Ojos Del Pasado

Verdes,
Como los valles
Antes del verano.
Verde, aquellos ojos
Que en la distancia de mi memoria
Solo quedan sombras
De ese momento,
De ese instante
Que cambio mi destino.
En la carretera de mi memoria
Esos, ojos verdes
Recorren
Y alguna veces causan que mi corazón
Frene en seco,
Como hace tantas lunas atrás.
Y en el verde de mi pasado
Reposo con mi sonrisa
Y la de ella,
Que a milímetros querían encontrarse.

Nota: En el pasado existen eventos que te cambian como persona. Al igual me paso que en mi pasado paso una mujer que solo con mirarme me frenaba los sentidos, el tiempo se detenía y mi sonrisa se prolongaba. Al hablar con una bella dama, me puse a pensar en esos ojos verdes que viven marcados en mi memoria, y que hoy en día, me hacen sonreír. Gracias Mar por esa mirada tuya que revive bellos recuerdos.

What If?

What if I were
Ready, You know?
Ready to be consumed in your fire
To be thrown into your vision.
What if I were ready
Ready to breathe the scent of you
The aroma of your inspired soul,
Ready to be a paragraph
Shaped by your pen.
What if I were
Ready now,
Ready at the moment of your waking
Reading as your eyes create dawn
And ask for my words to unravel
In your sunlight.
What if I were
Ready, you know?
For the world that you will sketch upon my pages
My curiosity asks
Would you take me?
If....

Note: A need arises to drop small mementos of inspirations from my past as my inspirations of today take shape. This small piece I created as a response to a question I was asked. There is an inherent fear of committing body and soul to someone. I guess in a way, small scares of pains past always linger, yet we always ask this question " Am I ready?". One thing I have learned, is never to fear emotional pain, but to embrace possibility. That is also a lesson that my dear friend Sarah teaches me. That great love never dies, no matter the pain behind it, it breathes, it seeks and sooner or later it will find our hearts opening its doors to love once more.

Thank you Sarah.. Big hugs your way.
