WHIRLS
Winds of the heavens
caress the embraced naked
of the trees branches where
they are watered
with the tears of rain
Dawn one day even
and a New Prayer
in thankful lips
Flower seeds fall into the soil
My body calm
the veins are poured into the river
of forgetfulness in the red blossoms
It's been years, white angels around me
There I will leave the soul and my heart
VOICES
The places were deserted of the song
the dry thirsty land
the winds devoured her
and difficult times
our heart
***
But the voices remained................
Actors, clowns
in fallacy and comedy
to the absurd
the flood and the low tide
***
Your hands are yours
hands hidden in freedom
in hiding places of love
keep stars
***
In the first Sun
in the new wind
will discover them
and let love come again
forgotten rhapsody
To fill up
mind and heart
THE UNBORN
stirs confused
at net of the need
simple heart
in ephemeral life
violent rotating
In the visceral marks
the heart
indestructible fighting
the mind overcomes
In a favorite body
craving and power
the soul gives birth
and frees
An unborn flower
the fertilizer
of soul in peace and
eternally grows
ODE OF PEACE
Oh! Peace sprout of the earth
with the dream of the dream, in every First East
in the gaze of love, You
The Harpies are chasing you to imprison you
Oh! Peace, in the bright Alkyonides of a blessed winter in the beauty of the Sun, in the supplications in the cries
in the distant voices of the stars
In the aspects of life on the horizon
and the Tombstones of the Heroes
where the light freezes, Peace You
Oh! Peace on the lonely stone, set the beautiful flower
on it grows desperately
in the girlish dances, in the smiles, in the blooming roses that did not bloom in vain
in the closed doors that aged
waiting for loved ones
in the failure of the sphere, asking for a target
in faceless neighborhoods with ordinary people struggling to survive
In the hearts of the people you are constantly "born"
and you travel silently, Peace You
