Memories


Our love mixes with seaweed,

a sweet memory,

sprinkled with salt. It grows

between the breeze

and the hurricane,

the fruit of an inner struggle.

 

The green waves crash

in a murmur that

cools the warm and

ancient sand; limits; perception.

New tides of change

cast our minds back;

the courage to exist.

In the space between

ancientness and nowness,

our perfect love is eternal,

a song for a dance,

an invisible one, and

a wave-like movement

on the shores of our hearts.

We can feel our holy angels,

wounded wings,

echoes of a distant cry.

In every salty breath, a prayer

and a promise.

Between freedom and serfdom,

we fathom our dodecahedral geodesic,

spiritual sphere out.

The reality is circumjacent;

contiguous eyesight.

The voice of God becomes an echo

to inhabit the twilight world.

 



Mirrored Nonet for Flamenco Dance

 

A juerga with flamenco guitars

with fire flames blooming like flowers,

folks dancing in the moonlight

the dance of wounded souls,

vibrant red dresses,

white shirts like birds,

falling shawls,

dancers,

sky, 


claps,

cubic

movements of

color, music's

seeds, hands being wings,

shadows on the white wall,

from soul detaching passion,

lights, motion vibrating the strings,

resonance for a new dimension.

 


 

Complains about the Wind

 

The biting wind dances with 

the flickering flame,

in a frigid rain 

with tears that numb

the tender buds before they awaken.

With fervent gusts, the wind exhales softly,

caressing the timeless, cool grass,

in a sunless decline, 

increasingly stirring the strife

of the garden's tale. 

His veiled torment

always descends from the hilltop, while

he unravels his lips, his mouth,

that kind of mouth 

resembling a cavern where echoes reside.

His sorrow flows, 

untangling words that nobody knows 

like those prayers to the void.

Swaying his visage with the willow trees,

he wildly rides the swelling clouds,

belting out his tempestuous, 

thunderous songs,

striving to voice his selfish desires,

his dreams, and 

the fleeting chances of tomorrow.
