thousands of humans
around the world
stop for a while
and with their hands
shift the time
thousands of ants
over earth and stone
would never stop
and without a clock
they build a castle
in a tímeless rustle

Esquiva - Elusive for OSI
equals they strive
try to balance it
make it the same
put it in order
but it is elusive
walks out lenient
ignoring control
it escapes the inspection
creating the exception
“Exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis”
los iguales se esfuerzan
tratan de nivelarla
volverla parecida
la ubican en la fila
pero ella es esquiva
permanece indulgente
ignorando el control
se aleja de la inspección
creando la excepción

"Shame" for Sunday Scribblings
Shame
when I was a child
I used to grieve
a lot about sins
it was such a shame
talking to the priest
standing on my knees
telling in regret
what others had set
today I have learnt
that I can be ashamed
only if I allow others
to make me feel that way
and not listen to my heart
that has the truth inside

"Conquista" "Conquer" for OSI
Conquista - Conquer
no ignoro la petición
que con algunas palabras
conquista mi corazón
some words conquer my heart
how could I deny
your wish for me to apply?

"Junk" for Sunday Scribblings
Diógenes
Diogenes in old times
like a beggar spent his life
living proudly like a dog
rejecting material comfort
he could instictively know
what was friend or who was foe
why your name has been applied
to a behavioural disorder
characterised by self neglect and hoarding?
I want to replevy you and assure
that your intention was pure

Talisman
All hangings descent
Bare wall
Shows a talisman
I think all the things we keep have in some degree a "talisman" connotation. Sometimes the talisman does not belong to our possessions but is born from the hazard.

Leonard Norman Cohen was born in Montreal in 1934 on September 21. He is a poet and song writer.
For four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on.
He has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. But those questions, and the journey he has traveled in seeking to address them, are the ever-shifting substance of his work, as well as the reasons why his songs never lose their overwhelming emotional force.
The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.
In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.
(from Love itself)
Please feel free to post your own My Life According to (fill in your favorite songwriter) and please let us know where we can find your impressions.
Here are the guidelines:
