TWO POEMS

I sort of hate poetry but it's okay in Spanish for some reason?

--

I want to write something...

That will put tears in your eyes
That will light a fire in your chest
That will make you the only person in the world

You will feel the saddest
You will feel the most passionate
You will feel the most alone

There will not be more in you
There will not be hallows in you
There will not be an end in you

It will be all you want
It will be all you fear
It will be all you hate
It will be all you are

And I will stop the sun from setting, only for you...

--

I am so tall that
Mountains tremble
When I pass by,
Trees are
Only a forest,
And birds cannot
Fly above me

I am so large that
Bears cry
When they see me,
Lakes hide
In my footprint,
And cities are a painting
In the nail of my finger

I am so strong that
Rivers stop
When they hear my name
The wind is not
More than a sigh
And earthquakes are
The echo of my scream

I am so me that
The world does not care
That I am short
That I am small
That I am weak

I am tall, large and strong
