Poetry | Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis

by Nathalie Markoch

how could you imagine

raindrops falling down from the skies?

are you able to explain

the aurora borealis in my heart?

did you ever imagine the whole

filling up this hole?

or could you ever forget

these Hazel Eyes of hope?

ready to know?

ready to go?

understand,

there's something you call magic

on my words and rhymes

underline,

the true meaning and decline

the lack of wisdom inside

ready to show?

ready to love?

let this river flow

down into the ocean

and meet my soul

at the northern shore, beloved

Poetry | Sealed in Me

Sealed in Me

by Nathalie Markoch

Innocence gone and you can´t see much further

Waiting until you encounter the key

Where the truth is hiding upon tears

Although we are still friends

You are sealed in me forever

Sealed in me forever here

Sealed behind those shaded dreams

Sealed in me, believe it's real

Sealed and wounded by closest fears

Fears control the whole

Near it comes the deepest ocean

Here you deceive it all

Clear we see, and clearly I suffer

Void, it's all I can sense

Pain includes cold shaking hands

That's all that's left in me

Replaced only when I listen to that voice

Calming down my horrors

Sealed in me forever here

Sealed behind those shaded dreams

Sealed in me, believe it's real

Sealed and wounded by closest fears

Created kingdoms, never faced truth

Behind the veil, there's only you

The illusion just faded away

Believed walls would be my strength

But decayed 'cause of the pain

And this should be sealed in me forever

Sealed in me forever here

Sealed behind those shaded dreams

Sealed in me, believe it's real

Sealed and wounded by closest fears

No suelo sentirme cómoda frente a cámaras, por lo que llamé a Alonso Valdivia (un buen amigo del colegio) para que me hiciera la primera sesión de fotos profesionales para este proyecto.

Gracias por las fotos, Alonso. ¡Quedaron geniales!

Poetry | Are you Still Alive?

Are you Still Alive?

by Nathalie Markoch

Are you still alive?

Don't you wanna know if

I also made it through the night

Won't you still be waiting

Until I promise I won't cry

Oh, are you still alive?

Is this true or a dream?

Am I also watching you

The way you're watching me?

Hold you in my arms

Or am I holding only these

These empty, hollow 

broken shaded ribs

No, I can't reach you out there

No, I must be living somewhere else 

Before... before...

Before I met you

Are you still alive?

Should I stand and fight

Or should I give you all my life?

Hope to find a reason

That keeps me safe from time

Oh, are you still alive?

Will this lead to an end?

Will this have a meaning?

Will you finally understand?

There´s nowhere to run to

without your stretching holding hand

Your frozen, absent, callused hand

No, I can't reach you out there

No, I must be living somewhere else 

Before... before.. 

Before I met you

You're out of touch

You're out of sight

I'm out of my mind!

Your face fades out

You're mine, I know

But I can't figure it out..

If you do love..

So why are you not..

Why are you not..

Alive

No, I can't reach you out there

No, I must be living somewhere else 

Before... before.. 

Before I met you

You are out of sight

Are you still alive?

Am I still alive?

Music | Nathalie Markoch - Feint (EPICA cover)

El otro día quise subir a Youtube una grabación que hice hace un tiempo de la canción Feint de la banda holandesa de metal sinfónico EPICA. 

Me acuerdo de que ese día estaba en el comedor de mi casa, un sábado en la mañana, y no había nadie en el primer piso, así que aproveché esos momentos de tranquilidad momentánea para correr y traer la computadora y prender la webcam. 

¿Por qué la webcam? Porque no sé qué le pasa a la entrada de micrófono que no funciona bien, la tengo que mandar a arreglar… bueno, como decía…

Prendí la laptop y comencé a grabar canciones que salían como pan caliente, jajaja. ¡Cuando no hay nadie en mi casa, uno debe aprovechar! Fue así como salió Feint, y junto con ella salieron también "Run for a Fall" de EPICA, "I See You" del soundtrack de Avatar, cantada por Leona Lewis y "The Key" de After Forever.

Me decidí a subir esta canción porque tiene un significado especial… al menos más especial que las otras que grabé ese día. Feint fue la primera canción de EPICA que escuché en el 2004.

EPICA

Feint

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished

Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart

Made foundations quiver

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break

And I shiver...

The leftover tallow just doesn't contain

All the right answers

Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

An untouched snow turns red

Innocence dies

This black page in history is not colourfast,

will stain the next

All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be

This black page in history is not colourfast,

will stain the next

And nothing seems in life,

in dreams like what was meant to be

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart

Made foundations quiver

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break

And I shiver...
