midnight improvisation

"forget me" waltz

poem from "cien sonetos de amor" by pablo neruda.

translated into english by elyse hart: 

Before loving you, love, nothing was mine:
I dithered through streets and things:
nothing mattered nor had a name:
the world consisted of expectant air.
I knew salons of ash,
tunnels inhabited by the moon,
cruel hangars that gave their leave,
insisting questions in the sand.
Everything was empty, dead and mute,
fallen, abandoned and decayed,
everything was inalienably alien
everything belonged to others and to no one,
until your beauty and your poverty
filled the autumn with gifts.

neruda soneto xxv

poem from "cien sonetos de amor" by pablo neruda.

translated into english by elyse hart:

you will know i don't love you & i love you
since these are the two forms of being,
the word is a wing of silence,
fire is half cold.

i love you so i can begin to love you,
so i can restart the infinite
and so to never stop loving you: 
therefore, i don't love you yet.

i love you and i don't love you as if i had
in my hands the keys of bliss
and an uncertain ill-fated destiny.

my love, you have two lives for loving you.
therefore, i love you when i don't,
and i love you when i do.

neruda soneto xliv

My heart lies to me
My heart lies to me
There's no such thing as love
There's no such thing as love
As I lay woefully on a steady rock to nowhere
Sun-soaked and without a horse
without a sense of being 
Oh, how I tire
My heart lies to me

My heart won't be free
My heart won't be free 
It's caught up in a wire
It's fallen into the fire
When I spoke to the god on the rock that was a little lichen
Faced me through the seasons
Cherished for no reason 
Oh, how I tire
My heart lies to me 

My heart is steady
My heart is steady
It's made of soot and rubber
It bounces ever higher
In the end, regretting everything I left unsaid
Languid and languorous 
Undoing all deceiving
Oh, how I tire
My heart lies to me

My Heart Lies To Me

Talk About You - ft. Dee Wolf

i think there's someone on the moon
i can hear music pouring down from up there
someone is playing the piano, sweetly
and occasionally singing

i want to meet the man who plays piano
on the moon
up there so high
i'd row my boat out on the sea

building a ladder so tall
that i'd reach him
hoping he'll notice
and come down a moment
to kiss me

every now and again
i'm fond of a cosmic tune
resolving to tonic on the moon

when i reach for a cloud
it seems so far away
if i ever reach the moon
can i stay?

it must be lovely up there
looking down at this blue marble
i'll never know how it glows, sweetly
but i can imagine....
