Warrior spirit
More time
and more true reason
neverending Story
ancient existence
scattered seeds
tired faces.
All is silence
I seek in me breaths
suspended moments
free breaths
unexplored frontiers
torn torments.
We are planets
distant lands
rebel comrades
invisible threads
swords of love
brothers and sisters.
I live by dancing
fighting and rejoicing
under the oak
of majestic enchantment
humble servant
quivering archer.
Roll the drum
the ground vibrates
decisive steps followed
the lost sea
of clouded minds
from imprinted torpor
in the noble soul
of motionless men.
Always ready smiles!
With the hands
earth dirty
sweat on the forehead
so tired and hungry
they were the little wonders
warrior hearts
the battles of many parents
of other times
great hard workers
tireless workers
safe havens for families
faces wrinkled by time
walk united in faith
hand in hand
of the companion.
The smell of warm bread
always on the table
those seeds never violated
the big love
locked up in pain
work under the sun
that stole from rest
a long time
but he honored
and gave dignity
they were the parents
calloused hands
than once
those ever ready smiles
to life and freedoms.
With the sky in your eyes
Who you love
don’t throw away love
rest in dreams
tell with every smile
with the sky in my eyes
every cherished sigh.
Who you love
lives in caresses
in the smallest gestures
laughs on the shores of days
and then the spell of madness
open your heart to love.
Sing life
Without the chains
they sing the word
and the truths in the veins
in this rebellious breath
where fate
he was never born
nor is darkness ever winter
even if the ways
they are poisons in thoughts.
Sea
which is not
never lost
deep inside the roots
place where the values
they have always been seeds
there they reign eternal
respect and freedom
every faith in life
stones and words.
Dignity
it is an oak tree
mighty
with a majestic crown
with branches stretched to the sky
leaves
songs in the heart
without constraints and burdens
the roots sink into history.
At the bottom of the sea
in the night
hopes
they sail on the tides
last trip
it never was
suspended
in the bowels of the soul
love is
eternal breath inside.
***
Freedoms fly away!
And meanwhile it’s raining
in the streets of the town
and slowly return
in their homes
tired from hard work
sweaty hands
rudderless hopes
humble fates in life.
Freedoms fly away
and dignity too
behind the windows in emptiness
and then tears fall into the dark
of these lives stolen from the stars
under this black sky
wounded by rage in the flesh
they die in hearts in silence.
with earth.

Dirty
The face
always rough
soiled hands
in the eyes
the light of memories
face streaked with fatigue
farmer at heart
and in life.
You come
still from afar
and inside this dress
dirt from stones
get out of the grooves
you wear
the smell of the ears
and some seeds
greatest novel of life
The Roses again
Again the sea and poetry
in the blood and in the heart
in this crazy desire
love that screams louder
black or white is never grey.
It’s love
the greatest novel of life
always young never tired
eternally in love with madness
a little out of my mind
king of life and heart.
Love and its smell
his words and his every reason
this rebellious heart
that doesn’t stay in the skin
lives and dances with its waves
disappears in the dark of night.

The power of poetry
Vibrate in the chest
scream in blood
the verses are the words
it’s the breaths sometimes
other times instead
they are sharp knives
it is poetry
the true power of poetry
storm inside the blood.
It’s not a game
it is never an empty story
she is always the poem
the words of the soul
the face of human life
love next to thorns
the wind whistling in the sky
daughter of the heart.
Good life!
I lose myself in you
sincere eyes
close hearts
united souls.
I taste skies
I live memories
I always see
fires lit.
Good life
infinite existence
serene joys
lived world.
Horizons revealed
overflowing rivers
welded bonds
shared paths.
Good life!
Hymn to life!
You don’t hear the bells
they ring to life
to the rising sun
whereupon he wakes up
to the love that never dies.
It is an ode to life
it is the rebel wind
that doesn’t stop living
it is freedom
it is the need for love in the world.
Today is the beginning of the madness
like a sweeping wave
happy takes away all doubts
it is the truth not forgotten
the veil without the tears.
The power of poetry
it is the heart of a child
the soul of Peace
a kingdom of Faith
the voices of the Heart.
Life!
Life
life
life
who are you?
Life who kidnapped you
what happened
of the truth
why don’t you give up
life lived
who pushes your days
what do you think about the world.
Ohhh levees of the wind
before dawn it whistles
muffled
this lament
then after the pain
the doors open
and everything clears up.
Life you are amazing
now that I’ve met you
I love you
I crave you madly
my life
sorry if I didn’t believe you
your sufferings
wounds were inflicted
at the window of my heart.
Ohhhhhhhhh life
life life life
rebellious life
loved life
fearless life
you are my blood
you are my flesh
you are always my poems.
The infinite sky of poetry
We are the islands
of life
in this vast
immense
blue sea
in every breath
we souls
like shipwrecked
we drown
in our hearts
and in the endless sky
of poetry.
Sea inside
Oh great
life
what about you
you donated
gentle harmony
welcome perfumes.
Silent wake
you wrote in me
courteous sunrises
happy paths
inspiring muse
kind sister
I welcome in me
nature and stars.
It breathes in me
air and earth
soul yearnings
invisible substances
impalpable forces.
Oh sea
beloved sea
blue carpet
dreamed friend
you gave love
you emptied
my words.
Majestic companion
keeper
of hidden treasures
always fill
with the
your music
born of strength
imposing
of the
rough waves
my heart
castaway
Light
Turn on the stars
I bridged the distances
I wrote poems
I met true art.
I emptied selfishness
I filled the emotions
I climbed my beliefs
I kissed the choices.
I lived on light
I met the souls
I nourished consciences
I lit up the spirits.
Defeated the uncertainties
I breathed sensations
i loved life
I sculpted existence.
Everyday
Raise the chant
welcome the wind
breathe sounds
live seasons.
Choose ways
travel the skies
sing arias
love so much.
Do embroideries
give love
honor man
always bless.
Steal stars
digs sea
surf the wave
fluctuate tide.
Reborn soul
immerse spirit
flow time
fly life.
