Some Why's















Why do we get mad?
If we are as free
as everyone else

As the snow melts
when the sun comes out
We do the same

As the sky cries
when the humidity is high
We do the same

As the trees bleed
when we cut them
We do the same

So:
Why do we get mad?
Why do we question the reason?
Why do we create false circumstances?

If we are free

As everyone else.

Detras De un Arcoiris (in Spanish)














El cielo se apaga, poco a poco

los sonidos desaparecen,

las luciérnagas nacen,

y el cielo se llena de estrellas.


El ruiseñor no canto,

y el invierno llego.

La arena congelada,

y el mar hoy no creció.


Las historias se repiten.

Como un cuento de nunca acabar.


Si descubriera lo que escondes.

Si comprendiera lo que me dices.

Te escucharía eternamente, te hablaría eternamente.


El tiempo me dejo muda,

y creo ver ciegamente,

y escuchar sordamente,

Así quede.

Así me dejastes.


Mis pies llenos de callos,

y mis manos ardientes.


Corriendo detrás de un arcoiris

me encontraras.

Soñando ciegamente,

Locamente.

Eternamente.

There you stand Brilliantly














There you stand brilliantly

With no worries

You know that you will shine.


We live a life filled with dreams

Only a few fight for it

The rest, gets stuck in comfort and routine

It takes courage and soul to fight back

So we sit under your light

Wondering and waiting


I refuse to fill my life with dreams

And walk through an empty life


There you stand brilliantly


As myself and as everybody else

The difficult part is to realize that we are as bright as a full moon

And we are the only ones responsible to make us shine

Bird Talk


I really thought we were meant to be
but how many times I thought we were meant to be

Funny enough, a bird came,
flew to my shoulder and said:
So what do you know?

Yes, I thought that was strange

but then, I thought
that maybe this bird
is the first time it speaks
and it actually chose me
to speak its first words
So yes, if you were wondering
I answered back to the bird
What do you mean? I said
I don't nothing at all
Nothing at all!

and I am proud

proud of my feelings
proud of my emotions

proud of my beliefs
proud cause I know my name


Know yourself

Know your name

Know who you are

It doesn't matter where are you going
as long as you know who you are

So if you ever find a bird

and it speaks to you

wait

it might have something worthy to say

Vale la Pena (in Spanish)


Vale la pena

Creer que volverá a pasar

Vale la pena

luchar por un sueño

y hacerlo realidad

Vale la pena

caminar por el suelo

que alimenta tu andar

Vale la pena

Creer que volverá a pasar

Vale la pena

decir te quiero, por las dudas

que no tengas otra oportunidad

Vale la pena

pasar los días, junto a esa persona

que por las noches

sueñas estar

Vale la pena

creer que volverá a pasar

No solo creer

Sino luchar

para que tengas la chance

y se vuelva realidad

For some reason you


For some reason
you came back with words

Just in time
When I thought
you where long gone

It's like you broke my heart
all over again

Remembering my smiles
my hopes, my dreams
The way you made me feel

Knowing that they are gone
long time ago.

La noche llego hambrienta (in Spanish)

La noche llega hambrienta
devorando toda ansia
de creer que algún día
dejare el sue
ño
y volverá el deseo
envuelta en un amor eterno

creí ver una estrella fugaz en el cielo
ya no creo...
deje de creer hace tiempo
cuanto deseo saber que es lo correcto
pero me olvide... que ya no creo
y así no pedí ningún deseo
dejando aquella estrella fugaz
desaparecer en el cielo

antes de ayer
creí verte
pero no es mas que un deseo
deseo de saber
donde quedo el amor
y de nuevo me olvide... que ya no creo

vibrante energía
que algún día sentí
existencialmente olvidada
que frustrante momento
el de sentir amor
sentir esperanza
y llena de proyectos
pero sin conexión
ni nadie con quien compartir este momento


la vida fluye y se escapa
derritiéndose entre mis dedos

vuelve, vuelve una vez mas
tan solo por un momento
ya no hay tiempo
tan solo concede este deseo
y volveré a creer que es realidad
y no tan solo un
sueño



Our Turn

Lets the past in the past

Where it belongs

Learn from it, remember it

But let it go

It’s our turn

To fight for our dreams and rights

Parents that got caught

In societies rhythm

Concerned about careers, money, and raises

No more! (Oh) No more

Lets remember (remember yourself)

It’s our turn

To change things (we believe in)

To change (shallow lives)

To change (unhappiness for joy)

To change (corruption to honesty)

Terrorism, corrupted presidents, false idols, killers, thieves

No more

I say no more! (We have to say No more)

It’s out turn now

Our life, our generation, out time

It’s our turn (our time nobody else’s)

We are owners of our life

It’s our turn

So let’s get the wheel and drive

Corrupted minds

Living in a constant illusion

Filling life with materialistic objects

Consumers to feel a second of fulfillment

No more!

It’s our turn

To climb the mountain of dreams

Let’s make it reality

No more illusions

It’s our turn

To change things (we believe in)

To change (shallow lives)

To change (unhappiness for joy)

To change (corruption to honesty)

Life is the journey to yourself

Beautifully painful and challenging

Stop seeking for happiness

Unlikely you’ll find when you look

It’s our turn

Our turn to create dreams into reality!

Our time- our turn

Ours!

Siempre Existieron Dicatores (in Spanish)

Siempre existieron dictadores

Cuantos conocimos

Ya desde pequeños crecimos con dos

Vivimos rodeados de restricciones

Impuestas por nuestra sociedad

Supervisadas por nuestro gobierno

De a poco van cambiando

De a poco vamos creciendo

Con algún líder carismático

Nos desatamos de las raíces que nos atan

Pero alguna que otra vuelve a nacer

Restricciones que

Siguen existiendo e imponiéndose

Tantos pensamientos hemos callado

Que difícil dejar el bote

Y aventurarse a la cuidad

Que difícil dejar la cuidad y subir al bote

Que nos lleva a lo desconocido

Few thoughts

Questioning, an answer
deep inside we discover
its been with us all along
.........................................
I smiled
not so long ago
I cried
not so long ago
but can"t recall
the last time I did both
.........................................
A dream
far away
and yet so close

Fears
















Afraid of fear,
always.

Fear,
always our own.

Hidden in the deepest cave.

When in doubt,
what you fear the most, is your hearts wish

Believing












I always believed I would recognize you right from the start

Now that time went by

I doubt that time is gonna come

I don’t even know where you are

I don’t even know who you are

I always believed I was going to shine like a star

But now the moon is blue

And I am bleeding inside out

I always believed I would recognize you right from the start

As soon as I looked into your eyes

Now I realized the clouds don’t move

Unless the breeze blows them apart

Like the foam in my bath tub

Just like this water

A whole world inside and another out

I always believed I would shine like a star… in the blue sky

And I am sure I do

People too worried about everyday stuff

They can’t realize

I always believed I would recognize you right from the start

Now that time went by

I doubt that time will come

And I don’t why

I can’t figure it out

In your eyes I will realize soon who you are

As soon as the clouds clear apart

You will see who I am

Strangers
















No matter how much time you shared with someone

Even though you spent hours, days, and months

Sharing the same space

Sharing the same air

Those faces still hide so many mysteries

Strangers to me

Strangers their still are

Years sharing the same goal

Waiting for that time to come

And we still call ourselves strangers

And soon our paths will spread

And that’s when we will stop calling ourselves strangers

Cherry Blossom


















My body aches

which means
that's shouting for a change

Soon the season will change
as well as my life

I'm still waiting
for my heart to bloom again
and I won't lie, ... I can't wait
for that day to come

Soon my laugh will come out from hiding
and I will dance
under the cherry blossoms

Esta Noche (in Spanish)













Esta noche el viento sopla tan fuerte que los árboles tiemblan

Espero que me alcance y se lleve todas mis penas que guardo en mis tensas vértebras.

Ya me canse de soñar

Deje de creer en las estrellas hace tiempo

El cielo ya no guarda secretos y los árboles dejaron de ser un misterio

Ya me canse de soñar

Deje de creer hace tiempo

Llena de desilusión me encuentro

y añorando que aquel deseo deje de ser un sueño

Everything will be fine


Just when I thought
I was the one living in darkness
pain, tears that would never end
delusion and emptiness.
I find that I am not even close.
There are darker places than this one.
Everything will be fine
I will find my way
I will find someone to share my life with
and I will be able to express
myself through words.
I will get there.
I just need time.
I will be fine.
It's going to work out.

There is no such a thing as the same

When the ocean does becomes an ocean

and when will it stop being an ocean?

Things change and they are never the same

Is one more real than the other?

A rock is a rock

but its never the same rock

It changes, but it’s still that rock

We might recognize them as the same things

but they are not the same

… are they?

When do things stop being a thing, and start becoming?

The weather *outside (*in)
















Rain drops falling

A glass filled up with tears

While a cool breeze fills the air

blowing away brown colored leaves

A glass falls

Filled with broken emotions

A waterfall from her eyes

a sore throat with no words

Her cold body waiting for an embrace

Fill her up another one

She has not yet cried enough rain drops

She has not yet feel the warmth of the day

She has not yet flown away with the wind

She has not yet spoken a word

Fill her up another one

Rain drops falling

A glass filled with tears

When a cool breeze filled the air blowing away brown coloured leaves

The glass falls

smithereens resembling the star lighted night

... broken emotions

Fill her up another one



Breath in- Breath out










Breath in -Breath out.

Pack what you need and let go what makes you bleed.

Should we try again or walk different ways?

Breath in -Breath out

Breath in

new possibilities and walk to arising smiles

Breath out

broken memories

Breath in -Breath out

Breath in new expectations

breath out past failures

Let go and walk to a new horizon

breathing in and breathing out.

To Do Lists










How many to do lists

I have made in all these years

So many I can't recall the number

Did I fulfill my dream?

None of these lists said: Achieve my dream now!

How sad…

I know it takes time… but how much time?

Today the sun shines

And not every day will be summer

So when it’s going to be the day

So many factors

So hard

Usually to be fulfilled

We need the help of others

Maybe souls that we haven’t found yet

Places that we haven’t discovered

Talents waiting to get freed

Is happiness and fulfillment ever going to come?

When? Could it be today? Or we always need more?

I guess I would have to drop so many activities I am suppose to do today

What am I doing then? Any of these things bring satisfaction?

If they don’t mean my happiness are they a way to achieve that happiness?

Or just something to fill the hours of the day?

Je ne ce pas…

Life is so beautiful, so much to see, so many people to meet and learn from them… so much

And there’s not much time

I need to get there now

And how do you do it, without letting your life go by?

And without wasting your present thinking about what tomorrow will bring…

Pillow Fight

Feathers like snowflakes floating

Slowly falling

Afraid of touching the ground

Preventing them of moving further up- further away

Smiles and laughs

And yet so quiet

Everything has turned white

And smooth

Just a moment, were you reach the pick

Happiness fills your lungs and body

And think you will never be this happy ever again

You are in love

You are in bliss

Feathers keep falling

Until they all touch the ground

That time is gone

That feeling is gone

And you wonder if you will ever feel that way again.

Our Voice


















Our voice rarely speak our thoughts

A true voice is the one that can be silent

And yet talk about honesty

How many days you felt lost

With infinite questions

vibrating along your spine

Leaving you without balance

How many days you felt scared

Holding back

Looking for a place to hide and to never be found

How many days you woke up to a dark day

Your tense body and cold flesh

Looking for refugee

But never got to say “I need you”

Our voice rarely transmit the voice of our heart

Our voice rarely speak our thoughts

A true voice is the one that can be silent

And yet talk about honesty

Our voice

Not only words, but emotions

Your entire self


Why can’t we let ourselves emanate through it? Why?

Full Moon

Will I ever find my path

Will I ever fall in love

Oh how I would love to race you in time

Things change…. we change

Time goes by and

We stop believing

We stop fighting

We forget

Will I ever find my path

Will I ever find an eternal smile

Will I ever feel light minded again

Will I ever find my way

I will gain the power of the moon

and attract the ocean

Soon you will see me shine

Soon…

Still Wondering What Happened



What happened,

I don’t have a clue.

My heart is slowly dying.

I'm living in uncertainty.

Like a dream,

I wish I could wake up and find an end to it;

but I can’t

and I still don’t know what happened.


How can we be hurting so much.

Two lovers turned into strangers.

Two lovers stabbing each others hearts with tears.

I can’t wake up,

cause I am already awake

still wondering what happened.

poem: Inhabited/Inhibited

My eyes are feeling so heavy today.

So heavy I cannot see a thing,

like an outsider I am.

I do not want to stand today.

I want to close myself and become invisible,

to everyone’s eyes.

To everyone that is surrounding me.

…There are no more words to say.

I want to close my eyes forever.

Please don’t talk! Please don’t speak and don’t look at me!

I want to breath in, all the silence until I am stuffed with it.

Until I am released…

Then I will be able to open my eyes again.

New eyes. New images. Calm breathing.

But until then, I will have my eyes closed.

Words as My Voice


As the rain has a name,

As the rain has a voice and words.

I have them too.

As the rain has a reason to be,

I have one too.

As the ocean to be calm and wild

As the ocean to have and end for the sight

I have one too

As the ocean that has an outside look and an inner world

I have them too.

As the seasons to be part of a cycle

I take part too.

As a whole, as a fragment

I’m one as I’m all.

As the sky that has two faces, that make one

As the sky that has an imaginary side

As the sky that says to much with no words spoken

I am too. I have them too.

As the sky with fallen meteors, stuck in a nest

As the sky with a hanging dream

As the sky with a unfinished history

I live that too. With no beginning and no end

As the breeze sings

As the wind tells

As the hurricane shouts

My words as my voice

Will remain on the air…

A breeze will take them away

But the trade

Will remain and remain.
