For you
I’ll turn all the lights off
And I would stay in the darkness…

FOR YOU
For you
I’ll turn all the lights off
And I would stay in the darkness
I will also turn off the last candle, burned flame
Of spirits
Because, neither the light
Will have any sense without you.

LOVE COHESION
Darling
Wait for me to come one day
As particle molecules
Wait for me
Let’s get together, in this cohesion of love.
GATEWAY OF THE HEART
Whenever you feel lonely
You can open the gateway of my heart
There is still room for exit – entry.
***
CANDLES FOR LIGHT
How many candles are lit?
To get rid of this darkness
But I did not know
That the darkness extinguishes all candles.
***
I WILL COME
I’ll come one day
To remove your tears
I’ll be your smile
Although I won’t be with you
I’ll be in your footsteps
Let me please
To be your sleep
***
LIFE WITH UPS AND DOWNS
Why does my life bring me torrential rains?
Nausea, fatigue
You know how much I need the sun, light and knowledge
Sometimes I try not to stop the light in the tower,
the shepherd’s fiddle
Do not exhaust the water source
Why does my life force me to say the word without weighing it
A distinguished man
I removed as much as I could, I didn’t chock the snake, the worm
I didn’t even destroy a wasp’s nest
Before you finish eating
I was not in the habit of leaving the table
In the past I loved art, beauty
With an espresso coffee I dived into the deep ocean of thought
Infinite Space
And my life blames me for not doing more,
That I could not stop the vanities of time
Why does my life demand things I can’t do?
I don’t even have the strength to change them
If you walk on the street
I only managed to wipe his tears
Please don’t blame me, out of skin
I can’t go out.
