A lazy Saturday afternoon
sitting on the couch
feet on the ottoman
listening carelessly to lady friends
watching her preparing tea
snow flakes quiet dance

Something broke

Heard it the next morning
felt it, in my soul
and insatiable need to cry

When everything is blurred
faces unrecognizable
and you do not know
whom you love
anymore
write a poem

Oh, my sweetest dreams
do not, ever,
tell me
your worst fears,
or darkest nightmares

Did I,
Could I
appreciate
the purity
of your
tender souls ...

I close my eyes
and see myself
at your door
asking
if you fancy a beer

Kitchen is to the right
as I imagined

I sit by a small table
and watch your grace
moving around

A sip of beer ...
I close my eyes
feel your trace
and breathe you in

You are a tiny shadow
a silhouette
disappearing
on my horizon

I am weak
exhausted of heaviness
and longing for
a glance of light

In the depth of your eyes
I see the brown of an exhausted river
that once proudly filled its banks
I hear fishermen songs
as they sail contently
and I ask their ghosts
How do you sail back to your lovers
on the shores of a dried river?

A tear blossoms ...
