Adobo Criollo Sergio Antonio Ortiz Rivera

you don't have to keep it under lock and key if I risk it all will you break           my fall?

you pinned  wings on my back and I flew into your dreams like a hologram clavaste alas en mi espalda y volé hacia tus sueños como un holograma

I used to paint frost bitten leaves-- I was sad, aimless like a river an empty coffer

for Yehia  I am a rock breathing with the lungs of a lunatic …* a twenty first century teacher tying your shoelace *Adonis - ‘A Mirror for The Twentieth Century’

for Yehia  you are a book written on the stalk of a cedar a phoenix hidden in a wild flower

to the first person that helps me set sail I plan on giving them the sky and my understanding

talk to me baby sometimes I lock myself up behind open doors... either I'm yours or I belong to the wind give me an excuse something I can swallow… don't worry baby, today is Sunday God is resting

give me an excuse something I can swallow don't worry today is Sunday God is resting

you are the sun that does not let me see... it can't be, how can it be? I'm like the earth you walk on

sometimes I lock myself up behind open doors... it's that I'm yours or I belong to the wind

there's nothing more beautiful than what I've never had-- I search for a full moon scratching the sea someplace between my pillow and my bed love was a bird on the wing wrapped around your nape

sometimes the way my cat purrs  reminds me of you… I pay more attention to the rain on those days

Nocturne I'm sad yet my eyes don't shed tears my gaze has drifted to the quiet end of the park my love is distant and my fatigued soul joins the mist of dreams… monotonous winter twilight waiting for spring the stars are sad, yet my ears vibrate to the expression of love... I'm horrified to find I am alone

my love is far and my fatigued soul joins  the mist of dreams monotonous winter twilight waithing for spring

I am sad  yet my eyes don't shed tears  my serene gaze is lost in the quiet end of the park

how sad is the scent of jasmine... I dive closer to time, eyes heavy with nostalgia

caribbean bliss… if you’re hurting, lay it all on me, would you spend your life with me?

daybreak... magenta clouds cover the morning sky I miss you but I don’t know why

the stars begin to gather... I run but for you I want to stay

you are everything to me if I risk it all could you break my fall?
