Tu Legado

Inspirada en una charla que tuve con mi mami.

Eres magnánimo.
Eres grandioso.
Deslumbras
Con tu resplandor.

Tu luz
Tal es,
Que has iluminado
El sendero de muchos.
Algunos partieron
Y se adentraron.
Algunos otros
Huyeron.

Tu montaña
De frente
La viste.
Inmensa,
Majestuosa,
Imponente.
No tuviste miedo y la escalaste.

Tomaste
Caminos largos,
Caminos cortos,
Caminos rectos,
Caminos llenos de curvas,
Caminos muy empinados,
Caminos que parecían ir hacia abajo y,
Caminos que parecían ir en retroceso.


Con monstruos peleaste
Y venciste.
Los mosquitos te picaron
Y otros bichos, también.
De polvo y otras suciedades
Tus ropas se mancharon.

Te caíste,
Te levantaste
Y te sacudiste.
Tu camino
Seguiste
Y a la cima
Llegaste.

Ese es tu legado.
Y en mi máxima
Convertirse debe.

No me corresponde
Más arriba
De tu montaña
Escalar.
Más allá
No hay nada.

Mi deber es
Escalar y vencer
Mi propia montaña.
No me puedo
Detener,
Hasta la cima nevada
Alcanzar.

Apology



I didn’t mean
To hurt you.
I didn’t mean
To wound your skin.
I didn’t mean
To break your heart.
I didn’t mean
To tear your spirit.


I didn’t want
To fire my guns.
I didn’t want
To blow down your walls.
I didn’t want
To shatter your dreams.
I didn’t want
To kill your land.


Was never my intention
To mean you harm.
Was never my intention
To insult your name.
Was never my intention
To break you down.
Was never my intention
To vanish the color in you.


I just did
What I always do.
Shoot first,
Then,
Unleash the dogs
And last,
Hope they never comeback for more.


I want you to know
Who’s scared the most
Is the one
Your eyes find pleasure to see.


Forgive my weakness,
Is all I have.
I beg of you
To remain in your dreams.
It’s my deepest desire
To compose to you
For your delight
The greatest of symphonies.


Accept my gift
With this golden ribbon,
And forget my offense
With your golden heart.


Be blessed for
Your kindness.
Be love for
Your soul.

Myself

I’m weird,
Excepcional,
Crazy, and
One of a kind.

I am poet,
Or at least,
Try to be.
I am writer,
I try to be that too.

I am girl,
Don’t want to be
Just one more.
I am girl
And want to reach
Beyond the moon.

I am stubborn,
I like to win.
I am perfectionist,
I’ve no modesty.

I see color
In music.
I don’t see
The reality
As you do.
I can tell you
A story
Out of the blue.

I am a being,
Human one,
Mortal child.
Meade if flesh,
Core of bone.

Have my flaws,
Felt the pain,
Regret mistakes.
I’ve been given
A life, and
What you see
Is what I’ve done.

I took a path,
Chose a course,
Walked through it
And still in it.

I own a heart,
Possess a soul;
I’ve been hurt
And I have hurt.


There still some wounds

Open bleeding,
Other,
Already been repair.

What I am
I won’t change.
Perfect,
Never be.
Have to improve,
I’m not yet the best of me.

Mi Castillo De Naipes


Para este poema un amigo me sirvió de inspiración y 24 horas antes me había inspirado para otro también.

Mi castillo de naipes
Ha sido derribado
Por lo vientos fríos
Del Norte.

La esperanza que tenía
Se ha esfumado,
Voló libre
En forma de mil polillas.

Mis sueños
Fueron aplastados
Como quien deteste
Los bichos rastreros.

El sol me sonrío,
Me dio su calor
Y me abrazó
Con su amor.

Se dieron as seis
Y el sol se ocultó.
Se fue su calor
Y nada quedó.

No había luna en lo alto,
Un cielo oscuro y sin estrellas
Contemplé.

En el silencio de la noche
El mensaje por fin comprendí:
No era yo, no era yo.
Simplemente
No era yo.

Impulsiva fui,
Con la corriente del río
Navegué,
Ni brújula,
Ni Mapa, llevé.
Solamente
Mi dizque intuición
Empaqué.

Encallé
Y mi bote se hundió.
La gélida agua me durmió
Al rato desperté y a la orilla nadé.

Aquí estoy
Buscando
Mi estrella Polar,
Mi guía y mi luz.

Alguna noche te he de encontrar.
Sigo aquí,
Y alguna noche

The Best Investment

Para este poema un amigo me sirvió de inspiración y 24 horas después me inspiró para otro también.


Don't want to go bed
And just lie over it.
I want to dream of you,
I wish you dream of me too.


You are the best part
Of the day.
At night
You give me comfort,
To listen your voice, and
To have you here
With me in my room,
I couldn't ask for more.


I've met you before,
But I didn't know you at all.
No I see
You are tender and sweet
As I never imagine you could be.


I want to know you more,
Get deeper in your mind and soul.
Every second I spent with you
It's a very high class investment.


I don't want to fall
In love with you,
But I'm willing to take a chance on you.
Now I can't wait
For the kiss.
I want to witness
The moment you hold my hand.


I'm not perfect,
I'd give the best of me.
I'd be faithful,
Reliable and thankful.


I want this friendship
To evolve.
I want it to turn
Into something else.
I'll have open my heart,
Just in case.
But if it happens that you break it,
It's OK. I won't blame you.
I'd be sad about it, and
I could cry
Because it's over,
But I still wish you the best of lucks.


Let me know if you want the same.
I'll let my phone on,
The door unlocked,
A window open, and
My facebook always on-line.
I'm a text away at any time.
