Me dueles

Me dueles.Mansamente, insoportablemente, me dueles.
Toma mi cabeza, córtame el cuello.
Nada queda de mí después de este amor.
Entre los escombros de mi alma búscame, escúchame.
En algún sitio mi voz, sobreviviente, llama, pide tu asombro,
tu iluminado silencio.
Atravesando muros, atmósferas, edades,
tu rostro (tu rostro que parece que fuera cierto)
viene desde la muerte, desde antes del primer día que despertara al mundo.
¡Qué claridad tu rostro, qué ternura de luz ensimismada,
qué dibujo de miel sobre hojas de agua!
Amo tus ojos, amo, amo tus ojos. Soy como el hijo de tus ojos,
como una gota de tus ojos soy,
Levántame. De entre tus pies levántame,
recógeme del suelo, de la sombra que pisas,
del rincón de tu cuarto que nunca ves en sueños.
Levántame. Porque he caído de tus manos
y quiero vivir, vivir, vivir.

Jaime Sabines

Ausencia I

Ausencia
Habré de levantar la vasta vida
que aún ahora es tu espejo:
cada mañana habré de reconstruirla
desde que te alejaste
cuántos lugares se han tornado
vanos y sin sentido, iguales
a luces en el día
Tardes que fueron nicho de tu imagen,
músicas en que siempre me aguardabas
palabras de aquel tiempo,
yo tendré que quebrarlas con mis manos,
¿En qué hondonada esconderé mi alma
para que no vea tu ausencia
que como un sol terrible, sin ocaso,
brilla definitiva y despiadada?
Tu ausencia me rodea
como la cuerda a la garganta,
el mar al que se hunde


Jorge Luis Borges

Sensorium

Chance doesn't exist
But the path of life is totally so predestined
And time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here

Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this
That which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear

I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore

Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond

Not every pain hurts deep inside

When you have the will
You learn to forgive and to forget
You have to collect the broken pieces and
Humble hearted
Stand up from the place you hide
If I wouldn't know to miss anything
It couldn't hurt me no more
Mistakes thought to build life
From the ashes, that fell down to ground
Without any pain it wouldn't be the same
Experiences made me strong
Not every pain hurts deep inside
When you learn to divide
Don't fear the danger
Follow your heart to the light
Live your dream and breath
When you listen to yourself
Don't always expect
To find understanding
It takes time
You may loose your faith
But don't be afraid
To find the solution
That heavy wasn't my load
That I wouldn't also try
To carry yours
My burning heart - unbearable!
My optimistic mind - collapsed!
Without any pain it wouldn't be the same
Experiences made me strong
Not every pain hurts deep inside
When you learn to divide
Don't fear the danger
Follow your heart to the light
Live your dream and breath
