Poem 997_Emily Dickinson

Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Delapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.
'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust--
Ruin is formal--Devils work
Consecutive and slow--
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping--is Crashe's law.

Helena

Helena, el mundo está en silencio porque no existes.  Las nubes caminan sobre el campo azul y sus pasos no se escuchan. La lluvia se estrella contra las ventanas sin que su sonido sea percibido.  No existe tu llanto llenando la habitación a media noche. No existe tu risa en el bosque, junto al lago.  Nadie ha de pronunciar nunca tu nombre. Nunca voy a conocer tu olor, nunca voy a acariciarte. El océano vibra desde sus profundidades y escupe su espuma en el litoral pero su rugido ha enmudecido. Apenas fuiste un deseo, una minúscula posibilidad. Apenas fuiste todo lo que me faltó para darme cuenta de que caer al vacío era el primer paso para volar. No hay materia a la cual nombrar o sepultar, por eso dejo evidencia de ti en estas palabras. Todo hubiera sido dado, sólo por ver el mundo a través de tu mirada. No hubo hechizo o pócima para traerte a mis brazos. Incluso el viento ha venido a despeinarme en total sigilo. El mundo calla porque no estas conmigo. Alguien me escribi...

I Still Love Him (National Anthem Monologue)_Lana Del Rey

  And I remember when I met him It was so clear that he was the only one for me We both knew it, right away And as the years went on, things got more difficult We were faced with more challenges I begged him to stay Try to remember what we had at the beginning He was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it When he walked in Every woman's head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn't contain himself I always got the sense that he became torn Between being a good person and missing out On all of the opportunities that life could Offer a man as magnificent as him And in that way I understood him And I loved him I loved him, I loved him, I loved him And I still love him I love him

Lady Lazarus_Sylvia Plath

 I have done it again.    One year in every ten    I manage it—— A sort of walking miracle, my skin    Bright as a Nazi lampshade,    My right foot A paperweight, My face a featureless, fine    Jew linen. Peel off the napkin    O my enemy.    Do I terrify?—— The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?    The sour breath Will vanish in a day. Soon, soon the flesh The grave cave ate will be    At home on me And I a smiling woman.    I am only thirty. And like the cat I have nine times to die. This is Number Three.    What a trash To annihilate each decade. What a million filaments.    The peanut-crunching crowd    Shoves in to see Them unwrap me hand and foot—— The big strip tease.    Gentlemen, ladies These are my hands    My knees. I may be skin and bone, Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.    The first time it ...
