Description      V

Llego a un lugar que tengo que dar
Mis saludos y dejo un lugar que
Doy mis despedidas.

En los ojos de alguien nativo, no hay.
En los ojos de un inmigrante, si hay.

Millones y millones de extranjeros
Que no puedo empezar a describir.

Y un monje del monasterio me dice,
En su lengua, “Viejo es el río pero se
Queda nuevo”.
Y también me dijo, “El camino siempre
Esta y cada día pasan caminantes
Nuevos”.

Cual camino he de seguir y
Quien me seguirá
Son las preguntas correctas.

Pero quien fue antes y sí este
Camino es el correcto son
Las preguntas secundarias.
     x x x

      VI

Imperfecciones son las más perfectas
En todo el mundo, en toda la vida.

Hay rocas que caen y
Aguas que secan.
Hojas verdes cambian a amarillo o marrón
Y flores mueren.

Nada vivo es vivo sino
Puede morir y si no vives
Ya estas muerto.

Imperfecta es la vida.
Imperfecta es la tierra.
Imperfecto es el corazón.
Perfectos son los imperfectos
     Y nada va a cambiar eso.

Y te amo en todo esto.
      x x x

       VII

Explanaciones por declaraciones y
Respuestas por preguntas no te puedo dar
Porque solamente soy humano.
Tengo mis ideas y tienes las tuyas.

Adiós, me voy por un continente
Lejos y no te voy a ver pero
En mi corazón te tengo.

Adiós, no me vas a hablar mas de
Los estaciones.  Que no cambia cuando
Me voy porque al regresar lo quiero
Lo mismo de este momento.

Adiós, mis canciones cantan
A estos patrones que no entienden
Nuestras canciones.

Adiós, madre.
Adiós, hermana.
Adiós, amada.
Que nunca olvides de tu hijo,
Tu hermano, tu amado pobre.
Porque siempre te voy a tener
En mi mente,
En mi corazón,
En mi alma.

It feels weird to see this finally end. I guess I always get this feeling when I follow something very closely just to see its ending. It's pretty bittersweet. In a way, I'm glad I could see all its phases, but I also wish it had lasted a little longer. Me and my never-ending nostalgia...

I'm looking forward to reading more of your works!

Once again, thank you very much. I know its sad to see something end that was dear to you but everything must end sometime. I'll be sure to post up more works in Spanish for you to read. And by the way how is your work coming along? I'm sorry I haven't been there in awhile.

Did you ever find out if you could help me get published in Spanish and Portugese over there?

You bet I'm hoping for new works soon!

I don't have much time to write, but I'm trying to write from time to time. I'm currently editing a couple of texts in English and wondering if I should post some of my work in Portuguese and Spanish. I'd appreciate it if you read some of them, especially the stuff in Spanish, so do drop by when you have the time.

I'm still waiting for the guy's reply. It's very likely that he's traveling or something, since he didn't reply to the birthday card I sent to him a few days ago either - and this isn't like him at all, he is very attentious towards everyone who sends him e-mail and always replies. Anyway, I think I will send the e-mail asking about this again as soon as possible and see if he replies this time.

I would love to read some of your work whether its English or Spanish. Let me know when you have some up or I'll just stop by some time and take a look. Always write when you have the chance to. It'll always be good for you.

Sounds good. Let me know when this guy does reply to you whnever that may happen to be.

And don't worry...new work will be coming soon.

Well, a short poem in Spanish is already up and I shall be posting the stuff in English later today or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to know what you think!

Ok, I will.

I certainly hope so!
