Bluebird
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the prostitutes and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

Nos enseñaron desde niños
cómo se forma un cuerpo
sus órganos sus huesos
sus funciones sus sitios
pero nunca supimos
de qué estaba hecha el alma
¿será de sentimientos /
de ensueños / de esperanzas?
¿de emociones / de tirrias /
de estupores?
lo cierto es que / ignorada /
el alma arde...

Moments that take your breath away... Moments when you just stop to think how perfect life is and how much you love it

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

“Life, he realized, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”

One at at time
Some people try to change the world one life at a time. Others try to change the world one death at a time. And I try to change the world one smile at a time.

He evinced a didacticism bordering on pedantry... and it made me want to fuck the hell out of him.
