Songs for an Agonizing Soul
The harvest of past illusions has already begun
They’re painted across the horizon, yellow my worries
I started without realizing it, to share my sorrows and
Your fierce fleeting tracks, in eternal merry transit
You are like a gallery of faded illusions
You cross paths without knowing what you’ve crossed
I will always know it, whether you like it or not
Nor perhaps do you care, maybe you never know.

Canciones para un Alma en Agonía
Ya comenzó la siega, de ilusiones de antaño,
Y por el horizonte pintan, amarillas mis penas
He comenzado sin saber, a compartir mis penas y
Tus fieras huellas de pasajera, en eterno transito jovial
Eres como una galería de ensueños marchitos
Que cruzas por mi vida, sin saber que has cruzado
Yo siempre lo sabré, aunque a ti no te guste
Y quizás no te importe, tal vez nunca lo sepas.
***************************************************************************
A medias me acaricias con tu trinar distante, largas millas en medio
Aunque a veces te siento, casi, casi conmigo, pues eres parte mía
Tus manifestaciones, llenas de ambivalencia, como corriente
en mar de tormentosas aguas
Con tu oleaje humedeces, mi alma y mi corazón, pero con
tus palabras a veces a mis ojos.
****************************************************************************
You caress me half way with your withdrawn ballad, long mileage in between;
Although at times I feel you, almost within my life, because you are part of me,
And your manifestations, full of ambivalence
like the currents of sea with agitated waters,
With the waves shower my soul and sometimes even my heart,
but with your words dear, often shower to my eyes.

Palabras hermosas e inquietantes que hablan al alma apasionada que vive dentro de todos nosotros, ya sea despierto o dormido - uno no puede leer estos poemas sin ser tocado para siempre ....
Joanne De Simone, escritor y dramaturgo
Beautiful and haunting words that speak to the passionate soul that lives within all of us whether awake or dormant - one cannot read these poems without being touched forever....

Wonderful and exceptional work .....How each poem is filled with
compassion, kindness and love ....How to love unconditionally.
The secret is, it's all love......It's all doorways to the truth....

I have never considered myself a passionate reader of poetry. Memorias Universales is different though. Reading through the work, your everyday life seems to be far away. It is just you and the emotional and beautiful words that count. Carlos Ortiz Rea accomplishes a work filled with kindness and honesty. A work that lets you break out of your social confinement to indulge in both the magic and pitilessness of love he describes so passionately.
