The Walk

 A life is like a walk.

You start somewhere

And build your own path

One step at a time

One feet in front

The other behind

And on you go

Enjoying the view

Somedays

Struggling sometimes

But never stop

Go on go on

Until the very end

The Mask. Has Fall off

 That mask that you wear

Has fall off

And I can see underneath

The real you

I can see your two faces

One is sweet 

And child like

The other is cold

Like the ice

And you cover both

With your mask

To hide and protect

That inner child....

Checking Out

 Sometimes

We must check out

From what does not serve us

Anymore

Walking away 

Brings a peaceful feeling

To the soul....

Leaving behind

The unfairness

Taking back the power

Standing tall and proud

Of who you truly are...

La Rosa Muerta

 La flor en el jardin

Adornaba la tarde

Cada dia

De cara al sol

Te esperaba

Mas tu no la veias

Paso el verano

Y un dia

El frio la conjelo

Y petalos de hielo

Cayeron poco a poco

Cubriendo la tierra

De rojo

Un dia al fin saliste

A ver el jardin

Y notaste

La rosa muerta

De golpe recordaste

Lo hermosa que era

Cuando empezo 

La primavera

Y lloraste muy tarde

Las rosas muertas

No regresan.

Letter to the Wind

 Dear wind:

It has been 2 years

Of storms that come

And go...

2 years of pain 

And sadness

It is time to say good bye

And see you fly away

The way you run

Away

It is time

To free myself

And soar above

The sky...

To rise above

The mountains

And play under

the clouds

And be myself...

The Queen of hearts!

The Star and the Firefly

Once upon a time there was a tiny firefly that lived in the woods. Every night when the sun went down she wondered out of her special place and browsed her surroundings. She founded the world around amazing and breathtaking.  She found special joy in admiring a bright star and secretly loved her. Every night the firefly danced her best to try to get the attention of the star. But too bright, too far, too busy, the star ignored the firefly. Finally one night the firefly felt so sad and she cried. Out of nowhere millions of fireflies approached her wondering what was going on. Our little hero was amazed at how bright the place was and how little the star now seemed. Meanwhile the star was pale with envy that night, when she saw something brighter than herself down on earth. What was that? And the star felt finally love in his cold dark heart. But the firefly attention was now with her own kind, and she lived happily ever after. The end.©Gloria

I See You

 Like no one else can

With your ups and your downs

With your light and your darkness

With your truth and your lies

I see you as a beautiful soul

In search for identity

Lonely and lost

In the dessert of life...

And then

 One day

Out of nowhere

There he was

After so many

 rainy days

The sun cameback!

Me Marcho

Mi mano la ofresco una vez

Dos veces, quizas, pero tres?

Solo el amor nos doblega

Y nos convierte en esclavos

De nuestra propia ceguera

Y no vemos las mentiras

Las horas perdidas

En un ser inhumano

Incapaz de sentir

De sonar o de amar...

Y extendemos la mano

Y solo el viento la toca

Y la cerramos vacia....

Y nos marchamos!

The Fool

 Are you him?

The silly fool

That goes and comes

Without balancing

Other's feelings

Other's wants and hopes

Too self centered

For even care...

Well dear fool

Keep doing what you do

I will do me.

At The Moment of Love

 There is a complete surrender

In that split second of love

When you give yourself up

Without hesitation,

 The eyes closed, the heart open

Ready to give and to receive

Abandoning yourself 

Into someone's else power

And you just let it go.

Those blue eyes take control

And all your ego is gone

1

The Whispers on my Head

 Sometimes I feel you are gone

Then I heard you voice again

I feel you like if you were here

I hear your voice

I sense your smell

And i close my eyes

And think you again...

Sometimes...only sometimes.

The Cold Rain

 It always reminds me of you...

The gloomy sky, the chilly wind

The smell of burning wood

In a fire pit...

The quietness of an empty park

The falling leafs

It brings your presence

To my memory...

Forgiveness

 Say Love

That forgiveness

Is the biggest love of all...

Please forgive me

For not walking away

When I should....

For not saying goodbye

When I could

I finally understood...

I will still loving you

In the ethereal world

But in the physical one

I am gone.

That Little Space

 There is a little space

Between you and me

That it is hard to reach

Is this this little distance

The things we say or do

The way we think or act

A gap that is hard to close

A bridge too hard to built

There is this little something

That keep us apart, for good.

Healing

 Like the tree 

you cut

Last autumn

You can bounce back

It takes time

And work

But it can be done

Remember how dead 

He looked then?

Well, he is so green now

Likewise

Love yourself

And rebuild 

And heal

Will power

Will take you there

Trust me...

Being there

Done that!

The Clouds in My Mind

 They should pass

And clarity should reign

Once again...

Those clouds are here

To make me appreciate

The clear skies....

Angel Caido

Me gusta mirarte
Asi dormido
Totalmente relajado
En mi pecho
Cansado de las largas
Cabalgatas
Bajo la luna llena...
Noches de guerras
Declaradas
Angel caido
Hombre de piedra
Pero aqui
Sonando
sobre la almohada
Eres simplemente
Un alma cansada
Reposando
Despues de la faena.

In the Darkest Night

When the sky is dark
And the moon don't shine
Look carefully
and you will see
A tiny star guiding you
in the night
Reach to her
and you should see
Your darkness fade
And a new light
brighten your day!

Like a water

I am letting you go
Like water
between my fingers
That precious liquid
That brings life
To the body
And the soul
But like a river
that run its curse
You must go
And I must stay
For I am the tree
That drinks from you
But does not move
And you are the river
That quench my thirst
But cannot stay...

What She Wanted...

She wanted a soul mate
But you were her twin flame
That burns fast and die
She wanted the holding hands
Under a full moon
The happy laughs
In a sunny beach
The cozy nights
Hugging in front
Of the fire place
She wanted much more
So she walked away
To search for her soul mate!

Irony

I-solation

I am seating under the sun
and I enjoy the sunlight
alone...
Truth is,
it can be nice
to share this moment
but then again
I enjoy a quiet time
as well...

Today I chose you

Today I chose to love you
Not because that crazy passion
That burst like a wild fire
Consuming everything
And leaving nothing...
But because that tranquil
Soft little fire that we lit
And eventually builds
Into a steady warm heat
That we feed with new logs
To keep it going...
I choose to consciously
Nurture that love
It is all it takes
To give it a try.

The Two Princes

There was upon a time two Princes. One was wealthy and handsome. Proud and full of himself. The other was poor and ugly. Proud and full of himself. So you see, there was not much differences between the princes..except for a small detail. While the wealthy prince never gave anything within his wealthy world, the poor prince always gave something within his lacking world. And that may friend is why I loved you. The end.

Love In Such A Way

Love so much
And in such a way
That you can let
The object of your love
Be free to leave
Or stay at it's own will
Love so much
To let it go
Despite how much
It may hurt
Your heart
Because your love
Is such
That it will smile
To see your love
Smiling...
Even if he smiles
In someone's else
Arms...

In The Garden

There is a tiny
Little flower
That returns
Every year
After the deep frost
Is gone.
She grows back strong
And adorns this place
With its sweet smells
And just for few months
She mades the garden
Her home...
Then winter comes
And that flower
Once again is gone
Her name if you ask me
Is love...sweet love...

These Hands

These Hands are empty
They gave so much
They grow tired of giving
Now they rest quietly
Waiting to write a new chapter
In this crazy story of my life
But for now, they are empty!

Hugging the Wind

It is like hugging you
Caressing the leafs
That fly away of my hands
Chasing your shadow
That scapes over and over
In my dreams of clouds
And when I finally
Catch the wind
It changes direction
And is gone again
Like children playing
Tag!

I release

And let it go
For love
Is not control
And as I breath
I let calm in
And I exhale
To let you out
It is not fair
To give it all
And get nothing
In exchange
It is not right
That one single
Silence has the power
To break my heart
Therefore
I am taking
that power
Back...
I am releasing
What I love
In exchange
For my heart!

If Only You Knew

How deep is my love
You would then know
That I could walk a desert
Back and forth
To bring you water
And soothe your thirst...
If only you knew
How much you matter
You would then understand
That my world orbits
Around yours...
If you knew how long
I waited for you
To low my guard
And let you into my heart
Perhaps then you will find
Value in what you receive.
If only...!

The Rain

Is the cleansing power
The healing soothing
Calming caress of nature
That heavens pour
Over our souls
To calm our pain
And laid us to sleep.

Bring me

The sunshine
Caressing my hair
The wind
Kissing my skin
The touch
Of the rain
Over my unclothed
Soul
And the sound
Of your awakened heart
Inside my scars...
Bring me your smile
The rose of your lips
And the garden
Planted by your hands!

Tell Me

If the breeze
Brings to your memorie
The sweet smell of me
And the sound of the night
Sneaks into your dreams
murmuring on your ear
The glorious rythm of my name...
Tell me if for a chance
I occupy a minuscule space
On the vast dimension
Of your guarded heart!

Lejano En Mi Memoria

Se ocultan los
Recuerdos
Me asaltan en
Las no noches
Cual ladrones
Hambrientos
Y me escondo
En mi almoha
Me refugio
En el sueno
Y por unos
Segundos
Me entretengo
En tu cuerpo
Pero la noche
Es corta
Y de pronto
Despierto
Y vuelven
los ladrones
A rondar
Mi memoria!

Every Time I Called

You were an absent being
And you knew I was alone
But you were never there
Even when you heard my cry
For help
You chose to ignore my pain
Where such anger came?
Such coldness of heart?
Such lack of shame?
Where such indiference ?
Even today
In a time when uncertainty
Hits all with wonder and fear
You still so...uncaring?
Well who cares anyways
You are such small human being
Vain and coward
Sad and lame...
I stop calling for you a while ago
After all these years
I finally got it: it was never me
Who was wrong. It was you,
All along!

For Every Tear

For every tear
I have cried
A new rose
Have grow
A new smile
Have adorn
The garden of life
So don't feel sorrow
Don't feel sad
If every tear
Hurted my heart
It was just
A small price
To pay for my laughs...
Joy is coming
After the storm...

All alone

I heard you saying
You feel alone
The world is mad
And you don't know
How long you can
Survive like this!
Oh silly world
I have been alone
An entire life
And have made it through
And so can you!

Smiles

Smiles...are the spice of life
Beautiful white teeth
Iluminating the world
Brightining the darkness
The sadness...the loneliness
Smiles...

Would you?

If I should die today
Would you care?

Would you like to know my name?
Would you wish you know me better?
Would we spend more time together?
Would you answer my call
And stay and hold my hand?
Would you take the time
To dance with me under the stars?
Would you kiss me for once
And pretend to listening at last?

The Door Still Open

My lady
You said
And you offered me
The world
In one second
Then you took it all
When you left...
The door still open...

Sweet smell of Spring

On the air
You can feel
that soft
Sound of
A bird singing
You can taste
The sweet smell
Of the grass
Sprucing
And the sun
Over the skin
Warming
The soul
From the inside
Out...
Spring is here...

Shhhh

Oh human race
You are barely
Worthy
Of yourself
All your dignity lost
Your emptiness of love
Laugh at the face
Of life
You demanding brat
Always asking more
That what you give
Silly, envious, mean,
Ungrateful, greedy,
Jealous piece of...shhh
Just let no say it,
Should we?

I want to see

If there is blood
On my veins...
A heart beat on my chest
Am I a human?
Perhaps I am inhuman..
A being from outer space
A stranger in the road of live
Someone no one cares for
...there must be
no blood on my veins...

Please Don't

Don't look back...
No now...
That I am on my way
To another land
Don't you dare
To care...
No this time.
I am no one
A tear you don't hear
A sight in the night
A soul in despair
But no more...

I. Still Loving You.

Even though I am walking away...
I am looking at the horizon
Looking for a better day...
I am sailing tomorrow
Searching for another place
Where to anchor my sailboat
And start anew once again...
And though I leave behind my love
I take with me what is left...
I will tebuilt, reinvent myself
Leave the past in the past
And move on...even though
I still love you...

In the Desert

Long time ago
Jesus went into the desert
For fourty days
Today
We are forced into de same place
By our greed and lack of love
By our absence of compassion
By our ambition and our disrespect
For life and for our God
I hope that after 40 days
We comeback stronger
And better than before...

In Your Own Way

In your own way
You are a gentleman
A warrior from other times
A heroe that stands war
A conqueror that owns no land

A man that stands proud
Of who he is
And what he wants!

You Are the Wind!

That comes and goes
Everywhere
You caress my hair
For just a second
And then you are gone
Like that cloud
And I never see you again

This Time Around

I'll dance with joy
I'll close my eyes
Under the rain
And laugh at pain
And boo to sadness
I am strong
I am in charge
I say who stay
And who must go.
This time around
I stand alone
And without fear
I face my foes!

The Shadow

He is the shadow
Of who you were meant
To be...
And he wanders
In the nights
Wondering why
He cannot find
What he is
Looking for...
And he cries
Alone sometimes
In the dark
When no one
Hear his soul
Or under the rain
When the thunder
Mixes with his tears
And he hides his
Fears under a mask
An he pretends
That he does not care
But secretly in his heart
He does...his shadow smile
Because she knows...

The red wine

It is sweet
Like a grape
In my mouth
Firm and soft
Like the fruit
Juicy and tasty
Without seeds
And I sip
Just enough
And it taste
Like your love
Drink the wine
In your name
Let the memories
Just get lost!

Little Cloud...

Hence
with each cloud that passes by
Pass as well my life
Playful little white
Puffy bright running
In a spring like sky...

The Quiet Place

It is a special place
Where it gets really quiet
Everything stops
And for a moment
I get suspended in ecstasy
In the infinite power of a second
And then I let everything go
And I empty myself
In that quiet place
Of the mind, the body
And soul...

Looking at Those Eyes...

Looking into those eyes
I see so much sadness
And I feel so much love
That I let go into the wine
Any trace of anger...
Cause deep down in my soul
I know when love is love
You walk away precisely
Because...just because!

This is it

This is me
Nothing more
Nothing less
A walking soul
In the dessert
A leaf
flying in the wind
A grain of earth
A breath
A musical note
A smile
A sweet word
On your ear
A smell that fills
The room with joy
A tear that soothes
The mind
The hands that touch
Your neck
The lips kissing
On your ears
A human holding
The entire world
Over her head...
This is me
Nothing more,
nothing less.
Gloria #spaninglishpoetry

You

You are the one
That is no more
You robed my dreams
Long time ago
You stabbed me
In the soul
And walked away
And even today
You stab me again
When you talk with desdain
To that young man
That once was your child
You worthless
Excuse of human race
Incapable of loving anything
But yourself!

Pieces of Me

There are pieces of me
All over this place I call home...
An old calendar that  matter no more
Old christmas cards from times
That are gone....
Some old toys abandoned in the floor
Pictures to remember those that we love...
There are pieces of me all over
This place !

Under The Skin

Lay our true self
That human being
With the broken wings
And the scars
That searching soul
With the failed dreams
That young kid
That once we were...
Is hidden beneath
The surface
All those emotions
All the desires
All our hopes
The anger
The rage...is all there
But we put on the mask
Of skin and hide again
To prettend we are well...
But we are not!

Dark like the night

Today I am dark
Like a night without moon
Like a stallion wild
And savage
Racing in the wilderness
Of life...
Dark like the pupils
Of my own eyes...

Por un Segundo

Caer del cielo
Y romper la inercia
Del aburrimiento
Y la sensatez
Caer al suelo
Y morir
Por un segundo
Y despues
La nada!

Oh Love!

That shakes
my world
And transform
My days into nights
And my nights into days
Love, that cuts me
Like a knife
And burns me
With your fire
You drag my soul
From heaven
To hell back
and forth
Just to leave me
Waiting for more
Come to my arms
And stay tonight
Rest your head
Over my heart
And just for once
Let me listen
To the quietness
Of your soul
After the storm
Oh love!

The STORY of me

There was long time ago
A little princess
From a far away place
And she had forgotten
Who she was...
So she looked up
For a sign
But all she got was
Misleading lies
You see, this princess was
Also deaf and blind...
And not pretty at all
So she sat down one day
Tired of all the games
And looked within
And there,
she found
Herself again!

Red like the Blood

Of your heart
Is the symbol
Of love...
Perhaps
Is because
When we love
We bleed
Inside
Red like a rose
That cuts our hands
And yet
We insist
In carrying
Her
While her thorns
Encrust
Into our hands
Red...
Love is red
And we bleed
To death
For it...

In that place

Deep down
In the basement
Of the brain
Where I swim
In an ocean
Of Ideas
Dreams
Hopes
Disappointments
Expectations
Feelings
Emotions
Knowledge
Prejudice
Self pitty
Self love
Self esteem
Self respect
Lays the ego...
That evil
Part of me
That hacks me
Sometimes
And makes me
Who I am....
No worries
You too have one!

In the corner

Of the garden
Eve hidded for a while
Feeling lonely
Guilty...and sad
Knowing that
It was all her fault...
Adam was sleeping
Not even a glimpse
Of remorse on his eyes...

The Night Smells like

A garden of roses
Like a river running
Through the mountains
Is the musty smell
Of the deep woods
That runs through
That special place
In neverland
Where our dreams
Come true....
And I walk into that river
With my eyes wide open
And let myself drawn
To the bottom
And the smell of the night
Is now gone...
I close my eyes, now dead
And rest calmly
In the deepest corner
Of the night.

Untouchable!

Sometimes I wish
To reach that brightt star
And hold it tight
To my heart
Until I become her
And then take her place
On the sky
And become untouchable.

Preguntas

Preguntas si me quiero quedar..
Pues la verdad, no se...
Y es que a veces
Lo que tanto nos cuesta
Al final no vale nada...

The Stars in The Sky

Are closer than you
They shine in my night
And they bright
the dark sky
If I look to the high
It almost feel like they smile
And they wake up my heart
All those pieces of red
That you broke
Once again...
The stars in the sky
Just murmur on my ear
Do not worry my dear
And they kiss me
On my cheek
And they say:
Go to sleep
Tomorrow
you start over
Again...

Love and the Dark Tunnel

I gave you
one hundred percent
Of my love
But that
was never enough
You only see
What you wanted
To see
I tried too bring
Some light
to the tunnel
Instead,
you said
That the lights
were
Dimmed
Perhaps
is not dark
In that tunnel
It is you
who is blind
But who am I
to judge?
I am blind too!
So thank you
For throwing me
a flash light
I see much
better now
Let me step out
Of the dark tunnel
Before is too late
I would have taken
Your hand and walk
With you
But you said
You are better
Without me...
Well then
Good bye!

If Anything...

We should be thankful
For the air that allow us
To live...
For the body we have
Our feet that allow us
To walk...
For the sky and the rain
For the stars an the earth
For our friends and our foes
For the learning and for love
We should say thanks
For the life that we live
For the days and the nights
And for even the pain
That we feel in our heart
It means we are alive!

Friends and toes

Hence,
we look at our toes
Insignificant little things
And we think: I can live
Without them...
But when they are gone
Oh dear! Don't we wish
They were part of our bones?
That is how it is
With friends
No that they are insignificant
But they are missed as well!
The true ones, I meant.

You know...

...the good thing
About bad things
happening to you?
 That is when
you find out
Who your true
friends are!
Isn't that wonderful?
Being able to know
Who you truly
Can count on with!

This Madnes That We Call Life

And yet we hold so dear
To our heart
This Oasis
Sorrounded by a desert
Is surreal
And makes me wonder
If we are alive
Or are we dead..
With every day
That passes us by
With every step
That moves us forward
One must ask...
Is this the real world
Or is this in our mind?
Are we slaves of our
Own thoughts?
Prisoners of our souls?
Have we all gone mad?...

I look at you

I look at you
In the distance
And a question
Get stuck
on my throath
When and why
And even how...?
It is nothing
To do with looks
But with the inside
The soul that shines
Through people's
Eyes...
But in your eyes
Something is missing:
The truth.

Por un Beso de Mi Amado...

Besa el nino enamorado
A la madre que lo vela
Besa la abuela amoroza
La cabeza de su nieta
Besa la joven doncella
Al principe de sus suenos
Y hasta una mujer madura
Da la vida por un beso...
Le roba un viejo atrevido
Algunos besos a la vida
Y yo callada lo observo
Y murmuro quedamente
Por un beso de mi amado
Por un beso...que daria!

This Night

Smells like a moon
Dressed up
For the sun...but
He never shows up
He goes around
Playing with clouds
While the moon dances
With the stars
Waiting for him
Every night...
It is not mean to be
She guess...

This War of Mine

My heart
Is bleeding
From
an open wound
And I don't know
How to stop my life
From derailing
Out of control...
I plea to myself
Words of wisdom
That fall on
 deaf ears
I argue with facts
I design in my mind
Strategic ways
To deceive myself
To distract the spirit
But everything fails
I still loosing this war
Oh! Soul of mine
Fight for your life!
Run...hide...
Don't let the archer
Find you disarmed...
In Every war
There are winners
And loosers
But no one wins
In this war of mine!

How Vain

How vain
It is
The human soul
That wanders
In a desert of emotions
Walking in the garden of life
Eye sighting between dead trees
Looking for water
To soothe the thirst
Of the senses...
How vain
To try to soothe the pain
With an endless drink
That never fullfill
The real needs
Of the soul...

Me Parece Tonto

Esperar la primavera
Cuando la nieve cubre
Las plantas muertas
O sonar en verano
Con un otono frio
Cuando el mar te besa
Los pies descalzos
Ah que humana cabeza
Que piensa y piensa
Y nunca agradece
Lo que ofrece la tierra!

A veces Quisiera - Sometimes. I Wish

Beberme la vida
En un segundo...
Drink life in a second...
Y morir de placer
Mirando las estrellas
And die of pleasure
While looking to the
Stars in the sky
Y sonreir cansada
En un suspiro
And smile tired
And sigh
Mientras toco el cielo
Con mis manos
While touching heaven
With my hands.

A Woman of My Own

I have ran
With the wolves
Way too long
It is time to run
On my own
Mark my territory
Set boundaries
And fight with nails
And teeth for
My hunt...
I am nobody's
Woman
But my own.

The Warrior

She seats at the top
Of a mountain
Wounded by thousand
Of wars
And yet she is ready
Strong as ever
Ready to fight
The arrows of lies
The deceiving words
That breaks her heart
Every single time
She still stands
A believer of love
And happiness
She holds her sword
With pride
Because she knows
It is not a lost cause
And she will win the
Final battle!

Your Soul

Its like the wind
It comes and goes
As it pleases
It doesn't ask permission
To enter...
It just breaks in
And then like a tornado
Runs out, leaving behind
Only ruins...

Good. Bye

Because I love you
I say good bye...
Doesn't the beach
Love the waves
And let them go
Anyways?
The trees and flowers
Love the summer
But never stop it
From leaving, do they?
The waves will go
And comeback
As they please
Summer will go
And winter will come
And then Spring
And so on...
But not me. Somethings
Are better to leave alone
Somethings were never
Meant to be!

The Rose

Is like me...
Fragant aroma
That impregnate
The air with her scent
And adorn the garden
With her presence
But if you cut her
Watch out
She will pay you back
As she bleeds her life away
You will bleed as well!

The Love That Never Was

It did born one day
Out of nothing
And nothing it was
Just a feeling
Something
That cannot be touch
Or seeing
Or measured
A space
A tiny voice
In the innerself
Butterflies
In the tummy
Giggles here and there
An utopia that no one
Cares...
I loved you
Out of nowhere...
I loved you yesterday
I loved you not...today
Tomorrow? Maybe
I don't know
And I don't care!

The World

Goes round
and around
And life goes on
Day after day
We die we live
We hate we love
We hope we despair
We persist
Tear after tear
We let our pain
Drain away
Into the river
Of life...
I would wipe
Your tears off
But I cannot...

Those Words

I won't say them
I refuse to even think it
Those three words
That mean so much
I rebel against them
I will not said again
Cause " I love you"
Is a painful truth.

Common Sense

Once upon a time
A little girl did not listened
To common sense...
She got lost in the woods
And found a wolf...
The end!

If you were here

Right now
I would forget
The world
My fears
My sense
Of right
And wrong!
I would
Just see red
Like the bull
Ready to die
In the arena
In front
Of the cruel
Torero.

Against myself

I love you
Like I love
the cold snow
And the ice...
from behind
the window
I love you
Against my own
Wisdom and
common sense
Like a prisoner
Love his chains
Or like a bird
Love her cage
I fight against
This need of you
And I am loosing
The battle...
And you are winning
The war.
I love you
And that is that.

To myself

Have I ever said it? No?
I love you. You are the most important person in my life.
Never forget that.
