The Road by Francisco Bravo Cabrera and Gabriela Marie Milton
The road bends furtively round the passing years,
avoiding those who stubbornly remain,
like a mouse caught in a maze…
The silent path curls back on itself,
Like those who linger lost,
within the flames of our Spanish maze.
Like a ribbon pulled by unseen hands,
The road carries the weight of hopeful smiles
as it gently crosses desert sands…
dreams unfurl in the hush of distant days
a snake coils on my arm
a silken thread torn from a kiss
I’ve walked it under silver skies,
waiting for the morning’s gentle rain,
whispering your name…
Echoes of a touch that never happened,
longing swallowed by memory, I cannot remember why,
the ache of what will always be
Some days the road just seems too long to bear,
If your body remains far from sight,
while I’m dreaming of your soft skin in the night…
White turns reddish pink amid the night
Sands cover their eyes— desires flame
untouched by rhyme.
And though the winds of longing may have changed my stride,
as other roads crossed mine from time to time,
the only road that leads to you forever winds…
Yet in the hush between each step and sigh,
Between my blood and yours
my lips untouched
So here I stand, where journeys start and end,
where all the scattered moments meet.
the road has led me to your heart again
Where our love was born from sand and tombs
from futures that may not exist
The road that led me to your heart again
it has no end.

#art, Pensando en Picasso – Thinking of Picasso
I have been pondering on the ridiculous accusations hurled at Pablo Picasso by the puritanical…and dictatorial…progressive class of the 21st Century. It is amazing at the lengths they go to try to control, judge and impose their morality upon us all! It is important not to judge Pablo Picasso by the moral standards of our time, as he lived and created within a very different social and cultural context. While his personal relationships were complex and sometimes controversial, many accounts suggest he maintained deep emotional connections with the women in his life and, always sought to support and protect them within the norms and expectations of his era. Really, the new left is the most far right thing I have ever seen…

Ya que los liberales y progresistas del Siglo 21…estos moralistas y puritanos…quieren controlar, de forma dictatorial, a todos e imponernos sus locuras y la filosofía de lo «correcto políticamente», digo yo: Es importante no juzgar a Pablo Picasso según los estándares morales de nuestra época, ya que vivió y creó en un contexto social y cultural muy distinto. Aunque sus relaciones personales fueron complejas y a veces controvertidas, muchos testimonios indican que mantuvo vínculos emocionales profundos con todas las mujeres de su vida y que, siempre las apoyó y protegió, y ninguna se quejó.
