Adagio





















No space,
No time,
From the light screen
Your eyes staring at mine.
Your unspoken words my being reach,
Promising musical notes
My whole soul bewitched.
From beyond the Oceans
The pleasant Adagio sounds
Sweet, blue, amorous…
Nothing more ephimerous
Could enfold me so tight,
During day and night.

Gracias Santi:

Creé este poema en inglés y no lo he traducido porque también creé "Are you the Man I Love?" en inglés y al traducirlo al español me parece que ha perdido musicalidad y belleza.

Si también lo has escuchado me gustaría oir tu opinión al respecto.

Espero que te estés cuidando.

Besos.

Drawn crossed squares Where we played at three in a row. I remember the rain outside Pitter-pattered on the slate roof top. My hot and dry feet inside my clogs, Wet when splashing puddles. What I mostly remember It's the smell of freshly baked brown bread, The softness of Mom's worn apron, and Her sweat running down from her forehead. Spanish version: Recuerdo los días del pan

I want to live forever

Pulling the USB out of her computer she thought - I want this more than anything in this world. She phoned. -Please Rob, come by my house today. I can wait for you. I'm not sleepy.

That would continue happening without worrying the star who could see it. Without nostalgia feeling for the beings who had seen it rising and submerging every day. The bell rang. - What's wrong? Why so much hurry? - Enter Rob. Sit down and listen to me, please! Take this is the USB with my memoirs. - But you told me yesterday morning that you were going to rewrite them again. - I have changed my mind. There will be no more revisions. I want them to be published as they are. You know I've been working on them for years, written and rewritten them. That they have been the center of my life during these last ten y...
