De Princesas y Dragones

De Princesas y Dragones

Imagen por Vincent Desjardins

Sola en una torre descansa una princesa,
su mirada es dulce y su expresión serena
sin embargo su corazón oculta una gran pena.


En las noches bajo la pálida luz de luna
entre las almenas verás su hermosa figura
sin embargo no des alas a la premura.


En las sombras se esconde una temible criatura
que imponente luce junto a la luna


Oh temible criatura!, que guardas
con celos tan grande fortuna
cuida muy bien tu tesoro


Princesa con corazón de oro
no desesperes en tu abandono
pero recuerda que quien sea
digno de presentarse ante tu trono
lo hará para cuidar también de ti
como a su tesoro

-Efraín Valencia

Like an uspoken death sentence
struck straigth to my heart
this reality check
that washes another dream away


A shatering image of crushed hope
vanishing with a deafening noise
is all that's left to keep
on a empty space of 
another thing that couldn't be.

-Efraín Valencia

The most important things are the hardest to say

"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear." 

-Stephen King
