ArrancaZacate

I won't give up. I won't stop. I won't restraint. I'm sorry for the girl I refuse to respect. I don't want to get over it, I don't want to move on. Until you say clear and loud "I don't love you anymore" 

And even then I won't loose faith. I'll prove you wrong, I'll play the deaf. If hope is all I have, I'm sure I'll find a way; to be "the one" again and make it all ok. For it is true that I am the one to blame. I broke your soul. I saw your pain. I found no way to wash my words away. I was too young. I was too old. I was the monster.

Am I the monster still? Have you cursed me for eternity or does your heart keeps a dusty corner for me?

All I want is to go back, to enjoy what we had, to smile without doubt, to give you all I kept from your side. But time never grants anyone another chance. All that is left is a monster to your eyes, a hummingbird who loved too late the flower given without thorns to match. 

Now I wait for the future, for a time machine to take me back and prevent me from being the biggest fool from all times.

Recopilación de #twtory vol.1

Cada que puedo trato de escribir en twitter una historia en menos de 133 caracteres. Aquí algunas que me gustan. Ojalá adopten la propuesta  C=


#twtory Cuando el Sr. Gutiérrez sorprendió a una tuerca bailando un suave vals con el desarmador comprendió que no encontraría su tornillo.


#twtory Entonces se levantó. Cerró su cortina. Volé hasta un huequito descortinado para segur leyendo el cuento que nacía. "La polilla maravilla".


#twtory "En las tinieblas la imaginación trabaja más activamente que en plena luz." Cuando el dinosaurio despertó; Kant aún estaba ahí.  


#twtory Perdió el control.Uno a uno, devoró los escalones de plátano.Así,los monos se quedaron en los árboles y los psiquiátras en la tierra.


#twtory May your storms come, try to crush me, for my dreams will keep me safe.


#twtory No logró escucharla. Tan sólo le llegó la melodía de sus palabras, azucaradas con trocitos de luna y una pizca de ilusión.  


#twtory Tocó la campana. Nadie salió. Nadie jamás saldría ya. Tocó la campana. Nada más le quedaba; enterrarse en redobles de campana.


#twtory La mancha dejada por el jugo de David en su camisa se sentía expuesta.La gente la miraba sin escrúpulos y las chicas reían al verla.


#twtory Head:check, Body:check, Soul:check, Heart: heart? Damn where did I put that thing? OMFG!!! Please, please don´t smash it, STOP !!!

HB

Te miré. Atrapome tu risa. Aquella estrella fugaz que aparece y nunca avisa. Tu piel de bronce que a mi roce se vestía toda de caricia. Ese par de puños suaves que me cruzan sin malicia. La promesa de tus notas invitándome a cantar, la locura que acompasa tu risible caminar.

Contigo hablé. La culpa fue toda mía. Curioso colibrí que presto va, sin detenerse a pensar, que quizá nunca más se ha de volver a posar. Culpo a mi reflejo, repetido y más mío en tus sinfondo pupilas. Culpo también a la niña, que aún intacta aquí vivía. Sorpresa y encanto eran todo mi día. Del asombro a la paz; mi centro en tí yacía.

Te seguí. Sigilosa entré en la gruta de tus sombras fracturadas. Tus mentiras y sus causas; las frágiles derrotas que pretencioso ignorabas,  el grito enterrado, el fleco mal acomodado, la particular orquesta de fallas que latías. Toda tu imperfección: elegante embustero escondido en los misterios que nadie habrá de conocer.

Nos dejé. Y es que siempre quise descubrir lo que allí no había. Una estatua de bronce, un lince de infantil lozanía. Un rico vagabundo que nada más quería. ¿Cómo mirarte y no gritar lo que tu ya sabías? ¿Cómo cantar tu canción sin sus notas fallidas? ¡Debiste aceptar que Zeus jamás serías! No en vano los dioses habitan la lejanía. Para finjirte perfecto basta distanciarte, anularte. Dejar de perseguir al día.

Ya ves, no en vano comprendí tus mentiras, celebré tus derrotas y suavizé tus heridas. Tan sublime halcón puede herir a la más viva. Me desgarra pensar que es a tí a quien terminas. Vete halcón, busca una cima, donde no temas gritar, ni desplegar tus heridas. Brilla. Yo sabré que en vano no te di mi vida.

Entre tus manos

Toma. 


      Con cuidado. 


Es tan alegre su ligero y decidido palpitar. Mira como se acelera cuando entre tus manos está. Inquieto e impaciente quiere salir a bailar. 

¡No lo sueltes!
Su elegante ritmo caribeño sin tu calor no querrá jugar. 

     Allá va, 
                     alumbrando a los livianos, 
                                          cegando a los villanos, 
                                                 componiendo canciones que alguien más ha de cantar. 

Como brilla, como luce, 
que pequeño es en verdad

                        Tan humilde y mesurado nadie habría de imaginar, 
                                                                              que tus manos convierten mi corazón
                                          - titán.


Toma. 


Siente un puñado de mis sueños y rencores al azar. 

Escucha tus nombres suspirar. 


Muele con tus yemas mi tristeza,
              cuela entre tus dedos todo rastro 
                                              de resignación y desgano.                             
                                                                                          
                                                                       Acaricia la esperanza;          
juega con mis furtivos intentos desvalidos.   

Agrega vida,
              una pizca de ti mismo,
                      una sola lágrima que me recuerde por que sigo;
y al final,
 (cuando menos lo espere)

deja todo correr entre tus manos,
de regreso a la nada, 
dejándome con nada,
quedándote con todo,
 que para entonces es tan poco,
que lo confundes con lodo.

Marea

Ya no tengo nada que contar.
Viejo conocido es el indómito mar.
El conejo tantas veces ha perdido
y el tonto huevo yace roto en el olvido.

Nada propio me queda que contar.
Solo me soy un eco ... vacío
de un primer beso repetido
y un final tantas veces predecido.

Nada queda ya por descubrir.
Nunca nadie estuvo tan informado;
y a la vez; tan obstinadamente olvidado
de aquello que siempre supo dejar callado.

Ya no tengo nada que contar.
Sobre de mí la invención resurgirá.
Recordar es renacer; Renacer el vasto mar:
Lengua, manos, ¡Griten ya!. Tienen algo que contar.

Amélie for me


“Les temps son durs pour les rêveurs.”  Le Fabuleux destin de Amélie Poulain can be presented as a movie for dreamers. For me, Amélie is a movie worth watching over and over. With unique perspective, meaningful colors and active music, it becomes an instant classic. In fact, Amelíe is a great movie.
First, we have its perspective. Amélie is told in a childlike way. Jeunet centers our attention in childish details. Amélie likes to throw stones into the river; an old man likes to cut circles to his plants. Even more, the association of a certain detail to each character becomes its picture for us. Nino becomes the guy with the photo album, The Glass Man becomes the man with the painting, just as a kid would associate. And how does a kid visually look at the world? With vivid full colors. The movie colors are very saturated, just as in the child world. Amélie robes are bright red or green. There are no midtones in the scene.
As a matter of fact, colors are meaningful in Amélie. Each color has strong, specific meaning. Blue for example, represents happiness through love. When Nino goes to the park looking for Amélie, he is carrying a big blue empty bag, waiting to be filled. Then Amélie invites Nino to follow the blue arrows, the happy direction towards love. Colors create atmosphere. Both in the grumpy man home and in the one of Amélie’s father, there is absence of color. Everything is sepia. Those man inner children are gone. In contrast, Amélie apartment is almost completely red. It talks about warm, affectionate beings in there. Colors represent a lot about our protagonist. Amélie will usually be portrayed in green for her usual and familiar moments and in red for the ones when she displays her inner pleasures and dreams.
Finally, the music in Amélie is an active participant. The whole mood of each scene is sustained on its music. Without the music we wouldn’t felt so sad about Amélie just before Nino enters her apartment. The rollercoaster the blind man went through when Amélie took him to the metro. At the end of that sequence, the man looks to the sky as an unreal divine tune is displayed. The exaggerated accents measure the importance of actions. The sound little Amélie hears while playing with her ears, the deep crack of the mischievous key, the pumping of Amélie’s heart the first time she sees Nino.
Amélie is a childish told story, full of amazing colors and vivid music. It gets to you and reminds you another way you used to know of looking life. This movie leaves you with a sweet scent and an innocent sight.

One of my moments.

Everyone has a friend,
But none like mine.
He’s special.

I was in deep trouble. Messing every relationship I was involved at the time I felt like a dizzying toy. No focus, no direction and no way to stop. In an unexpected instant of brightness I realized I had to call him. What would I tell him? After all, we had been apart for a year now, just chatting occasionally and talking about each other colleges.


The phone began ringing. He has always taken sometime before getting the call. I could still cancel it. Hello? Hey! Are you gonna be at your home in the afternoon?  Sure, why? I was wondering if I could drop by. (I had never gone to his home before.) Fine, I’ll pick you up at five at Rosario, ok?


That afternoon, I shut down my cell phone, sat on a couch, spent some of the most relaxing and smoothing hours of my life and arranged a little trip for another day, which date I can’t remember but we will call: “The shut up day”.


Vacations, one car with gas, plenty of stories, dreams and tribulations to share; combined with our characteristic way of walking while talking took “The shut up day” to a national park. I had been there before plenty of times and I really wanted to show him the place. Owned! He had been doing his Social Service at the ecology station of the place the whole semester. Even though, he had never got out of the office before and claimed to be unaware of what was out there.


After a little encouragement, I began to talk. There’s something you should be aware about me and talking. When I start, it’s going to take a while before I end. It usually takes something out of my control for me to stop talking. Like it’s time to go to class, the bus arrives to my stop or someone else drops into the chat, meaning to stay.


Being surrounded by trees, time and a patient buddy doesn’t provide any of the inconveniences listed before. I talked about me, my interests, my problems, my experiences, and with him inviting me to go on, coaching my fears and laughing at my jokes we lost around three hours. I felt like a feather, calm and happy.


Hunger caught up with us. A pause was made to order some tlacoyos to a nice lady. The place was desert. Enough. We’ve been talking about me. How are you?


-         - My dad is not living with us. I feel so worried about my mom…


 I should have shut up hours ago.
