been a while since i wrote like that and original is in spanish but whatever i'd share it here.

 

Caminos

 

Buscando un destino

vagamos, tropezamos.

Tan sencillo sería

Avanzar sin heridas.

 

Curtidas en propia piel

golpes recibidos

frenos forzados

trae animo renovado.

 

Tanto tiempo, sin cruzar

Sin pasar el puente

recorrer el sendero

en busca del lucero

 

Maneras, metodos

disciplinas, rutinas

servido todo

y sirviendo nada

 

Nada, nada al mar

huye, del propio mal

Temores que atrapan

Sueños en que volar

 

Dudas contra cordura

Navegar sin singladura

Contar para no olvidar

Escuchar para recordar

 

Palabras que nos guian

Sonidos que nos mecen

Cual un calido amanecer

Sentir la sinfinía

 

Describe la silueta

La sombra inquieta

Movimiento del devenir

Cambios que decidir

 

Observador testigo

reflexivo amigo

pluma con que escribo

proyecta el camino.

 

Self translate (sure will lose the rhythm and the double sense):

 

Ways

 

 

Looking for a destiny

 

we wander, we stumble.

How easy would be

 

carry on without hurts.

 

hardened on own skin

 

knockings received

 

forced brakes

 

bring a hope renewed

 

 

So long, without crossing

 

Walking the bridge

 

run along the path

 

looking for the sun

 

 

Manners, methods

disciplines, routines

everything served

 

and nothing working

 

 

nothing, swim to the sea

 

run, from self wrongs

 

fears that trap

 

dream on where to fly

 

 

doubts against common sense

 

sail with no voyage

 

Tell to not forget

 

Listen to remember

 

 

Words that guide us

 

Sounds that swings

 

As a warm dawn

 

Feel the symphony

 

 

Describe the silhouette

 

The restless shadow

 

Movement of becoming

 

Changes to decide

 

 

Observant witness

 

reflexive friend

 

Fountain pen with which i write

 

project the way.

Ok, this one took me a lot of time to write, but i think it's still not finished, yet. It was a bit longer but the rhythm was not perfect. I hope somebody likes this :rolleyes:

 

A little corporal

 

 

You are sitting in that tiny tiny room

All around is pain and cold.

You're just waiting for a spark to show.

 

 

Because you feel here is no way

That you can run or flee away.

 

Look through the window,

And you will see

It's only snowflakes dancing over here.

It makes you wonder why,

The life is so unkind.

 

You feel there is no future

And destiny abandoned,

When dragged you in a foreign country.

 

And you live here all alone

Far away from home.

 

A chance is glistering outside these walls.

But the Anarchy, the only enemy of yours,

Has covered all the France at once.

 

But you don't even know that:

Somewhere the battelfield is waiting for its heroes,

Big hopes and dirty blood.

Somewhere the destiny has written a plan for you

To win and to lead, to make a mark,

To create a history by your own hand.

The old one, I've just found out :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Am i doomed to live the life like this?

Do i can't change anything?

And what i am suppose to do?

To grab my sword and run?

To reach the battlefield and stop.

to think.

to hesitate.

Or listen carefully to whispers of surrounders.

to believe the lie again.

and to reconsider.

to change my horse

to change my mind and aim.

and to be defeated by the destiny?

no.

This is called "Insomniac's Lullaby" and is the closer on my record. Basically a

 

 

My suspended animation is keeping me an inch away from sleep

There's still so much to see

 

When the day is ailing me and the melatonin is failing me

Then it's Atlas, at last!

Atlas, at last for me...

 

Awake in the dark where I dance to an endless refrain

So begins the witching hour of bed and brain

 

I'm on my knees searching for keys

There's no wonder why I just can't rely on epiphanies

I've played the waiting game for years and years and it's clearly plain to see

That repetition is a sign of insanity

 

Meanwhile...

 

I'm lying awake in the dark

Not a wink, so I drink to unwind

Dancing with a syncopated body and mind

 

So when tomorrow comes I won't think about this year

In that I've lived my life just to disappear

Now is the time to start some fires

It's time to slash these wicked tires

So get me out!

Get me out of here!

That's awesome! Really intriguing. Do you read any poets if so which ones?

here's a stupid little thing I have from some lyrics to a song I wrote called Breathing Underwater

 

Down at the bottom

Quiet around

No one has been here

Tentacles reach from out of the caves

Pulls to strangle me in

 

Here I am

Calm

Should've swam

Earlier on

A dig in the sand

And I'm stuck

 

Deep blue sea

Corals of green

It feels like I'm floating in space

I'll surface soon

But not now

I wish that I could stay here forever

sounds like 90% of all my dreams. I can totally relate. I should write more about my dreams. This is inspiring.

Thankyou!

 

My favorite lyricist is hands down the great Leonard Cohen

 

as far as non musical poetry I really dig Lao Tzu, and Kahlil Gibran

 

Interesting. A poet some of you may be interested in is a Scottish one called Edwin Muir. He is fantastic.

Hardly the poet,this just came out of no where.Pretty simple in structure and rhyme.

 

The Two

 

Darkest of dark,is the desert night.

The stars are their guide,they are their sight.

 

Their gaze is intense,natural,and true.

Moments like these,they know are few.

 

The two on a path,that leads to an end.

Was it all sincere,or was it pretend?

 

The two now divided,not sure where they'll end.

Not sure if they'll ever meet again.

This town, this place we grew up in

A sanctuary full of memories

Let everybody see

Our home where we began

Can you smell the air?

Can you envision the past?

Can you feel our hands?

 

In time we will move on

But until then, nothing's gone

Our years were numbered

But our fun, unlimited

Like we always said

We will never forget our glory days

Magnificent Journey

 

Look out and see the street lights aglow

Follow your heart, wherever you may go

And I want you to know

That I'll always love you so..

 

I'll wake in the morning, and remember

Running in the summer fields all day and night

Counting stars with you till first light

Was a sweet release from everything holding us down

We know this won't last forever

But sometimes the best things come when we don't see them

And they leave a smile on our face

Even in the worst of place

 

Look out and see the street lights aglow

Follow your heart, wherever you may go

And I want you to know

That I'll always love you so..

 

Follow your heart, wherever you may go

And I want you to know

That I'll always love you so..

Rise

 

When you run as fast as you can

You see things you can't ignore

The shackles grip you tighter

The screaming echoing quieter

As the structures burn down and fade away

One day, from stone and scorched earth

Will rise a heart, bloody and pure or nothing worth

The red sea's will pour down

Not through skin and bone

But that of the mind's eye

Life becomes clear, when painted in sky

The truth sets us free through thousands of lies

Basking deep inside

A sanctuary will rise

A breath of death enshrined this one

Ignorance of these days left him stranded

Find him buried underneath the water's valley

Blood flows through every place but the vein or heart

Pale eyes stare at an unknown instant

At the black depth, new home, become heart

Now he doesn't know how to use a lung

A thing of the past, all but solitude

Accompanied by a dreadful stench

Some rot, some tiredness, some pain, so much fear

What in that experience would have overcome such finality

What in the abyss can remit all perspective?

Forget and abolish this person, "abort" he contemplates

Every angle is naught but a beating around the bush

It has been long, life is outlasted, realization never occurred

Lift this barren waste, become its own refuse

Shadow world, expel; dead wood, bleed

Be poured until you vanish, even by drip

The only thing left of him is thought

No memory comforts aborted breath

Why would he plant here, his own heart?

Wake up creature of dark, transport

This is the first time

That he spoke in a while

To an empty room, blessed

Full of listening and time

No reply from the volume

Amassed wisdom in what confined?

Screams and whispers alike

"The mind is tricking me"

So the man thought

Aloud or not, when inopportune

Lengthy or abrupt

Reasoned or passive

Always he was full of some

Hope, expectation, faith, delusion,

Vision, ambition, alarm

Divining a moment when

That white washed canvas

When that wall, that very wall

Would reciprocate
