Illusion Of Shape

It is a waste of feelings
like a thread of light
by which are hanging the clouds in the grass
the instant in a flower
the astonishment of an absence
in a continuous floating
in this long wait
of a circle through the smoke in the mirror
the soft fever in the windows
slips through the thoughts
when the amazement of the acacia trees flows
on streets ragged by oblivion
when your voice rolls
in the wandering of the city
the loneliness of a field
burning in the poppies of the hour
the wandering of the letters in the butterflies
the vortex of a bottomless dimension
sheds on hands the pollen of death
an eyelid of silence over the world
and candles of leaves in the agony of the color
when you find yourself in the wandering shadows
in a telluric sleep
when the night roots chaotically grow
into an angel’s tear
an undefeated illusion of shape
gathers you dust in the struggle of a poem

The Equation Of Forgetting

An echo slipped through the fence of thoughts
is dragging the path of a winter
outlined in the armor of shadows,
crucified like a blind bird a dream
is bleeding pierced by a frozen silence
your footsteps engrave stars
on the same road where Ashaverus
lost in the iris of the sky
the sleep of an uncertain hour
you snatch yourself from mirrors
milled in the night rolling on your lips
the clocks of the city fell silent
lost in the twilight burning ghostly
under an eyelid of tears and sin,
insinuates itself the smile of the wax figures
into the equation of forgetting,
there are just words kneeling
on the shore of hope
asking the love for forgiveness.

The Words Are Burning

Shards of the trembling stars hit the face of the night
the fingers of darkness cast dusts of dreams
melancholy herbs are touching a transparent harp
in the wounded air breaks into tears a sadness
spinnings a bell of stars
and the roses, silky lips in love, are casting a kiss
on the forehead of the years in the blizzard of oblivion.
Light flashings of glass are struggling
under the living sole of the serpent
hiding its face in the rainbow,
the snow falls tediously over the country roads
wandered in the litany of a forever gone winter,
the cold in the eye strikes the hunger in the empty spaces,
the horizon carnival melts in the shadows of the stone trees,
farther and farther gets the fountain of the sun,
darkens the heart as it tries to breathe,
why does the silence in the word no longer find its ending,
why is the silence of the eye lost in the insomnia of a point...
I am thirsty for more light
and the window is closing in me and I am slipping
only my mouth releases the pain from the floor
and awakened I am by the voice of earth
hypnotically murmuring my name,
at night it is only flowing over a city of paper
my cry, a white sheet lights up
and the words are burning on a musical scale
unleashing the echo of a fallen sky.
