GLASS OF CRYSTAL /VASO DE CRISTAL


I threw a glass of crystal to the ground

To see that no one understood my heartbreak

And he understood me

Was broken and no longer be the same again

My soul is as sensitive as crystal

When I look my beauty in the mirror and remember you

Remember that your love

Was my most sweet and silly reflection

 

Of the glass I have learned

That I have to give my soul to its place

To a love with promises of floor

Do not will break me again

There are glasses that those promises fall hard

And will never break

I could have been born of plastic 

And not break my crystal

But that way I chose to be

To learn

But today I can wash this glass

And even I can recycle it. 

 

Tiré un vaso de cristal

Por ver que nadie entendía mi desamor

Y el me entendió a mi

Se quebró y ya no volvió a estar igual

Es tan sensible mi alma como cristal

Cuando miro mi belleza ante el espejo

Y te recuerdo

Recuerdo que tu amor

Fue mi más dulce y tonto reflejo

 

Del cristal he aprendido

Que tengo que darle a mi alma

Su lugar

Para que un amor con promesas de piso

No me vuelva a quebrar

 

Hay vasos que caen a esas promesas duras

Y no se rompen jamás

Pudiera haber nacido de plástico

Y no romper mi cristal

Pero de esa manera elegí ser

Para aprender

Pero hoy en día puedo lavar este vaso

Y hasta lo puedo reciclar.

Hello my name is Jonatan Vega as you all see I love poetry.My favorite languages are Spanish,French,English and some Italian,but my first language is Spanish.I live in US but I am from México.I am a college student at American River college in Sacramento,CA.I consider myself as very talented.I am very confident.I am kinda quiet,but when you get to know me I am amazing.I consider defining what the soul feels is art:poetry.I am a painful poet most of the time,but I could write about everything when I put that objective in my mind.I love love for what it is.i am a amazing person if you get to talk to me Some of My work focuses on what I see as the repression of women by men. This often takes the form of personal insults directed at men in general Love,Heartbreak.life changed my writing by helping me to lose my former models, and reach a more dramatic lyricism, my style now showed more realism than before.Recurring themes in my work include love,hearbreak,humanism, nature, alienation,loss, love, pain, growth, hope,death, family, sorrow, women’s issues, and violence.Although my portrayal of men is ironic and critical,I felt a strong need for love, and Im able to express the tension and passion these ambivalent feelings in poetry both simple and deeply sensual, expressing an original note in erotic poetry in a sensitive manner. .
