Ciudad en el cuerpo

April 4, 2011

estámos listos a escapar
esta ciudad que no da olor?
las paredes despintadas
dan concierto a mi dolor.

no he probado nada cerca a mi
que de mas ardor,
que la distancia úrbana
que escurre sangre
de cabeza al corazón

mentira que destina el hecho y
yo sigo en enfermar
me da miedo pero nunca voy pa’tras

estámos listos a escaparnos
de éstas luces que dan olor?
Las sonrisas estan mezcladas con
miradas de dolor

no he probado nada cerca a mi
que de mas ardor,
que la distancia úrbana
que escurre sangre
de cabeza al corazón

mentira que destina el hecho y
yo sigo en enfermar
Me da miedo pero nunca voy pa’tras

me enroncho en mis lágrimas
sin parar de respirar
corro en miedo pero nunca voy pa’tras

A Silhouette with a Shadow

April 3, 2011

I’m slowly making my home here,
where the sunlight bathes your naked branches,
I’m changing color as time dictates,
and gravity determines my place among the height of the air

If I survive the end of the winter
please see it as a sign that I will always be with you,
and that my blood thickens as i decay,
just remember to wear your heart as you sleep,
because it heals me in slumber,
and I forget the cold winter night and look forward to the brighter days

Those days when I could fall and
frolic with the wind without touching the ground.
Dancing and painting with my arms a beautiful array of colors
This picture is beautiful, it’s a smear at a distance,
but in my mind it’s engraved on tablets written by your beautiful hand,
Your the foreground to the moon and the contrast to this canvas,
a silhouette with a shadow and a home to my heart.

Untitled

April 2, 2011

avoid this hollow heart beat,
it echoes through the empty
you know i love your soul
even if its scarred permanently

a scarecrow seizures while
awaiting for your voice,
drowning in my own tears
has always been my choice

you’re my silent addiction
in a loud universe,
forgetting you completely
is like forgetting this fragile verse

this has never been about me
the vividness and glamour,
its always about you, your eyes,
your skin, and your beautiful manner

Levanter

April 1, 2011
I lay here on the bathroom floor with my arms extended,
I’m reaching for the crash of the waves from the distance,
As my eyes close my ears are awakened
From the corner a hint of noise is created and consumes my body,
The sirens born of tragedy are kept alive in their irony,
And they project themselves with the help of the Levanter I die everyday and I’m reborn at sunrise,
And what you see from me is both a memory and a reincarnation,
Someone who I long to be and someone that I want to love,

Although solitary in state, I belong to everyone who listens,
And so with great empathy I give you my silence,
A silence that contains the extent of my being
So that when im not around, my spirit will be there

The levanter is the wind that carries the voice,
The part of the universe that empathizes and saturates emotion.
Without it wars would never end and hearts would never heal,

Although strong by nature, even a prayer for warmth is attended,
A simple embrace for comfort and a plea for forgiveness,
Because when we forgive, our ongoing hatred as humans is erased,
Our faces are faceless and only the soul can be seen

A Poem Everyday

April 1, 2011

We are currently writing material for an album and in the process we are referencing our other artistic venues such as art and poetry. We want to share our original poetry/ free writing with you guys so that you can see in a personal level where we draw inspiration for our lyrics. Many times the shape of a poem will change when it reaches a lyrical medium. You will be able to see some of these poems become lyrics for our new material. The content and writing style will vary in style and language ( Spanish, English) because of the fact that we are various members and each poem is treated differently.

For the month of April we will post up a new poem everyday for your viewing. Hope you enjoy and engage yourselves.
