The city of uprooting., by Minerva

The city of uprooting.

Too much moving takes its toll on you.

The city of uprooting

Four crystal walls

And no one calls

To see how I’m doing

In this cold, dull city

You better not be witty

And also being wise

Has for you a price

Inhabitants so ruthless

With those rootless

Egoism on every corner

It’s just no nice to be the foreigner

So I pick myself up off the floor

And enter some shelter store

With the useless hope of suiting

The city of uprooting

Dark grey steel skies

And no advice

Only heartlessness shooting

In this harsh, cruel city

Where nothing is pretty

The bright days hid away

But still I have to stay

So I pick myself up off the floor

And enter some shelter store

With the useless hope of suiting

The city of uprooting

Soneto II

Yo, en este laberíntico valle, Perdí mucho más que mi salvación Probando el licor de tu admiración Mendigando un alma por estas calle… A la sombra de tu oscura luz

Mar.

La caricia de tu dulce piel Rozando mi vello erizado Me recuerda a ese amado Tan traicionero y a la vez tan fie… Identidad de mi inhóspito hogar

Soneto III

Ya que no preguntas, déjame contar… Cómo mi irremediable estupidez Me robó mi incipiente madurez Y contra mi bien decidió adorarte La historia por título lleva tu no…

The room.

I saw myself locked in a room Full of empty closets, With an affectedness tycoon Who had me in his pocket Screaming for help was useless

Time.

I’ve always seen myself as a drift… In search of a place to hide From you, my most feared whisper That I had to finally give in to… You always ran faster than I coul…

Thirst.

I retain today Thirsty thoughts That need words To be allayed “Quench my thirst!”

Loneliness waves goodbye.

I’m walking on tiptoes across warm… I’m dancing slow to the sound of m… But you come to take my hand And loneliness waves goodbye A bright new day seems to dawn

Dusty treasures of a nomadic life.

In boxes, in a mess All my memories move with me From city to city I carry stuff I don’t even know I… It’s been landscapes and years

To the lonely fearful.

My shivering reflected on my eyes Gives me away in front of the crow… And your lonely tears won’t disgui… As filled the hollow you shout out… And I, always afraid of the dark,

Soneto I

Sonríeme sin alma ni temor Sonríeme como sólo tú sabes Y de mi cálida llama renaces Para derretirme en tu frío ardor Eres tan hiriente como una espada

An impossible place.

An impossible place Is that without harms That among charms That in your arms An impossible place

The moon.

Higher and higher she flies Hung on such sinister skies And all on her own Not a single word does she say She quietly stares at us play

The unattainable.

You, longing of the living, You’re just like the ocean waves Always seeming to come and touch m… But never reaching me in the end And I keep wondering why

Fear of the unknown.

Closed doors Who knows what’s waiting for me Fragile floors That will crumble if I fall aslee… Painted mirrors

And I looked through.

And I looked through A window of my heart And everything was dark Maybe because there was you And I looked through
