Heavenly Spaces

I have become a resident of heavenly blue,

The brakes of the planets slipped from my hand,

I fell lost in the empty space of the heavens,

Illusions crumpled like dried petals of roses.

I am a guest of the Ashes,

What to do for these infinite heavens,

To this swallowing space?

Where are the heart whites,

To return me back to Earth?

Listen to me?!

What would keep the continuity of our World

If dies GOODNESS?

With Hope

In this drowsy evening,

I search through my notes some old addresses,

Over the wrinkled sheet.

Scripture has eaten the years,

Like hungry bumblebees ripping the fruit

in the tranquillity of the night.

Is there any address,

Send me tonight to the lonely spirit,

Who groans like me to find the other half?

I turn to the axis of the lost years,

Caught in guilt,

I could not keep up the balance

In the face of the greatness of the people I knew.

The ears earthquake had crushed the castles of dreams,

The last stones of memory swallowed

Ruthless whirlwind of cruel times.

Old addresses on yellow sheets,

The jaws of the time had chewed the fate of the people.

I still persevere in hope

To find a path

To lead me to the desired soul,

At night being disturbed by dreams.

Do Not Hesitate To Love

Love things that your eyes see!

For example,

The purple dawn that descends to the slope of the mountain

And wakes the blondes.

Love the people with whom you shared the time

Drinking a coffee

On the morning crumpled by the negligence of the night!

Love the day you left a quarrel

As a broken branch by harsh words.

Love what you have enviably seen

That went far, there

Where your mind looked at the trumpet

And opened grooves at the beginning of the plucked time,

Raised the flag at house at the centre of the Universe

Created by the good inhabitants of the planet.
