Love Magic

Love tenderness
love madness
love passion
I continue without pressure
your love is magic
I feel perfume,
I see flowers
love affairs have thousand flavors
I hear your name in the wind
in the sing of the birds
in the cry of the rivers
in the dark and cold nights
in full light of the day.
Time passes
love passion
love magic
I still keep your promise
come soon.

Poets'food

I find poetry in my life
In my smiles
In my tears
In my day to day sufferings
I find poetry in my sadnesses
Humiliations, disillusionments
I find poetry from the night badly slept
From my dreams badly dreamed,
Lost in the blackout of my life
I find poetry of what I could have lived
And I didn’t.
I find poetry from everything I have lost,
Of what I tried to give but I couldn’t
I find poetry from my soul,
from my viscera so that everybody
Can smile.
