Bitter Joy

I must want a fictitious life

because I have not known how to give love

while time marches on

I find myself in darkness and silence

the inert spirit without a yawn

the air runs out, covering the light

It is the prison of the entrails

that eats me like cancer

it unstoppably removes my body

I sometimes wish to leave vaporless

do not respawn until completed

because this suffering is incessant

even if he has the smile...die!

and his limited breath...fades away!

and now there is only one sentence left

try to refocus what is broken

Even so I remain weak in total agony

waiting for the inhuman treachery

let it strike me down anyway

and be able to succumb...slowly, and in peace

It's not because I distrust destiny

rather I try to reach such a step

nor do I intend to cheer the joy

lies the disastrous mystery...it lives within!

I am a total slave to your insults

looking to find the miraculous key

to escape towards that divine tunnel

Otherwise, I will be your eternal giñapo

at the mercy of whippings, screams, and wounds

I even convince myself that all my life

I have been an indelible...bitter joy!

just seeing the bad guy cry... the madness laughs!

Velvet Mouth

You cover my body with your veil

you absorb my sleepless breath

you snuggle my insides when I dream

that at some point I can be yours.

Palate, soft, subtle

like the water that runs

freely on my skin

bathing her in honey

like a flower, innocent, fragile

that with a breeze cries rose petals

and undresses her

like a dew spreading its aroma

all over my bedroom

so as not to feel alone.

Your velvet mouth

you, fairy of fantasies

take me wherever you want

I want to know your world

where you live joy and peace.

You are everything I longed for

since your shadow was absent

because without feeling close

my sorrows weighed me down

without you comforting me.

You are mine, velvety mouth

because without your presence

I would drown in infinity

of my loneliness.

On The Shore

I look far to the horizon

feel the sea breeze bathe this being

How I long to be able to touch your skin!

that becomes so distant

lying in the sand, I want to be

I think when you will return

I may never feel you

like those days, when you leave

without there being a dismissal, just a who will say.

I caress the sky with my fingers

I try to remember what you were like

but, your absence minimizes such possibility

creating a deep void, that only you

you can fill.

Cruel has been fate!

I don't even have the way

Where does it take me to that nest?

that together we would have lived

and this agony, totally concluded.

On the shore, in this wide sea!

wanting to be able to love you

uncertain, in itself it has been

leaving all this love, forgotten.
