Alcampeando por el desierto Sobre un caballo sin nombre Negro. Indio. Apache Donde esta tu apachita? La dejo Soñando en falsas promesas. Un palomito vuela al cielo, Israel Alma del hijo no nacido, Ninguna esperanza de la tierra prometida. En el desierto hay un arbol Con una sola manzana El lo desea.

Blue
Today I’m feeling blue, Blue like the endless sea And it’s more than just a hue It’s a wave of salty tears Threatening to burst free; It’s the Octopus Who wrapped his tentacles around my heart … and squeezed. It’s the forest of kelp I’m lost within Wrapped tight round my ankles No one to ask for help. Trapped in seaweed manacles, Drowning in blue. I love the ...
Dream Me
There are two of me in this life. I'm one from day to night, And then another from dark to light. We have different whims: Love different people Ache for different things. Sometimes, I wish for the other me to disappear, But mostly I'm happy for her to stay near.
Etch-a-Sketch
I drew a picture. It was pretty; it made me smile. But it could never happen, So I shook it To turn back time. But it was stuck. Now that picture of you and me Will stay Forever on my mind.
Phantom Horse
Some people have a phantom limb. I feel the curve of the saddle between my thighs, The leather squeaks. I feel the stirrups under the balls of my feet, Gently squeeze his sides. I feel him moving beneath me, Each movement makes me ache inside. Some people have a phantom limb. I have a phantom horse.
Kê Gà: a Beacon of Shining Light in the Dark
'They went to sea in a sieve they did, in a sieve they went to sea.' On a little island off the coast near Phan Thiet, an ancient French lighthouse rises elegantly above the bushes of yellow & white magnolia flowers and green pools of water. My visit to the Kê Gà lighthouse twinkled a little more ...
The Creature with Eyes of Blue
Beyond the green, green grass and hills, Beyond the great white walls of chalk, There dwells a lonesome creature who Has searing eyes of pale, pale blue. Beware! The creature with eyes of icy air. Take heed! Of the creature marred with hopeless need. The creature with pale, pale blue eyes Its feet on the ground, its head in the skies. Slowly it wanders, runs and ...
Salty Eyes & Sandy Hair
While I was awake I was asleep. Then I saw you, The sweetest love in a dream. Blue-green water slowly turned to ice, I closed my eyes. Frozen cold warmed up with spice. Salty eyes and sandy hair, Secret stories whispered here and there. And I'm mesmerised. So mesmerised.
Artichoke
In a dark and sweaty room Our man succumbed to a woman's stare. And the smell of her perfume. Their zodiac signs were far too alike Yet he couldn't resist A tiny kiss Stolen In the fading light Then from the corner of his eye He saw his wife cycling around On a big red bike He ran after her - straight out the room Dee - ...
Kalaallit Nunaat
Days roll and break: A surge of dreariness That leaves no wake But today I’ve crashed headlong Into an island in the sea. I’ve fallen, mesmerised Into my computer screen. To a magical white place I’ve been spirited away Where a fingerless sea goddess Once ruled the waves I’m flying across the ice With a pack of wild beasts. Hungry yellow eyes; Guttural howls and haunting cries A chorus of ...
