To my brothers at heart!

Fate decided for me to be an only child, but fate also gave me brothers at heart. They are the pillars and support that come from a relationship driven by the only interest of the well being of one another. They are distant and far away and they are always close and a heartbeat away. It is to these remarkable human beings that in more than one way have better my life that I dedicate this blog entry so they know that thus far apart they will also be forever in my heart.

Viagnehy the cousin and brother since my early life, Adolfo true and loyal companion in my Priesthood days with the Gnostic church, Daniel (Leo) always wise and full of vision, Elvis the first friend I made in Brandeis High School, Julio my brother and companion through very hard times, Cep my brother in arms back in the Air Force and for the rest of my life, Octavio my big brother from Nicaragua that is always available to provide laughter and support at a moments notice.

All of you are from different backgrounds, personalities spread apart, different in so many ways yet personalities so look alike. You are all so unique in your own ways and you love me all the same, for we have shared moments of joy and laughter as well of pain and surrow. We are who and what we are not asking for acceptance just for true frienship without regards. We do not judge nor want to be judge, we only hide in a mirror that shows our true side.

We are brothers not by blood, but by the fate of life and yet the link seems to be just as strong. I have to thank you all and pay tribute to your friendship and support. In this time of year I take a moment to say thank you and to only wish to each one of you the best that life has to offer and a life journey full of great moments and memories with the rewards of health, love and wealth.

Thank you for being the remarkable humans you all are and above all thanks for being there for me and with me in times of joy as well as desperate times. It is with great honor I call you my friends, and with a greater honor I claim you as my brothers for all times to come. Godspeed!!!

Mientras duermes, mi dulcinea!

Si soledad quisiera, a la mar o la montaña me iria, pero el corazon me pide compañia. Si la quietud y el silencio buscara, no estaria mordiendome los labios con la desesperacion de endulzarte con mis palabras.

No es soledad ni quietud lo que nesecito, es tan solo el amor de tu hechizo.
Calma ni tranquilidad deseo, quiero solo tu amor alborotado e intenso.
Juega conmigo si quieres, pero no me abandones como cualquier chiquillo a su juguete.

Saca de mi toda pena e inyectame con tu alegria, dame motivos para sequir anhelando no estar solo y quieto ni suspurirando. Haz conmigo lo que te plazca y dejame libre solo para encontrarte de nuevo. He de luchar contra todo obstaculo buscando en la victoria una gota de tu agradecimiento.

Y si una lagrima algunas derramaras, dejame humildemente ser tu pañuelo. Hay heridas que nos desangran y hoy te digo que me desangro por falta de tu presencia. En realidad no quiero hacer ruido y despertarte, pero esta angustia me tiene a gritos.

Escucha mientras duermes mi dulcinea, estoy aqui para adorarte y protejerte.
Que me calle dice la gente! Y yo sin escuchar sigo al grito. Si al despertar sientes que en tu sueño fuiste amada, en realidad no fue sueño mi adorada, fue tan solo la voz de este quijote que por ti se desangra!

Mujer, diosa de mi universo!

Mujer dame tu amor, llename de vida, intoxicame, besame, tocame
al deznudo siente y vive en mi todos los sueños que no lograstes,
pero que ahora se hacen realidad a traves de este amor puro y lleno
de pasion.

Mirame a los ojos y entregame tu alma, vive conmigo, siente
mis latidos que sin pena alguna gritan tu nombre mientras yo te llamo
con mi pensamiento y te hago mia hoy, mañana y siempre.

Mujer, que haces? que no estas conmigo!

An angel in disguise!

Her voice like a melody, her skin like petals from a rose.
I find myself lost in thought. Could it be real, is she
tangible in flesh and bone?

My mind lucid, with the vision of a deity, a supreme being
intoxicating my senses. Is she palpable?, is it possible?,
could I be dreaming or hypnotized by a subtle power undetected?

At last I see, finally it makes sense, at last I understand.
What seems to be a vision is very much real, but a rarity nonetheless.

Once in a lifetime encounter with a true gemstone soul, a being
above all else. I find and discover her truthful nature and conclude
that indeed she is tangible, palpable and real for she is no other
than an angel in disguise!

Goddess in my sight!

Today I ask for light, to have sight beyond sight,
Today I want love to heal a broken heart.
Now I ask you, would you let me look into your eyes.
Now I beg of you, pour yourself into my heart.

Come take my soul, let it not wander in vain, come join me in
this quest, let us be as one. If you ever doubt the love,
let it be through no fault of mine.

Whatever you ask of me, that I ask of God,
how else can I fulfill the needs and wants
of a mighty Goddess hiding in plain sight.
