quiero que me encuentres.
entre sabanas de seda, undida hasta las rodillas en petalos de cobre y oro
arrasando con cenizas de velas, iluminando mundos en plano que
envuelven un desplegamiento sin sentido, de las galaxias que flotan entre suspiros, rompiendo el codigo natural de esta atraccion
si, yo leo la musica en tus manos al dar palmadas.


la musica que te engatusa a paradigmas infinitos
que atrapa tu alma con la mia
que nos junta en espiral uno con el otro.
pongo mis manos sobre ti, emitiendo notas en perfecta harmonia
siento configuracion y forma, con sonidos que se mezclan en exceso con deseo.


tus dedos presionan para encontrar notas que creman los aņos
de paredes residuales, para que podamos amarnos en secreto. como fugitivos de una jauria de miles bajo tierra, ni siquiera las estrellas han escrito las lineas en tus ojos. nuestros cuerpos han perdido sus nombres, y en el pasillo de los escapismos de la niņez, quebramos las luces de los cristales.


pero las reflexiones siempre invadiran nuestra presencia,
asustando la inocencia de nuestra esencia. nos convertimos en en lo que nunca pensamos soņar, lo que nunca pensamos que vivia adentro de nosotros. nos convertimos en bestias sin verguenza, que cantan victoria sobre la piel conquistada. nos convertimos en seres primates,
bailando una sinfonia que solo puede ser escuchada entre suspiros y respiros.


porque yo he estado tanto tiempo sin algo real,
en un prisma de soņadores, lo que quema fuerte por mis oidos en la noche, es el eco de la piel cruda contra cuerdas aņejas,
una matanza se marca en el cielo, de labios y dientes,
esos somos nosotros, o todos lo que creyeron que las historias se podian contar con meros sonidos de humo.


y historias seran escritas, por mano, sudor, y sangre.
con un sentido de virtuosidad, yo escribire este capitulo, como filántropo de tu cuerpo y tu mente, un cuentista que alguna vez vivio como leyenda, y que ahora es solo una memoria del pasado.
como aventurero, buscando el estremecimiento de la conquista, la gloria y la pasion. una pasion que no muera es lo que realmente busco para llevar en este momento de empatia, para llevarme conmigo cuando mi tiempo haya pasado...


tu descubriste un romance enterrado ante montaņas.
pero yo vengo a donde ti como una reliquia perdida,
esperando encontrar descanso en el suelo caliente de tu ser
y podriamos ser llevados por los paisajes del tiempo
solo para retornar la gloria perdida de la gracia
como una nave hundida que hace un ultimo viaje epico
para aclamar al mundo con un adios.
 



.
I want to be found.
between silk sheets, kneedeep in copper-gold petals
razed by candle cinders, lighting mapped worlds that
involve a senseless unfurling. to the galaxies hovering between breaths,
breaking the natural code of this attraction.
yeah, I read music on your beating palms.


the music that lures you into endless paradigms
that traps your soul with mine,
spiraling towards each other's selves.
I lay my hands upon you, to release notes in perfect harmony
with your body, and with every curve
I sense shape and form, with sounds that mesh in excess with desire.


your fingers press to find the notes that cremate years
of residual walls, so that we may love in secret. as fugitives from a thousand underground hounds, not even the stars have written the lines in your eyes.
our bodies have lost their names, and within the hall of childhood
escapisms, we shattered the glass lights.


but reflections will always invade our presence, scaring the innocence from our essence. we become what we dared not dream, what we never thought would exist within. we become beasts without shame, who claim glory over the conquered flesh. we become primal beings, dancing to a symphony that can only be heard between whispers and breaths.


because I have been so long without something real,
in a dreamer's prism, what burns deep through my ears at night,
are the echoing thrum of raw skin against vintage strings,
a carnage is dotted upon the sky, of lips and teeth,
that is us, or whoever believes that stories could be told with mere smoky sounds.


and stories will be written, by hand, sweat, and blood.
with a sense of virtuosity, I will write this chapter, as a philanthropist of your body and mind. as a storyteller who once lived as a legend, and now is just a memory of the days of yore.
as an adventurer, seeking the thrill of conquest, glory, and passion. and undying passion is what I truly seek to take from this moment of empathy,
to take with me under the earth when my time has passed.


you uncover romance buried before mountains.
but I come to you as a lost relic,
hoping to find rest in the warm soil of your being
and we could be swept down landscapes of time
only to return the missing piece of grace.
like a sunken vessel that makes one last
epic surface to hail the world goodbye.

"Because I have been so long without something real." A line can speak so much. This poem was absolutely amazing to me.

this is grace, softly so, but powerful in every breath.

sublimation found within the graceful essence of this poem; both renditions (of only the English one I could read, because of my poor language skills) seem to be beautifully written and spoken would appease any stray mind...beautiful.
