Spark Magical colors and heavenly clouds set the background for tonight I see your shadow in the distance your hair is blending with the eve Your image slowly disappears with the birds melody lets dance with the wind pretty girl   As I drive I see the red sunset    my orange spark glowing red burning hot   summer peaches in my sweet dessert I drive west and I must forget whatever happened when I was your guest Beloved princess I see your misty eyes the clouds are no longer cotton white the darkness seems to embrace all this beauty    The cold wind is blowing hard   Shooting stars glide past my eyes but I don't see where they land I recall the warmth of those moments the moonlight is dim but is covering my shoulders I embrace all the memories even though I am aching like a child Where am I going without you the night is turning black and you're no longer mine please surrender one more time I scream for mercy one more time Manuel Cardoso What does it really mean you ask why ask why close your eyes and be mine once again are you the one Today I must record a million notes a billion sounds in my memory bank   A magical storm of memories explodes   As I play a swet melody from my past   I bask in this amazing experience For I know today could be my last   I rejoice as my soul dances to the rhythm touring the marble floor I play the music like a classical waltz   Even if you no longer exist I persist sweet princess The prescence of your spirit is making me warm   I step outside and I embrace the ocean's breeze  I scream in ecstacy   "Where have you gone"   I walk past the rose garden one more time The sweet perfume of so many flowers reminds me the tenderness of all your smiles   The mocking bird has arrived and his fancy music float like bubbles in front of the pond   I want to share this beauty with you love   These different pictures with their pretty colors slowly make my future seem bright I want to hold them dearly even if today I must die Manuel Cardoso

Kings, not on this domain, we're all still part of the same category - only one prince per family please, who wants to be a ruler in this slum. Whatever happened to the food chain, what was the name of the commoner sweeping the floor inside the castle? Was that a queen passing by, I just felt a fancy cape touch my face, where is the knight in armor...

Reyes, no existen en este territorio, todavia somos todos parte de la misma categoria - porfavor solamente un principe por familia, quien quiere reinar en esta pocilga. Que le paso a la cadena alimenticia, cual es el nombre del plebeyo que estaba barriendo el piso en el castillo? Fue una reina la que pasaba? Senti una capa fina tocar mi cara, donde esta el caballero... Manuel Cardoso

Yes! You guessed right, what else right, birds in my mind again; those amazing creatures on the blue. God, breaks my heart to see so many everywhere, will I ever get there, there they go in a circle again - like breaking the clouds- amazing birds flying around that dirty clock...

Claro que si! Adivinaste, que mas pues, nuevamente aves en mi mente; esas criaturas increibles en el azul. Dios, se me rompe el corazon de ver tantas por doquier, acaso podre yo estar ahi, ahi van en un circulo nuevamente- como atravezando las nubes- aves increibles volando alrededor de esa reloj sucio...

I  am awake! Time to write - the piano is on, the violin is done, I have no idea for how long- better get ready, the rush takes control, just like bedtime stories; nothing lasts forever, time to get on the avenue, my time has come. Don't you agree, please don't make me wait, damn it, is raining outside, and I love it; no idea how long, it does not matter, the music is on, time to get busy Yo.....

Estoy despierto! Hora de escribir - el piano esta encendido, el violin ya termino, no tengo la menor idea cuanto mas va  a durar- mas vale que me prepare, la emocion, asi como un cuento de nenes; nada dura para siempre, es hora de ponerse en la avenida, ha llegado mi hora. No estas de acuerdo, porfavor no me hagas esperar, chingao, esta lloviendo afuera, me encanta, no tengo idea cuanto durara, que importa la musica ya empezo, es hora de ocuparse Tu...Manuel Cardoso

Images with special effects; pictures and paintings without music, where is the damned essence - you can have either one- I want both! Yes please respond, is your obligation to deliver the goods...

Imagenes con effectos especiales; fotografias y obras de arte sin musica, donde esta la maldita esencia - pudiera ser el uno o el otro- quiero los dos, responde ahora, es tu obligacion entregar los abarrotes...Manuel Cardoso                       www.sevenwhitedoves.com


Time and time again, in a circle, dreams in slow mode, foot prints and finger prints, words engraved in the air. Mmm, rules and wisdom, take a step and look back, forget the footprints; your hands go in the front - you explore as you touch, your fingerprints making art as you cry. Life is short- or so they say...

Una vez tras otra, en el circulo, los sueños en un cyclo lento, pisadas y huellas, palabras engravadas en el aire. Ayyy, reglas y sabiduria, toma un paso y mira atras, olvidate de las pisadas; tus manos estan al frente - exploras mientras tocas, tus huellas estan haciendo arte mientras lloras. La vida es corta - es lo que dicen pues....Manue Cardoso             www.manuelcardoso.com

Rain-La lluvia

The moon disappeared, the clouds took over the sky; everything was dark, rain was coming, people were asking for it -were they really for it - what the hell are they going to do with so much rain now? Be careful what you ask for - you will get it, and then what....

La luna desaparecio, las nubes cubrieron el cielo, todo era obscuro, ya venia la lluvia, la gente la habia pedido- en verdad estaban listos para tanta- que pinches ivan a hacer con tanta lluvia? Ten cuidado con lo que pides - te llegara, y despues que... Manuel Cardoso

Games
 I know you, you don't know me, and he knows you, do we really know each other?
are you really my sister-my brother-my friend

en verdad eres mi hermana-my hermano-mi amigo

Options-possibilities-decisions, and actions blend together in you brain; the pain goes away, you're back again, it's time to claim what's rightfully yours....

Cha Cha
The lady arrived to the dance hall, without  paying attention to any one in partiucular, took off his coat, and walked directly to my friend's Chuy spot. Without a word, simply grabbed his hand- and guiding him towards the dance floor- she took him straight to the center of the hall; and without a warning, with a warm motion, her beautiful body, very close to his, she slowly started to dance to Cha Cha once more...

Llego la dama al salon de baile, sin mirar a nadie se quito su abrigo, y fue directamente hasta dondes estaba mi amigo el Chuy. No dijo nada, simplemente lo tomo de la mano-y guiandolo hacia la pista de baile- lo llevo hasta el centro del salon; y sin prevenirlo, con un movimiento calido, su cuerpo hermoso pegado al de el- lentamente empezo a danzar al ritmo del Cha Cha una vez mas..Mc     www.manuelcardoso.com

Caribe
I look around, here I am, awake! Is not time to get back yet. What am I supposed to do when dreaming is exploring and exploring is dreaming?
Waves of desire rush through my brain, my Latin blood takes control!
I don't care if it's only dawn, it's time to seduce life -I want  to make love to her...

Miro a mi alrededor, aqui estoy! No es hora de levantarse todavia. Que es lo que debo hacer cuando las pinches letras de mi abecedario no encajan en este formato - sonar es explorar y explorar es sonar. Corrientes del deseo corren por mi cerebro, mi sangre Latina toma control. Que importa si tan solo es la alba, es hora de seducir la vida-quiero hacerle el amor...Mc  www.manuelcardoso.com

For the third time

Seriously-I lost my original document 3 times already- a conspiracy?

I was saying, how will you know, when will you know, what's the first action?
Damn it, reaction, you will pick up the rags of your old self, and you will use it as a bandage to wipe off the liquids from your old placenta. Time to dive into the dream-and make your life a reality!

Tercera Llamada
No estoy bromeando-Ya perdi el documento 3veces-Es un complot?
Y decia, como sabras, cuando sabras, cual sera la primera acccion?
Como una chingada, reaccion, levantaras los trapajos viejos de tu pellejo, y lo usaras como vendas para limpiar los liquidos de tu placenta vieja. Es hora de sumerjirte en el sueño-y haz tu vida una realidad. Mc

Culpa

The  infamous tree in the garden, two people-boy and girl- alone with nothing to do; please tell me, what are they supposed to do, play marbles, jump rope for hours? They decided to explore, so what, no need to to get excited; why point fingers at each other, I am sure their creator meant well, and they both meant no harm as well, they were just exploring...blame-what is that?)


El arbol infame en el jardin, dos personas-una nena y un nene-solos sin nada que hacer; dime por favor, que carajos ivan hacer, jugar a las canicas, brincar la cuerda por horas? Se decidieron a explorar, que tiene de malo, no hay necesidad de emocionarse; para que apuntarse el uno o el otro, estoy seguro que su creador tenia buenas intenciones, y ellos dos tambien, solo estaban explorando...(Culpa-que es eso)

Why not, a bit of color, adios the everyday black & white letters we see everyday in our lives; life is full and alive, time to dance-in color-lets travel to planet trance... Forget that old saying "Dance like no one is watching..." Let some one watch, form a circle, and get the party started!

Y porque no, poco de color, bye bye a las letras de blanco y negro que miramos a diario en nuestas vidas. La vida esta viva y completisima, es hora de bailar-en color-a viajar al planeta trance...
Olvidate de el dicho que dice, "Baila como si no te viera nadie," Que te mire alguien, que se forme el circulo, y que empieze la fiesta!

Friends and enemies, correct if that's the way you see it, they're all the same-human beings with the same make up-yes I know; probably wired up differently, but at the end, all humans with feelings. Treat everyone right, I know is none of your business to deal with attitudes, nasty comments, or any other ridiculous conversations. My take is, there's always a lesson to be learned, don't stay for coffee, just wish them a good day, and say; "Hasta la vista baby..."

Amigos y enemigos, no importa como lo veas, todos son iguales-seres humanos con el mismo material- y si, lo se; educados diferentemente, pero al final todos humanos con sentimientos. Trata a todos bien, se que a ti no te importa tener que lidiar con actitudes, comentarios rudos, o cualquier conversacion ridicula sin sentido. Lo que yo pienso es, siempre hay una leccion que aprender, no te quedes a tomar cafe, deseadles un buen dia, y diles, "Hasta la vista bebe..."

This is not a different planet; we're the same people, one race, the continuous evolution of this society. What exactly are you doing today for your community, your neighborhood, your family, your path in this world.

Sueña

Greetings to everyone-saludos a todos mis amigos, Manuel here; yes it's time to get connected with the free community, time to meet the world! Now is the time for the world to meet me! Today I come out of my own womb, and become a new fantasia. Today I present my ideas to the world, for now-more than ever, it's crucial to blend our experiences, strengths, and qualites with people like you. I know you are out there waiting  my-amigo-amiga- new friends. It's time to open lines of communication through this concection, time to share dreams that become a true reality every time we comeback from trips to Planet Siesta . More than ever we must unite forces, and  through this invisible alliance go beyond the everyday boredom of society's nonsense.( Besos)
