Potpourri

Here is a potpourri of sketches in Spanish and English

Aqui les paso un potpourri de bosquejos en Ingles y Español

Pendulum (ying-yang)

Going:

Hallucinating drank from bitter rum

Cursed the fate that came his way…

Exhausted slammed his cabin door

To be alone detached from all

Yearned to rot away till gone.

He drilled holes to sink his ship

But threw a bottle-note to sea

That to port he will not reach

To think him dead and be forgotten.

Returning:

Why sink you heart so full of treasures,

You wish to go and shun your worth

Sinking there having reached nowhere

Without a fight you die in vain

Brave all your chances you are alive

Sober up and plug those holes

Float your boat and set your sails

For this journey you will not fail

The middle:

If you don’t come I will mourn you dead

Come my arms wait, but …go don’t stay

And no silly notes to announce you’re there.

Oracion al cristal al vino y la vela:

Tomo una copa de vino, mis ojos se pierden mirando tras cristal una vela que salpica colores – 

Visiones de siesta despierta… deseo que en el mundo de los días contados; que un simple soplo la vela llueva estrellas cadentes; que no falten pedidos ni se pierdan los sueños al olvido, ni tampoco resten ilusiones sin visiones.

Para pedirle al cielo mejores ficciones, deseo… que con viento que apaga una vela cansada, todo lo malo se fuera… y cuando me reencuentre a mi alma no se halle cansada.

If

I have nothing but my humble words to offer and pirate soul full of treasures meant for you as a measure of my breath. I beg you please take my words in their true worth tonight; for if tomorrow never comes, all the past uttered ones and now will echo in the skies for the stars to keep forever. And when you reminisce on a pirate’s flag or any sign of a one-eyed dreamer soul forgone, hope you evoke my image with the assurance that my life is infinitely real.

A taste of you

As I take this breath from you

Energized from warmth we seek to embrace

From ages left apart now held so tight

Touched our lips on this first time

A taste of you that came to life

Enchanting fragrance of surrender

Embraced in love before the stars

Spreads your warmth in million parts

Twirling petals drift our scents

A taste of you that came to life

For time took long our breaths apart

Distanced hearts far longed so much

This day to reunite what feels so right

Set us free our breaths entwine

A taste of you that came to life

Witness heavens and the Above

A love so deep the birds did cry

Locked hearts as breath entwine

Blessed with life that comes to us

A taste of you that is my life

Gota de fuego:

Cruza una gota de fuego suspensa en el aire

Luz que alumbra su marcha a lo largo

Fluye al impulso del viento que sopla p’alante

De esos movidos por sueños, de ardor por vivir

Surca una línea encendida que se hace distante

Se esfuma llevando su aliento, y envuelta un su fuego

Rastros de luz y esperanza, … puntito de alma… se va
