lonely carousel


It's a look this game we play
We can't escape, we have to attend
Its life you see

When I have tried to amuse myself
To celebrate the funfair
The pleasures I seek are far too discreet for me

After I try to discover the answers to why
To look for a meaning
Inside of this dreaming I have

And words that I've said, they spin around
Waltzing alone inside my head
Nothing will change, it's always the same
Please make it stop

And all the time the world unwinds
I can't deny the way I feel
The truth is lost beyond this lonely carousel

And all these words, they mean nothing at all
Just a cruel remedy a strange tragedy
Of what will be

And all the time the world unwinds
I can't deny the way I feel
The truth is lost beyond this carousel

photiana

A friend of mine asked me to take some photos and work them on photoshop. She wants to have one of her portraits printed on canvas. I will be uploading a series of this work here. Any comments or preferences are most welcome.

everything just blows me away


"Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."
 Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle)

Loca

Mis voces son aire vuelan
mis lunas son soles mientes
mis días son tierra pesan
mis ojos son aguafuentes

como me pesan las alas
ganas de besarte aire
mis plumas están cansadas
haz que mi corazón baile

 Soledad en compañía
versos que vuelven besos
cuídenme el alma mía
sin disfrazar los silencios

quiero mi duda infinita
tanto vino tinto y verte
mi dulce es quererte
 
 
loca ,loquita loca
así es mi boca
aunque bese con sus frutas
de palabra se equivoca
 
 
déjame vivir la vida
tierra mar y pinos verdes.

The Honeybee Manifesto




Take only what you need
Beautiful things take dirty work
There is order in disorder
There are dances (and art) in the day-to-day
You can survive on work and flowers alone
Hurting others only hurts yourself
Likewise hurting yourself only hurts others
Creativity is the key to happiness, and staying alive

Ditty of First Desire

In the green morning
I wanted to be a heart.
A heart.
And in the ripe evening
I wanted to be a nightingale.
A nightingale.
(Soul,
turn orange-colored.
Soul,
turn the color of love.)
In the vivid morning
I wanted to be myself.
A heart.
And at the evening's end
I wanted to be my voice.
A nightingale.
Soul,
turn orange-colored.
Soul,
turn the color of love.

Federico Garcia Lorca, "Selected Verse"
