sorrow's tears
burn the heart
with pain
the loss of a loved one
is saddening
in its rain
the shedding of tears
the saying goodbye
ever stains
the grieving ones
eyes
a non trending poem
is a poem out of fashion
so many of one's poems
have no trending capabilities
those behind the scenes
who determine what will and won't trend
keep telling one that one's poems
aren't in fashion
the old hat stuff
doesn't cut it with them
last Friday night my footy team
got a good trouncing
the thirteen chaps all need
a measure of bouncing

penalty after penalty
they permitted the other side
it was a sure sign that my team
were well out of stride

one suspects the chaps
weren't on the same boat
none of their passes or tackling
was bound to keep them afloat

twas disappointing
to witness such awful play
for eighty long minutes it continued
with a lack luster display

there was so much ball
fumbled and lost by the chaps
which didn't much enhance
a win landing in their laps

at my sides next outing
on the footy ground
they'll be requiring a game
which is more sound

this passionate devotee
of rugby league
did sense in her team
some evidence of fatigue

the weeks ahead will be glumly
unless they improve
for their game has not been
in a successful groove
her face effusively shone
in the serene bush recess
owls and possums enjoyed
her resplendent glow

my heart beats for you,
each pulse calls your name
and as my blood courses through my body
craving you,
i cant deny myself
but to love you.

You're an endless field,
and I'm lost.
In the way you smile,
In the way you laugh,
I'm lost,
In you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm deaf,
I don't hear anything.

I feel like
I'm floating.

Sometimes I don't see
bad things.
I only see
what makes me happy.

I see my dog
wagging his tail,
I see my brothers
laughing as if the world ended
and I laugh too because their laugh
make me feel special,
I see my parents drinking coffee
asking each other how was their day,
I see my grandfathers and all the stories
they told me,
I see my cats playing and running
around house.
I see all the things that I 've been doing
and I feel happy.

I have this feel
in my chest
that tells me that all my problems
have solutions.

Sometimes I don't see
bad things.
I only see
what makes me happy.

I feel  hope.
And that makes me happy.

Sky
I like to watch the sky,
I love the way it
connects everybody.

Specially at night,
when a millions of
little lights shine
around me.

I watch everything
and a thousands of questions
come to my mind.

I'm so lucky
to be alive.

The sky connect
the whole world.

We can be watching the
same star,
even though we are miles
away from each other.

Sometimes
I can't believe how much
I love to be alive, to be able
to do the things I want to do.

When I'm sad,
I look the sky and
I don't feel alone,
I feel that
all these little lights
involve me and give me
peace.

The sky is that place
when I can rest my mind.

Because when I look the sky,
I feel infinite.
