Lo que es y no es

El spleen es un mundo de poesía que no es poesía, de pensar y decir, sin decir ni pensar. Les comparto el aliento de mi travesía poética en las letras y los signos que no dicen nada y lo dicen todo. Esto es parte de mi etéreo paso por este sitio de antaño y de siempre, de nunca olvidado. Porque me atrevo a pronunciar lo que no está escrito, a ver en el vacío lo que falta. Son tejidos de palabras, garabatos de sonidos que se pueden pronunciar en el aire o en silencio, donde juego a crear metáforas, símbolos, analogías y más; así como salen del alma, de la mente, del corazón, del Spleen, puros y honestos, sin corregir ni tallerear, eso viene después....

El Spleen


En francés spleen representa el estado de melancolía sin causa definida o de angustia vital de una persona. En alemán, la palabra "spleen" denota a alguien continuamente irritable. En China, el spleen representa uno de los fundamentos del temperamento y se supone influye el poder de la voluntad. En este espacio te invito a conocer el spleen que me embarga y el que embarga a la humanidad.

I am

There is a stillness
streams inside my head 
comes across the border rail
dashing down a river way.

Downcast the glares of shame
please, get away from that starry flame
she said with a numb throat of wilderness
while carrying silence dead.

I am hanging in the middle of the night 
waiting for an infinite void to disperse
where to strain my memories.

Who can shoot a thousand words
constrained to a weeping soul?
Could I flourish in a darker sky?

Drop down  winter wonderlands...
I will long stand between the hours 
I will flow into the motherland
I will die underneath the mirror pool
where tide ran around nd many souls .

Behind my eyes 
tattooed on my heart
your name sails away.
We are doomed no more to our silence
an evil angel's dream castsaway...

Who can draw a line of hope?
Who can thunder the wind that goes?
Oh! Come into the depth of silence
close your wings and fly
on behalf of the day.
Tomorrow will never end
nevertheless again
I am.

A Thousand Glares

I have died for a thousand times,
downcast from the abyss
in three times solitudes…
undergrowth by life´s betrayal,
trodden by its irony.
Long I stood in between my mind
at the woodlands of a whisper soft agony,
such a slant of time,
a crooked grin from the shadows.
This wall comes to white to my memories
where I have been drawn,
where I have been swept.
Who could distinguish the darkness from the sorrow?
I have been hurled from my soul
so many times against my will.
Who could know the song thrush melody?
The raven had come underneath across the years.
I have agonized a thousand winds below
on behalf of the dawn.
He came at dark whispering my name
with a bud of a rose,
shivering the night.
A lightning had blown
nearby the ocean road.
Long I looked far beyond my eyes…
Who can see its own heart beat a thousand glares?
Take my hands into the bosom of your heart.
I long pass the dreary numbed sea
nowise entangled into a mermaid reverie.
Words alone are certain cruel,
some words also soothe
when they rend in twain what overflows…
I have died a million times
While whirling stars pass by…

And I long stood and I still stand.

Who Knows

To Luly
Beyond the interrupted distance
of an everlasting path,
beyond the infinite
shriveling spirals,
under the light that spins groping
depleted in chiaroscuros dreams.

Beyond devotion and a sigh,
or an aborted thievery of a soul,
a stroke of fate
a mockery of life...

No matter if the song of birds has come mute,
or if sometimes the whole world has collapsed
under your angel feet 
or if
life has escape
slowly behind the unattainable horizon.

No matter if the land inside you has shiver
and has broken in a thousand pieces,
if you have fallen on your knees
deep to the underworld.

No, none of that matters...
What matters most is to raise your gaze,
for you to know that in your hands is to color future
wandering days,
that in your eyes is to look beyond the limits.

Give your soul away because still is yours.
Belongs to you in the day.
Belongs to you at night.
Whole to yourself.

Forget the guilt,
forget carmine stains.
Do not let salt oozes your look.
Leave behind whatever shadows your spirit.

There is no good nor bad
There is no nothing nor if...

He appeared from behind the trees
With a timeless walk

and have pronounced your name.

A summit, a flower

To WW.

I will not sleep
until the night
converted into ash
lifts the glare of the hours
made by the light of the thrush,
when their singing leads to dawn
until oblivion.

I will not break into tears nor rales
as I remember the death of my heroes.
I will not fall on my knees before the waves
that have rammed my step.

I will walk among the shadows
beside the blond angel of the night
that rises in the heavenly arch
shining darkness into light.

I'll be the ocean and I'll be fight
no battle will be lost.
I will be in the back rooms
waiting to be besieged
and I will fight tooth and nail
because I will not succumb to defeats.

Each idea is forged
With flutter of the wandering thought.
The earth itself is a word
unfolded
dressed thread,
a solemn door
swollen with omens
wide and empty of the black exorcism.

A summit, a flower,
immersion hidden in your language.
Dressed see aurora
the world divided into two stories.
It is also soothing for the lost,
longing assayed in anxiety.

Do not be afraid
Sail into my soul
until the return of the world.
I will wait with the cloak of
uncertainty
tied to my waist...
I will wait...

[no matter what the soul feels
half dead on the top
ideas often returns
shape and charge
is normal if they  wander blindly]

And after the freeze
we will reborn from the brume
between diamond rain
between the winds of the fields.

and then only with your inflamed beating ...

I will be the night
I will be the hours
I will be the aurora
I will be the ocean waves

I'll be life ...

Icarus and the Oracle

Icarus flew towards Apollo and 
hung up his wings as an offering.

God of light and sun
God of truth and prophecy
You've released your arrow
and poetry has flooded souls.

The Delphic oracle said to you
the warrior's name.
Hermes messenger of light showed me his eyes.
I saw in the shadow of silence 
speechless much more entangled words 
than I've ever seen...

I saw the moon behind him
drop your dream to the limbo.
One round, another turn
a wish without borders,
wingless
                        without Icarus…

He was to fly
but he never knew
nor know.
Apollo and Dionysus
Who will come?
What will the oracle?,
What will Artemis?
the Muse
dance
fire
the march
He settles his head and he thinks me
he exists
and then...
he exists not.
After a long sigh
It has been my wings all along...
Wind
maze
leakage.

The sun melted the escape
the same as Daedalus planned,
freedom for his child,
he did not understand,
he did not know how...

There was none
yet it is...
it doesn’t matter if is.

A hidden world
a world apart
simple
complex
close
distant.
An oversight 
a morning without a present

'I am the Oracle', he whispered:
The wings hung as offerings
will be your gift
will be your gods
will be your Apollo...
light
singing
poetry
dance.
But not for me
the oracle has sppoken
… at the end  
this has never been...

My Wings

It has been an eon and it still stands.
I am still hanging
from the horns of the moon…
I look at the chasm that involves jumping.
Sometimes a crack has
the depth of a marine pit;
it feels as timeless, eternal.
I have fallen a thousand times infinite
to the shores of Styx, beside shades.
I've been buried under the tide of Charon.
Icarus on fire between Cratos and Bia.
I have been banished from my own wings…
                                   My Wings of Icarus
grow again and again
regardless many times as outraged
torn from my shoulder blades
where my soul and my bones articulate.
I have fallen without nymphs
in the shadows of the Titans inflamed.
Still they have not broken me
still I am intact as the skies
full of vibrant stars…

My Own Thermopylae

My soul stands on a pathway
facing a cliff
protected by a wall.

In the center 
a distant trail opens
made for the heroes to enter,
so the faithful, the words, the muses, love...
It is protected by great warriors
in carmine cloaks.

Are the doors of the soul,
my own Thermopylae.
Inwards is glory,
democracy of just men,
freedom of thought,
the verses of Apollo,
Philippides running,
Terpsichore's flight,
the elucidation of Athena...

Inside is where
wandering ideas are fixated
where the thinking happens.
There is where on a sward of
whirling ocher stars floats
tireless my soul...

Dancers of dreams.

Right there my insides swell
when the world cheers,
where endless oceans of tears are shed
as I see injustice and pain.

Behind the trail
tends eternity before me.

Who can distinguish darkness on the road?

Monotony is exceeded in words
entangled in idle days...
Truth is not dead
nor hope.

No matter how many times other empires
have wanted to conquer,
the basin of my mind oscillates intact.

My heart overflows with such plentitude.
The death of Heracles left his heat in the water,
the land itself is an igneous metaphor...

I'll let you go behind the moon
with a pennant of fireflies...
you will be now the guardian of this site.

Moreover, my own Thermopylae
will no cease to be in danger
of the betrayal of Ephialtes
and the fury of hundreds enraged Medes.

Ithaca and the Absence

At the depth of a hidden labyrinth of my soul
I encounter a void filled with you, absent in the distance.
I roam every place where you have drunk my soul
surrounded by senses,
anointed of your scent on my body.

I sit at the edge of my ship and look the horizon
Will the auroras last?
I lie in twilight, I watch the moon,
clouds cover your reflection,
shadows symbolize amplitude of miles.

So close to the heart and so far the place where life dawns.
A place where furies and assaults inhabit.
I'd give my life to save you from that hell where you coexist.
I revolve between the night not knowing what to expect.

One day I awoke in love with blackness,
in love with your name.
Held by Achilles in Homer´s Larisa
far away from home.
It was my own Troy, 
burning with passion just as Leda´s daughter…
Far from Ithaca,
as Odysseus, he by my side
wanted to live forever.
The heat of the flesh
the spirit of the goodness halo,
the ice of your distance
the tremor of my anguishes…

To many battles…
a duel, a celebration, a grave .
River of madness 
I know you exist
You are not all mine in my presence
you are mine in absence,
but in my mind and in my feels 
cannot bestride your memories
through a tunnel of nothingness,
silent, timeless, stolen from your hands…

I slipped of life but always in cheers
…groping.
Today there is a hole in my soul
not comforted by anything
nor with day nor with night.
Is the eclipse of your being.
I saw by your side the sunset and since
I sit in your lap and wait for nightfall
so the moon would reborn.

We climbed to the top of the world between sands
and after a few hours we fell to our site
far mine, 
yours distant in a parallel universe.

I die every time I think of you
live every second as I know less.
It is the tension of the arc and the lire,
is the irony of life
that keeps testing me.

I cry and I laugh.
At a cradle and a sepulcher.
A myth among many more.

His death has killed me for so long
I miss you defunct
I miss you alive.

Melancholy hunts me at every corner
And nostalgia for the future has reached me in time.
Today has become my present affliction
in this wilderness where you and I have agreed.
I have give myself to your arms
Ageless of me
I have give away myself into a void
Which I don´t know how to overcome.

He has gone after arrival
has left me adrift
between your mind I think
but not think me.

I feel you through the absence
I see your face behind a window 
of a transmuted consciousness
I see your eyes open to life.

I have witnessed your flight
which has fallen into the precipice
by disillusionment and despair.
I hope the trip does not become into a getaway
despite my fears of stealth.
I did not run from your breath,
I stayed indomitable at your crotch...
something tells me you're as much mine as I am yours
although it was just a sigh, a whisper of the saints.

A bird followed my path and flew towards madness.
One night finished by the hours,
the next day the consent in a second.

Again that emptiness, 
that nothingness that pursued my life.

I hear and tremble
I feel you and I see not
is again as death
as the one who’s follow me.
I don not understand this state
I do not understand the vocation I was given.

Happy for me,  for you
that you existed and that you loved.
I have my path in a crossroads
I do not know where to go.
I see over the horizon

oh Ithaca!, my Ithaca! ...



you're my island where I shall be wrecked.

At Night

A distance blue ocean
languishes before the horizon,
even when my eyes cannot reach  
behind its boundaries
I see you through the corners of
the incoming memories
woven with your voice and silences.
I see you in a dream out far
caress by the infinite stars
that blow with longing tears.

You sat half-light hanging from the shadows…
What you want is to see, to hear
all the way across of the hall.
You hear her laugh and your forehead raises.

 I will be there, always and never
In the spare spaces
In the ocher times when the evening falls

You think of her at dawn,
you go to sleep behind her image
cuddling your dreams and your thirst
with a solid hope.

So many miles
so many hours…
I wish I could touch you
feel the wind that betrays flowers
while they dance every morning.
We move winged
We run…
Lay with me on the stairs
of verses and delusions .

Despite so much space
your heartbeat and my heartbeat
at same compass trot…
You take the journey, you take the cadence
You will be true and gentle
I will be your abode.

…They  will get to you, at night
in your sleep

in a riverbed of langsyne…

It Comes About

Night in a rustle entwined
in an uncommon surreal way
the dawn and the moon counterclockwise.
Overthrow under the shadow
over a riverbed of illusions
a beat of violetblue dreams of thoughts,
who crave a future of crimson spectre
full of glint and ragweed.
Your lips falls under the light of my memory
as words bounded by silences
said beyond what they have named.
I find you hanging at
the corners of my mind,
flits in rhymes and poems
wedging an infringe token...
We are the past of a future
from today in the distance
emerged from rubble and
conquered performances.
At the aurora of the storm,
tremor of the wind
and the glow of thunder,
shines in time a wish
sailing through space with
golden reflection of the fields,
while the leaves of grass
bloom spontaneous
in a natural flow of the sense.
Strong tied one by one the events
while continuum takes us bow
natural and suddenly.
It's hard to believe what this is
despite the few hours and
the distance in between.
So it will be in the winter,
the heat of the flames of your soul
and my desires wrap in every hall,
honey runs through the grass wandering
in deviant  yards in ghosts.
Winter will off hook the soft stars
that shine in the sky,
will take from my womb their whims
disguised  as mermaids
on a sward of miles
innocent walked.
You will be my night.
I will be your day.
Just then will know

we have come to motherland.

A Sward of Stars

I lay under the moon on a sward of blueice stars 
hanging from a mythical web of dreams ... 
I put my pride aside and came into the void
with the skin flayed of my bones 
and an incandescent light of unnamed silences. 

I waited my turn and languished in nakedness
the whisper of the night sighed 
thousand winds of night
drowned with mist barren distances. 

Your halo fell into the underworld
your aura dispel in the waters of the Styx. 

I will not stand on your grave 
nor cry your past
I will not remember your name 
nor come disguised 
of wings and flight of birds 
every dawn , 
I will not be the morning due.

Today I got dressed in time 
the clothes of longing 
but tomorrow I will awake 
hanging trough the wires of the the moon
in a sward of stars .... 
falling... 

with a bright canvas in my hands.

Across the Time

I won't stand across the dead
and share them tears of sadness.
I will not become my pain,
I will not become
the shadow of what could be
into a yesterday's dream...
So there stands a wonder of myths,
at the end there will be no keep
as the shadow came and randomly took her away.
There is not a day that I won't weep,
I shrunk my soul to be reborn,
unleashed fierce anger
and got on my feet...
Oh no, do not falter me... but
There is not a day that I won't weep.
I shrunk my soul to be reborn
unleashed fierce anger and got on my feet.
I ran through all the minutes of silence distances
and have taken the warrior's way...
thousand winds araise me
through the mountain colours
and the Dimond seas.
I won't say I have not been defeat
that I have not been assaulted by life's irony
But I am the wisdom route
where the oracle has encountered an answer dream,
and if I will not stand across the living
where there is not a truth
I will cherish existence as far as you are there to be...

(Somewhere in the past 2009)

Solitude Selves

I might have a vision
where you encounter a soul and spirit
between the dreamland of distance
not in the same space as well
but at the same time instead,
the horizon approaches
the miles of memories to build.
Together comes at daydreams
under the imaginativeness of a picture
constructed by many words
that fall across the light and the dark
when my day becomes your night...
and your day appears in the middle
of a cherished desire.
I lay down over a million of doubts
under the cosmos ground of an ancient wire
but now, I lay above a shinning smile
with a compass of many wildest wants
that I never thought I will have.
Soft tender feelings arise and
I look ahead with a charming light
It might thunder tonight
it might tremble aside
it would become an end of two solitude selves...

Old Comes the Breeze

Random falls the ocean leaves 
come together in a silent dew 
a sight of wonder hits down the edge 
whispering troubled, what is happening here?
And yet no longer I have expected thee...
... you came as soft tenderness of the morning dream
Oh! what can I say...
Overmany mysteries, you are from all onuppan 
my wildest imaginary...
not so even I never have thought it would exist
Random falls ...
Canst thou wit what the day shall bring
nor the night nor the space in between
two lungs no longer weep...
two lungs of randon breathe...
shallow, no doesn't feel as it...
the ocean comes groping beneath 
the gentle breeze ...
Random falls
into my future memories...

(Foolling around)
