Re

prefixed.

unncessary

dimensions of renewal and regurgitation,

disbanded over the tediousness of your shirt.

We moved the grounds of negotiation

to unclaimed territories of oblivion.

forgoing every forbidden phantom,

freeing every fastidious fraction;

Another day gone by without signs  of redemption

or the glimpse of a silent plea and reflection.

How long do we forget before remembering

we are holding the future hostage

and we fail to demand any ransom.

10:01pm today

Just for luck!

Uncertainty ahead.

Morpheus clinging onto my eyes,

to envision a more vibrant

day tomorrow.

Tonite,

I

want to leave

my

heavy

eyelids

and

anxiety

behind so

here goes.

Maybe tomorrow

all of

them

will be ether.

No Más!

From now on,

You will find my name

at the corner of subversive & sublime

I have been standing there forever.

Yes, forever.

Waiting for myself,

afraid I may miss the train.

Forgive me,

upto now, you have been hearing

only the echoes of the curves and vowels in my name.

Please note:

There are no trains at the corner of subversive & sublime,

there is no corner either.

Dizzy Spell Day

It started off as a dry day...

One of those when your words and thoughts take a break

and the more you try the harder it gets.

On days like that I read, I uncover old friends, old loves, old spells

all from the world of text and voice,

I go back to first principles...

Only today dry day became a dizzy day...

I could barely recall some of those old friends and my own silence was making me nauseous...

My mind called out to Neruda's  Poem XV (see below)

I know I recently heard Alejandro Sanz recite this poem ...

Of course the memory of both brought a smile to my heart.

I tried to find it on youtube and...

sure enough, I did find it, but my find for the day, 

was this song and MV  by Alejandro Sanz...

more words for my dry/dizzy day.

I can now erase the nausea from my quietude...


Thank you Pablo

Thank you Alejandro


Pablo Neruda Poema XV


Alejandro Sanz

Cuando nadie me ve (Alejandro Sanz)
A veces me elevo,
doy mil volteretas
a veces me encierro
tras puertas abiertas
a veces te cuento
por que este silencio
y es que a veces soy tuyo
y a veces del viento.

a veces de un hilo
y a veces de un ciento
y hay veces, mi vida,
te juro que pienso:
¿por qué es tan difícil
sentir como siento?
sentir ¡como siento!
que sea difícil

a veces te miro
y a veces te dejas
me prestas tus alas,
revisas tus huellas
a veces por todo
aunque nunca me falles
a veces soy tuyo
y a veces de nadie
a veces te juro
de veras que siento,
no darte la vida entera,
darte sólo esos momentos
¿por qué es tan dificil?...
vivir solo es eso...
vivir, solo es eso...
¿por qué es tan dificil?

cuando nadie me ve
puedo ser o no ser
cuando nadie me ve
pongo el mundo del revés
cuando nadie me ve
no me limita la piel
cuando nadie me ve
puedo ser o no ser
cuando nadie me ve.

a veces me elevo,
doy mil volteretas
a veces me encierro
tras puertas abiertas
a veces te cuento
por que este silencio
y es que a veces soy
tuyo y a veces del viento

te escribo desde los
centros de mi propia existencia
donde nacen las ansias
la infinita esencia
hay cosas muy tuyas
que yo no comprendo
y hay cosas tan mías
pero es que yo no las veo
supongo que pienso
que yo no las tengo
no entiendo mi vida,
se encienden los versos
que a oscuras te puedo,
lo siento no acierto
no enciendas las luces que tengo
desnudos,
el alma y el cuerpo

cuando nadie me ve
puedo ser o no ser...

Shoe Laces

Crisscrossing flatly,

thoughtfully symmetrical,

tightly enveloped

memories

in shoelaced dreams

of the impossible.

I knotted the last sighs

of tomorrow

and tomorrow

and tomorrow,

just so

I could keep running

from every today

without

dreams of shoe laces.

I still run...

jagged edges

vitreous fission

spontaneous implosion

vitrilolic redemption

inescapable silent junction

Nothing left to negotiate

and

yet

a thousand parts

of me

demand

a oneness

that I fail

to

translate.

I can't reach you

and

now

you

may

never look for

my voice under your

wing.

You're it.

Yes, you! YOU!

Your eye (I)  is on my Y (why)

my eye was on yours a minute ago

You travel the land and record your  eye

I fly the sky and record the affect

I see the view from your eye,

you miss my eye even if you can read its sound.

I catch glimpses of your voice,

you, unknowingly, hold pieces of my soul...

Right now,

You are it!

Boston Promises

Ka-Pow

or is it kapow?

KAPOW!!

Slippage...

I wouldn't have noticed the blue eyes

had they not stopped to ask for direction.

Who asks for directions any way?

You can't get lost in Boston...

Every corner is a promise of adventure,

every street is dying to tell a story,

KAPOW!!

A promise, an adventure and two stories,

in 22 hours in Boston.

Fissures

Prefigures and fissures

Wasted time on a perch

Incessant turbulence of the mind

I have just lost the biggest battle of them all

From now on

you

must

guide

me

My shadow conspired with my ego and

together they tried to eliminate me.

Now I must

build

myself

beyond

your compassion

and

my disdain for myself.

Tumbleweeds

in my eyes

remind me

the ocean

may never find me,

but

you

must

look

for

my

hand.

Memoirs for a rainy day

I forget your eyes

I forget your eyes wander on my blog

I forget you have been asking me for pieces of my soul

I forget I want to remember your name

I forget you want some sweet words to ease your tired heart

I forget that on most rainy days you still wait under the pergola

I forget the day we painted the pergola and your eyes gave you away

I forget the corner where we carved our names  under the pergola

I forget why your eyes always wander on places my heart never leaves

I forget everything you want to remember and the reason why you remember me...
