Haiku Attempt

Orange sun shining through clouds,
the grey sea in peace.
Sunrise you just made me smile.

This morning

Feeling oh so dangerous
Speeding like My Favourite Game's notes
Floating down the road.
 

Silver Strand

Kissing sun and silver sand between my toes.

Swim in the icy sea, salty skin under a blue sky.

Sparkles in the shoreline.

Estación de Canfranc / Canfranc Station

Te creí un lugar secreto donde jugar,
sueños de atardecer en andenes vacios,
cristal roto de una puerta verde al pasado.

Tu historia ha contado otras, 
tus muros han visto cientos de vidas pasar.

Majestuosa, donde se inventó el significado de tal palabra
abandonada que no olvidada.

Mis pasos no te devuelven la vida
mas tus fantasmas no me asustan.

Tu grandiosidad se perdió 
entre la dejadez y la nada.


......................................................


I thought you were a secret place to play,
dreams at sunset in the empty platforms,
broken glass of a green door to the past.

Your story has told so many others,
your walls have seen hundreds of lives passing by.

Stately, where the meaning of that word was invented
abandoned but not forgotten.

My steps don't bring you back to life
but your ghosts don't spook me.

Your magnificence was lost
between the negligence and the vacuum.

Giving up dreams

When you forgot how you got here,
and your shadow does not recognise you.

When you doubt if you ever chose your path
and the music can not comfort you.

When you waste your chances 
without seeing them pass by,
or you wonder if you were too selfish,
or too generous?

When the cage has you trapped and not safe,
the space suffocates you,
and an old song reminds you who you were.

On The Way Home

The train tracks wrap
the green hills.
The ruffled waves
hit Killiney Beach.
The yellow gorse 
spreads here and there.
Bluebells grow in the shade
of woods I know.

Daydream

I need to disappear
hide in a warm dark place.
Avoid the noise that surrounds me,
push my thoughts aside.
Cover my eyes and collapse,
curl up and listen to my heartbeat.

The time will pass,
the light will go
for me to find the way out.
____________________________

My thoughts are back
this time in order, with sense;
I take control of my body
and fall off my daydream.

Nocturno / Nocturne

El manto frío y blanco
me convierte en espía de la luna.

Blanca luz que esconde el infinito.

____________________


The white and freezing cloak
turns me into a spy of the moon.

White light that hides the infinity.

NY

Leaving the lead sky behind
on a delayed flight
to the frontier of my dreams.
 
Grey and other urban shades
sketch the landscape,
The city endlessly pictured
where I become tiny.

Tarmac grid you hide known places
around every corner.
Fast yellow cabs dodge 
the steam rising to the air.
 
Imaginary stories will happen
in your streets once I'm gone.

So familiar I wish to discover all of you
so vibrant I want to sit in your Park.
 
I steal some moments
wandering around
in common places for others.

Departure

Dear Winter,
we wait for your departure.
Clear skies of shining stars
that frost our dreamtime,
we wait for your departure.
Icy wind against my cheeks,
my hands and feet,
they beg for you to be gone.
There was a woman once
stuck to a blanket...
We wait for your departure.

Poker

Who is playing poker with my fate?

Who gave cards in this endless round?

I float in nothing,

feeling the vertigo of the fall.

Today

Today I don’t love you anymore.

I pay indifference with silence,

your silence I pay with distance.

You have broken something

that it’s gone and can’t ever return.
