Corriente electrica (Electronic Pulses)

Pulsos sincronizantes

Corriente electrica

Viajando atravez de la tarjeta madre

Ranuras de silicio

Circulando atravez de las fibras opticas

Amor, angustia, tristeza

Corriendo por el circuito

Esperando a que lleguen a tus manos

Recorriendo cada esquina del computador

Hacia tu bandeja de entrada

Esperando que no falle

Que no llegue al lugar incorrecto

Esperando a que lo puedas leer

Que no llegue al lugar oscuro

Para nunca ser visto

Por los portales de tu alma y corazon

En el brillo del centro de tu vida

Esperando que leas la luz de mi alma

En forma de palabras y pensamientos

Para que animen tu ser

Para tan solo decir dos palabras

Te Amo

En una carta

Corriente Electrica

Electronic Pulses

Pulsing, Drifting,

Electron speed

Paths on a motherboard

Silicon highways

Cycling around through Fiber optics

Love, Anguish, sadness

Running through and Through

Hoping it will get there

Running towards your computer

Toward your email box

Hoping it does not collide

Collide with someone else’s mail

Hoping it will not be marked trash

Or Bulk mail; never to be seen by

By your mirrored souls

Portals to your heart and soul

Within the glitter of your life's eye

Hoping you will read the light of my soul

Within the shape of words and thoughts

To lift your heart and soul

To basically to say three words

I love you

In a letter

Nova en el Espacio (Nova in the Sky)

Concentrado en la oscuridad de la noche

Una vez que el sol silenciosamente se escondia

Comtemplaba, examinaba y observaba

El centro de tus ojos

Concentrado en ese brillo sin igual

Viendo el cielo fundido en tu alma

La estrella en la que nos difundimos

La cual encuentro cada vez que duermo

Mientras mi alma medita

Encuentro la estrella mas Hermosa en el firmamento

La gloria en tus ojos

Tan reluciente como un cielo en un 4 de Julio

Tantos ensuenos

Tan profundos

Belleza pura deffinida for Dios

Veo una ola de esperan za venir de tus ojos

Desde el brillo de tu penumbra

Tus ojos, tus ojos castanas en una noche estrellada

Acobijados por una rafaga de viento

Alumbrados por una estrella

Titilando y alum Brando sobre nosotros

Presenciando el amor q se disuelve en el aire

Ese amor q te brinde

Ese amor q solo nosotros conocemos

Que aumenta cada vez mas

Como una llama

Como un huracan

En tan solo una noche

Percibiendo una estrella tan lejana

Sonriendo y recordando

La belleza de esa estrella desvanecida

cambia do de una luz a otra

Llevandose mis preocupaciones

Pensamientos futuros

Sonrio y espero por la proxima estrella

A quien le pertinence

Solo Dios sabra

Nova estelar

Alumbrando todo el firmamento

Titilando en otros corazones

En otros ojos

Nova en el espacio

En tus ojos

Nova in the Sky

Staring in the blackness of the night's sky

Once the sun as silently went to sleep

Staring, Staring, Staring

In your centers of your eyes

Staring at the glitter in your eyes

Seeing the sky within your soul

The star that I peer upon

Seeing it every moment as I close my eyes

As I stare in my soul

Peering at the most beautiful star in the sky

Your sky in your eye

Sparkling like a 4th of July sparkler

So many dreams

So strong; Strength for others

Beauty on defined by God

As I see as a wave comes from your eye

From your glitter within your sky

Your eyes, your brownish eyes, in the starry sky.

As I sway in the cosmic wind in the sky

As the star goes super bright

Then collapse outward and back in

Peering, seeing the particles

Of our love that I gave for you

Go in flame and flaring up

Into the night sky

Observing on a distant star

Smiling and remembering

How that beautiful star fades

Changing into another light

Flaring away my thoughts

Future thoughts

I smile and await another star

Whose eye it will be

Only god will know.

Nova in the Sky

Lighting up upon the sky

Glowing in another’s heart

In another eye

Nova in the sky

In your eye

Pequena Semilla de Sauce (Traveling Willow Seed )

Pequena semilla de sauce

De valor a tu alcanze

Viento de vida

Sin saber tu rumbo

Tan fragil y ligera

Pero llena de voluntad

Fuerte para encontrar tu lugar

Dispuesta a todo

A adaptarte al ambiente

Prospera e ingenua

En tiempos de necesidad

Para llenar de amor al ser mas cercano

Fuerza

Amor

Es per anza

Crearan

Una cobija

Para sembrar tus valores

En terreno solido

Para dejar huella

Tan fragile como una cascara de huevo

Que se tropieza con una etapa ardua de la vida

Abusada

Maltra tada

Naciendo donde no ahi tierra firme

Indecisa a germinar

Enganada

Muerte lenta

Dolorosa

Colapsando

Estallando en mil pedazos

Corazon partido

Carencia de amor

Sin poder nacer

Sin nunca poder hallar algo mas

Mas alla de tus raices

La ruta de la vida; la llevas en tus raices

Solo Dios la conoce

Pequena semilla de sauce q atraviesa los caminos de la vida.

Traveling Willow Seed

Willow Seed in the wind of life

A wind of God

Not knowing where it might land

Strong of will but fragile

Strong to find a place on day

If the environment is loving

Nourishing and loving

A time of great blankets of care

To shed love to that one

Strength

Love

Faith

Will create

A foundation

To plant roots

In strong soil

To leave a legacy

Fragile like an egg

If dropped upon a hard slated surface of life

Abused

Mistreated

Landing where there is no soil

Fooled to sprout

Deceived

Slow death

Pain

Collapsing

Exploding heart

Broken heart

Lack of love

Never sprouting

Never finding anything

Life; It is all up to our destination

God only knows

Willow seed traveling along

The wind of life.

Suenos estelares (Dreams of Stardust )

Viajando entre la realidad y la fantasia

Viendo la mujer de mis suenos, esa mujer anhelada

En una noche de penumbra

A la hora perfecta

Los vientos cosmicos de un minuto

Traen con ellos ese Segundo

Donde tus ojos

Encuentran el polvo magico

Entre el iris cosmico

De tu alma

Imaginando el hombre de tus suenos

Reflejado en el agua

Bajo un arbol triste y lloron

Donde tu alma

comparte con las demas

Los suenos no tienen hora

No tienen tiempo exacto en el reloj

Goza mientras puedas

Sientiendote libre y maravillosa

Sintiendote como una princesa

Porque en tu mundo lo eres

En tus suenos tienes tu hombre añorado

El tiempo perfecto

El lugar perfecto

La belleza de sus ojos

Se envuelve en tu Corazon

Tu alma

Tu ser maravilloso

Despues de un momento

Escuchas un sonido

Vez una luz

Atravezando la ventana

Todo desaparece

El mundo bajo el arbol

El lago se seca

El agua de siempre

El Corazon se quiebra

Abres el portal

La ventana de tu alma

Para notar q ya estas de regreso

Rompiste el encanto

Dudaste de la verdad

Dejaste escapar tu mundo magico

Tu Corazon soñador desvanecio

Ya no es realidad

Pero quedo en tu memoria

Un sueno

Otro mundo

Otra realidad

Completamente se evaporan

Porque dudaste

Rompiendo un sueno

Despertando

No sonaras mas

Se desvance el polvo estelar

En el cielo

Suenos magicos que volveran

Dreams of Stardust

Awakening from real to dream

Seeing that dream woman that you always wanted

Within the nights starry night

At that right hour

The cosmic winds of the minute

Brings that second

Where your eye

Catches that stardust

Upon your shimmering Iris

Of your soul

Seeing the man of your dreams

In a reflection pool

Under a weeping Willow tree

Where your soul touches

The soul of others

Dreams have no time

No hands on the clock

Live a lifetime in your existence

Feeling free and wonderful

Feeling as a princess

Because in your world you are

In your dream you have your man

That perfect time

That perfect place

The beauty within her eye

Wraps around your heart

Your soul

Your wonderful being

Then you hear a ringing

A light

Through the window

Things shimmer away

Withering the weeping willow

Drying of the lake

The pool of forever

The heart stops

You open your shades

Upon your soul; your brown soul

To realize you are back

You broke the dream

You doubted the truth

You let go of your true reality

Your dream heart faded

No longer real

But a part of your memory

A dream

Another world

Another Reality

Completely just vapors

Because you doubted

Breaking the dream

Awakening

Dream no more

Fading upon Stardust

In the sky

Dreams of Stardust

Recordando esa estrella (Remembering that Star)

Noche estrellada

Que ilumina tu Mirada

Destello del mas alla

Centro de mi pensar

Chispa magica que me pone a volar

chispa de alegria en tu mirada

Un infinito lleno de estrellas

Estrellas fugaces

Meteoros relampagantes

Pequenas piedras llenas de poder

Que Cruzan nuestro cielo

Estrellas candentes

Que se llevan nuestros deseos

Luceros del mas alla

Que nos ayudan a reflexionar

Llenos de esperanza para el futuro

Luceros comparados con tu sonrisa

Destellos que salen de tu alma

Del reflejo de tu Mirada

Estrellas ardientes

Paseando en mi Corazon

Atravez de mi
