Mareado de navegar por un campo
recurro a sentarme en un sillón, una vez en mi destino.
Un rostro jovial pero demacrado trae impropios comentarios
no estoy de humor para eso y no entiendo su alegato.
Me retiro y camino por un cuarto oscuro
con sus ventanas cerradas al final me espera una puerta de acero.
La abro para ver de nuevo la luz del sol
no sin antes repasar en el espejo mi fruncido entrecejo.
El árbol se alza imponente en medio del patio que
cuadriculado, rectangular se ve aún mas pequeño con los años.
La tierra como siempre seca, gris y coartada
y la maleza sosegada amenaza la grama con pequeñ

Daydreams by the Riverside
You didn't came to see me in my dreams
this time, my friend.
But I was half asleep
when I came near your path
I had to grab a chair,
I leaved my chores
and prepared my warm drink.
How I missed your soothing voice.
How I missed the birds and the trees.
They have been rendering my thoughts
since the day we parted ways.
It has been too long
and I had to grab a chair
just like before.
Speak, my friend
I listen
Sing, my friend
I dance
And as I seat here, my friend
you whisper
the odes, forever dear
of our unreachable past.
For years you would call
and for years I woke up
thinking: why?
And for years I would float
carried
Bacchus would be delighted
But I am not
for my tongue does not
relish upon filthy things
to poison my veins
if only for a moment
is a repugnant thought
To cherish the virtues of wine
the praise of its stink
of its decomposition
of its fungal taste
is foreign indeed
this beverage is to me
only fermented grape
You drink only to loose yourself
and you are to be found
yes, you are found by extraneous lips
you may loose your arms
but may find some new ones
you may spill your cup
but still may find use for your tongue
you may loose your eyes
but who needs them the dark night?
you may loose your whole being
but you won't loos
All I ever wanted was a maybe
Maybe one evening and one kiss
To hold you
Tightly.
To stay still
calmly
To breathe the scent of your skin
To press my cheek against yours
And maybe
To gaze upon the stars?
Yes, because I know you would have loved that.
Ive always been rather slow to learn
And indeed, rather slow to act
Cautious, taking my time
Too much time
Yes, afraid.
I ask you about him
Huge pressure gauge on my chest
And a contracted heart
Do you know ?
If you just
If you just knew that
A question never was just a question
A hug never was just a hug
And a kiss never was just a
Once upon a time
There was a little lie
Its name was truth
And I believed it
But one day I realized
Truth was nothing but a name
And lie was all that really was
Well, some other day, on a rage
I killed truth
Because I couldn't stand the lie anymore
Now I weep
As I got no truth to follow
Nor a lie to believe
I will finally sing this song
As I cannot contain myself
I will pour this out from me
The water runs deep and its pressure overwhelming
I will not rest, I cannot rest
Because of this turbid water within
And it moves me back and forth
Movement to and fro
And it spills, the water spills
And it is cold and runs trough my face
But flow, flow, and flow out from me
And whilst I sing, it shall flow
Distilling the turbid water within
Because the melody is cleansing
Its words speak of a fantasy
An apparition that I have seen
Moving from beneath the waters
When the water is calm
But I trembled when I saw its face
A lady lies beneath!
Once upon a time
There was a little lie
Its name was truth
And I believed it
But one day I realized
Truth was nothing but a name
And lie was all that really was
Well, some other day, on a rage
I killed truth
Because I couldn't stand the lie anymore
Now I weep
As I got no truth to follow
Nor a lie to believe
Once upon a time
There was a little lie
Its name was truth
And I believed it
But one day I realized
Truth was nothing but a name
And lie was all that really was
Well, some other day, on a rage
I killed truth
Because I couldn't stand the lie anymore
Now I weep
As I got no truth to follow
Nor a lie to believe
