Y SIN EMBARGO TE QUIERO

Me lo dijeron mil veses,
Más yo nunca quise poner atensión.
Cuando vinieron los llantos
Ya estabas muy dentro de mi corazón.
Te esperaba hasta muy tarde,
Ningún reproche te hasía;
Lo mas que te preguntaba
Era que si me queries.
Y, bajo tus besos,
En la madrugá,
Sin que tu notaras la crú de mi angustia
Solía cantá:

Te quiero más que a mis ojos,
Te quiero más que a mi vía,
Más que el aire que respiro
Y mas que a la mare mía.
Que se me paren los pulsos si te dejo de queré
Que las campanas me doblen si te farto alguna vé.

Eres mi vía y mi muerte,
Te lo juro, compañero;
Ne debía de quererte
No debía de quererte
Y sin embargo te quiero.

Vives con unas y otras
Y na' se te importa de mi soledá;
Sabes que tienes un hijo
Y ni el apellío le vienes a dá.
Llorando junto a la cuna
Me dan las claras del día.
Mi niñono tiene pare…
¡Que pena de suerte mía!
Anda rey de España,
Vamos a dormí,
Y, sin darme cuenta, en ves de una nana
Yo le canto así:

Te quiero más que a mis ojos,
Te quiero más que a mi vía,
Más que el aire que respiro
Y mas que a la mare mía.
Que se me paren los pulsos si te dejo de queré
Que las campanas me doblen si te farto alguna vé.

Eres mi vía y mi muerte,
Te lo juro, compañero;
Ne debía de quererte
No debía de quererte
Y sin embargo te quiero

Oscar Wilde

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Small conversation in the afternoon with John Fante (Bukowski)




he said, "I was working in Hollywood when Faulkner was working in Hollywood and he was the worst: he was too drunk to stand up at the end of the afternoon and so I had to help him into a taxi day after day after day.




"but when he left Hollywood, I stayed on, and while I didn't drink like that maybe I should have, I might have had the guts then to follow him and get the hell out of there."




I told him, "you write as well as Faulkner"




"you mean that?" he asked from the hospital bed, smiling.

For Jane: With All the Love I Had, Which Was Not Enough. Charles Bukowski

I pick up the skirt,
I pick up the sparkling beads
in black,
this thing that moved once
around flesh,
and I call God a liar,
I say anything that moved
like that
or knew
my name
could never die
in the common verity of dying,
and I pick
up her lovely
dress,
all her loveliness gone,
and I speak to all the gods,
Jewish gods, Christ-gods,
chips of blinking things,
idols, pills, bread,
fathoms, risks,
knowledgeable surrender,
rats in the gravy of two gone quite mad
without a chance,
hummingbird knowledge, hummingbird chance,
I lean upon this,
I lean on all of this
and I know
her dress upon my arm
but
they will not
give her back to me

Beauty and the Beast: Fantasy in Two Acts by Fernand Noziere



When her kiss transforms the Beast, she is furious.




"You should have warned me! Here I was smitten by an exceptional being, and all of a sudden, my fiance becomes an ordinary distinguished young man!"

Simone de Beauvoir



Surviving one’s own life, living on the other side of it like a spectator, is quite comfortable after all. You no longer expect anything, no longer fear anything, and every hour is like a memory.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The Brothers Karamazov​



I exist.' In thousands of agonies — I exist. I'm tormented on the rack — but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar — I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.

Mariah Gordon-Dyke. Please don’t forget me







I couldn’t tell you


what it was that


inevitably made her 


so special to me,


but I do know that


there has never been


another person that


has made me feel


as at home within


my own skin as 


she has, and even


in her silence, 


I can feel her loving


me from wherever


she may be.
