trancisiones

los años de juventud, la vida sin ninguna vicisitud.
La tierra nos da de comer, el sudor de la frente, lagrimas por el presente
Se nos derramo la leche y el agua caliente, se nos fue el dinero para el futuro.
Se nos hizo muy chiquita, muy chiquita la bolsa del interior.
Los años de la vejez, la vida sin que alguno se interese, mas el pobre Viejo.
La tierra nos dio de comer, el sudor cedo de caer, y las lagrimas rodaron por el pasado
Se nos hizo corta la vida, larga la noche, y tiempo se empolvo de ayer a ahora
Se nos hizo muy grande la deuda, muy grande las ganas y muy pocos los dolares.
El tiempo pasa, la gente se va y se viene, la economia cae y sube, la Guerra comienza y termina y el sol sale como cualquier otro dia de rutina en una manana matutina.

amor pasajero

Una aventura pasajera que lleva a un amor de quimera.
Un abrazo de hasta luego, un madrugada sin dinero.
Un amor de viernes por la noche, de pocos besos de mucha passion y poco amor
La verdad es que te extrano. Si.

La tarde se hace noche y tu cabello de princesa se enrolla en mi Corazon de pobreza
La noche llega y tu mirada me conquista, mientras tu te desvites en tiempo sideral.
Y tus abrazos me completan, y tu sonrisa atributo celestial me mata sin querer matar.

La madrugada regresa y tu te vas
Amores de tardes y noches que se van
Besos cinicos, ilusos, prohibidos, apasionados
Y por la madrugad olvidados.

un amor diferente

Me encantaria verte de frente y decirte te quiero con conviccion
Mientras el dolor de largo invierno y un fuego interno mata mi Corazon
Es un dolor de madrugada, de dias sin mananas, de amor sin querer

Me gustaria tomarte de la mano y decirte lo tanto que te amo, yo.
Mientras te veo partir lejos de mi amor, tras un tren sin rumbo sigo y pierdo.
Es toda una vida por la que te he querido, por Dios dame la razon

Me doleria mucho olvidarte y recordarte como siempre, como hoy
Mientras mi Corazon late lentamente, atado a una triste cancion
Es mi vida la que te llevas contigo, es mi, so yo el unico que te amo asi.

Shall I always look for more
Shall I stay and pray for more more
Shall I stand and say no more

Ifs and don’ts that carry no weight
A sense of restrain that truncates my strengths
And if I don’t go now I will never go
and then I say good bye, good bye

Shall I go and leave the door to my heart open
If I stay I shall forever regret this
And if I go I will try to learn some more
Some more, some more of what I have already learned

May tomorrow be the same as today
May today be the same as yesterday
May you never change, and the life scurries away
and today I say goodbye, goodbye

shall I always look for more
shall I stay and pray for more more and more
shall I stand and say no more no more

The adventures of a Salvadorean girl in CA: un encuentro por casualidad

The adventures of a Salvadorean girl in CA: un encuentro por casualidad

your name

Sometimes your memories creep into my uninterrupted journey.
Memories that I have left scurried away, memories that do not matter, nor do I care.
In an infinite universe your name lingers and surprises me at the most inopportune time.
Your voice echoes in the sky, your names shows up in a flower, you are here and I just want you to be nowhere.
As I sit to get a cup of coffee, a few hellos, a couple of goodbyes and there you are lingering in my heart, or is it my mind?
Trickles fall in the cup below, and I look away at the killer sunset, at the people walking by, at the people that seem no to care about this that I live everyday.

simple things in life

she told me of simple things that I could barely comprehend, because my mind had made them complex.
she told me that a song has meaning behind the music notes, and I listen instead of just hearing it.
that the wind every now and then can be heard whispering, and I stood still to listen while I stop the turbulence inside.
she made me look at a rainbow in a different way, to look for the color within the colors and find a meaning to them. And for the first time I saw that to every storm there after was a wonderful sky.
she looked into my eyes and told me to smile, to live life, to travel to places, to love with all my heart, to say no regrets only adventures that did not turn to my liking. She looked into my eyes, and there it was love.

Today

While my mind wonders on tomorrow, my hands write of what happens today. Today blessings of wisdom, of greetings, of many thanks, of a multitude of smiles and an I love you, filled a moment in time. Yes today, like everyday I thought of what will happen tomorrow sometimes letting today slide away, preoccupations with no basis. Today, I ate in a rush, I said good bye without looking behind. As time went by my thoughts revealed of what I needed to do tonight. As time progressed I remember to write down today is today and when I stop the clock I saw children played, I saw a world that I had forgotten to see, I saw the world through my heart, colored by my emotions, listen to every laugh around and inside, I stop hearing the mundane chatter outside. There it was crystal clear today with all it glorious gifts waiting for me.

To the loves of yesterday.


Con el pasar del tiempo me acuerdo de su rostro, de su mirada y su sonrisa de primavera.
The first time I met her. She was giving a speech about some topic that now my mind seems to forget.
Mis ojos no dejaron de mirar hacia el podio, y mi corazon no pudo mas que dar unos brinquitos y tomar unos supiros que hoy me recurdo yo.
And time went by and time showed me that sometimes the heart might be wrong, the time might be wrong or just the chemistry might be astray before I knew it she told me she was not right for me, I was not right for her...and on and on went bye bye my love.
Con el tiempo, a pesar de todos mi destrozados sentimientos, la conoci, un poco timida, un poco servicial, un poco ingenua, y un poco cordial.
She would be the one that would make me feel like the world was mine, like the world was ours..and nobody else existed at the time.
Oh pero las historias de fantasia ya no existen hoy en dia, y por lo tanto se fue, diciendome que su carerra era mas importante, que sus padres no entenderian esto que es algo traumante...
But the heart is a farsante...why would somobody asked..well because it fell for the right person but the wrong time again...as she was trying to be my friend but I saw it as something else.
La conoci en un noviembre de llovizna torrentes, de calles cerradas por construcciones, de citas tardias, de conversaciones amenas..de te podre ver para otra cena...
Oh but what a great time we had, we broke up more than several times..we cried, we laugh, we stay up until the sun came up and she realized she love her ex boyfriend and decided to say good bye..
oh, the beautiful mysteries of life that leave more than a bittersweet taste to our mouths...and to all I loved and to all I said, thank you girls for adventures that nobody can ever replicate.

para ti

Es que te quiero sin censura, sin ninguna duda,
Te quiero con todo lo que traes hermosura
Te quiero con tres palabras, con ocho colones, con dos pesos y un dolar.
Mi amor te describe bella, sincera, y amable
Mi mente te describe mujer, radiante y amante
Mi alma te ama por lo que eres, por lo que no eres y por mucho mas.
Es que te quiero sin censura, con pobreza o riqueza
Te quiero hoy, manana, y siempre.
Te quiero por debajo del mar, por encima del cielo
Mi amor, rio de risas, mar de dulzura, cascadas de amor

por el presente

En un dia de estos se me olvido recordar de donde yo venia,
se me olvido re contar mis suenos de fantasias
se me olvido decir que venia de un pueblo, lleno de polvo y ganas
se me olvido decir que por las tardes miraba hacia el orizonte y sonaba estar en un lejano sueno del norte
se me olvido describe las voces de todos los que me decian que no era inutil sonar
y hoy me acorde que todo aquello no era fantasa era realidad
me acorde de las gans de triunfar, me acorde de las penas, de las pocas alegrias, de las muchas fantasias
y hoy mirando al ocidente me acuerdo de un sueno lejano, de un sueno sureno que refleja mi presente.
me acorde de toda la gente, me acorde otra ves que estoy a qui por un sueno de mi gente.

un encuentro por casualidad

los juegos de la infancia, que solian durar horas, durar minutos, segundos interminables.
Los juegos que jugabamos sin pensar en el manana o en el pasado. Y poco a poco el pasado paso el futuro vino y nos cambio y sin saber nos encontramos a los 23. Lamentos del pasado, lamentos de un amor truncado, de un amor sin razon, de un amor que tal ves perdio su corazon a los quince.
Un poco de tristeza nos envuelve, una melancolia que nunca nos abandono se presupone en tus ojos de quinceanera.
un poco de tristeza en mis ojos se conmienza a sentir en mi corazon latiendo sin cesar de un amor de quimera.
y poco a poco comenzamos un platica amena, una platica sin sentido, ni principio o fin.
y como te va? y te has casado ya? y donde vives? tocando temas que no toquen el pasado, dejando todo aquello que fue una historia de fantasia alla atras, por de bajo de los arboles en un dia de verano, en un dia de escuela, en un beso primero, en un amor inedito. Tienes tiempo para un cafe? no, pero que bueno verte...bueno espero verte otra ves...
te vas y se te olvida pedirme mi numero, mi direccion, pero eso ya era de adivinarse. cordialidades de apariencias,abrazos a medias. Te veo partir y recuerdo tu beso y te digo adios.

I finally met you

finally, I have found you, finally among the people, on the streets that I walk everyday.
I have walked miles, kilometers to be here where i am today to share a meal with you and to tell you I care.
Behind me there are a memories that I forget, that I remember and that i no longer care.
A myriad of little movies that play in my head and tell me somehow this day is worth its weight in gold.
As I see you sitting right in front of me, a thousand questions pop into my head, but none matter today. Only that you are here with me, or that I am here with you.
Emotions surface and nothing but elation seems to surrounds the moment in time.
a morning so glorious as today. I say hi, and the day scurries away

when i think of my past....


when you imagine the person you are going to spend the rest of your life...well sometimes is not quite the same thing..but better..:)
When I first heard about her, all that I could think was "what a nerd"
when I got introduced to her all that I could think was "she is nice"
when I went out for the first time with her all I could think was "she is really really nice"
when I went home and I did not see her, all that I could think was "I miss her"
when I came back from home all I could think was " when can I see her again"
when I declared her my love, all that i could think was "i hope she feels the same way"
When she left to another state all I could think was "when would she be back?"

almost ten years later all that I can think is "i love her so much"

a cheer to the uncheer

la pobreza del corazon es nada mas que pobreza sin razon.
la necesidad del dolor es necesidad de amor
y la tristeza solo quiere alegria cada dia
como te he de dar algo que no es tangible
como te he de ofrecer la cantidad de filosofia y un poco de alegria?
y si, a qui te la doy
manana por la manana despiertate como cual quier otro dia
pero acuerdate de mi y mi compania
acuerdate que como buen amigo aqui estare y estoy deseandote lo mejor de todo corazon.

The lonely nights, the fireworks, the lovely nights, the caress on your face
The peculiar music notes that this specific song drops on us.
The first kiss that rushes through the spine and leaves nothing to the imagination
A hot summer night, with no plan, but to enjoy life
With five dollars in my pocket, with a dream in your eyes
With three gallons of gas, and the beach in front of our eyes
A hot summer night, with no plan but to enjoy your smile.

waiting for you

The color of your eyes melts my heart away
And the sweet smell of your hair leaves my senses in awe.
The sensations of the colors that surround the afternoon leave me with a sense of sadness
As I see you go, to never come back.
I see you walk away and your silhouette becomes smaller and smaller until it disappears.
The sun is now gone and I sit on this rock waiting for your love to come back and give me the light.

the day started

Starting today the sun shines on the other window sill
I just saw your smile and the day just started.
And between I love you and I will see you later the day began
With a possibility in my heart with hope in your eyes the day began
And I saw you depart.
As time went by, as time flew by, as time pass by, the day ended
And at the end there was me but not us.
As time flew by, as time pass by, your heart lost me in the quest to live
My heart took the wrong turn in the lust street, and at the end of the day
There was only you, but no us.
Starting today the sun does not shine in this window sill no more
I just saw the picture on the table and the day started
And between coffee, and the news the day started
With a possibility to love again, with the hope to find you someday
As I depart
Time went by, time flew by, time pass by and
In my mind I hope there is the possibility for us, someday, somehow.

tomorrow

you know you seen better days than today...
you know today, will be tomorrow's yesterday
as I liberate my mind of imprisonment
there will be tomorrow a better day than today...
and tomorrow will be nothing like today.
as I laid in my bed, the residuals of today linger on every step
as i walk toward my bed, i remember the dismissal of somebody in power
the negative responses to somebody's sexuality
the irony of having friends that would rather hurt you and smile while at it...
the oxymoron of having great content on a paper but forgetting a coma and failing the test.
the feeling of culpability for not being able to grieve at command.
the emotions that i now leave behind, as i lay to sleep and remember that tomorrow will be better than today, where there will be no racism, homophobia, ignorance, hypocrisy, hunger, pain,and prejudice....tomorrow will be a better day....

I still remember her smell, and her words that she left underneath my skin
I still remember the few notes she wrote me while I found myself in love
And I wonder if she remembers me every now and then
And I wonder if she recalls my name when that song plays
In between days and weeks I found myself figuring out my life
In between her words my love got lost and her love fell through
I still remember her name
I still remember her face
I wonder
I wonder
The end.

un consejo.......

Desde la punta de cielo te miro y observo bajo un dia bello.
Desde la orilla del oceano te llamo y te doy consuelo.
termino por decirte que no hay amor sin dolor, que no hay valor sin combardia
que hoy muero yo, pero manana vive la vida.
que los dias no terminan pero comienzan a cada momento con bellos sentimientos.
termino por convercerte que sigas adelante que un camino estelar espera por encontrarte

my theory


oh the philosophical theories of social order, and socialization.....if by any chance those philosophers would have stop and actually socialize and talk...instead wrote theories that try to intellectualize every emotion, every gesture, every breath that comes out of the human being. If person A said something to person B, then person B will respond,....or may be not....
If you are self, but not I, but yet Me.....(get it?)

If you are face...yet loose it in the process....hence...you are that and the social order tells you that you are that way.....


but wait there is empirical evidence that tells me this is the way I shall rationalize my behavior or the behavior of others.....and blah..blah..blah....
in the meantime..I dream about a brighter future...where I can be me...and I can be happy ...and a time where a theory goes to prove that happiness is achievable if A plus B can get along no matter how hard the road gets..how tough the task is, or how long it takes.......

first citizen or second citizen at the table

..what does it feel to become the second citizen at the table.....
is it when you are not address to?
is it when your mother's girlfriend introduces her son's girlfriend but forgets to introduce me ? as her daughter's fiance?
is it when you so so wish...to tell everybody...that your girlfriend is happy!!but can't because well you do not speak the language..
how many times I have sat listening, pondering, joining on how to be a better girlfriend...how to achieve the top so I can tell her family...yes I am deserving of her, yes I make enough money...yes, I drive a nice..car....and yes....I am a girl...and I am your daughter's fiance..and I deserve her..just like your son deserves his girlfriend....
When am I going to be become first citizen at the table?....may be never...but one thing is for sure....I got the girl...and that is all that it matters....because in her heart and my heart....we are already first citizens.
