Friend

 

Unannounced our friendship…gone

Would not take much to save it

 

In a capitalist world

… everything is recyclable…

Why not make it work?

 

In a modern world…

Why fix if you can get it new…

Would not take much to do wonders

 

Just wanted to be your friend

A friend like no other

Your best friend!!!

True Friendship

In a glimpse, I will write again
about a true friendship;
based in trust, respect...
it has its tolerance,
its patient
it’s fulfilled with tenderness
Above all its forgiving,
faithfulness.
In the darkest moments,
be the light that will guide you
to an awakening.
A true friend is ready to share,
its understanding
won’t let you be a hopeless soul.
Would be a shade for the other become visible.
Then, I write again,
to you my true friend.

It is to come…

 

 

What kind man you are

To let the woman of your dreams

Walk out of the door…

 

What kind man you are

That could not stand

 To your promises and dreams…

 

What kind man you are

Seating in a corner wondering …

….Did I make the right decision?

I question that every day….

 

What kind man you are

That cannot put yourself

In a position to make decisions on your own

 

This man is not the one for me

Nor, the one I love

 

It is to come!!!

So Simple

Thinking about reaching the road

Just in case…

It’s a perfect time to start fresh

I know who is going to be with me

At the beginning…

I know who is going to travel with me

Thru the years…

I know who is going to be there-

At the end.

It’s the one who sees the world

Within the same colors

Transparent colors

Real colors!!!

Forever

Your mark is forever

upon me...

You gave me love

you gave me songs

for the rain

You recited poems

that remain

you told me of pain

 

My heart says

"take the risk"

And I will take you

under my wing

like the eagle...

Together in unbreakable

Love!

Innocent Ballad

 

I remember a girl…
seated in the front door
facing the streets every morning;
Looking at each person  passing by.
Some was loading in distress;
the suffering
Some celebrating…
… the inducement of the morning.

I remember a girl...
Every afternoon, underneath
the foot of a lemon tree
bare-footed in the soil
of a beaten clay yard

Always singing; innocent ballads
Always dreaming; incandescent dreams

I remember a girl...
Thirst for life
Hunger to understand; frighten

I remember a girl...
Floating the narrow streets
Of washed rocks;
socket rocks, drained.
Flying without wings.

I remember a girl...
A beautiful girl.

Shadows

 

So many things....

Mixed feelings

Little sections of words,

Fragmented thoughts.

A deep voice echoing...

Keep opening and quickly closing my mind.

It's a sound so profound were

 I to surrender to a lonely pace

Yes, in time we knew almost nothing

 Of each other.

My love is the only truth left, my pride.

You can ride in futile possession.

But, the only thing you cannot erase,

 Is your shadow...

And then, I will became visible again.
