Have you ever experienced poetry
Not as words disposed in verses
But as birds worshipped with nerves
And observed in their soft flight
Across dark skies during night?
Have you ever felt a full moon?
A bright square star full of shine
That feeds your soul while it croons
The softiest song of all the world
With notes that borns tight and dies curled...?

Farewell
Farewell! if ever fondest prayer
For other's weal availed on high,
Mine will not all be lost in air,
But waft thy name beyond the sky.
'Twere vain to speak, to weep, to sigh:
Oh! more than tears of blood can tell,
When wrung from guilt's expiring eye,
Are in that word - Farewell! - Farewell!
These lips are mute, these eyes are dry;
But in my breast and in my brain,
Awake the pangs that pass not by,
The thought that ne'er shall sleep again.
My soul nor deigns nor dares complain,
Though grief and passion there rebel:
I only know we loved in vain -
I only feel - Farewell! - Farewell!
Lord Byron.

Sculpture bidimensional
The image sculptor stood by the road
holding his chisel and looking around
trying to find something worthy
of his divine efforts.
The dawn approached
stealing our luxuries
and Babylon was slowly sliding
from the face of the earth.
This man all by himself
can give divine birth
and make eternal
the cigar I smoke.
Light into stone,
shadows and colors,
nothing can escape from the touch
of the sculptor.

Whisper of Bliss
or Whiskey’s Kiss
Sink into my arms
and maybe we’ll find
the way to a place
where sleepy stars
twinkle, laugh and shine
in amusement and grace.
We ought to gather
our heads tonight
and go together
into day’s delight.
Rest over my chest,
oh, sad sweet angel,
‘cause resting we’ll fly
over the cypress,
towards the rainbow
that lies in the sky.
In sunset, again,
when light leaves the coast,
put your head against
my chest and sink the most.

American Girl
to A. Lane
There’s nothing I can do better
than die in your arms.
Seas of bright juice murmuring
far away – outside your window.
The day breaks.
It’s a glorious dawn.
Two emeralds shine over me
and a tender song
hovers above us.
You light a match
and spread pride like the goddess
of the sacred fire
of ancient love.
Maybe I shall do a sacrifice
to Venus
in the altar of Jove.
There’s incense all over the place.
I can’t see, but I sense
that this one is my dying day.
Strange… I’m free from fear.
Shaking hands with Death,
in menstruation blood I bath
and I fill in forms of resurrection
(I’m not free from forms,
but that’s ok – I’ve plenty of time
since I only ought to die today).
I construct obelisks
in the Fields of Life
in honor of Noble tasks.
And, please, unscrew the locks
from the doors of your heart
and provide me some xXx!
Is this the wasted land?
If so, why do I see flowers
and tall trees, and green tea
(green tea as green as dollars),
and high hopes even taller?
If this is the wasted land,
where does this scent come from?
And how can my life go on?
Death calls me
and I gotta go,
but I supplicate for
one more second…
And then I ask you:
can I come…
to your arms, as pale as ice?
to your legs, once and twice?
in your breast?
in your face?
in your warm sweet mouth?
in
all over the place?
can I?
there’s nothing I can do better
than die in your arms.
