They Are Not Just Words

 

It is a flow of thoughts and emotions that know no lies.

Loyalty is born from seeds already ingrained in the heart, and the union with fidelity erects pillars of bridges upon which are spread carpets covered with petals of exotic roses that bloomed in the Hanging Gardens and were kept in clay bottles since ancient Babylon, reaching up to contemporary times, when from degradation and falsehood not even roses and flowers have any longer been genuine.

The first great emperor, visionary and far-sighted, thought to honor your beauty, which has come at all times and in every place in the Universe.

Until the end of life

is the unbreakable bond you promise and commit your heart to his

and fly as fast as the wind,

like the sound of the voice

that on the other side of the world echoes with the repeated, mutual,

I will love you until the end of my life.

 

I Asked The Sun

 

In the darkness of the night

urgent need for light,

inspiration is born from the ray of sunlight that penetrates the mind.

I asked the sun to lend me another long ray of its infinite, shining filaments, cosmic rays.

Generous, the sun,

gave me the gift of an unlimited number of gamma rays, enough to fit inside each other in a telescopic joint

to reach the windowpanes of your heart and,

tickle at dawn, giving you my special, luminous greeting.

Invincible Sun, symbol of strength and light that never fade.

Shamash also felt called here,

in his ancient, ever-present task, he brought light and warmth, and through his light, he still drives away darkness and evil.

 From the rays bestowed by the sun that have reached your heart, let us now together channel them into the universe so that they may be dispensers of justice and fairness, as they did in ancient times.
