Y cuando me vio y se acercó,
sentí el calor de su piel,
el perfume de sus palabras,
la densidad en sus caricias,
el sonido de su belleza,
lo brillante de su mirada.
Suave como un canto
de media tarde, por la
brisa entre agua salada
crecientes olas sabor naranja
Un poco verde para mi gusto
me atrean los enigmas fuertes
como robles o tan toxicos
como las acacias africanas.

When I am depressed, I am not functional.
I collapse and am unable to leave the fetal position
I can’t cross-eye contact with people
After several afternoons on the side,
I put my bare feet on the ground
and I remember that I have a have some talent for arts
I turn it on the computer
I’m still living!
Blessed the sky, the ocean, and the ground.
There is nothing like being naked in my room
What will my neighbors think?
I do not care.
Don’t care it all
And now that?
My brain is parched too many pointless tasks.
I review the sketches I make before I sleep.
I like this one, but it’s complex, not today.
Something simpler.
There is nothing simple here.
Something repeated, it doesn’t mean anything.
I don’t have to innovate today.
I work on whatever and open some tools.
You see? Better.
If doing art had a smell, it would smell like the house I grew up in.
How nice it is to see my colleagues enjoying their craft.
It is different each time, but I recognize it.
I know my soul has an odor, but I can’t smell it.
A shame
light.
How many defects.
But I can remove them.
One by one, by hand, there is no rush.
It is becoming more and more pleasant to feel lighter
I no longer remember which parts were habit
and which parts I made up.
But the result is me.
It is more mine than my body.
Almost done.
I force the symmetry and then break it a little bit.
Like when I leave all my things perfectly lined up on the table,
then take one out.
It looks off, just for fun.
I have created something.
It does not matter if it is repeated.
It does not matter if looks pretty.
I’m already less sad.
Or will it affect individualism?
Intentions are defined but uncertain
challenges, frustrations, and failures
Feeling the drive to committee on a purpose
none failures will stop me or defeat me
Many obstacles I had overcome
but the help me echoes
are crystal clear on gods eyes
to be here nowadays is a bless
Coming from a place of tic tac toe
rather than scarcity or guild
always learning by fact and experience
Playing the longer game for quite a bit
A bigger framework of possibilities
Freedom to fulfill expectations
embracing overwhelm and stuck feelings
starring on personal values and desires
I’m not willing to compare my path
comparing would stop my track
something inside drives me mad
despite setbacks and roadblocks times
Don’t lie to yourself anymore
to feel like the smartest on the room
that’s just a trick of ego talk
feel your skin and enjoy the growth.
Clear, clever, specific, assertive,
stubborn, wild, chaotic, shy
time will pass except the people
the signs and life would turn into ether
