Andromeda Nebula

This is a paragraph I needed to write with some words of the vocabulary, I enjoyed writing this and I’m proud of it because I think it was a good story which I would like to read. The thing of people of other world and the meeting, came from the inspiration the movie “Thor” gave me. I think it is really interesting the idea that other worlds with living beings exist. Hope you enjoy it.

Andromeda

I started packing everything I needed for the conference, I already packed all my clothes and now I needed to find a way to pack all my papers without messing them up. On the last ONU meeting they asked me to do some specific research for the aliens explaining: what is exactly an omnivore, why most of humans are omnivorous, and how and why we differ between meat and vegetables since both come from living beings, how everything worked in the marsupial animals system, like if it caused some side effect when the marsupials kept the “baby” in a pouch after birth, and if it was possible for the aliens to mutate themselves in that way if they liked the marsupials, and what phloem is made of and if other living beings can use it as a tissue that conducts food to other parts of the body. I did this research till I reached the plateau of knowledge that humans have about it. I closed my bag and went out of the house. The rain had just stopped and the smell of ozone filled my nose. A taxi picked me up, I sat in the back seat and looked at the rearview mirror, with some polygonal figures hanging from it, to see if I could recognize the driver, but I’m not sure I’ve seeing him before. He was listening to some news about nocturnal animals and how they survive in daytime on the radio, but he was quite upset because someone kept talking with him like a parasite. The person who talked with him through a radio had many quandaries of the decisions he wanted to make, and he kept asking him about everything he should do as if it depended on the driver. When the driver finally decided he couldn’t stand this person anymore, he shot the radio and apologized for the nuisance of his friend. I finally got to the airport and I had only 10 minutes to get to the gates on time so I started walking fast and maneuvering through the crowd. When I had the tickets and did everything to get into the spaceship I had 40 minutes left. I started watching the news on a T.V. and the news was about a murder, the reporter showed some images of the mutilated body and I thought that the killer must had been inspired by Jack the Ripper, for the outrageous way he killed that young women. Suddenly a familiar face appeared, it was one of the company agents. He was nice but sometimes he annoyed me because he kept talking in metaphors, and he told me it was time to aboard the spaceship. I got in the spaceship and quickly fell asleep. I woke up and ate something before we reached the point of arrival: the future Andromeda Nebula, one of the greatest clouds of interstellar gas and dust in our universe. We walked in the bridge and I was able to see the meeting point, the buildings looked amazing. They were like palaces made of mosaic made of different colorful shining rocks, it was beautiful. I got to my assigned room and got ready for the conference, after that I was introduced to the new king of Althort. He didn’t talk any of our languages, so a translator from his nation helped us to communicate better, but it wasn’t a good translator because he just knew to talk using past participle which was confusing and annoying. Then the conference started, everyone presented what they had to show and the discussions about what was supposed to happen between the Worlds started. The real problem is that some kings or representatives of their nations thought they were the only protagonists of the story, but they weren’t, and they will never be again. I was getting tired of all this mess and decided it was time. I searched for my friends and the fair kings and representatives, and told them it was time and asked if they wanted to stay. Some said yes and others decided they preferred to come with me. We went to the spaceship and pulverized the bridge. When the bridge was destroyed the Andromeda Nebula was created, from the pieces of an old bridge and know there was no possibility to get in or out of the mosaic city. If they decide to live in peace they may find a way out, but they also may not find it because the way out may not exist.

Tan Imposible, Tan Irresistible

 Unhappily I don’t know what inspired me to write this poem since I was almost sleeping in the middle of a car trip, which lasted four and a half hours; I was looking to the  panorama and since spring flourished I noticed it because the flowers, the trees and any plants here in Venezuela get extremely beautiful and colorful, so what happen is that I was looking to the view thinking about nothing and suddenly the idea of the poem came in to my mind and started writing it and trying to imagine it to describe it, so I think it is not bad and I tried to translate to English since I wrote it in Spanish. And maybe Margarita is right, maybe I’m waiting for my first love xD (it doesn't have to be true). Hope you enjoy it :)

La piel dorada que cubre su cuerpo, caliente junto al mío,

sus brazos me rodean en un abrazo protector,

su altura, su ternura,

su sonrisa juguetona,

sus cabellos no mucho más claros que los míos,

sus ojos verdes como los árboles en primavera,

su aliento fresco que golpea delicadamente mi rostro,

su voz un poco ronca y acogedora declara palabras en mi oído

que harían mi cuerpo erizar si no estuviera en su abrazo caliente.

Sus labios rozan suavemente mi oreja y se sellan en un beso sobre mi mejilla,

cerca de mis labios, provocándome,

a él le gusta ver cuánto puedo aguantar, para no entregarme a sus labios, a sus ojos, a su amor,

miro sus ojos,

pongo mi cabeza sobre su pectoral y escucho lo que su corazón me dice,

el habla rápido y me cuenta cuanto me ama, cuanto me quiere,

pongo mis labios sobre su hombro y cierro los ojos, pensando en cómo sería hermoso

si pudiéramos estar juntos sin tener que esconder nuestro amor de los demás.

Levanto mi rostro y le pregunto "porque?", sus ojos se llenan de tristezas,

yo dejo que el mar se libere de mi cuerpo por mis ojos y pongo mi cabeza entre su cuello, 

el me abraza fuerte en un intento de consuelo.

Nos miramos a los ojos y decimos al mismo tiempo "te amo",

pero el sigue hablando de alguien más

y yo sigo arrastrándome dolorosamente a la muerte,

sin poder satisfacer las ganas que mi alma, mi corazón, mi cuerpo, mi amor, tienen de ti.

English version:

The golden skin that covers his body, warm next to mine,

His arms round me in a protective hug,

His height,

His tenderness,

His playful small,

His hair not much brighter than mine,

His green eyes like the trees during spring,

His fresh breath hitting my face gently,

His voice a little hoarse and cozy declares words in my ear

Which would make my body hedgehog if I weren’t in his warm hug.

His lips gently brush against my ear and sealed with a kiss in my cheek,

Near to my lips, provoking me,

He likes to see how much I can stand, to don’t give me up to his lips, his eyes, his love,

I look him in the eyes,

I put my head on his chest and listen what his heart is telling me,

He speaks fast and tells me how much he loves me, how much he wants me,

I rest my lips on his shoulder and close my eyes, thinking about how wonderful it would be

If we could be together without hiding our love from everyone else.

I rise my face and ask him “why?”, his eyes fill with sadness,

I set free the sea from my body through my eyes and put my face between his neck,

He hugs me strongly in an attempt to comfort me.

We look at each other eyes and say at once “I love you”,

But he continues talking, about someone else,

And I continue to painfully drag myself to death,

Unable to satisfy the desire that my soul, my heart, my body, my love, have of you.
