extrana combinacion de criaturas nocturnas
perspiracion de panico en el aire
asi termina el mundo
carruceles se detienen y la musica
la musica sigue sonando
baja el telon
la tierra hoy culmina
a ella le dijeron que manana
ya no doleria
lo pides todo y no te das cuenta
que se me hace imposible complacerte
tan cercana al cielo
tan divina
inusual ternura en la mirada
es la sonrisa tuya la que mata
es el temblor de tu cuerpo el que envenena
adictiva delicia agonizante
ya la luna duerme
y tu tan solo observas
desde mi ventana.
Tu amor asi, es feliz
sin complicacion ni requisito
he olvidado pedir que seas piadosa
no se acostumbra arriesgar la cordura
no cabe por la cerradura mi paciencia
el miedo de milenios que se extinguen
en vano, desvanecen en tus dedos
las excusas.
asi se renueva la creacion
una vez mas volvemos a creer en la mentira
a ella le dijeron que manana seria valido
no tener puesta el alma en su sitio
el sol igual ya no saldria
la muerte se pasea por nuestra cuadra
que cancion cantas, que la invocas?
tan dulce es la guerra
tan inevitable
pobre corazon extinto, como hace falta
y que tan equivocada estoy
que tan extraviada
ciervo temeroso entre tus unas
se detiene la musica
se apagan las luces
que has hecho de mi
ahora que...
nada.
...de verso en cuando.

Useless adaptation
I
I want the little bit of you that was never offered
the secrets you hold, the strength you pretend
I want to discover you and name you the capital of my country
and then I want to make a holiday
where everyone has to love
in our name.
Over all things
I want to shake the sand off of my shoes
and be able to pronounce the choking feelings in my throat
Not beliving has got me tied up
and you seem too busy to rescue me
This letter goes to the you
that I met in the past
please take me back
please don't ever let go of my hand again.
Today never exists
emptiness governs my veins
I keep on making unheard wishes
no guidance, no route, no destiny
I want the little bit of you
that was too stubborn to try
once upon a time, in a fairy tale existance.
I want it here
in this city of strangers and boredom
where I pretend to be adapted
and you pretend to never have cared.
write back
write back
say something
I cant go on.
anymore.
II
liar, liar, house on fire...
Dharma-inhibited reality
sometimes no instructions are necessary
to give your life a spin.
Round and round
this time the music
was self inflicted.
Come dance with me...I do not mind.....if truth is not in you.
Not anymore.
III
Contradicting myself
Am in the mood for believing
In the extinguished power of beating hearts
I can't offer much but will you listen
Will you conquer, will you heal me, will you try....
Am in the middle of nowhere making believe that I have you, I like the way it feels,
The lack of power when I find myself surrounded in your arms, I can't wake up.
Promise to keep this a secret, I brag a lot about always having control... but see, am no god, I'm inperfect, I was made of clay like you...
And am willing to break
And am willing to break
Am willing to fall down
If in the depths of the abyss I can find you
If among the darkness I can hear you
My blindness is temporal, my addiction unavoidable.
Am thirsting your lies, your flaws, your excess of ego. Am in need of your silent dissapproval, of your unconcious misconception, and overall, aching to mold your back with the tip of my fingernails...
If I survive your defects, your errors, your selfishness... I have the world to look forward to.
Its suiting that you love me, you see... I always though high of myself. Lesson learned. Please trust me, I suffered all that I deserved...every morning waking up next to your image, an illusion, mind's guilty hologram...
So I invite you to visualize reality one second
A less perfect universe
Something more of what the tv plays
Less of what your heart desires
So that once and for all I can be the superhero
Am willing to save you
It will be a quick rescue
No need for castles or dragons...
Run away, right now and forever
I'm speaking a language you'd never understand.

What have I done now?
Don't leave the front light on, darling
I won't be home tonight
remember to water the plants, eat your dinner
tomorrow when you wake up it will all be alright.
As long as you match your tie with your pants
catch a deep breath and don't let them know
there's always voicemail if you feel you can't take it
don't open your heart to strangers, pretend I won't take long.
I left instructions under your pillow
I know what you're thinking, am a control freak, I know
but baby this won't make the news tomorrow
am not walking away, am not walking away, am not walking away.
There's a bucket right next to your bed
there's my letter right next to your lamp
there's my love right next to your fear
You've saved me before, I'll save you next time.
Don't leave the front light on, darling
remember the neighbors get funny if they see something's up
then they will call the cops, they'll all be complaining
as long as you lock the door, no one will mind.
When we were younger we had the power to go back in time
I'll find a way to get a taste of the magic again
the doctors said it's all in the mind, I don't mind what they say
it would be a shame to let this love go to waste.
Let's get this over with, am tired of waiting on my knees
there's miracles of all shapes and colors,
yours'll be to forget, mine'll be to forgive
I never meant to hurt you, be strong for my sake.
There's a bucket right next to your bed
there's my letter right next to your lamp
there's my love right next to your fear
You've saved me before, I'll save you next time.
Don't ask me where am going, darling
I'm packing all memories, my luggage is light
If ever you were to miss me please don't hate me
I promised you would never be alone again.
close the curtains, don't reply if they ask where I've gone
there are moments when the world means nothing to me
don't stay waiting all night, put dinner in the fridge
what have I done, what have I done, what have I...
I won't be home tonight
remember to water the plants, eat your dinner
tomorrow when you wake up it will all be alright.
As long as you match your tie with your pants

Corazon Mandarina
Poema a cuatro manos.
El amor se parece a las naranjas...
aunque de menor tamaño,
sabor más aromático
y mayor facilidad para quitar su piel.
Cual gamin hambriento exprimiendo mandarinas,
estaba la muchacha con mi corazon.
fielmente con sus uñas agarrando mi conciencia,
enterrandose permanente en los renglones mas estrechos
de mi nectar de pecados.
Las pepas que eran la unica opcion de un abolengo digno,
apretadas contra el piso con sus labios inclementes,
pudriendo vertebras, musculos y alma.
Era delicioso verla resbalarse, piel esquiva.
Princesa anaranjada de deseos
me disfrazaba de heroe,
suplicantes ojos agonizantes,
suculentos abismos infernales,
validaba mi existencia en un instante...
Mas solo estaba regalando mi dignidad.
Del orgasmo infinito llego
la pudredumbre de la cascara.
Su largo pelo enredado como dragon me escondio su espalda.
¿acaso valia un peso el orgullo de un hombre?
Valia mas un beso sangriento,
un vestido de capa,
la envidia de los arrechos.
La vi deslizarse por la esquina de mi ojo izquierdo.
fastidiada construyo murallas con su ropa.
Supe que era tarde. Que nunca fue mia.
Degradado en mi tumba, aun estando despierto.
Amarga premonicion del amor que toca la puerta por error.
El gamin hambriento, era yo.
