I Learned

I learned    

             that words

do not always mean

the essence you intend

the root of it.

I learned

             that do not contain

the value that indicates me

that wormed out resonates

off and empty.

And the gesture

               becomes

in boundless force,

in deep gaze,

In ignited caress.

And the silence

               recovers

the matter differently,

the clear consistency

of the simple truth.     

I Forget

How I wish to forget,

of all this cold mantle,

of all this grey yearning,

from the source of memories.

And finally, live life,

I'm seeking you and you're seeking me,

that you sense me, and I sense you.

That I want your strong lips

against mine, very tight,

and I want your calm voice,

hoarse, deep, silent.

And your tea-colored eyes,

that you deliver to me and I deliver to you.

To feel this way together,

together but effortlessly,

upon reaching your mystery,

mine for yours, lightened,

and reach a new being,

looking for my own encounter.

To give me to you ...

give you my hidden strength,

my silences, my loving.

Let you write the pages,

of this story that begins,

new season of life.

The Sleeping Voice

I'm sitting waiting

lying on the guitar,

who has it’s voice slumbering

that mine is quiet.

And my fingers don't roam

It’s strings looking for the echo,

of my sleeping sadness,

of my muted shouts,

of my love seeking

yours, from here ...

for you waiting,

translating me into words,

written, scribbled.

Born from there, my voice,

my desperate desire,

the grimace of my smile

to be waiting for you

quieting my new feeling

waiting for your reunion.

I am sitting, lying down

on the bedside,

my fingers won't search anymore

the feel of my guitar,

I will no longer feel your voice

break in a tune,

I will soon deliver my head

to sleep on my pillow

waiting slowly

your call in the morning ...
