Present Tense

 

They were vital alternating moments

sometimes in the place a few granted

beyond heaven in the sky reflections

thanks and virtues essential gifts.

 

From the corner where the highest peak touched

a handful of stars and diamonds

the daring to throw down craggy clouds

despite being your beloved woman.

 

Those moments that cross the eternal

with just the thought you have scratched your skin

healed in the disfigured cry of the stars

bleeding like the moon their pivot.

 

Inexorable time passes and transforms

the exterior may look better

inside more often he suffers for love

stitches and patches does not carve and embroiders.

 

It is of a sweet woman and a deep secret

not even the look must betray the truth

happiness would be too expensive

accept to cover empty glad

 

without numbing the spherical waters

produced by the thrown boulder

gigantic is in the consumed heart

will they be tragedies or happy historical tidings !?

 

Who Gives You Flowers

"Anyone can give you flowers, but only those who can prune your thorns, moisten your petals and water you in the summer will make you blossom."

Ruben Lubo

 

Your hands are full of bloody scratches

hidden among red rose petals mixed aroma

of just measure known resemblance to Christ

they look at the sky and tears become tears.

 

Water of light at the rising source

only you know sweetness to mitigate

excruciating or mild pain lets go

hugs and caresses your powerful weapon.

 

You know the right dose that varies every day

no more and no less is what hurts

only presence is always the same

he already perceives himself as a healer around him.

 

Drop carried by the wind is pure attention

gives vital energy, breath to the essence

forgiveness is never procuring absence

the spirit burns, alcoholic passion hovers.

 

With the thought the humid breath is renewed

refreshing food of the sultry summer

with you alone it blossoms marvelously

woman with exact dose of water is reborn.

 

And the rounded thorns to fill the void

of a past time that never returns

while quills of carved diamonds adorned

with queen crown in the clouds swimming.

 

You Are Pure Magic ... Pure Love

 

I dreamed of admiring a fantastic home

where young woman in that direction

to finally seek great passion

among the green of nature I found it now.

 

In the center of the earth, beyond the ocean,

in the underground crossing of roots

womb of sporadic encounters,

of fallen stars that yearn for it.

 

Special amalgam of subtle purity

prolonged repetition of the magic

curiosity that moves being reluctant

to remain curly in closed beauty.

 

Shy approaches, hesitant

thinking of knocking on the door,

butterflies and magone in the stomach

signs of an important event.

 

Perhaps he enters a home temple

ignores probable choice of his prison

it will be caged like a lion

which hides a secret of love and friend.
