Assignment #9

At Twilight

I don't know if the wind blew by us
faster than we did it,
but I was glad it whispered to you
said turn your head,
allowed me to look at you.
I wanted to speak,
tell you I felt lucky
because you were there,
but how could I interrupt
your silent gaze upon me,
the color of ocean blue,
staring deep into my dark brown eyes?
You smiled, I know you knew
how much I would forever love you.
We sat and enjoyed the silence
while secretly laughing at what never was said.
We let them continue driving,
allowed our hands to keep on kissing,
and when we arrived at wherever we were going,
it was with us, you and I, together
knowing all, saying love with twilight eyes.

And now for something totally different...

Please be kind, this is my first attempt, ever, to write in Spanish...

¿Cuantas Lagrimas de Amor Mas?

Nunca sabrás cuanto te quiero
Porque mi boca no es de uno que te maltratara.
Siempre la misma historia, tu,
Pensando locamente que haya alguien
Quien te amara como yo, puro y todo tuyo.
¡Vaya! Besa, haz el amor, y veras
Que yo estoy aquí, pensando en solo ti,
Aun no me amas al regreso.
Yo soy un loco, perdido, intoxicado con
Mis lágrimas de amor, hundiendo bajo la luna,
Girando como un lobo enamorado con la luz.
Si no sabes ya, ¿entonces cuando?
¿Cuántas bocas no son los mismos que míos?
¿Cuántas veces te han tocado, no como yo te ha acariciado?
Estas manos míos fueron creadas por guardarte,
Para levantarte hasta el cielo para el mundo ver
Lo que yo he visto por tantas recuerdos propios;
Como reíste conmigo esa vez y la otra noche
Donde nuestras almas durmieron juntos
En el cielo infinito usando las estrellas mas bellas
Como almohadas prendido con nuestro amor.

-Patricio Donoso Jr.

Assignment #8

Okay, guys... this is the last blog for the first half of the semester... Push yourselves!

Write yo' comment... show me what you got! : )

Dream Sadness

I woke up today, involuntarily.
Had I a choice I would have stayed with you.
You who has no face, no name,
But loved me still, you.
I remember your hair
Like long strips of morning light
Pouring onto my head.
You let me lay there beside you,
Shivering for fear of loneliness,
Naked as clouds, yet as peaceful too.
Your eyes struck me like the blue wind,
My blues, my baby blues,
Dark like the abyss that is my heart,
Deep like the ocean’s awakening between us,
Engulfing me like memory.
Now forever in memory’s heart will you remain,
But sadly not perfect, forever unreal, and untouchable
Never to be repeated. Oh agony to hearts!
What sound was it that made me flee from bliss?
Had I known it was but a dream
I would never have awoken
But rest inside you for always.

Assignment #7

Dedicated to my Amelie Poulain...

Goodbye

How much is it supposed to hurt
When I say goodbye?
I haven’t even said it yet
And I already feel the tears in my eyes.
These past few moments have been the best,
And the credit can only fall on you.
I wish to say so many things,
But the time and option of words are few.
So in this smile I want you to know
That in my heart you’ll always be.
Your memory, like my shadow, will follow,
Throughout my life until eternity.
Thank you so much for who you are
And for making me live with so many surprises.
Promise me if I go too far
You’ll remember me like you do sunrises.
But hush, my Love, and let me be
The time to say goodbye has come.
Like a bird I must be set free
To fly out beyond the sun,
Or else return into your arms because you are the one.

Assignment # 6

Sonnet #1

When you ponder over your existence
Don’t forget to include your early years
It’s never too soon to show persistence
Never surrender or submit to fear
There are times when life is so very fun
There are moments when love is so surreal
Don’t be selfish, but share with everyone
And then peace and love will be all you feel
We, together, can turn dreams into truth
You and I can spread the word and believe
The world will be elevated, be couth
Soon the hearts of man will all be relieved
Love and be loved, then give back to mankind
Obey your heart and listen to your mind.
