Expressing a little too much, or too little, perhaps.

I am happy today. And it’s not because of you. I’ve found liberty, run on smiles and the ability to finally be myself away from you, and near another soul. That woman I had put away to fit your living is slowly defying the years of yearning for a better tomorrow, which never really came. It’s been shown to me finally. And discovering her all over again is a struggle, but a blissful journey.  Thank you for reminding me the better person I was.

Yours always,

Why?

I had you for me, and just for me. There was bliss between our fingers, continual remnants of pieces of heaven in each of our smiles. The glimmer we shared in incessant love. The sweetness of your words, the gentle graze of your fingertips, the gentleman you have always managed to be, the shoulder, the rock, my ultimate and sole world.
And then it happened.
Efforts lapsed, time wasted the spontaneity of it all. Kisses grew faint, hugs as casual as the morning coffee we were accustomed to. Did you see it? Did you care for it? Did you even thought of changing it at some point? Maybe. As I once thought so too.
But, those unspoken words have now collapsed into one gentle gasp. A goodbye. A silent, rhetorical wonder of what could have been. The nectar of your lips, your thoughts, your gestures, and your heart unfolds bitter truth. You are just not mine, as I am not yours.
Endless summers did I think this is what I have eager all along. The time to face the facts is here and shouting louder than ever right to our faces, and hearts. Somehow, though, I don’t seem to want to see it. Facing a path without you is as terrifying as being shoved back to an open sea of dangers. Your arms is what I want, yet I don’t. Your comfort is what I long, yet deny myself. Your smell, your conversations, your warmth in the middle of the night are all there, still with me, still penetrating deep into my tears. Still fresh and molded to me.
You’ve hurt me, as I have you. Betrayal and lies has tainted the dew we fed off one day… so many days.
I open my heart now and try to conceive of a me without you. I can’t. Maybe not yet, maybe not ever, but I do have to grow from this. Some steps are meant to never take back. Boundaries should be crossed a mere once, and I, I have swept away all possibilities for us from every corner of this house, our house.

I love you, will always love you.

Un Vacío Que Suplica Tu Mirar.

Mañana, mañana es tan sólo un aquel roze, un susurro y un pétalo que acaricia mi ensueño. No cuento con más que mi persona de protagonista en este acecho. Más que un corazón al aire, el único que te llevastes, el único que ya no recuerdo, el único que pasmas, el único que ya eres total dueño. Hoy, hoy tan sólo veo eso.

Porque este noche la veo distinta. Te siento aquí, tan dentro mío, pero a miles de mares sin alcance. Hay una ilusión atada a esta realidad que no desdibuja lo que inventastes. Atorada quedé, en algún barranco de ese amargo sendero que camine, sin tu aroma, sin ti amor mío. Confieso que fue amargo, y si, fue muy amargo, pero hoy aleteo pródigamente mi cariño. Más no me cohibiré ya, no embrido más lo que llevo guardado, ni derrocharé mis horas sin ti. Llevo caricias que no te di, besos fiados que no sentí, miradas aficionadas sólo a ti.

Cómo desnudar aún más este secreto? Cómo llevarte las palabras correctas sin que se las lleve el viento? Dime acaso cómo culminar sin ti cuando tan incrustado te tengo?

Regalame tu primer pensamiento de mañana, mañana que sólo es nada, pero para mí llena tu eco. Si doblas un instante hacia mi nombre recuerda que yo, entre estrella y estrella, soy quimera. Cierro mis ojos ahora, y aunque no leerás esto, desbordar mis gestos aquí no es ni el más mínimo consuelo para este ser que te adora.

Si sólo la noche fuese más negra.

Mientras camino por el pasillo de aquellas estrellas que titilaban días añejados, días soñados, días inciertos, días verdes. Soy peregrina, son tus manos mi sed, tu boca mi guía, tus ojos mi dirección, tu aroma mi cruz. Por qué emanas necesidad? Por qué me delata mi corazón? Por qué desde lejos no siento más que tu leyenda?

Toma mi fervor, mis anhelos y mi vulnerabilidad. Porque ya no soy mía. Concibeme. Desaté ya mi alma tras tuyo.

Atisbaré los frágiles instantes de desahogo. Guardaré mi derrotado grito… Sigo aquí bordando los pedazos que quedan mientras paseo por aquellas estrellas.

Hello world!

I am pleased to announce this is my very first blog site. I am thrilled to belong to a mature-leveled intellect (I hope), which where I can divulge, endear and weep through my feelings and what matters to me around the world. 

I won’t take much of this post, so, thank you all for glancing by and hope to enjoy this network as much as I have so far (a wee 5 minutes.) Great! See you all wonderful peeps out there soon!
