A beautiful song about AMAPOLA
After almost 15 years of having left my native Dominican Republic, I have decided to share my thoughts and my "drafts of inspiration" again. Sometimes my texts will be in Spanish and sometimes in Dutch; but mostly they will be published in English: a reflection of the reality I live everyday, where choosing only one language to express myself is simply impossible (Spring, 2009).

Spring
Amapola Blooming, self-portrait
Shedding my old skin,
undressing the past of my eyes,
stripteasing the unknown,
beckoning better times:
My love is blossoming!

No wonder
Eye of time, by Salvador Dalí
My pupils are bursting
with vivid memories,
of sleepless silences
and lavish loud poetry;
with thrilling images
of your eyes in ecstasy,
piercingly mirroring my lust,
carving into mine like hungry knives;
carving into mine like hungry knives;
my pupils are bursting,
with flashes of naughty laughter
and graffitis of swearing words
as I ride my love on you,
willingly, rebelliously;
my pupils are bursting,
with haunting memories
of this restless human craving
and my fearless animal loving.
No wonder I cannot sleep.
Silent Love
I want to baptise my skin
and give it a new name;
a name after my blossoming petals
and your burning fingerprints
as your summer breaks into my spring.
I want to wash my nakedness
and give it a fresh smell;
a smell after your restless breath
and the sea waves of your lips on my lips
as my ecstasy echoes in the wind.
I want to ink my skin
with her new name;
a skin named after our rythmic hips,
our silent whispers,
our silent whispers,
and a love that simply dances, but dare not speak.
Lovers, by Henri Cartier-Bresson

Oh, how I love the flair
of your gorgeus imperfections
and your unarming, honest smile!

You know?
Marilyn Manson
You like to mock me
because I rock.
You want to fuck me
because I trust.
You like to taunt me
because I stunt.
You want to taint me
because I glow.
You like to knock me
because I love.
You want to break me
because you lost.
How sad.
You could be happy too,
you know?

The muscle of my love
Presentimiento, from the series Vanitas by Fernando Vicente
www.fernandovicente.es
www.fernandovicente.es
In the kindest embrace
and the saddest letting go,
the muscle of my love
longs for touching you
as it hopes to be touched by yours
and stay strong and flexible.
Through between the rusty bars
of the darkest prison,
the fingers of my love
yearn to caress your cheeks
and reach your hands
even for the faintest instant.
The muscle of my love
awakes and reaches out,
stretching its open arms,
languishing to hold you firmly,
to wrap you gently, to feel you softly
in the feeblest of the nights.
Like a dancer who can’t speak
of the future or of the past,
my love for you moves about;
at times clumsily, at times graciously,
as the muscle of my love sings freedom
at the mere thought of your bare beauty.

About lonesome love and other distances
Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada, from Lone Pine, California, by Ansel Adams.
Here I am again:
another still silhouette
standing helplessly
among the edges
of the highest margins.
between clustered clouds
and vast horizons
of distant, rising valleys.
Holding the torch
of my childish heart
the unarmoured echo
of my stubborn words
gallops loudly.
Squalling in protest,
my broken voice
strides relentlessly
in resilient, resonant rallies:
Why don't you?
Why don't you dare, my love?
Why?
another still silhouette
standing helplessly
among the edges
of the highest margins.
between clustered clouds
and vast horizons
of distant, rising valleys.
Holding the torch
of my childish heart
the unarmoured echo
of my stubborn words
gallops loudly.
Squalling in protest,
my broken voice
strides relentlessly
in resilient, resonant rallies:
Why don't you?
Why don't you dare, my love?
Why?

Farewell
Dali Ruby Lips source: www.rdujour.com
When my eyes won't shed a tear
as they silently scream my sadness;
as they silently scream my sadness;
when my lips won't tremble
as they battle my sobbing, bitingly quiet,
then you'll know
that my heart is aching
and desperately fighting
to be the strongest in the longest day
as I wave you farewell
for ever, my love, for ever.

Strength
Every backlash in life is a golden opportunity to rediscover our strength and passionately enact our principles.

To the aching child in me
The Egg by Salvador Dalí
It will all be OK, my baby
I know how much you're hurting
But your heart is big and strong,
like the sea, like the sun
and you're so beautiful.

On the edges of love
Here's the image:
You and I standing
on the fragile edges of love,
I on yours, you on mine,
arms wide open and ready
to unfold our hovering wings,
capriciously teasing the gusts
and the wheezy tender breeze.
You and I standing
on the fragile edges of love,
I on yours, you on mine,
arms wide open and ready
to unfold our hovering wings,
capriciously teasing the gusts
and the wheezy tender breeze.
Icarus by Henry Matisse
The question is whether or not
we'll still be facing other
and if then, without faltering,
together we'll jump into the abyss
and dance to the laughing wind
very softly, and so damn closely
even if it's just for a little while.
Love lullaby
Under the dimmed moon,
the spark of your bright eyes,
lighting up my dreams
as I close mine.
the spark of your bright eyes,
lighting up my dreams
as I close mine.
Chagall 'Lovers with Half Moon, 1926

In style
(Shoe by Christian Louboutin)
I want those glittery shoes
with skyscraper heels
and thick platforms.
I also want to walk in them
smoothly and gracefully,
just like Jesus did
on wavy waters.
Amen.

The itch of exhaustion
Definition:
When you realise that still there are
so many great things to do,
but you're anxious and exhausted
and your inner flame is gradually fading
after spending too much time doing things
that made you itchy and feel not as great,
only if...
But if you happen to feel the itch of exhaustion,
grab the chance! let it pierce your heart
and be kind to it, don't fear it, listen to it
because it's telling you that it's time
to live again, to create a star from candlelight,
that same star you always wanted to become,
no matter how big or distant,
or simple and humble,
you'll always shine on,
but only if
you remain true
to your real passion.

So close to happiness (with very little effort)
If only we lived constantly
in the flow of this truth:
that we're far away from being perfect
and so close to happiness!
If only we could forgive
without any doubt
everything can make sense
with very little effort.

Funny little speech (reflection on the truth & written very, very humbly)
What was that shit-whole something all about?
What’s the purpose of it if not to honour the truth in hilarious ways? Why would i speak to all of you with false words and white lies when i know that my little speech could lift or break your spirits? or simply put you to sleep? Why would i be false instead of telling you of the intention of my silly words, which is wholesome, even when i fail to make bloody clear what some whole shit is all about?
Forgive me if I curse, I fucking don’t mean it. Forgive me if I forget to acknowledge your ‘little self’ when I get distracted by my ample ego. Forgive me if you expected me to entertain you like a stand-up comedian, but fuck it! I won't. And this is the simple truth: 'me sucks at jokes, even at cleverly ones'.

Winter romance
No, it’s not the cold outside,
but the warmth in your eyes
that makes my lips tremble;
and I still long for another kiss,
this time with no lies, no ties,
without labels.
without labels.
Like a magic spell
in this sudden fable,
I confess,
I surrender,
this time I suspect
love is inescapable.
love is inescapable.
In a maze of doubts,
and haunting shadows
the temple of freedom
patiently awaits us,
as we slowly walk
through icy streets,
through icy streets,
holding hands, firmly, tightly,
with smiling hearts
and a world of dreams ahead of us.
