Feelings into words: The Masterpiece of Flames [ENG/SPA]

in Cervantes3 years ago



The Masterpiece of Flames



Hurried footsteps in the distance,
a warm voice that I could no longer hear
an unknown feeling haunted me,
after I was almost swallowed by the sea.


Silence flooded the place
I was insistently trying to find someone or something,
there was no longer a trace of dignity
and without it, the feeling was making sense.


A black mantle covered the sky
the stars could not be seen
I had lost everything, there was no more time,
the city slept in flames.


An unpleasant smell filtered in
images of burning bodies appeared in my mind like memories,
I heard the voice again, but it lacked warmth.


Can't you sleep for their screams?


Hypnotic flames proudly illuminated their masterpiece,
unrecognizable bodies created a path
you could breathe the suffering and despair,
suddenly I remembered who I was looking for
my sight blurred.


I was walking like a empty body soulless through the night,
I could see nothing but misfortune,
the spring in my face was gone.


I stumbled over something and in horror I remembered
words that once made my heart beat
now tore it remorselessly,
"I'm afraid he never made it home."

Pasos apresurados en la lejanía,
una voz cálida que ya no podía escuchar
un sentimiento desconocido me perseguía,
después que casi fui tragado por el mar.


El silencio inundaba el lugar
intentaba encontrar alguien o algo con insistencia,
ya no había ni un rastro de dignidad
y sin ella, el sentimiento fue cobrando sentido.


Un manto negro cubría el cielo
no se podían ver las estrellas
lo había perdido todo, ya no había tiempo,
la ciudad dormía en llamas.


Un olor desagradable se filtró
imágenes de cuerpos ardiendo aparecieron en mi mente como recuerdos
volví a escuchar la voz, pero carecía de calor.


¿No puedes dormir por sus gritos?


Hipnóticas flamas iluminaban orgullosas su obra,
cuerpos irreconocibles creaban un camino
se podía respirar el sufrimiento y desesperación,
de pronto recorde a quien buscaba
mi vista se nubló.


Caminaba como un cuerpo sin alma a través de la noche
no se podía ver nada más que desgracia,
el manantial en mi rostro no sesaba.


Tropecé con algo y horrorizado recordé
palabras que una vez hicieron latir mi corazón
ahora lo desgarraban sin remordimiento,
"me temo que nunca llegó a casa".
