Unknown sea
Let us dress our thoughts with words
to reveal our inner world
and quest further upon the crystal sea,
till the discovery of exotic sounds.
Let us undress our only fears
in an ancient unknown land
to rest our precious doubts
on the whiteness of light sandy grounds.
Let us adorn our minds with pure elements
to see the scampering clouds disappear
under the bluest sky, over the green blue
and through a heart of endless bounds.

I drank silence
I drank silence on the rocks.
Under the daylight I rest my cup,
where still waters shone in locks,
warm green trees as I looked up.
A sudden sound awakened my thoughts.
Colorful boats resting under the blue sky.
Memories tied through years of knots,
loosened by the silence of a human cry.
Poetic Tango
And poetry lingers
with a new essence.
It comes to life
moving slow and graceful steps,
at times following a sweet,
heart breaking melody,
at others cheerful and gentle.
It never lets go of the past,
yet lives its dreams in the present.
Poetic Tango grabs hold
of your body and mind
and blends them
in one everlasting verse.

Naples
No broken roads between us
Only you and me and no fuss
No shakin' on your playful ground
just a festive rumble, so safe and sound
Play your music round the town
I am standin' where hope is found
Gimmi nothin' but my way
Call my name and make me stay.
Naples you conquered that sun ray
and so joyfully mad my day.
Infinite beauty
There are pleasures that lie
within a woman's spirit
that grow and perfume
like springtime flowers.
They are secret and not ephemeral.
Within she can protect them.
She has no need to reveal their being.
Their only fresh essence
can be scented and cherished.
Such beauty lies within fertile grounds
and humanity cannot touch it.
Infinite and Love can only be so deep.

Grueling journey
A long travel without shelter
your steps were made of sin, I tell.
From afar no eyes on the sparrow,
good intentions paved the road to hell.
You treaded deeper into my being
and lost your way when light was dim.
Through my nature burdened with ill
your words croaked out like a bare limb.
Be Dawn
Look inside your heart
and awake like dawn,
softly and slowly
to enjoy its changing colors.
Rise and light up your life
and the lives of those you love.
Be light, be joy,
be your own happiness.
Be Dawn.

Dear Rose
Dear Rose,
Blossom through the sweetness of the morning dew
I cannot touch your softness, though I know you
Take my senses and do what you want of them
Your velvet dress is beauty shining on my pen
Droplets of water cascading on your Tango dress
dancing bubbles all over your body like a caress
Now my pen has thoughts hurriedly drifting
as I lovingly reach out to hope in a world of existing

Where happiness lies
Your hands collected
the tears of her thoughts
and sketched them out
while swapping reflections.
Images came about, though
so young were the souls
that they could not bear.
Thus, in time realization
made its way and such
unity, such familiarity,
such symbiosis could
not but help to make it's way.
Happiness lies within the
heart of giving.
Sorrow remains to
become the riches of living.

Perpetual Feelings
I live you for you shall never die
and I breathe you from the infinite.
I find my bed in the depths
where you take me with chivalry,
and no longer my eyes can see.
Gallant one, I still live you,
and still you escape death.
You don't perish, you don't die;
I still live you, and still, I live.
and I breathe you from the infinite.
