Offer And Sacrifice
What do you want
to give you
to hand over
this planet to us?
I turned two
stars to look
in their
sparkles your eyes
I looked for two
asteroids to listen
in their sound
your sweet voice
I looked for a
black hole to get lost
in your tender
embrace
What will you
offer us as a sacrifice?
Take my knees
I can’t stand
other bows
Take my face
I can no longer
stand the grimaces
of fear and
loneliness
Take the light
years I went through
in the eternal
night
Just don’t take
my soul
I need it to
count me
the pulses of my
weakened desires
Magical Afternoon
Summer games of
sadness,
holy water in
the mausoleums of memories,
invisible kisses
handed over
in dream killer
wind
We tied in
tomorrow's raft
the entrapped
dreams of our deepest skies
Flaming planets
spent the waters
of our love
In the evenings
we wreak around in space
We were hiding
in the arms of silence,
rising up high
he torches of desire and purification
We were handed
over to the most planetary ecstasy!
We resorted to
celestial temples of visions
We have taken our footsteps to the storm of
time,
looking to paint
the eyes of our love,
adorned with
comets and exploding stars
We traveled our
in love cravings to infinity
We chanted and
flirting
with the sounds
of the vespers harp
We got up in our
hands
the riddles of
upcoming days,
the perfumes of
an enchanted afternoon
wrapped in the
cloak of our love affairs.
The Kiss
Dreams are blown
by a treacherous wind of Summer
who descends
from the heavenly dome uninvited
The old mountain
fades
standing in
front of me
weathered by
time
He crouches
every night inside my mind,
filling it with
disobedient habits
and tired urges
Newborn beasts
spring forth
inside the cold
cortex of my brain
They crawl
helplessly with cripples
two of their
four legs
They flow to the
delta of my desires
Then they dive
in head first
in the sea of
the unrealized,
extinguishing
flames that were forgotten,
biting their
lips which tried
to kiss me with
the “Judas' kiss,
without allowing
harmonization
of their last
flashes with my soul
