You In Me

  At night, you come into my dreams, inviting me to share a meal with you. This delights me, yet I watch you—quiet and powerless—as you hurl the stones of your inner conflicts with immense vehemence… By day, even when I feel strong, I carry your unease within me: that cough betraying your sadness and your struggle to communicate… and sometimes, that stomachache—like a guilty past you cannot digest, cannot forgive yourself for… I long to share with you, this joy and childlike carefree spirit that now forms the skeleton of my being… The happiness of plunging my hands into the garden soil, giving and nurturing life. The pleasure of cooking and savoring what I've grown. These conversations filled with smiles and laughter among friends. These words, shapes, and colors I bring to life day by day—blazing suns that light up my world… I wish to brighten your night. Forgive yourself, love yourself… and let us meet again!...

I Remember - 4

I remember you didn't like it when I rolled my shirt sleeves too high; you had intervened, and the touch of your fingers on my skin was electric…


*


I remember we talked about vacations; you were going to Spain, and I told you that, instead of going to Ireland as planned, I might join you with my friends. As a joke, we arranged to meet on July 14 at noon, in front of Madrid City Hall; we said we would get married there…


*


I remember that, under the pretext of work to be completed, I had not attended your farewell party... Your imminent departure and the fact that I had told you nothing about my feelings generated a heavy and dull anger in me…


*


I remember the sudden and abysmal hole left by your departure, a life now without colors or flavors…


*


I remember the beard I no longer shaved... and the jogging pants I wore to work…


*


I remember all those blues songs I listened to – like 'Old Love' by Eric Clapton…


*


I remember the Stratocaster I bought, and the minor pentatonic solos that comforted me...
