artificio, fuegos de

luces en el cielo, image by Stunket. Playa del Postiguet, Alacant.

182 Hubo fuentes de mariposas que volaban entre los árboles, columnas de fuegos coloreados que se elevaban transformándose en águilas, o barcos de vela, o una bandada de cisnes voladores. Hubo un trueno y un relámpago rojo, y luego una lluvia amarilla; un bosque de lanzas plateadas se alzó de pronto con alaridos de batalla y cayó en el agua siseando como cien serpientes enardecidas.

J.R.R.Tolkien: de El Señor de los Anillos (I), La Comunidad del Anillo.

181 Orgulloso de ser y de estar. Y del camino recorrido. Felicidades.

sí

180 a cada uno le llega el día / de pronunciar el gran Sí o el gran / No. Quien dispuesto lo lleva / Sí manifiesta, y diciéndolo / progresa en el camino de la estima y la seguridad / El que rehúsa no se arrepiente. Si de nuevo lo / interrogasen / diría no de nuevo. Pero ese / no -legítimo- lo arruina para siempre

Konstantinos Kavafis, Che fece... il gran rifiuto

cenizas

179 cuando la luz se apaga caen / mis brazos como papel / de seda en aguas del océano más negro / el viento las cenizas me trae / del mundo que ayer hice arder / vienen a recordarme el precio

como un perro acosado / un loco fugitivo / que lleva al enemigo en su interior / voy buscando un arroyo que apague / la marea de fuego

pedazos de fotografías / cuyos rostros me hablan aún / palabras lanzadas a un blanco / que corre desnudo

como un perro acosado / un loco fugitivo / que lleva al enemigo en su interior / voy buscando un arroyo que apague / la marea de fuego

pero el ruido del mar me retiene / en un rincón de esta playa

Radio Futura, Noche del Fuego

sueño de verano

178 con esta soledad / alevosa / tranquila / con esta soledad / de sagradas goteras / de lejanos aullidos / de monstruos de silencio / de recuerdos al firme / de luna congelada / de noche para otros / de ojos bien abiertos

con esta soledad / inservible / vacía

se puede algunas veces / entender / el amor

Mario Benedetti, Luna Congelada

(un) deseo...

image by Sam Bassett

177 i wish that life could understand / i wish that life could tell me the secret / oh how to be perfect / and how to be without any mistakes

i wish for better but with better / i'd still want more / more to help me / in the end more to hurt me

every day i can see the pain / people hurting, crying, falling / and by night i can see people fade / fade from themselves and their miserablities

i wish that we could just all accept / and understand who we really are / i know that life is hard on us / but that is a promise will just make you stronger

Evanescence, i wish

173 when will it be time do document, do it now! / this submarine behaviour, do it now! / when time? / to return / do it now / do it now / shake us out of the heavy deep sleep / shake us now / do it now! / do it now! / shake us out of the heavy deep sleep / do it now! / do it now!

high tech fetish from Austria

172 i know there's something in the wake of your smile / i get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah / you've built a love but the love falls apart / your little peace of heaven turns to dark

sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile / the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah / they're swept away and nothing is what it seems / the feeling of belonging to your dreams

and there are voices that want to be heard / so much to mention but you can't find the words / the scent of magic, the beauty that's been / when love was wilder than the wind

listen to your heart when he's calling for you / listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do / i don't know where you're going / and i don't know why / but listen to your heart before / you tell him goodbye

Roxette, listen to your heart

171 ¿hay una discoteca por aquí? / i don't speak the language / i can't understand the word / where angels fear to tread / i've sometimes walked and tried to talk / but how can i be heard / in such a world / when i'm lost?

Pet Shop Boys, from Discoteca

fuego(s)

169 a veces el silencio / convoca algarabías / parodias de coraje / espejismos de duende / tangos a contrapelo / desconsoladas rabias / pregones de la muerte / sed y hambre de vos

pero otras veces es / solamente silencio / soledad como un roble / desierto sin oasis / nave desarbolada / tristeza que gotea / alrededor de escombros / fuego mudo

Mario Benedetti, Fuego Mudo

al borde del sueño

image by Elena Martyniuk

167 he estado al borde de la tuberculosis / al borde de la cárcel / al borde de la amistad / al borde del arte / al borde del suicidio / al borde de la misericordia / al borde de la envidia / al borde de la fama / al borde del amor / al borde de la playa / y, poco a poco, me fue dando sueño / y aquí estoy durmiendo al borde / al borde de despertar.

al borde, Gloria Fuertes.

a thousand beautiful thanks

image by Rasmus Mogensen

165 everyday i write the list / of reasons why i still believe they do exist / (a thousand beautiful things) / and even though it's hard to see / the glass is full and not half empty / (a thousand beautiful things) / so... light me up like the sun / to cool down with your rain / i never want to close my eyes again / never close my eyes / never close my eyes

i thank you for the air to breathe / the heart to beat / the eyes to see again / (a thousand beautiful things) / and all the things that's been and done / the battle's won / the good and bad in everyone / (this is mine to remember) ...

Annie Lennox, from A Thousand Beautiful Things

Superado el millar de visitas. Mil gracias. Mil besos.

see into the trees

Bae Bien-U

162 come closer and see / see into the trees / find the girl / if you can / come closer and see / see into the dark / just follow your eyes / just follow your eyes

i hear her voice / calling my name / the sound is deep / in the dark / i hear her voice / and start to run / into the trees / into the trees / into the trees...

suddenly i stop / but i know it's too late / i'm lost in a forest / all alone / the girl was never there / it's always the same / i'm running towards nothing / again and again and again and again...

suddenly, a dream

coloured dreams, image by Ser@. Manchester, UK

159 when all the world is a hopeless jumble / and the raindrops tumble all around / heaven opens a magic lane

when all the clouds darken up the skyway / there's a rainbow highway to be found / leading from your windowpane

to a place behind the sun / just a step beyond the rain / somewhere, over the rainbow / way up high / there's a land that i heared of / once in a lullaby / somewhere, over the rainbow / skies are blue / and the dreams that you dare to dream / really do come true

some day i'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me / where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops / that's where you'll find me

somewhere, over the rainbow / blue birds fly / birds fly over the rainbow / why, then oh, why can't i? / if happy little bluebirds fly / beyond the rainbow / why, oh, why can't i?

Over the Rainbow, Ella Fitzgerald
