Miserly You Will Go
A shivering
homeless guard his cardboard
as a precious
bed
but if his
friend stretches out limbs on the ground
he gives it to
him.
And you that
hold riches, feelings
if you still
have…
Possessions to embrace
in your emptiness
soul vault
you will feel no
need to share
in the stingy
righteousness of your barren logic.
Than, to give
others a piece
of you
it would be too
human and unbecoming
Poor man…
Within your
lonely and rich walls
of velvets and
candelabra
there is no
light to shine, not even for you
alone.
And when your
last step yields to the
Divine world
Your memorabilia
will remain between the worms of time
to wear out…
And no one will
mourn a foolish loneliness
of a golden
trench
but so shabby
and useless.
Miser you will
go to meet the ways
Of the beyond.
Sunflowers Of Lights
Sunflowers of
light
I saw a field of
sunflowers
under the
immensity of blue skies.
Soon the sun
will warm them
until they burn
but the splendor
will quench their thirst
at sunset...
They will be
alive
and harbingers
of the colors of gold
of life which,
in spite of everything
luxuriant
unfolds
on our smiles.
They are
sunflowers of light
keepers of our
steps.
Love For Life
Love for life
it's a window
always lit
in the colder
dark of nights.
It’s a sweet
stillness always
evolving…
The lighthouse
of our consciences.
And the sweet
murmur of waters
now calm still
lying on the moist
salt sand
then they crash
on rocks naked
violently.
And I immerse my
heart in this symbiosis
that keeps me
still throbbing…
Ditched to the
invisible wire…
It always held
my breath.
This is my love
for life!
