Sweet Nothings

In every captured smile, your warmth does linger,
Through the hush of weekends fleeing fast.
Your kiss, salted by the sea’s own finger,
Whispers of days too sweet to last.

Each night unfolded into morning’s light,
Your touch, a soft harbor in the chill,
Where moments small, yet infinitely bright,
Hold the heart’s quiet, unspoken thrill.

Here in the calm that morning brings,
Beneath the vast, watchful sky,
Memory’s tender, fleeting wings
Brush the soul, as time slips by.

Aún no te he amado todo lo que deseo,
ni te he abrazado con el fervor más intenso.
Aún juego con tu pelo, sin querer terminar,
y creo que nunca, jamás, podré dejar de soñar.

Aquí estamos, dos almas en la misma vereda,
tan cerca y a la vez en distancias que aterran.
Sueño con tu rostro dorado por el sol,
con tu cabello danzando al viento, sin control.

Y aquí seguimos, simplemente aquí.

Quizás no domine bien el español,
pero estas palabras son mi único farol.
Vuelve a casa, a mis brazos, tu lugar,
déjame abrazarte, solo una vez más.
Es lo último que guardo de ti,
y no acepto que así tenga que ser el fin.

¡Regresa a casa, ven a mí!

I am much tired today
like I have never been of anything
weight I carry of expectations

-

To the seeker of peace,
I grant you thee the courage
to fight the necessary fights

-

You bring me the warmth of the fireplace
on a cold winter night
Freshness of the snow on a crisp morning ,
The romance of the first rain
And the need of the first sip of coffee

I am a hero to some lives
I am a Villain in many a lives
Some are amazed by the life I live
Some are are angry that I am still alive
I am neither of them and both at the same time

Battle

I have fought this battle within me
For as long as I can remember
The need to be right all the time
Ever so vigilant, always on alert

Sharpening my intellect as a battle knife
just so that no one can prove me wrong
Studying, learning , living, striving for perfection
Just so that I never fail, detached from reality

What is the big consequence you ask?
Shame-

I overwork myself for my right to exist
feed my ego and establish my superiority
I live with a discomfort of unknown origin
Trying to find comfort in temporary reliefs

I will accept my self today ,
Without shame yet with responsibility
Humility to reach out for help
Recovering step by step , day by day
Striving for peace and serenity

Dear Barb,


primero tu sonrisa y tus ojos segundo,
están fuera de este mundo

me quitan el aliento y mi dolor,
eres una joya rara mi amor

Free at last

I am constantly at fight
for moments of peace and quiet
Duelling my being and humanity
Unaware of ignorance and divinity

Fight over wasted emotions
Guilt and failure in motion
Alone with my limiting beliefs
Addicted to momentary relief

Acting on the “HOLY” appropriate
Accepting suffering as fate
Situations beyond my control
Circumstances dictating my role

When I reach out for help and call
I decide to be free, no reason at all
Loving and grateful just for fun
Joyous and free and it is done
