Mujeres

there is always one woman

to save you from another

and as that woman saves you

she makes ready to

destroy.

Charles Bukowski

El nombre de los gatos

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

T.S. Elliot

...y cada ocasión es un funeral

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong we were

Really too late to call so we wait for
Morning to wake you is all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong they were

And every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more is called the funeral
Every occasion I am ready for the funeral
And every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside the dead leaves, they are alive
For they don't have trees to hang their hearts

And every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more is called the funeral
And every occasion I am ready for the funeral
And every occasion one brilliant day funeral

eÑe

Mientras más lenguas aprendo, más me sorprendo de la maravilla que esconde el español bajo su aparente simpleza y elegancia.

Uno nunca sabe...

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away

So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole

U2: Please

Ilusión y sus cadenas rotas

A menudo los héroes, los sueños e ilusiones mueren cuando se les enfrenta y se les descubre tanto o más cobardes que uno mismo.

No obstante, la experiencia que se gana sólo puede ser fructificante, enriquecedora, pero sobre todo liberadora.

Esta vez

La diferencia es que esta vez ya no me haces daño.
Ya aprendí.

Destino #3

Llamamos destino a todo aquello que nos pasa y no logramos comprender.

Tus caballos salvajes

The doors you open I just can't close.

U2: Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Mujeres de película

Lo único que se necesita para hacer una película es una mujer y una pistola.

Jean-Luc Godard

Libertad

Anoche en las noticias, un prominente empresario dijo:
Es muy fácil pretender ser libre cuando sólo seguimos la corriente.

No podría estar más de acuerdo.

Tráeme la noche

La tarde suavemente se aleja
la oscuridad tendió su red al mar
la espera entre las sombras, dios sabrá por que
ya es tarde para volver igual.

Traeme la noche
no puedo estar despierto mas sin verla
traeme la noche
no puedo estar despierto mas sin verla

Futuro se estrella ante mi
descienden las tinieblas de ansiedad
cada vez mas solo te dejo caer
no hay nada que ya pueda hacer igual

Traeme la noche
no puedo estar despierto mas sin verla
traeme la noche
no puedo estar despierto mas sin verla

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow, just another day
God bid yesterday good-bye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head, there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness is staring me blind
God bid yesterday good-bye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
