AUTONOMOUS

 

Your eyes,

liberated region

 

I imprisoned

all eyes

in a walnut shell

 

Almond flowers

I brought it from the bird slope;

Summer rain, rainbow,

a tipsy cloud

 

Clad in silk

A road across continents

 

Open your eyes

Let the sunrise wind disperse

Let my eyes be in your eyes

May the day begin to rise.

 

 

SADNESS STATION


 

Yes, mister

Do not stay in silence

Tell us

Why wind does not blow

Why does not it take that dole?

 

There is something today

Something in today

Do you see mister?

Sadness rains from dreams.

 

Did we magnify

Does not it return

The ship that goes to unknown?

Sometimes words are not enough mister!

My heart is cistern from my tear.

 

 

PORTRAIT

 

Sun has touched her skin,

A lovely manner on her shape

 

Her hair!

Hands of sun on her hair,

Wind from blue water

 

Her eyes!

Sunset of the incoming evening,

Privacy of naked dreams

 

Her hands!

A scented of bay leaf

In the smoothness of blue waters

 

Her brows!

Violin bows, that inspires

Rain words from poetry.
