Poetry
Hey kittens since I've seen some requests for more poetry on the board I thought I'd give it a try. I hope it doesn't suck too badly, usually I only write poetry in Spanish and when it's translated it just isn't the same, a lot of things don't rhyme or fit, so... sorry if it might sound funny . I'd like to share this in both languages for those who speak Spanish, you be the judge.
I know you
--------------
I know you
I knew you before I was born into this life
I knew you before all my previous deaths
I saw your coming in dreams
You crossed the edge of the abyss in your bare feet
You walked to the end of the night
I drew new words into my colorless world with the red ink of your lips
Now I live not in shadow
Not on the barren ground
I live in the open space of your hands and embrace
Te conozco
--------------
Te conozco desde antes de nacer
Mas allá de la vida y mis otras muertes
Te he visto en sueños
Cruzando con pies descalzos
El filo del abismo y el borde de la noche
Dibujo las palabras con la tinta roja de tus labios
Y vivo no en la sombra, no en la tierra baldía
Sino en el espacio abierto de tus manos, mi querida.
Drunken song
-----------------
Your mouth is the illusion
The honey and the drunken passion.
Your words are a midnight poetry a balcony serenade.
Your hands are the garden where the moon slumbers behind the sun.
Your hips are a shadows secret whisper and the song that spills forth on this page
A love song, perhaps not wholly in tune but surely born out my love for you.
Canción Ebria
-----------------
Tu boca es ilusión, miel y borrachera de pasión.
Tus palabras - un poema de medianoche en un balcon.
Tus manos - un jardín donde duerme la luna detrás del sol.
Tus caderas susurros de la sombra y la canción derramada sobre este papel
Es una canción ebria y desafinada quizas, pero enamorada.
_________________________________
Thank you kitties, (sigh!) I'm getting some kittens to *sigh* in their posts I'll take that as the highest compliment.
I'm working on translating some more.
here's two more hope you like them and pixie muso thanks for the compliment.
High
--------------
When you feel life like a high
It's flying time
Here comes the rush
Here lies the fire
There goes my life
Abandoned to desire
It's time to crash
It's time to see
How angels do grieve
Souls are sold
We are lost
There's no here
There's no left
There's only the big red empty -up ahead-
Volando
----------------
Cuando sientes la vida como una droga
Ahí vuelas
Aquí viene ella veloz por las venas
Aquí arde el fuego
Allá va mi vida
Por el deseo consumida
Es tiempo de estrellarse
Es hora de ver
Como si lloran los ángeles
Las almas se venden
Estamos perdidos
No hay nadie aquí
Ya nadie queda
Adelante solo la gran nada roja se conserva.
The traveller
-----------------------
I shall search for your face trough out the ages
I'll keep the image of you sacred and guarded behind my eyes
All the while walking through entire cities
that seem like strange universes
Without you
I will look for a magus to serve as my guide
I will learn to levitate in dreams if I must to find you
So that one night when you speak
It's my breath you'll feel inside your mouth
One night when your eyes have opened or even closed
You'll share with me the bizarre visions I have chosen for you to see
Of these new worlds
And one night when you dream about the fires and the flames of illusion
You'll sigh in relief and drink the air in mouthfuls
Because you'll know with all certainty
That I am near
That I am coming
That I will hold you to me and never let you leave.
Caminante
-----------------------
Buscare tu rostro atraves de los siglos
Me quedare con tu imagen sagrada clavada en las pupilas
Mientras recorro ciudades enteras
Que sin ti parecen ser universos extraños
Buscare un mago que me sirva de guía
Aprenderé a levitar en tus sueños para encontrarte si es necesario
Para que una noche cuando hables
Me sientas en tu boca
Una noche cuando abras tus ojos o aun cuando los cierres
Vas a ver las extrañas visiones que escogeré para ti
Y una noche cuando sueñes con hogueras y quimeras
Suspiraras de alivio y tomaras el aire a bocanadas
Porque sabrás sin duda que estoy cerca
Que me aproximo para retenerte en mi y nunca dejarte ir.
----------------------------------------------
hello thank you all for the great replies, I hope I haven't tired you yet, here's two more
really short ones. By the way "angel"in no way takes after old tall,dark and vampy I wrote it way before his time.
cachaco you got it perfectly and pixie gracias.
Silent night
-------------------
This dark night my eyes bleed sleep
And my words pray for silence.
My fists are raised, protesting and screaming at the moon
While my lips fall mutely upon the ground.
Noche de silencio
-----------------------
Esta noche negra mis ojos sangran sueño
Y mis palabras aclaman el silencio.
Mis puños protestan contra la luna a gritos
Mientras mis labios callan sobre la tierra.
Absent angel
-------------------------
Hey angel- you're my demon
The elixir of your lips
Has turned into a venom for my soul
Night after night it runs through me
Wearing the ever present body of your absence
Like death, like torture
Hey angel- you're my demon
Angel ausente
---------------------------
Angel eres mi demonio
El elixir de tus labios
Se ha vuelto veneno en mi alma
En el cuerpo siempre presente de tu ausencia
Noche tras noche me tortura y mata
Angel eres mi demonio
-----------------------------------------------
Cama en el mar
Un beso- ánfora de vino rojo
Una piel- leve sabor a lluvia
Unos ojos- fuego de luna
Un sol de sueño azul
Una cama profunda en el mar
Unos amantes levitando
Un aroma vuelto poesía
Una noche -húmeda -vertiginosa
Unos cuerpos unidos-éxtaciados
Un mundo nuevo creado
Una palabra inmortal pronunciada
Unos amantes levitando
Un vuelo nocturno en el mar.
Sea bed
One kiss a red wine chalice
One light rain tasting skin
Two eyes with a moon beams fire
One blue dream sun
One bed in the deep sea
Two lovers levitating
One aroma turned into poetry
One night humid-spiraling
Two bodies joined in ecstasy
One new world created
One immortal word spoken
Two lovers levitating
One deep sea nocturnal flight
Deseo liquido
Deseo el instante de delirio reflejado en tus ojos
Que son piedras de onyx encendidas por el fuego dorado de mis manos.
Deseo tu cuerpo de espuma y de nácar, para esculpir el mío de arena y agua.
Liquid desire
What I desire is to see delirium reflected in your eyes
Your eyes, that are like onyx stones lit by the golden fire of my touch.
What I desire is your body turned into sea froth and nacre
So I may sculpt mine into sand and into water.
Nea
Despierto en los brazos de la noche
Acariciando la palidez de la luna
Respirando el perfume vivo de las estrellas
Esperando hundirme profunda en sus caderas nuevas
Libres aun del aroma de los narcisos en primavera.
Por la ventana llega a cubrirme la sombra tímida de la palabra
Fragmentado ya todo este silencio, quedan bailando en mi piel
Las huellas susurrantes de cada beso
Ahora cuando duerme el sol, mas allá de los faros al borde del océano,
Recuerdo yo esa embriaguez primera
de miel oscura y nocturna entre tus caderas nuevas.
Nea
(Ever have a night in the arms of a virgin goddess? )
I awaken in the arms of the night
Caressing the pale moonlight
Breathing in the living aroma of the stars
Awaiting to sink myself so deeply within your unused hips
They are still so new and free from the smell of the narcissus of spring.
Through my window comes in the timid shadow of the word
This whole silence has been fragmented, on my skin the memory
Of each kiss continues whispering and dancing
So now when sun lies down to sleep, beyond the beacons, right at the edge of the ocean
I remember that first time drunkenness
Borne of the nocturnal dark honey that lay in between your unused hips.
Poeta
Poeta: bohemio, amigo mío
Loco perdido
Ingenuo caminante
Cazador de la palabra esquiva
Aquella que es la musa desconocida
Desahógate amigo
O desgárrate en el silencio
Divaga por otros mundos
Este no te pertenece
Esta tierra es ajena al misterio de la belleza
El lector nunca comprenderá
La tristeza de tus manos
Ni la fatiga de tus dedos
Tu pluma son tus ojos
El papel es tu amante
Es también el vacío inefable
Busca si quieres la anhelada inmortalidad
Y encuentra la copa del vino cínico
Y el poema baldío a medio terminar.
Poet
(Tara as poet comes to mind)
Poet: bohemian friend of mine
Lost and insane
Naïve traveler
Hunter of the evasive word
She who is an unknown muse
Give rein to your creation
Or be torn apart by your silence
Roam through other worlds
This one is not your own
This earth shuns the mystery of hidden beauty
The reader shall never understand
The sadness in your hands
Nor the tiredness of your fingers
Your eyes are your writing pen
The paper is your lover
It's also your ineffable emptiness
Search if you wish, for the coveted immortality
And find the goblet of the cynical wine
And the barren poem of wasted time.
Despertando
Tu boca llena de miel es mi borrachera poética
A la luz de una vela roja.
Viene la media noche al balcón que habito
Te estoy esperando para tomar, para saciar mi sed.
Estoy esperando el jardín mágico que hay en tus manos.
No llegas, no vienes y la luna se marcha ya
Va a dormitar abrazada a las espaldas del sol naciente.
Y yo aquí sola, despierto con la canción de las primeras sombras
Suenan en el aire melodías ebrias, derramadas en un papel
Destrozado ya por la razón de la mañana.
Awakening
(With this one I see Tara thinking of willow in the waking hours,when the defenses of reason are down)
Your mouth full of honey is my poetic drunkenness
by the light of a red candle.
Midnight comes to the balcony where I live
I await to drink from you to ease my thirst
I await to receive the magical garden of your hands
You're not here, you're not coming and the moon is taking flight
It's leaving to sleep at the back of the rising sun's embrace
And here I lay alone, awakened to the song of the first shadows
They sing in the air the inebriated melodies that spill forth on this page
That will be destroyed by the mornings reasoning where all is sane.
Solitario
Déjame tu permanencia
Llévate mi yo solitario
Nómbrame y bautízame otra vez
Trae el calor a este invierno
Calma esta tormenta de hastío
Dame de comer orquídeas púrpura
Dame de beber sortilegios
Cuéntame fábulas de semidioses desnudos
Y quédate en este tu sitio
Mi hogar
Mi exilio
Alone
(I can see willow saying something like this to Tara, cause this is about redemption through love)
Leave me your presence
Take my lonesome self
Name me and baptize me again
Bring the fire to this winter
Calm this storm of weariness
Feed me purple orchids
Give me to drink magical brews
Tell me the ancient tales of nude demigods
And stay where you belong
Your place
My home
My exile
Si yo soy
Yo soy la loca
La vagabunda
La solitaria
La perversa
La alcohólica
La mala
El ángel negro de alas empantanadas
La que no quiere nada
Todo
Ni a ti
Egoísta que castiga sin piedad
La irónica
La cínica
La obtusa
Sobretodo y después de todo
La que tu mas amas
Amaras
Y jamas tendrás.
Yes I am
(MMMHHH...This one I don't know about it's the dark side of everyone I suppose)
Yes I am the crazed one
The wanderer
The lonely
The perverse
The drunk
The bad seed
The dark angel with dirty wings
The one who wants nothing
Everything
Not even you
An ego maniac who likes to punish without mercy
The ironic one
The cynic
The obtuse
Besides that and after all that
The one you that love the most
Shall always want
Will never have
---------------------------------------
Well I'm at it again here are two more the first one I can see both of them saying it or thinking something akin to it about one another.
The second is very nuch willow on one of those sleepless nights of magic and Tara withdrawl.
Sin tiempo
Pueden pasar si quieren las horas, los siglos, los milenios...
El tiempo no importa te amare igual
Contigo los segundos se renuevan, el momento no envejece
La historia no se marchita al pasar
Tu permaneces a pesar del péndulo inmutable
En mi devenir
La nada y el todo se desvanecen en nosotras -abrazadas-
Una y otra ves renace este amor pulsante
Tu yo hace eco en mi ser
Cada instante dejas en mi tu memoria imborrable
La huella indeleble
Eres para mi como las estrellas -brillante, única, mítica y eterna-
Las eras pueden nacer y morir
Y tu mi amor sin tiempo -permanecerás en mi-
Ageless
The hours, the centuries, the millenniums may pass if they wish
Time does not matter, I will love you through them all the same
The seconds renew themselves in your presence, the moment does not age
History does not wither in its passing
You remain intact in me as the pendulum sways
The nothing and the absolute vanishes within our embrace
This pulsating love is reborn time and time again
Your being echoes within my spirit
Every instant you remain leaves a memory that cannot be erased inside me-
An indelible print
You are like a star to me -brilliant, unique, mythical and eternal
Eons may be born, eras may die
And you my love shall remain in me ageless in time.
Sala para un insomne
Luna nueva de mi vida y muerte -insomnio interminable-
Ella canta a mi blues con el saxo en la ventana
Cada nota me toca y derrumba el cielo azul de mi locura desafinada
La calle humea bajo la luz del farol, esta mojada y pálida
Esta habitación es un sol negro, un desierto de fantasmas
La fiera en su jaula de oro ruge y ruge aislada
Su amo pinta graffitis con sangre en los muros lúgubres.
Estas palabras son miradas al asfalto, espejos para las horas perdidas
Para las almas vendidas Y las caras vencidas
Esta cama vacía no es refugio, es pesadilla - de mi infierno la antesala-
Living room for an insomniac
New moon rising of my life and death - never ending insomnia-
She sings my blues with a sax by the window sill
Each note she plays touches and destroys the blue sky of my tone deaf insanity
The street is smoky and wet under the pale light
This room is a black sun, a desert for tired ghosts
The isolated beast rages from within it's golden cage
Her master paints graffitis of blood upon a luxury wall
These words are a glance to the walk way, mirrors for the lost hours
For the long gone souls and defeated faces
This bed now empty is not my refuge, it's a night mare
My own room in hell for waiting.
-----------------------------------------------
Hi here's another I think It's more Willow thinking about what she's lost but it could go either way. There are great loves that cause us great pain to the point where we lose everything that we are, or at least that's what it may feel like for a while.
No vivo- No soy
Sin ti no vivo
Apenas respiro
Como podría vivir sin ti
Si te llevas contigo todo lo que yo soy?
Como sentir la piel
Si te llevas mi pasión entre tus dedos?
Como respirar
Si te llevas tu el aire vital que hace al corazón palpitar?
Como puedo ver
Si no puedo mirar el mundo atraves del azul de tus ojos?
Como puedo beber
Si solo tus labios me causan sed?
Como puedo alimentarme
Si solo tus pechos despiertan en mi la primitiva hambre?
Como moverme
Si no hay futuro hacia donde caminar sin ti?
Si piensas dejarme para siempre
Concédeme un ultimo favor
Envíame rosas rojas para que me acompañen en la tumba
Porque sin ti no vivo
Apenas respiro
No tengo ni espíritu
Sin ti, no soy yo.
I'm not living- I'm not me
How can I live without you
If you take with you all that I am?
How can I feel my skin
If you take my passion entwined in your finger tips?
How can I breathe
If you take the with you the vital air that makes my heart beat?
How can I see
If I can't look at the world through the blue of your eyes?
How can I drink
If I only thirst for your lips?
How can I feed
If my primal hunger is only awakened between your breasts?
How can I move
If there is no future to walk towards without you?
If you're thinking of forever leaving
Grant me one last request
Send red roses to accompany me in my grave
Because without you I'm not living
I'm barely breathing
I'm less than soulless
Without you
I'm not me.
----------------------------------------------------
This is something that's been on my mind magic and love...usually leads to hot, maybe it's just twisted little me.
Don't be shy let me know what you think, even if you think it sucks,I'm a feedback ho'
This time it's more Tara on willow (He, that sounded alot less naughty in my head)
Xita thank you, I don't know how you find the time to comment on everybodys work.
Kitty17, thank you too and yes I'd be happy to help you translate, you may e-mail me at latinnika@yahoo.es
Templo Pagano
Camino sin sendero fijo bajo mis pies
Pienso en ti y mi mirada cambia,
volviéndose espejo de herejías y locuras continuas
eres el dilema, la tormenta nueva en medio de la calma
cuanto anhelo ahogarme entre tus labios
beber de ellos como en copas del vino mas fino y escaso
intoxicarme con tu aroma,
perderme extasiada recorriendo con el aliento tu felina espalda
saborear sin fin el mar que hay en tu cuerpo
mordiendo tu piel como a la manzana fresca que nos condeno a todos al infierno
encontrar de nuevo el paraíso al atravesar con fuego tus ojos lunáticos
unir la humedad de mi lengua con la sed de mis dedos
para preparar el temblor pálido que nace entre tus senos
y recorre las rutas de nácar y dulce sal por donde pasan
los espasmos frenéticos hasta culminar entre las piernas
allí es donde empieza y termina la noche
allí es donde nacen las poesías y las melodías azules
allí es donde nace el deseo teñido de rojo
entre las sabanas vivimos para escalar hacia este delirio místico
la cama es el templo donde te venero
aquí devoro la realidad y la fantasía de la quimera
finalmente después del grito viene el descanso
aunque entre tus muslos aun siento ese ritmo rapsódico y divino
que hacen de tu cuerpo mi templo pagano.
Pagan Temple
I walk with an uncertain path under my feet
I think of you and the expression of my eyes undergoes a change
It turns into a mirror where heresy and madness can be reflected
You are the dilemma the new storm amiss the calm
How I wish to drown between your lips
drink from them like they were cups of the finest and scarcest wine
Intoxicate myself with your aroma
Lose myself in the ecstasy of caressing your feline back with only my breath
Taste the endless sea that is your body
Bite your skin like the fresh apple that did condemn us all to this hell
Find again that lost paradise by trespassing with fire your lunatic eyes
Joining the wetness of my tongue with the thirst of my fingers
To pave the way of the pale tremors that are borne in valley of your breasts
And travel the routes of nacre and sweet tasting salt where
The frenetic spasms run through until reaching their final destination
The inner thighs the in between
Where the night is a beginning not an ending
Where blue melody and poetry is born
Where desire is tainted red
In between the sheets we live to scale towards the mystical delirium
The bed is the temple where I worship you
Here I devour reality and the chimerical fantasy
At last after the scream comes the peace
Even if in between your thighs I still feel all that rhythm of the rhapsody divine
That's the rhythm that makes your body my pagan temple.

Thank you pixie
here's the translation to warrior and a couple more ramblings, I'm kind of bummed out these days so bear with me it's all about being lost and confused. I do have a tendency to indentify with Willow's current situation more than with Tara I guess it's cause I've sort of been there myself.
Guerrero
Con ser un guerrero exaltado soñé
Para probar mi valor dragones batallé
Afilada mi espada, impenetrable mi armadura
Intocable mi corazón
Indomables mis ojos
Hacia mil y uno horizontes de nieve marche
Estoica-sola
Un día al alba amanecí
Para a lo lejos la suplica de una dama oír
Entonces por aquella voz de sirena sucedió
El hechizo de invierno sobre mi puesto se quebranto
Por su belleza me atrevo a soñar una fantasía nueva
Mi nuevo camino de justicia por sus rosas perfumado
La luz desde las tinieblas se ha engendrado
Mi espada a sus pies poso
Mi armadura por ella he despojado
Ya no batallo
Esta guerra termino, encuentro aquí mi paz
Allí esta ella por la luz del sol envuelta
Esperando la magia bajo el naranjo
Ojos arcanos
Labios jugosos
Cielo vertiginoso
Manos que tejen serenas de mi destino los hilos
De las cenizas levantan mi vida
Desplazando la ruina
Construyendo en su lugar un palacio nuevo
Un templo sagrado donde yace el hielo del dragón muerto
Y el amor reina santificado con el caballero de fuego.
Warrior
Of being an exalted warrior I did dream
To prove my worth dragons I did battle
Sharp was my sword, undented was mine armor
Untouched was my heart
Unruled were my eyes
Towards a thousand and one horizons
Stoic I did alone arise
Till one dawn I did awake
To hear from a far a ladies plea
So it came to be that by that sirens voice
Was broken the spell of winter placed upon me
And by her beauty I dared to dream a new fantasy
My new path of justice paved by her perfumed roses
Light was borne from the dark knight
My sword laid by her feet
My armor by her shed
I no longer battle- I breathe
This war is over, I found my peace
There she is by sunlight enraptured
Awaiting the magic under the orange tree
Arcane eyes
Juice filled lips
Vertigo skies
Serene hands that weave my fate by their will
They’ve taken my life from the lairs ashes
Displacing the ruins
Constructing in their place a new palace
A sacred temple where a dragons ice dies
And love reigns within the knights kingdom of fire sanctified.
The bed
Time in a time less age
I cross incomplete through the rain
Noise and inconcrete voices
No harmony anywhere
deep in some forest incoherence rises
black suns fall to the earth
it’s a grand day to sleep away –insomnia-
La cama
Tiempo en la era del destiempo
Atravieso incompleta la lluvia
Ruidos y voces inconcretas
Nada armoniza
La incoherencia crece en algún bosque
El sol negro cae sobre la tierra inconforme
Es un buen día para dormir –insomne-
Cicatriz
Mis heridas son el hábitat
De todos mis sueños perdidos.
Scar
My wounds are a home
for all my lost dreams.
---------------------------------------------------
I've erased warrior I'm giving it a little touch up.
A thank you to all the kittens who take the time to comment specially pixie & cachaco, you've been extra nice and insightful *hugs*
Here's more, I was on an Insomnia rampage last night, thinking about love and forgiveness, so these a less dark, more on the hopeful side...hope you like.
Volver
Que frágil es el retorno después de una ruptura
Los rastros se recogen pedazo por pedazo
El cuerpo con alivio suspira
El dolor se acalla
es la esperanza viva
La aflicción inmóvil se deshace entre la piedra acuática
El apetito crece y reclama su antiguo lugar
En la plenitud de aquel cuerpo ausente
Navíos perdidos se reencuentran en la piel
La voz se vuelve una humareda perfumada
Y el pasado sepultado con las manos se aparta
La nostalgia es lejana y serena
El ahora cobra fuerza bajo la manta
Bajo la luz apagada cubierta de noche
Encima del fuego ardiente de todo lo que pasa
Lo que no se dice se guarda en el aliento
Se jadean los nombres que matan sin tiempo
Empiezan a evocar los dioses
A escalar los temblores
De aquellos antiguos y nuevos montes
La madrugada llega y ahí esta el amor, luz renovada
La prisión de lo perdido en el vacío del perdón desechada
La vida vuelve a dos amantes en calma
Return
How fragile is the return after a rupture
The pieces are picked one by one
The body exhales in relief
The pain is silenced
They must believe
The unmoving affliction is unmade within a water’s stone
Appetite rises to claim its rightful place
In the wholeness of the absent bodies flesh
Lost ships sailing on skin are reunited
The voice is made into a smoky perfume
And the past is buried and by the hands set aside
fate and desiny moving in tune
Nostalgia is both serene and afar
The now gains force under the covers
Under the dimming of light
Over the fire of everything that happens
Under the cover of night
What is not said is guarded by sacred breath
Names are spelled without time by the bodies writhing
They address Gods in their speak
They scale the tremors
Of those old and new mountain peaks
The morning comes and the prison of loss is undone
by the light of forgiveness renewed is love
their lives returned, two lovers rest
peace has finally come to them
Déjame
Por el veneno de tus labios déjame morir
En el enigma de tu laberinto déjame vivir
En el perfume de tu aroma déjame perderme
En lo profundo de tus ojos déjame encontrarme
En la brevedad de este tiempo déjame amarte
Allow me
By the poison of your lips let me die
By the enigma of your labyrinth let me live
In the perfume of your aroma let me be lost
In the deep of your eyes let me be found
In this brief space of time allow me to love you now.
-----------------------------------------
Thank you to fuzz and pixie. Warrior is back up with a tiny change.
Here's a some more again with the yearning burning sensation that's left when someone we still love is near yet so very-very far.
What is worse than that is the knowledge that we had the power to have them remain and instead chose another path. I so feel Willow's pain.
Todo lo que soñé- todo lo que perdí
Tus manos que cultivan jardines naranja
Tus pies que alimentan la tierra con la luz de cada paso
Tus ojos que cuentan la historia del siglo
Tu sonrisa que reta la razón de la ciencia
La tempestad de tu serenidad
Lo oculto de tu transparencia
El equilibrio de tus raíces
Todas aquellas cosas que venero y extraño
Ahora demasiado tarde es que entiendo
Todo lo que soñé
Todo lo que enjaulé
todo lo que deje escapar
y todo lo que he perdido
mi llanto da testimonio de ello – mi conocimiento tardío-
con mis manos tejí este destino
con ellas llevo este peso
envenené el pozo sin dejar para mi antes el ultimo sorbo
convertí el oro en polvo
ahora en ves de tu carne de las cenizas como
todo lo que soñé todo lo que perdí
se resume en ti.
All that I dreamt- all that I lost
Your hands that tended to orange gardens
Your feet that fed the earth with the light of every step
You eyes that can tell the centuries tale
Your smile that challenges reason and science
The tempest of your serenity
The occult in your clarity
The balance of your roots
All the things I cherish and miss
Now too late I comprehend
All that I dreamt
All that caged
All that I let escape me
And all that I’ve lost
My tears bear witness to it –my tardy understanding-
With my hands I weaved this fate
With them I carry this burden
I poisoned the well without saving the last drink for myself
I turned gold to dust
Now instead of your flesh I feed on ashes
All that I dreamt all that I lost
Comes down to this –you my love-
Another day
Sit in the bedroom and think
that’s your presence still lingering here
that’s your perfume on the pillow
that’s your touch in the air
so far…
so near…
I can almost…but you disappear
can’t touch
can’t hear
the lights are down
where are you now?
Every sad song has your name
Every dance ends just the same
You’re not coming again, I fear
So it ends without you
Another day another night my dear.
Otro día
Sentada en la alcoba pensando
Sigues aquí desde la ausencia
Ese es tu perfume en la almohada
Esas tus caricias en el aire
Tan lejos
Tan cerca
Casi puedo...y te desapareces luego
No te toco
No te oigo
La luz se apaga
Donde estas?
Cada balada triste lleva tu nombre
Cada pieza de baile termina igual
Mucho me temo que ya no vendrás
Otro día mas empieza y termina otro mas.
Opté
Opté por callar
Hasta no pensar
Hasta no sentir
Nada por ti
I chose
I chose not speak a word
Until I can stop thinking
Until I can stop feeling
Until there’s nothing left of you in me

So again it comes down to pain and questions, lot's of questions. The road home is not that easy to find sometimes. You know what I mean kittens?
I’m Gasoline
running on empty
Death has many faces
Tonight it wears the guise of time.
Gasolina
Mi tanque esta vacío
La muerte cambia de caras
Hoy lleva el tiempo como mascara.
Questions?
How do I ease this ache for you?
Shall I forget?
Shall I remember?
Will you run if I hide?
Will we find each other in time?
How do I ease this ache for you?
Shall I drink till I drown?
Shall I perish from thirst?
Will you come if I don’t call?
Will this silence break my screams?
Will you still love me, when even I can’t forget
And forgive me?
Preguntas?
Como alivio este dolor por ti?
Debo olvidar?
Debo recordar?
Tu correrás si yo me escondo?
Nos encontraremos a tiempo?
Como alivio este dolor por ti?
Debo beber hasta ahogarme?
Debo morir primero de sed?
Vendrás aun si no te llamo?
Quebrantara el silencio todos mis gritos?
Me amaras , cuando yo no pueda ni perdonarme
Ni olvidarme de mi?
Can’t sleep ever
Can’t sleep the monster’s under my bed
Frantic howling
Vampire’s roaring
The queen has come the king is dead
Blood is burning
Need is rising
Lover’s parting
The heart is shattering
My window of pain
I sing the night song
I come undone
I wonder awake
How is it that I walk living but dead?
Poe is smiling at my dilemma
The heart is shattering
My window of pain
I sing the night song
I come undone.
Dormir nunca puedo
Dormir nunca puedo{ hay un monstruo que habita bajo la cama}
Frenéticos aullidos
Vampiros gritando
Viva la reina ha muerto el rey
Arde la sangre
Escala el hambre
Se van los amantes
El corazón desgarra
mi ventana de dolor quebranta
Yo canto a la noche
Ahí me deshago yo
Pregunto despierta
Como camino a la ves tan viva y tan muerta?
Poe se sonríe por mi dilema
El corazón desgarra
mi ventana de dolor quebranta
Yo canto a la noche
Ahí me deshago yo.
Across the room
There I saw you across the room
First divine sight for my beauty depraved eyes
So much light to contrast my darkness
So much soul I ache in my body
And you and I can say nothing
After all those nights of tales of fancy
Did we run out of words to say?
Is the air charged electric?
Am I alone in this silent yearning?
Is it the you I remember?
Am I the one you expect?
These eyes serve but one purpose
Seeking you out across the room
Across time and distance
Across the pain and the chasm
I have caused, I know.
There you are across the room
Why there?
Why not here in my arms?
I’m waiting for you
Do you know that?
There you are across the room
Tell me how to reach you
Don’t use words
We don’t need them
Let me build a bridge without stones or wood
Let me sing to odes to you
Why can’t I touch my fondest desire?
There you are an ocean away, across the room.

Hello I'm back, sorry. I've been thinking about me and the girls and the horrible rumors going around. Be warned: Some possible spoilage and much darkness ahead. Also some mush, cause I'm a big mush-ball at heart.
This is from hushed up to recent events.
The first meeting the doubts, the surrender and the loss.
Hushed
Some destiny interweaved with fate
On a different night different paths to take
Suddenly hushed and I am touched by the voice of your eyes
Hands reaching, an electric undercurrent cannot be denied
Drowning in the knowledge that I have found you
The monsters fade at the door because I have you
I have fallen without walking
I have lost my words, to you I’ll surrender
Speech, sight, taste and touch
Take my senses they are yours
My heart, will you remember?
The hunter is now the hunted
Haunted by the ghost of your presence and absence
How I need you tonight and all nights
Sorceress of my light
Empress of my desire
Jade princess under a canopy of fire
I need not fight
This cannot be denied
You have all that I am, both wrong and right
You hold the promise of who I can be
Your essence exudes everything magic
Your body completes me
Your colors hold me captive
Call me, my princess song
I shall come to you before the day is born
Destiny and fate
I have found you
Falling-fallen
I surrender
My heart
Tonight
All nights
My empress
princess song
Come to me before the day born.
En silencio
Destino y lo escrito
Escoger pude esa noche entre dos caminos
Todo en silencio, es la voz de tus ojos la que me toca
Las manos se enlazan y su química-eléctrica no puede ser negada
Me ahogo con el saber de que te he encontrado
Los monstruos se desvanecen el la puerta porque te he encontrado
Me caigo sin tomar un solo paso
Perdí mis palabras ante ti me rindo
Lenguaje, vista, tacto y apetito
Tuyos son todos mis sentidos
Mi corazón, te acordaras
El cazador es ahora la presa
Perseguida tanto por tu ausencia como presencia
Te necesito tanto esta noche y todas las noches
Hechicera de luz
Emperatriz de mi deseo
Princesa de jade bajo un manto de fuego
No necesito la lucha
Esta no es una batalla
Tienes todo lo que soy, bueno y malo
Tienes la promesa de quien puedo ser
Tu sola esencia exhala magia
Tu cuerpo me completa
Tus colores me atrapan
Llámame, mi canto de sirena
Vendré a ti antes que amanezca un nuevo día
Destino y camino
Te he encontrado
Cayendo -caído
Yo me rindo
Mi corazón
Esta noche
Todas las noches
Canto de sirena
Ven a mi antes que nazca un nuevo sol.
From Willow's point of view since her magic addiction and Tara leaving her.
Storm
There is a deluge falling upon my kingdom
Dark clouds color the horizon
I sit on my throne made of silver and sorrow
prayers are not made nor answered
The wind speaks of saddened spirits –ancient omens-
That tell the secrets of the deep
The past returns to haunt us
And the future weeps.
Tormenta
Cae un diluvio sobre mi reino
El horizonte trae nubes oscuras
Me siento sobre el trono de lamento platinado
Las suplicas ni se hacen ni se escuchan
El viento habla de almas tristes –oráculos antiguos-
Que cuentan los secretos de lo profundo
El pasado vuelve para atormentarnos
Y el futuro estalla en llanto.
Willow's rumored fall into even deeper darkness. The good-bye to all she is.
viaje
Zarpé en una nave de olvido
Una tarde de verano frío
Empaque en mis ojos el hastío
Deje a mi gente sin un adiós
Rompí los mapas y extravié el compás
Me eche a caminar para no mirar atrás.
Travel
On a ship of forgetfulness I sailed away
On a cold summers day
I packed my weariness in my eyes
I left my people without one goodbye
I tore the maps and lost the compass
I walked away to not look back.
Sin titulo
Prefiero dormir de día
Darle la espalda al sol
La cara a la luna
La noche despierta mis ojos
Nací para vestirme de oscuridad.
Untitled
I prefer to sleep at daytime
Turn my back to the sun
Face the moon
The night awakens my eyes
I was born to wear the darkness.
Dark child
I’m a child vampire who sees the beauty in the winter’s night
Not in the flowery gardens of summer where adults prefer to lay their sight.
Infante oscuro
Soy un infante vampiro que ve la belleza en la noche de invierno
no en el los jardines de flores de verano donde los adultos prefieren morar.
This is from when they met awkwardly at Buffy's birthday bash. So strange and sweet at the same time.
Strength in the tempest
Doors open and close from sight. Amongst the rain and the tempest
One opened to let you into my saddened home tonight: my heart
that is this house that speeds in red streaks strangled without a voice.
My words faltered at your beauty standing by the threshold
My hands wondered without aim because they’ve lost you as a final destination
You’re here but I can’t hold you
I’m here but you can’t touch me
We’re closer than the same heart beat, closer than the same breath
But I’m still enraptured in the darkness, the sun has not arisen yet
I feel the blackness calling, coming so near
But the promise of you is all I can hear
This night of rain and tempest let my strength be you.
Fuerza en la tormenta
Hay puertas que se cierran y otras que se abren ante los ojos
Una se abrió esta noche de diluvios y tormenta
para dejarte pasar a este, mi triste morar
un corazón rojo que late estrangulado y no puede hablar.
Me falta el aire cuando te miro
Me fallan las palabras cuando cruzas el umbral
Mis manos pierden su rumbo por no tenerte a ti como destino
Aquí estas pero no puedo tenerte
Aquí estoy pero no puedes tocarme
Estamos tan cerca como un latido, como una sola respiración
Aun estoy en las tinieblas, aun no sale el sol
Escucho el llamado de lo oscuro
Pero solo atiendo la voz de la promesa que eres tu
Esta noche de diluvios y tormenta mi fuerza eres tu.
I think of Willow standing around waiting to 'accidentaly' bump into Tara.
Ecuentro
Te encuentro y me acuerdo de ti
Esta ciudad se abre para que yo pueda buscarte.
Es que muero de hambre, de un deseo voraz que solo tu puedes saciar.
Tu cuerpo se hizo a mi medida, ahora que te veo me acuerdo.
Me acuerdo de cuando y cuanto vivía.
Porque ahora solo muero al verte a la distancia
Me imaginé que encontraría aquí o allá un día.
Y aquí estas pero no me ves.
Aquí estoy, mírame solo una vez.
Cuanto deseo que te lleves esta soledad mía en la mirada tuya.
Pero te vas, ahí vas y yo de nuevo sola.
Me estas matando, lentamente voy agonizando.
Devórame, llévate este llanto.
Moldéame a tu imagen y semejanza si quieres
Pero no te vallas, no te vallas mas. No camines tan lejos de aquí.
El tiempo se hizo para romperlo
Ahí vas a lo lejos
No me escuchaste a caso?
No oíste como dejó de latir mi corazón?
No oyes acaso como te suplico de rodillas desde esta orilla de silencio?
Claro que no, aligeras tu paso y te alejas.
No corras tan ágil amor. Me estas matando suavemente con cada paso amor.
Running into you
I see you and I remember
This city opened itself so I could find you
It’s just that I’m starving
I have this voracious desire that only you can satisfy
Your body was made for molding perfectly into mine
Now that I see you I remember this.
I remember when and how much I lived
Now I only die, when I see you so far
I imagined I would run into you here or there
And here you are, but you can’t see me.
Here I am. Look at me if only once, please.
How I wish for you to take this loneliness away in your gaze.
But you’re going, you’re on your way and here I stay alone again.
You’re killing me, I’m in slow, dying agony.
Devour me. Take these tears with you.
Mold my imperfect self into your image and likeness if you wish.
Just don’t leave. Don’t take any more steps that will take you away from me.
Time was made to be broken.
There you go into the far distance
Can’t you hear me?
Can’t you hear how my heart has stopped beating?
Can’t you hear how I fall to my knees from the edges of silence to plead with you?
Of course you don’t hear me.
You quicken your pace and walk away.
Don’t run so fast love. You’re killing me softly with each step, love.
This one is from either point of view.Truthfully my gf inspired it, but I think it suits the girls nicely.
She
She is the water and the earth
She is the kiss and the longing
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the wind and the serpent
She is the wine and the thirst
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the birth and the going away
She is the loneliness and the multitude
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the door and the bed
She is the night and the sun
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the forest and the street
The music and the silence
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the word and the void
She is the eyes and the hands
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end.
She is the honey and the salt
She is the flesh and the spirit
My whole universe unfolding
The beginning and the end of this.
Ella
Ella el agua y la tierra
Ella el beso y el anhelo
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella la serpiente y el viento
Ella el vino y la sed
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella el nacimiento y la partida
Ella la soledad y la multitud
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella la puerta y la cama
Ella la noche y el sol
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella el bosque y la calle
Ella la música y el silencio
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella la palabra y la nada
Ella los ojos y las manos
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin.
Ella la miel y la sal
Ella cuerpo y alma
Mi universo entero
El principio y el fin de todo esto.
This is another one about longing and absence.
Garden bed of echoes
Here in this garden bed I grow echoes
Come and allow me to make the late stars fertile again.
Let your aroma of oranges and narcissus soak right through the pillow.
Allow me to sail you away towards the wavy shores of pleasure.
Allow me then to remind you of the first ebbs of this love.
For I inhale and exhale your constant memory.
Here you are immortalized in this forest oleo fresco.
This is my fable, my only dance, my only song and my only harvest.
Jardín de ecos
Aquí en este jardín cultivo ecos.
Ven de nuevo y déjame fertilizar las tardías estrellas.
Enjuga la almohada de tu aroma de naranjos y narcisos.
Déjame aquí desde el jardín llevarte hacia los navíos de gozo ondulante.
Déjame desde aquí recordar los primeros brotes de este amor.
Inhalo y exhalo tu recuerdo constante.
Aquí estas plasmada inmortal en este óleo fresco del bosque.
Esta es mi fábula, mi única danza, mi único canto y mi único cultivo.
Well that's it for now. I've ranted and tortured everyone enough I think. Public stoning schedules will be open Monday thru Friday after 12 0'clock.
