Puedo Escribir (tonight I can write)
Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'I have never felt the convincing waves
Crashing over the rocks of my heart'
Or, 'this night I have watched a thousand suns dying,
Extinguished from existence in the obsidian sky'
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Only in loving her does the puzzle seem complete.
For only after being in the midst of chaos
Is it possible to comprehend the nature of peace.
Our souls have danced together underneath a waxing moon
Though she slept in a distant place sharing the same sky
And I have understood her with just one look
And she has loved me a centuries worth in a heartbeat.
This love and understanding; it is all of existence now.
The sky is nothing but a cord that connects us, a song she sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines. So simply.
Without fear of losing my soul to the underworld.
Her song. It is her song that will keep me,
Keep me willingly caught in her cage,
Keep me from writing the saddest lines
Yet ever having to feel their pain again.
Though these be some of the first words
I write for her…
Nothing is more certain within my soul
