The sea!
What does the sea mean
without an old man?
And the waves,
The rambunctious waves,
What are they doing exactly?
The waves work
They seem to play.
And as you see,
The sea is free
But still respects the land.
We come and visit it
Because that’s what we need.
Yet, it treats us all the same
We, as kids playing and fighting
and shouting..
Rarely did we learn to swim
When the tides were galloping.
The sea works in silence
But the waves do it with violence.
Know yourselves to know it better
Because Santiago said very little about it.

(March 2021)
I know rich men who have lived under bridges
and poor men that have never starved a day in their life.
Conozco a hombres ricos que han vivido bajo puentes
y a hombres pobres que nunca han pasado hambre un dia en sus vidas
Necesito que sepas
I need you to know
Sus suenos no estan destinados a permanecer entre las horas de 11pm a 8am
Your dreams are not meant to remain between the hours of 11pm to 8am
Creceran si los riegas
They will grow if you water them
Si se riega usted mismo
if you water yourself
i gave you my hand,
with out knowing you,
igave you my body.
not a clue of what you'd make me feel,
i gave you my heart,
blindly risked the unattempted,
i gave you a child.
unaware i just gave my life and
my all to a stranger
and from all i gave i also recieved
excitement, pleasure, love, and
happyness from once a stranger
came to be my friend, my partner
my lover, my one and only you
i love you

Windswept lovers blown to & fro
Lost at sea so long ago
Their time togehter was bittersweet
Years have past, their love repeats
Picking up where they last left off...
Windswept lovers from long ago
Their names were Domingo & Santiago
Lost at sea, their love transcends
Their love repeats...
