your heart
You were born in my eyes, love

Through the shadows
Through the doubt
Beyond a solitary song
Surrender all your doubts,
My love.
Zara Sky Feb 2012
Seasons passed, and I still hear
your winds
whispering my name
shattering my limbs

Life's gone by, and I still feel
your skin
drowning my skin
softy trickling upon my finger tips

Hopeless desires flood my
dreams
you let it rain, you let it flood
you let it just
be

Leaving me with screaming wishes
I wish would just be swept away
swept away
swept away
Zara Sky Feb 2012
If I ever have a chance to love again, I choose you
Wait for me, I’ll find the truth
Freedom is such a short flight away
I love you, but I can’t stay

Oh, how the taste of rush on my tongue, burns
But your face makes love
With my mind
It yearns, for you
If I ever have a chance to love again, I choose you

Fate prays for our embrace
Million stars in the sea
But none will take your place
You and me, it’s destined to be
If I ever have a chance to love again, I choose you

I’ll break down if we never, come to be
Why do I run away from
The one engraved so deeply in me?
If I ever have a chance to love again, I choose you

Am I a cowardly tiger
Whose stripes are forever,
Or am I a delicate flower,
Wilting to be together?
If I ever have a chance to love again, will I choose you?
Zara Sky Feb 2012
I am what I am
Drifting sand in your wind
You are what you are
Howling air in my limbs
Merging as one
Seamlessly
Filled with one's love
But I still am
And you still are
A spirit apart
Together as one
Zara Sky Feb 2012
Engulfed in my memory
An endless wind of shrills
Trapped in an open cage
A lapse of our dismay

Caressed by tears of rain
I yearn for your empty touch
A silent, distant pain
Harnessed by our love

All I am
All I'll be
is
Trapped in an open cage.

— The End —
