Conquers and Quests

 Conquers and Quests


Do you know it feels this way?

when water slips under your feet?

when you sleep and see no lights?

when the wind blows upon your face?

and when the trees start to die?


Cause you've never been down here,

you haven't stepped on ice nor the sea,

you don't know what a nightmare is,

no idea of what tomorrow brings,


never faced the pain of death,

nor disease or leaving someone behind,

no sun to pretend any form of eclipse,

no reason why a heart would suddenly strive,


and in the death of the night,

the sounds are imminent threats,

just a sign that we´ve been down here,

fighting ourselves and this entire place,


and you haven't,

you've been up there,

staring from afar,

the struggle and the pursuit,

the conquers and the quests,

and it never ends,

you never really end.

Luciérnagas

  Luciérnagas Revolotea de aqui a allá, Se cansa de jugar, Con los ojos abiertos, No se puede soñar, Entre los campos silvestres, Devora uno que otro fruto rojo, Bajo un girasol dormido, Dice que duerme pero con enojo, Un último vistazo a la luna, Susurra entre luciérnagas, Se ha perdido entre fulgores, La luna yace semi muerta, Se acurruca entre los nenúfares, Se acomoda para hacerse una cuna, Dormir no quiere, se enfurece, Mañana y otro día, es lo que quiere.

Fugacidad

  Fugacidad Ábreme, Como la lluvia de abril, De par en par y sin pensar, Decídete, Así como las dahlias a la tierra, Como el humo al fuego, Como las serpientes a la hoguera, Arriésgate, Entre una pared y las horas, Mediante el tragaluz en Midian, Sonámbulo ante las antorchas, Disuelvete, Aunque de estaño insoluble sea tu piel, Aunque puro sea el bronce de tu pensar, Excavaciones sobre tu arder y tu amar, Rompete En medio del océano y de la tempestad, En mil fractales como tu costumbre es, Entre la fugacidad y la eternidad, Piensame Aunque el invierno venga por ti, Aunque de otoños haya que vivir, Y a las lunas se tenga que rezar. L.C. Noctividus

Lime and Anise

  Lime and Anise Im at unrest, Arrested by thy name, Through the hours and the flames, Revelations haunt me by days, Consign the seals for my bodies, And all that hides between manuscripts, Like hell unleashed waiting to be read, Red is the sin, red scarlet within a kiss, Cause its ending, All my souls are bound to one being, Tied and recovering from wandering, Like a golden string between my limbs, It is not fate, Is promise and debt, Sunset and licorice, Lime and anise, Turquoise and garnet.
