Es, seguir guardando virtualmente, cosas que escribo y olvido. Que al escribir, me desprendo de ellas. Las miro y ya no son parte mia,  y sin embargo me gusta conservar como tesoro literario novato.

amen.



me siento idiota,
dura
una piedra a la cual la besa la marea
por la eternidad
y no se mueve
y no se queja
y no siente frio
por que no puede sentirlo

y no lloro
solo de a ratos
estoy como sentada
frente a una pared blanca infinita

el mundo entero
se volvio
una pared blanca

no hay informacion posible
no tiene ni la mas minima mancha

no encuentro en ella nada
y sin embargo no puedo dejar de mirarla
no me produce nada

solo el vertigo de lo interminable.

El amor es hijo de la bohemia, Nunca, nunca ha conocido leyes. Carmen, Bizet

martes, 11 de octubre de 2011

Una sensibilidad donde se derriten las palabras, el amor y el odio fusionados en una gota de agua,un rayo de sol un campo de girasoles.Quien cuida de las medusas,las serpientes marinas, los dinosaurios. Hay un dios para todos ellos? Hazme valiente. Hazme poner la vida en rectángulos como estos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXRYA1dxP_0

Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
Till I first met you I was lonesome
But when you came in sight
Dear my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
Seemed new to me
Seemed new to me
So I will try to explain all the things you do to me
Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means your grand
Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella
Or I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me
And understand
...Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand...
...It means you're the fairest in the land...
I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me,
And understand
I could say bella, bella
Or I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me,
And understand

poema de fin de temporada

Como te despierta el día, hoy que el cielo no deja ver el sol?
Como se encuentra tu piel ahora que no la hieren los rayos
y el viento del invierno se mece acunado por una brisa nueva
Es tibio el nuevo aire de esta temporada,
cambiante como una llama en una chimenea

Se prende y se apaga, y de repente.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffff
Sopla.
Una hoja de desprende de su nido,
ya pierde su verde color en un segundo
vuela, flota,baila
Sopla.

Con un golpe certero se estrella contra un portón de una casa.
Cae en Linea recta.
El invierno ha muerto.

chau

Me encuentro mirando tus fotos, no se porque, llego ahí, como un náufrago que evidentemente está perdido y no reconoce al lugar donde llega, este lugar es extraño, vos sos extraño y estas acompañado, por alguien a quien conozco pero no me es familiar. Te veo, te ves igual, y todavía me pareces lindo, pero estas vacío. Te resignificaste.Estas, sos, vivís, respiras, pensas, y alguna vez pensaras en mí? Si es eso, no es que a mí me preocupe que pienso yo de vos, sino si es que vos pensas en mí que pensaras? Que será , donde guardaste los sentimientos para la mujer que era la mujer de tu vida y después rápido fue otra, con que olor me relacionas? y con qué risa y comida me recordas. Podes figurar el color de mis ojos en tu mente? Todavía sabes mi número de teléfono? Recientemente me sorprendió la amnesia, yo no podía recordar el tuyo, nunca olvidaría tu mirada sin embargo, pensar en ella ya no me hace sonreír tontamente, tengo otro amor, tiene tú mismo pelo. Chistoso no? Y me quiere y me enseño a que el amor existe más de una vez y fuerte de la misma manera.
Me encantaría tomar cindor con vos un día más grandes y poder decirte que sos mi amigo, en algún lado de mi alma, que mis recuerdos no se expiran, así como no se expirara mi apoyo hacia vos, y mi orgullo por cada logro que realices, porque compartiste mi juventud, mis primeras experiencias en muchos sentidos, sabe que cuando seamos viejos y estemos solos y nuestro hijos tengan sus propios hijos quizás puedas enseñarme a tocar la guitarra como me prometiste y yo mostrarte las fotos de todas mis nuevas alegrías.
