Behind every memory
there is a shadow

His Cold Heart and December
His cold heart and December
His eyes and hair,
As I remember, Burned amber

A story started on September
His heart was warm, Mine is ember
Two years, As far as I remember


He was a perfect pretender,
He stabbed me the next November
A morning fog of cold December


I believed, That's why,
I wasn't a pretender

That's why,
I bleed as far as I remember

That's why,
He's cold as every December

That's why,
I've got a roaring flame in my ember

Humanity Failing
On the shallow beach
Your body was floating
Cold, Quiet
Eyes open, looking for hope
In humanity, that is lost
The pictures of the kids floating dead after drowning trying to reach Europe still haunts me. I wonder which is better, to die under the rubble of your home, starvation or drowning!

Waiting for sleep
Waiting for sleep
is like jumping from a window
you keep falling
all your life plays in your mind
and you don't know
when you hit the ground

In the night
I open a window
in my pillow ...

Alone With Sleep
Sitting alone with sleep
He's looking, He's a beast
He's there without shade
And I'm here not afraid

Beast! Come eat my eyes
Don’t let me see the skies
Maybe I'll never weep
And I'll accept you, Sleep!

sun kissed
In the end
         I couldn't
                just ignore
       how the sun

Ocean of passion
ocean of passion profound
between me and you
my heart drifts
and my words drown

...slowly

reality and imagination blur
deep down there
silence sounds like a prayer
and seconds seize to occur

Incomplete Painting
in the corner of my room
lies there in gloom
a canvas, a mirror
of my loneliness terror

incomplete tile
with neat smile
a face of angel
on white rectangle

my beloved painting
you are feigning.
did you miss my brush
with incomplete plush?

I miss you every day
my imaginations play
when I complete you
what shall I do?

shall I look at you again?
shall I feel the same pain?
or a vivid memory
shall release my agony

will you miss my touch
or shall I miss you much?
the bond between me and you
is the only thing which is true

my beloved elf
a part of myself
incomplete feeling
colors of my healing

shall I stand through
in front of you?!
will I complete you?
or you will complete me?

a walk to work
Spring morning
23 degrees
7:13 AM
heavenly breeze
a walk to work
smell of ochre trees
flowers
grass
wet dirt;
birds dancing
singing
cold sunshine
touching my skin
...
Goodmorning barista
primo decaf, please
the girl wiping the floor
smiles, good morning sir
...on the bench
eyes closed
inhale, listen , smile
weird pose
the moment freezes
a sip of coffee
plays back memories
...
beep, beep, beep
health watch:

line in the sand
I will keep setting my loved ones free
Not expecting them to come back to me
"If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were." Unknown

LOST...!
In the desert of thoughts
   the air is hot,
                       (my heart is cold)

The scent of flowers ...
                          (everywhere) there is nothing ...

I watch the stars..
    I wonder about ..
                what made me fall…
                              (from the sky)

I wander...
           the world.. colored ...
                                        (from artery to vein)


I close my eyes ...
                        (I see ..)

I sleep …
   (maybe)
     I dream…
            (Siren sings a name)
....



I look into faces…
      house of mirrors..
            (reflecting my face)

I lost my mind..
Swept by a tide,
     a trace..!
           the one I sought to embrace ..
(Mirage, fog and unknown place)

my thoughts ...
                                   (paralyzed)
       in my mind …
                     (shadows …)

(purity; the spirit of the fragrance)
(Morning; love in the day)
(Essence of roses)
(lost lighthouse guides wanderers…)
(hearts of people each evening
          morning .. !
                           evening … !
          morning …. !
                          evening….. !
                                                 ………………)
My mind is gone …!



the pillars of my poems are shaken ...
                       (what is there … ?)
An empty wreckage
           full of memories
                           treasures
                                 (and layers of dust…)

                                   An empty message
                                        (with bones,
                                              ashes
                                         and remains)

*“your heart still the same”
               “burns in flames”
                                    “beats in
                                               eternal pain…”

Nightly whisper,
I nightly whisper to stars
showing them my heart
they glitter
the moon overhears us
feels jealous
I keep on teasing him
till the night
washes out

Endless Dream
my heart beat is calm
for the first moment in time

is it a spell in a magical tile?
or the lasting trace of your smile

maybe an illusion as it seems
or another beautiful dream

as pure as the sunshine scene
like you, my beautiful queen

I think it's another endless dream
creo que esto otro sueño sin fin

Everything to lose
I had nothing to lose
Till I met you
I have everything to lose
Sometimes you meet someone, and you have the whole world

Just a matter of time
When you think he's dead
he rises from his ashes
Like white winter
conceals life in death

She is ...
she is the north wind
carries rain,
clouds and fog
then turns to spring breeze
filled with fragrance
and rose petals

she sits on the clouds' shoulder
weaving songs from sun-rays
the sky dances on her tones
she smiles and the stars melt

moonlight,  In her sweet slumber
winter's sun, once awoken
she shines and I feel warmth
she is my princess and my queen

I tell stories about her
sweet fairy-tales
I'm a crazy man
so wrong am I?
every day,
she is a different story
and I, a different lover

Because,
she is my wind
she blows from east,
and from west
through my tree
all around me

and sometimes
she stands still
in complete silence
my heart stops
a moment passes, a decade
till the spring breeze comes
she sits there, again
on the clouds
singing her song
blissfully ignorant

Painful Tear
My life will fade and disappear
with memories, I still hear
from my core; crystal clear
bringing back loneliness fear

Shall we meet again, my dear!
and my name, shall I hear?
or death just stole you
and gave back this painful tear!

About Her....
When I think about her
my precious pearl 
Her name is...
crystal pure 
Her smile...
my simple cure 
Her presence...
within my soul 
I keep on thinking
for a while...

Love after Death
She walks and stands
where he now resides
with a rose in hand
their eyes collide

in her eyes, his world
where time is on-hold

his tongue freezes
a chilling breeze
everything is stopped
like a broken clock

heart starts to beat
with a rhythm they never heard

moments slip away
He wishes her not to leave, this day
BUT she does, silently
his heart turns back cold, and grey

the air is thick,
breathing is hard
And darkness starts to slide
while light starts to hide

and he is again blind
lonely with that rose, left behind

He misses her so bad
but why is he so sad?
it's unfair?!
days  pass, without her near?!

He loses the desire, for everything
He wants again to be nothing

waiting for her to come back
Now or later, but intact
maybe he still has hope
deep down he knows it’s weak

He realizes the truth he seeks
and his cold heart speaks

To tell a story of a stone pile
That came to life for a while
Only to turn back to a lifeless pile
Sometimes we need to let it go...
Sometimes death is just the start
and between life and death, there is always another world

my pain
Sometimes when its about to rain
I glimpse the source of my pain
'I love you'
Aloud, in my secret or through my scream

The truth
I lost myself when I was looking
for myself...
I ran away...
Tried to escape...
Being trapped between me
and myself...
till he looked in the mirror
and I saw the truth!
