FLASHES AND SHADOWS

I will find you

Far beyond history

Where the zephyr

Is concealed and surfaces,

Where immersed poems

Flashes and shadows;

The tongue goes back

To the ocular sound

Of swinging words

Around the stems

Of your rivers.

Autumn leaves awaiting

For the rumbling night,

Postponed silences

Singing.

Shy hours leaving

Frizzed cracks in the mud,

Like airily stars.

Inert prayers

Flowing unnamed

And confined to the wind,

Versed in the glare

Of your pupils.

TRANSLATED BY:  ALARIC GUTIERREZ

ONLY LOVE WILL PREVAIL

Only love will prevail

When nothing is left

When memory fades away

As the dust scattered

On the wind.

Only my words will speak

Of this love

That will leave a mark

In silence,

To posterity

To other times.

When my simple name

Be erased over time

And the words remain

In withered leaves.

My love for you will prevail

In your skin of verse,

In your skin of rhyme,

On your prose skin ...

Forever and beyond.

TAKE ME IN YOUR SILENCES

Many sighs in tears

Takes the time.

I don´t want the wind

Disperse your breath,

Neither the verses

That ignite my kisses,

Making of your body

The green ink

Of my whole poetry!

With the moon

Reflected on your back

So smooth,

So pure,

So mine!

Just take me

In your silences!

Today I will keep

All my dreams,

Tomorrow

My soul will take

Your memories,

Just waiting

For the moment

To embrace you

Again.
