On my neck. I cannot swallow
The terrible pain in my throat

The UnwantedHe came to live his life in peace
To put all his troubles at ease
But like a garbage, he was shunned
Almost short of being gunned

Twilight Romance Part 2In twilight's quiet, 'neath the sky's dimmed hue,
Two hearts murmured low, as love's frail seedlings grew.
With every beat, a yearning, in every glance, a tear,
A bond as deep as sorrows, a stream of hope unclear.
In...

Black swans
Sitting on the same bench
a few years after,
memories come back
while I'm watching the pond,
feeding the ducks, geese
and the black swans.
After a long time,
Santa Margarita's park
shows its colourful beauty
for different people enjoying walking around....

Your eyes are goneMother
the streets are cold
do you know my name?
I am getting old
don't forget to pray
so maybe God

to the park?
will you...

The Compassion I Didn't HaveWe thought life would have been
so simple: flowers and hugs,
sentimental nights and songs;
then, reality came with its pain...
we were no longer that invincible,
rather two people so gullible!
The compassion I didn't have
hurts inside, now it's tearing...

Implausible Thought
Your onyx hair curled and cascaded wild,
some swirled in the stream of craving squall,
some laced the lilting lattice of lust
on your forehead of ivory canvas,
carving contours of evanescent charisma.

I have more to giveI tremble in these shadows, wrestling all forms of demons
'Cause, after you, I've learned how to soundly defeat them
For far too long, I've put up with the degradation of your behavior
After a life time, I...

Of Mice and MenI am a mouse, catatonic with fear;
just trying to stay still and silent,
to survive.
Batted about by an indifferent cat;
for him a lazy afternoon,
for me an aching lifetime.
It has no idea of the torture it inflicts;

the flower in my desiccated heart blossomed

like the soothing rare summer rain of oasis.
The flame of my heart was stoked
