Maybe it's about time

The other night
Walking down the street
I saw a mice drinking water
on a snake's cage.
It got me thinking about life, time and destiny
It got me thinking about how few we know
and how much we worry.

Maybe it's about time
to take things easier...
sing more,
laugh more
and be less serious...
after all none of us
will escape from this life
alive.

Facing the unknown

How many times
facing your luck
you made wishes
you made plans
you built hope.

In front of the unknown
the simple question of what is going to happen
Tomorrow
and the following day.

Too many doubts
too many dreams to achieve
and very few time.

So start now
Walk
with eyes closed
Face the morning to come
and smile
don't forget
to smile.

Another year about to come...

One last wish
before I scream goodbye to my 27.
Looking backwards and smiling
Looking forward with confidence (and more respect than before)
Understanding that things
not always come out as we thought they would...
and that's good
damn good.

My advice...
start practicing your surprised face.
You will need it.

Long live the King

When everything is shadows
and nothing but faith
can make us move on.
When the battle is imminent
As the sun comes down
and the stars witness our hopes
or fears, or tears.

With the only hope of being able.
To still believe
only second before
our eyes get closed
forever.

Will offer you all and something more

I barely remember
when was the last time
that hope won over logic.
Those days when I used to believe
that E V E R Y T H I N G
was possible.

Back then when we were younger
less serious
less responsible
and less successful...
but with more passion
and careless
about what we were supposed to be.

The roads of music

It's only when the music is loud
that I listen to it
the uncivilized myself
that paints the landscape
with colors and joy
at the same time.

Like living in an eternal dream
Like if I had never left home
still there
in my bedroom
waiting for my parents
kiss of good night.

Returning after never leaving

What's new
on the news today
with the same old dust
covering it all
same old hope
to see things
get better
same old dream
to be that person
you always wanted to be
and tomorrow morning
maybe
might wake up.

Everybody have a different a way

Got love?
If it's the real kind
no matter what.
I bet it feels just fine.
(And hopefully smells good as well)
This is one of those days
That I feel happy
not be a Lemour

The persue of happiness

After all
that is what we are all looking for
sometimes with desperate passion
sometimes in shadows of silence...
the one thing
that makes us feel alive
for real..
But the question is:
How far are we willing to go,
to make it happen?

Who should take the lead?

Still the same questions in my head
thinking about where all this madness
is taking us.

Thinking about our roles and responsibilities.
We were put in this world
to make the best out of it
to care about it.

I think is fair for someone else
to lead the way
because sadly,
we have lost our north.

The place that you can call home

It's up to you after all
to live your life here
or somewhere else.
To feel pain or runaway.

I know is hard.
At least I for me it is
Still trying, more than what I would like to..
not to escape from (this?) reality.

The voices in your head will not shut up

Some nights
they come back to visit
Memories from a distant life
that maybe
I've never dared to live.

Something out of my conscious and logic.
Something that can really challenge
every single statement and value that I have
they just come at night
only at nights
when we remember
our present
and the fact the life is too short
to runaway from our dreams.

Ignorance is Bless

Thinking nonsense
mind gibberish that makes you fly away
from everything you know
while your steps dance a silent song,
in a quiet morning.

Then you see something,
and the spell goes away.
Like the end of childhood,
or maybe not.

You know what really matters

Only a few things are important
many less than what you think
so make the try
make your list,
start naming 100 "important things"
and cut the list into half each day...
let's talk
by the end of this week.

I wish you have a Wonderful Day

One smile
can make a big difference
as well as cheering words
and good vibes.
The change you make in this world
is also related with all these things
so don't forget
to wish the best,
always
no matter what.

Know Hope Poster

"We've got our
deepest hopes
tattooed on our
eyelids, so when we
sleep we speak
fireworks."

(Know Hope)

PS: If one day you have nothing interesting to say, let other do it!

The Velvet rope of life

After all
we will all get there.
Eventually it should be Ok,
if we are sure that we are doing the best
out of each day...

Protect yourself before is too late

The toxic war is out there
waiting for bacteria to do it's job
The flu has taken over people
running and hiding from others
trying to save their lonely existences.

I am here waiting
no mask on.
I don't feel like
running away this time.

The new beginning

The Raise of a new civilization
is imminent
almost happening right now...
a more sensitive specie
that has learn to be like us
but better.
With less hate, destruction and discrimination.
With real passion.
A more advanced version
of what we could have been.

Wait in line

Sometimes
while waiting in a long line
I think about my surroundings
trying to understand what made
each of the standing souls
to be in the place where they are..
in a specific moment
when their existence almost merges
with mine.

Destiny?
Decisions?
Luck?

Don't ask permission to raise your Voice

So much silence in this world
with so much going on around us.
And so few words
coming out
from our mouths.

The light you give will enlight the path

There is still
a long way to go
Trust me.
You will be scared like you have never been
You will also laugh so hard that
it's going to be hard to understand...
that living
is a gift
full of unexpected
surprises.

Trust me that we are together in this one

It's always easier together
to beat sadness
to heal pain
and to become stronger.

Specially at nights
when fear comes to visit...
because if only one of us
can keep his eyes open
will be enough to lead the two
to the right direction.

The mirror of the past

Uncountable nights
and days
selling my time with no shame
thinking that the best will come
out of the blood
out of the sweat
in a broken night.

Those days are far away now
like clouds
in a distant dream...
and then I smile.

What you give is what you are

When was the last time
that you look into your palms
to see what is that
that you are offering
when you extend your arms.

Come and join the Joy Ride

After all
life will end,
the fierce drops from the sun
will burn it all
and if not the
electric bills, your girlfriend or some gray person
will let you down so hard
that after all nothing will matter.
So then..
why not enjoy this ride, while it last.
No matter what.

It takes two to Tango

More than one war
silence and noises
Night and Day
rain drops and nightmares
sunshine and dreams.
Everything needs it's opposite
Like I need the sadness during this night
to wake up smiling
when I see that you are still here.

Looking through the eyes of others

At the end
trust is everything
And if you don't have it
you won't escape from this reality alive.

En boca cerrada no entran moscas

Watch out,
when you are speaking out loud
because what comes out from your mouth
might be even more important
than who you really are,
so next time
before making any sound
just remember that what you say
once is in the air
takes you with him.

Back to those days of honesty

Whenever doubts come around
and nothing but questions emerge from the silence
I try to get back
to those days when I was a kid
free of responsibility toward others
full of commitment to myself
and I think
what would I've done.
To see
what I really want.

War is what makes you a fighter

Lately I've been thinking
about the things that make us
what we are.
the inside...
deep down there
where there is only silence
or war
or pain
or happiness.

Like the old times, but not the good ones

I know
It's being a while since my last time in here
It's just
that things were not right around me
like and old song
that brings some memories
that you would better forget.

How are you plannng to get there?

It's up to you
over what you build your story
It's up to you
the price you'll pay to be up there.
In the meanwhile
breath deeply
And think
how the whole picture
should look.

Would give it all...

If I could
I would give you all my luck
for you to keep,
always forever
If I could
I would do it.
But I can't
that's why I will always be there
by your side.

Kids playing to be adults

It's hard
to think about it.
The fact that we
are silent like the roses
when this world is breaking apart.
I am responsible
as well as you.
And that makes me feel bad.
very bad.
Kids are meant to be kids
and we adults
must assume that responsibility.

The untold has it's own voice

Where is the limit
Between innocence and maturity?
between what is told,
and what is kept in secret.
Like a word in the tip of my tongue
right before jumping
but no.
Desire maybe.
Yes.
Only desire

When it rains, it rains in boths sides

One of them is you
One of them is me
face to face
living in the same place.
How I wish I could say also
in peace.
But somehow
things aren't right.
But still I have hope
for your future children
and for mine.

The broken smile

Lately
I've been thinking about you.
About the time
when distance wasn't there
And it makes me smile.

Modern Moses at full volume

Put it out loud
These are the ten new commandments
(I advise to read them while listening to your favorite song)

1. Never is too late
2. Time is short
3. Smile more
4. Eat more Ice cream (diets are for the people that give up easily)
   
5. Walk foot naked as much as possible
6. Call your mom & dad more often
7. Say more "I love you"
8. Try to bring more light to this world
9. 
   
10. 
    

PS: There are some empty lines waiting for you.

Maybe they just wanted to runnaway

How many times
I've kept silent
Did things
I didn't want to
instead of running away.

How many times
Should I have left earlier
smile less,
or scream out loud.

Never is too late,
but some times the cost is too high.

The only real truth

With time
everything changes.
Even the things that we thought
that will stay there no matter what.
Before I used to think that "respect"
was something that we had to earn from others
as an award.
Now I understand that respect is a present
that you must give to yourself
everyday.
how?
by being truth to yourself.

Bar Wisdom

Memories from a good friend
remind me one thing he used to say
about love.
1+1 is not 2 is 3.
Each individual, and the new part
the couple.

The world in your hands

When I saw this
in one second I wen back,
almost 15 years now
thinking about me
and the world in front of me.
How I felt that everything would be easier
and different.
No regrets inside.
Neither pain,
just a strange feeling
and now
the sun burning my face.
A new wake up call
from the new morning beneath my steps.

Are you doing what you are supposed to?

So many people out there
without hope
without dreams,
walking through life
without meaning..

while on the other side
lot's of people
filled with happiness and joy
luck and love...
and the chance
to give some light
to all the ones
that live
in total darkness.

Millions of eyes looking at the same direction

Still thinking about the future
in a broken world
with some new hopes,
as well as new disappointments.
If yesterday you celebrated
it's already time
to make the right things.
I am still waiting to see what you've got.
until then
you are nothing more
than another politician.

Can time change what we see?

It's interesting to see
how we change with time
and what used to be warm and beautiful
some times can turn into something
distant and cold,
maybe so distant
that can be frightening.

Who is in charge in here?

There is always a game going on
some things deciding the lines of others
pulling some strings
rehearsing the script
that someone else has written.
And in between
we live,
sometimes to answer the only question that really matters
who is directing
and who is only here
to perform someones else
story.

What we could do before the end.

I know that the world is falling apart
I know that we did our best to screw it up
Now the chemical gasses will kill
what the sun couldn't burn,
and you and me still here waiting.
There is only one thing I wish I could do,
before it all ends,
to leave something good
before my last breath.

Has he really left the building?

Sometimes they come back
amazing people I've met all over,
some of them only for a couple of minutes.
Some of them only said a couple of words
and that was enough
to stay with me
in memories that every once and then come back
to visit me.
Today I've been thinking about those people that left a mark
and then left, or maybe not.
