WHAT SHALL WE DO IN HEAVEN?
What shall we do in heaven, land of love?
We shall live perfect life and love it much.
We shall meet those we loved and were so dear
and feed our missing hearts with that old love.

The universe is wide and consists of
the world of goodness versus what is vice.
We'll go to what is love and perfect peace
away from that of pressing swords and fear.

We shall revive the joyful times we spent
and complete those great moments on dear land.
We'll live again the joy we can't forget,
but with no fear to finish or to part.

The lord will be the Parent of us all,
Who will provide that lovely childhood house.
We'll live again what we loved as young kids
and recall what we lived as endless time.

PRAY IN ACTS AND WORDS.
Christ prayed in deeds when He His Father served,
and in words to ask for His private needs.
He is the Lord Who showed us how to pray
to earn the gifts His most high Father gives.

He came to glorify His Father's name
through that most painful way, and on the cross.
In words, He asked His Father in the sky
to shun the pain, then said, "Your will be done."

His Father in the sky looked at His deeds,
and found in them the prayers that He wished
as He'd sent Him to glorify His name
and all that in obedience was fulfilled.

Each one of us has got a task to do.
This is the prayer that we have to pray.
We may ask for some help; then, we use words.
What counts is our task , not what we say.

THE TWO MUST BE GREAT.
A person comes to life not of his will,
but forced by parents who entangle him.
Where is man's choice if from the start not asked,
but finds himself among his parents' hands?

This is his dawn and so is his dark set.
He may refuse to share in that weird trip.
Where is his freedom if from start to end
is pulled and pushed no hand he has in it?

I feel that God and parents can assure
the journey will suit man's frail flesh and soul.
The Lord and parents won't compel poor man
If his worlds are not fit and meet his choice.

He comes by force; his life must be so great.
Those who bring him must have all well prepared?
He's born on earth where home is well installed
and heaven is the throne of his great Lord.

BY GOD OR NATURE?
There is somthing inside man urging for love.
Does it start just by itself or that great Hand?
Do the poems that we read indite themselves
or the hands of poets build in them their rhymes?

Do the oceans and the seas, with lives in them
happen by sheer chance or made by skillful Hands?
Rocks and sand can't have been made just by themselves
as there is a sort of beauty in their art.

Creatures walking on the earth, male and female,
have the greatest love to those which pull their sight.
In this way, they have newborns to save their kinds
and keep them in constant state to stay alive.

I imagine that the Lord has placed in us
the emotions that we have as nature can't
make those feelings as its work depends on laws,
but the Lord depends on love as He is Love.

THE MONA LISA
Who can that most famous woman be?
She can be an aunt in her fifties,
or that woman we see in the street,
Posing with derision for her fate.

Life for her is not more than a trip,
in a boat whose rudder she can't reach.
Her small boat is sailing but to where?
No one knows; she hopes the end is fair.

She is dear to those who like her much.
She prepares for them their clothes and lunch.
They are sailing with her in that boat
not aware of what the future brings.

Her admirers see her eyes with them.
Wherever they stand, she looks and smirks
as they sail along the same old way
whether they are old or they are young.

WHAT IS LOVE?
You puzzle me. What are you, love?
You are a feeling in each cell
that attracts one to someone else,
wishing to give her all his life.

If he can give his soul he does
so that she can live longer age.
Her long life will give her a chance
to live long periods of delight.

When he sees her lips have a smile,
he closes his eyes on that sight.
When he hears laughter from her side,
he plugs his ears to keep that sound.

He does not care if she gives him
a thing to join with him his dream.
What he cares for is to see her
the happiest person in the world,

THE LOVE OF THE SOUL
They were too young; they scarcely passed their ten,
but when they saw each other, they turned red.
I feigned l did not notice what they showed
and left the room but kept an eye on them.

They saw l left the room, which made them glad.
They sat beside each other, and they smiled.
He stretched his hand to touch her little hand,
and she caught his and looked at his red face.

Their faces were so sweet, and their eyes joined
the purest rays that bound them in a stance
which made them one in person, so content,
quite unaware of what there was around.

In this elated state they remained long.
The soul of each has joined the other's soul.
They both could reach the heaven of deep love
so far from me when l entered their room.
