The twigs remind me
of ancient a memory,
muted by time
and our efforts to forget.
You remember how
You’d snap a twig into two,
then we’d sword them off,
like two chivalrous knights,
queer knights that feared
a shared sunset together more than
Battle.
What happened next?
the next memory seems to
slip away from me too,
imitating you.
On that day - the day thou wert born, flashed 'cross:
A seed had been sowed in the garden - a seed from Above,
Months ago been sowed to grow with HIS Grace,
Growing by HIS Grace to reach the Will of Heaven,
Their world shook with expectations-emotionally struggled,
He was on his way towards the newly- knit cradle,
The mother on the couch of pain wriggled,
The good Samaritan stood beside the cradle,
The clock, striking seven seconds to four, raised its silent alarm,
The babe, released from the womb, gave a mumbled cry,
And it was a cry like the nightingale's song,
Yea, she was born by HIS Grace.
These memories flash 'cross now to be painted in my verse 21 years after,
Yea, she's now entering 22.
The Lord is always beside her
And she is God's Gift.
My daughter's birth nostalgia!

Happiness hurts.
Because though I'm laughing
I can't help remembering
another time
I laughed just like this.
It kills me
that I wish to go back.
And when months
or maybe years
pass.
I'll look back at today
for the very same reason
I looked back at yesterday.
yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

No puedo dormir,
Por tantos recuerdos,
Insuperables en mis sueños,
Que te necesito a mi lado,
Mi amor añorado.

Eras dulce como el dulce,
Eras hermoso ante mis ojos,
¿Por qué sigo amándote?
Si tú no estás en este mundo…

Puedo escribirte miles de poemas,
Que nunca leerás, aunque bajes,
Mi querida estrella del más allá.

Fuiste y siempre serás,
Mi amor añorado ,
Que nunca podré olvidar,
Sin ponerle punto y final,
De recuerdos de un amor.

Cuando estoy sola,
Siempre me dejas como las olas,
Profunda sin sentimientos,
Que se quedó como testamentos…

Eres un amor añorado,
Que siempre he soñado,
Estar siempre a tu lado,
Sin importar lo que está pasando.

Siempre estás en mi corazón,
Aunque no fuimos nada,
Siempre te amaré ,
Siempre te querré,
Siempre estaré,
Siempre te visitaré,
Siempre te escribiré.

Me siento sola sin ti,
Que mi mente no está en si,
Pero es porque siempre vienes así,
Con dolor y no sé que hacer.

Lo nuestro fue un amor añorado,
De mí y no de ti,
¿Qué puedo hacer para olvidarte?

Te juro que mis hombros están cansados, y mi mente está rota, con dolor, desde que partiste…

Quiero sanar contigo,
Pero me rompo de nuevo.

All day, and everyday,
When i remember your face,
I recall those times,
When we were the same age.

As we ran through the hallways,
Completely in panic.
Running scared from those,
Identified as strong boys.

Elevating all the floor dust,
We were running while they were chasing us.
Through the screams laced with hatred
We were criminals
Just for loving whom we wanted.

My younger self would
love that I watch the movies
she did too, back then.
Twilight on rainy days, unashamed.

Mi mente está sola,
como las olas,
con o sin distracciones,
intervienes con intenciones.

Es raro, extrañarte,
es raro, recordarte,
es raro, pensar en ti,
es raro, estar sola.

Mi corazón siempre te recuerda,
cuando no tiene cuerda,
de problemas de seda,
sin poder de emblema.

Te extraño con antaño,
lloro sin estar pensando,
del daño causado en el pasado.

Vuelves en la madrugada,
sola desamparada,
sintiéndome atrapada,
en esta misma almohada.

En el cielo estás,
viéndome desde allá,
mientras tú no estás,
en mis noches de compás.

You'd think I'd learned my lesson,

So many years ago,

To never add anything new,

I've never let anything go.
1830 now
1830 tomorrow
1830 forever
