He is King

He is king, he admires .

He is adorable,

He is charming like a flower charm,

He is the sweetest evergreen.

He is a rock,

Everything is folk.

Everything is clear,

You are a color.

You are my king,

You are prince,

I love you every moment,

I notice your every movement.

Your look, your dance, your talking,

Your walking,

Everything is attractive to me.

I like your passion,

Your are my hero,

Life is a rainbow.

PILLOW

Accomplice of vehement thoughts.

Burning in moments of passion.

A burning heat that bites at the temples.

Softness that displaces my anxiety.

It muffles a breathed cry.

It returns with texture another relief.

It excuses torrents of hostility.

It reflects visions difficult to find.

And at dawn, sunk

Bearing the weight of so much sorrow.

You rest, ready to receive other hours.

And to give peace: dreaming and dreaming.

TRAITS OF LIFE

A specific story is found in them.

Wrinkles are scars

Of many disappointments and pain.

They are marks of memories.

Of a difficult moment.

Of a past deeply damaged

By the passage of time.

A scar is a mark

That holds no beauty.

Scars that have the power

of a memory are there.

But they no longer hurt.

They are a reminder of a healing process.

It is the way time finds

to repair every wound that sadness has caused.

BUILDING PEACE 

How many great and small wars

does human history record!

So much bloodshed,

so much violence.

In the age of communication,

we live increasingly isolated,

and peace is a slogan

of advertising.

We have emptied the word of meaning,

and it is offered as a refuge

to the disoriented

of man

by drugs, sex, mysticism,

technology, or political ideology.

But true PEACE

that unites us in diversity,

that integrates us in solidarity,

that impels us

to understand and forgive,

and invites us to brotherhood,

is the peace that is built day by day

in the heart of the home,

in schools, at work,

in art and recreation.

Peace of joined hands.

Peace of love and truth.

Peace to choose freely.

Peace to grow old with dignity.

Let us pray for a humanity at peace.

I loved you…

I loved you…

I loved you madly and passionately…

You drank my kisses

With your malicious mouth

You broke my bones

With embraces disguised as passion…

You took my heart in your hands

You wounded it, you dressed it in betrayal…

You buried my corpse

In absolute darkness

Of lies and depression…

I loved you

I gave you everything

You couldn’t hold back

You know nothing of love…

Your lies

Your entanglements

Will only bring you loneliness,

regret and pain…

A Poem About War

War doesn’t come with a song

nor with the steps of a parade.

It slips in quietly,

like a shadow behind a closed door.

The land becomes a number.

A man becomes a dot.

A name disappears in a report.

In the evening, the wind brings smoke

and sounds that don’t belong to the night.

It’s not only the child who cries—

the house cries, the river cries,

the walls cry, trained to remember.

The sky watches,

but does not intervene.

In the trenches, there is no justice,

no questions.

Only orders,

and silence after the explosion.

Some write history,

others lie beneath it.

War does not ask who you are,

nor what you dreamed of.

It erases everything that resembles a human,

and leaves an empty space

where a heart used to be.

Resurrecting in My Letters 

In the arid desert of my soul,

where the sun burned away the last hope,

and thirst carved deep wounds,

lay an echo of my former calm.

The shadows were night crows,

pecking at frayed dreams,

and the heart, a broken clock,

ticking away hours of a time long gone.

But in the secret crucible of my mind,

where ideas are smoldering embers,

I found the alchemy of the word,

the pure gold that my being reverses.

Each letter, a star seed,

germinating in the garden of silence,

each verse, a river flowing intensely,

washing away debris, healing the wound.

My letters are beacons in the dense fog,

maps to a treasure I thought was lost,

the master key to an ancient labyrinth,

the compass that guides my existence.

In each stanza, a phoenix in flight,

in each line, a constant rebirth,

the broken chrysalis, the being ahead,

I resurrect in my letters, I am persistence.

I am no longer the shadow of a gloomy yesterday,

but the rainbow after the storm,

the melody that defies silence,

the soul that blooms in the depths of summer.

My words are my shield and my spear,

the battle cry against apathy,

the irrefutable proof of my daring,

the life that resurfaces, dances, and advances.
