Let it go
Have you seen how the raindrops cling to the moist leaves after the storm has passed? Its almost as if they were afraid of the awaiting grass... As if they knew they would be no more once they fell. Maybe their melting into the ground below, though their destiny, is their hell. Have you felt when you are with who you feel is your love that you must cling to them for ever more? Almost as if you were afraid that if they left, if they broke free of your embrace there would be for you no place no...

Dancing around the fire.
A butterfly danced around a fire on a moonless night admiring the hypnotic brightness of its flame, the warmth she felt as she came near made her feel good about herself and she put aside her instinctive fear as she caught her reflection in the deep puddles summer rains had left on the floor the night before. She loved the way her wings sparkled in the brightness of that fire's glow she knew she should leave but she did not want to go she wanted more of it...she wanted it so, and with every...

Once
Once I felt a sweet warmth, a strange sadness reading a poem a friend wrote about love. His words were not about me just about her, who he loved so but that did not matter to my soul the true sadness in his verse reached its core, so my soul told my heart to stop and listen and my imagination made those words my own. Through the months I listen to his heart pour out in rich verses, enigmatic riddles and in his words, veiled and hidden well I caught glimpses of his nightmares the deep sadness,...

all alone
I lay on my bed, You are no longer there and yet I feel you so near. Somehow it just seems so unfair. My body trembles just to imagine your touch, the way you used to stare when you wanted me so much and I hear your voice, sweetly saying my name, like a chant, like a prayer, I have looked out my window many nights and seen only white, white and the darkness of a cold winter's night, Now I look out and see luscious greens trees that dance to a sea inspired wind that makes the flowers sway and...

Goodbye
Goodbye... to her, to everything, for she had been all. Again alone... without the thought of her, his love.. They talked and tears were shed in vane What had gone wrong? what had they done? there's so much pain inside their words She tells him is not too late to dream but her sweet voice is not the same lies grow and grow amidst the pain she says she loves him but he knows its just her heart being what it is that can not see him cry like this. For in reality they have both known for a while...

The Woman
Her life she gave to others and forgot to become the woman that as a girl she dreamed she would be. Days passed fast and busy, leaving her heart numb. and like the waves that run their course in the sea looking, searching for the shore that will give them what they seek, she followed her path routinely, raising children, always giving forgetting to take the time she needed for dreaming. First there were little babies, wet, hungry and cute, the house, the dog, the husband, all needed her so,...

The gypsy
The fingers of time had left on his face trails where tears had consoled his pain. His white hair contrasted the dark of his skin... on his lips, many smiles had left their sweet taste and his eyes, transparent and blue, shined bright through the haze of thousands of memories of things unexplained. His fingers caressed of his violin the strings, and the bow played his feelings, tracing the outlines of long ago dreams,` dreams important to him, that never came true, There was sadness in his...

Dad
Dad When I was little you were all, all I needed in my life to feel nice and safe, safe from that world that seemed so big, so big and scary to a little girl like me. You were so wise and big and s strong, strong enough to scare away my fears, silly fears that at night sometimes, just sometimes, when you were not near, turned into sad and lonely tears, tears that always dried up when you gave me a kiss, a sweet kiss, just before I went to dream, and that made me feel warm and safe, a kiss that...

Thank you Papi.
Sitting by the sea thinking of where I grew up my thoughts naturally went to you my father, my rock, and I wondered... looking at the waves leaving in the sand their trace... Would I do what you did if I were in your place? Would I leave what I know without knowing what I'd face? I would like to think I would, but how could I be sure I would do what you did for me, just so I could think and pray, just so I could grow up free?. I want to thank you Papi for loving me, for bringing me here far away...

Wishing is silly...Life is what we have
A golden cage sits by a window inside a red brick house that stands alone among the trees growing in the inlet by the road. Its gilded roof shimmers in the light of a sun that peeks through a cloudy crying sky. In the cage, surrounded by bars adorned by precious stones, a lonely bird stands on an elaborate swing made out of gold. There is food everywhere and treats galore, and a tinny silver bell for her to ring if she should want more. The bird is silent...just looking through the glass of the...

Angel with the tattered wings.
N ext to the doorway to nowhere where things that frighten us dwell a golden beautiful angel sits resting from her trip to hell Arms crossed, stiff back, in her face...an undefined smile, sad for what she's seen, happy because she is there, her cut out jeans the only clue of what she was before she died. Behind her hides a horse, noble animal, picture of strength perhaps her guardian spirit while on earth still watching over her...a true friend. Someone or something broke her wings back when...

Last night's dream.
A dream came to me last night, a dream that I did not ask for, a dream of things that cannot be but yet, were sweet. My mind did not bring me last night to that old familiar place but to new and tender, exciting thoughts of deep blue eyes on a nice face and lips that I would love to trace softly and deliberately with mine. Strange thing this amazing dream so out of the blue and yet...so good Am I to be blamed for all of these when I did not ask for that dream? Am I innocent of all those naughty...

I am drunk
I am drunk, I drank too much I drank to ease the pain, the deep pain of knowing you were gone See, I tried to run away from all, from this place that is so you, from the memory of how it used to be, the memory of what is no more and there I was, hypnotized by the song of the wind of an opaque moonless night, the smoke from my lonely breath twisting aimlessly amidst the rain softly caressing and kissing my pale face as you once did, drawing my forlorn gaze to a semblance of a smile, reading...

A day in the sun
P leasure boats filled with people going nowhere cruising the blue green waters of a calm summer sea, the rumble of their motors drowning the endless murmur of the waves that softly rush the soft sandy beach, where scattered about, like casualties of an epic battle a multitude of bodies lie still under the blasting heat, sweating, melting, eagerly soaking in the rays of a punishing sun, finding pleasure in the burning of their skin. They splash lotion on to ward off the pain, wear glasses to...

Ca.
M aking my way through the canyon going towards the bay on a narrow, twisted road. Tall mountains on either side sprinkled with yellow wild flowers that take my breath away. Small patches of green cover the rocks here and there, contrasting with the tones of red of desert roses everywhere. No big trees to obscure the view of a sky unbelievably blue, adorned with all kinds of colors by a sun bidding good night, while submerging in the bay waters and making them shine so bright. The beauty of it...

I am sorry.
I t is so sad... when because of words misspoken, in a moment when life's tensions to us had gotten, a friendship that could have been beautiful lays there, broken. I am so sorry, I truly am, if what I said hurt you in any way and I would do anything to make things right if I only knew what I could say Please know that it tears me apart to think that what could have been a great beginning, was not. I thank you for the words you wrote, they touched my heart, To know that you understand really...

My Angel
My Angel, that's what you were pure and untouched innocent and loved. You came to me when I needed you most, and showed me the way when I was so lost. Gently you guided me through a maze of pain. You taught me there was a sun even behind the rain, and in the darkness of night, when I was sad and afraid, you said the wind was your voice, the thunder your promise to stay, and the lightning illuminating the sky... just your kisses flying by You showed me how to find a star that would shine only for...

If I could
if I could... I would take the colors of the sunset and draw in the sky a brand new world tailored to you and to your needs, where cat's claws stayed always curled and your thoughts would all be sweet. There would be no nightmares in your world no long weeks of work, no fatigue, absolutely no suffering, for pain would not exist, Hunger would not be a word because no one would know what it meant. Sickness, totally non existent, children would run, laugh and play and bad memories would not be...

It rains
I t rains... big warm drops fall from dark and angry clouds, the wind picks up; and everything flies around, for the sun has hidden cowardly and abandoned the sky to the thunder and lighting of the invading storm. I am getting wet so I start to run, I look for shelter, but there is none, no where to go, I am all alone The water drenches me so I stop What can I do, the rain has won I walk slowly now and look up to the gray sky that cries on me, and I wonder what I could have done to hurt it like...

The firefly
You shined so brightly, there among all the others, as if a thousand tiny suns had touched and burst. each with its own shade of light, its own warmth to give You were so new, your smiles free and unsuspecting and at the same time...so aged, so worn, only slightly bitter, and very very sweet but most of all you were knowing, (all knowing,:-)) savvy in the things of life I had only dreamed about Even to cry with you was such painful pleasure. To know your mind, I would have given away all my...
