a simple twist of fate

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark,
She looked at him and he felt a spark
tingle to his bones.
'Twas then he felt alone
and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
....
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin,
but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring,
but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

ya que quieres que escriba

Mis pies están hechos de piedras del camino,
de huellas milenarias encontradas,
de árboles que pasan mojando la memoria.

Mis pasos están hechos para no ser encontrados,
para que tu futuro se dibuje sin mi mano,
para que un aroma de bosque te recuerde la lumbre.

Hay hombres que tienen un destino escrito
otros, en cambio, pertenecen a lo posible.
Yo soy de los primeros. Con corazón y dientes

arranco a cada segundo un metro de esta cumbre
de soledad de aristas solas como una luna.
Orgullosas de ser montañas desde lejos,

y tristes porque siempre estarán deshabitadas.

don't think twice, it's allright

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, girl
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, girl
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, girl
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

sueño

No sueño. No duermo.
Se me rompen los labios
como frágiles mensajeros de palabras ausentes.
No seré Hamlet porque no sueño.
Veo una ninfa, un reflejo enmarcado en roble
y me desmayo con mi esperanza en los brazos,
evidente cual mosca en un talud de nieve.
Me alimento de instantes y reflejos
que mastico sin sueños
porque no duermo.
Se me pasan las horas congelado
y roto en mis labios rotos.
El invierno ha huído para todos
y se refugia en mi casa como un exiliado impertinente.
Lo tolero y no duermo.
Los ojos oscuros de las calaveras esperan
a llenarse con mis lágrimas.
Cerceno los brotes de ternura
en una noche interminable.
Supongo,
ya sólo supongo
que Ofelia me espera bajo el agua.
