it is a dance to be danced...
rooo:
You will find meaning in life only if you create it. It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search a little bit and find it. It is not there like a rock that you will find. It is a poetry to be composed, it is a song to be sung, it is a dance to be danced.

Soif d'un baiser (Thirst for a kiss)
Comme une ville qui s’allume Et que le vent vient embraser, Tout mon coeur brûle et se consume, J’ai soif, oh ! j’ai soif d’un baiser.

No estarás en mis sueños, en el destino original de mis palabras, ni en una cifra telefónica estarás o en el color de un par de guantes o...

Some day, some day
Some day, some day O troubled breast, Shalt thou find rest. If Love in thee To grief give birth, Six feet of earth Can more than he; There calm and free And unoppressed Shalt thou find rest. The unattained In life at last, When life is passed Shall all be gained; And no more pained, No more distressed, Shalt thou find rest.
by Cristóbal de Castillejo translated by H.W. Longfellow

Your Name
The letters on your name
were never able to give you meaning,
for when the words describe you
they only adorn
as they lose trying to imitate you.
