When Two Becomes One
In my sunny days it becomes a wish
And in my peaceful nights, my dream!
Do these words of mine that live in ink
Reach the echoes of your silent heart?
It, at last, our quiet lips should meet
The mingling of our breath would then speak
The truth, and the truth be made aware
That I love you more than you can hear...
This is for you, stranger, who should be
My wife, my companion, my love
For all of time, both mine and yours
Are one and the same forevermore
Believe me! I need you by my side,
You are my strength, my hope and my guide...
I love you with all my heart! ...

Johanna
The flight was short
But the touching affections
Left behind on this Earth
Were forever stamped
In the hearts you touched
While living with us.
Three little ones
Who will be forever
Missing you days and nights
And who would carry your image,
For you continue living
Through all of them!
Two sad butterflies
Dressed in Black and Red
Carried the message
Of your departure!
Sweet and fun memories
Will enlighten our lives

Duality Of Existence
If in pain there is also pleasure
It is because the two come together
Hand in hand, like all else...
Part of the duality of existence...
All is proportional to its opposite,
Capable of the same extreme
As the swing of a pendulum is equal
Unless balancing is never still..
Faster I spin, though farther I fall
I shall yet rise higher, be sure that I know
Both ways the danger
As the the bliss are inseparable...
Possibility in every direction
I can nowhere again be lost
Or afraid of some place strange to me
When I have made a frame of choice and degree...

Questions Waiting for Answers
In what garden of error
Is there greater despair
Than the substitute
For love's pure bloom? ...
Which is the open wound
In an immovable ground
That makes of love's a weed
To depart while it bleeds? ...
The lie is disclosed,
Defrauded-exposed...
The diamond-only glass
Which falls from truth-then cracks...
False love-fly from me!
Or I will run away from thee,
While the surface blistered still,
My broken dream-I cannot heal! ...

Those Gazing Eyes
I have seen those eyes before,
Sparkling like a diamond,
Asking for love and more,
Reflecting the color of an almond...
Eyes that see through the heart,
Constantly moving with hesitation,
Of their secret, they revealed just a part,
Living the rest to my imagination...
From nowhere they suddenly appeared,
But left me confused and alone,
When magically they disappeared,
While I was writing this poem...
Hoping to see them again,
Oh, those eyes, beautiful and bright,
The ones I saw in the train,
Nobody knows, one day, again, I might...

A Cry Out
Oh! Heart of mine!
That has been broken
In so many pieces and many times…
Here I am, wondering
If you can survive this time,
When I am drowning in a valley of tears,
After contemplating the departure
Of another so-called everlasting love….
Oh! My dear heart!
Temple of my sadden life! Here I am, once again,
Walking through a path that leads to nowhere…
Here I am, eating without taste,
Looking for consolation
In the emptiness of loneliness…
Here I am, trying in vain
To hold a love that is gone…
Oh! Heart of mine!
Will you survive next time?

A Love's Desire
In my desperate need
To know of your whereabouts,
I asked the moon about you
And it turned its back on me, ,
Trying to hide behind a cloud...
I also asked the stars
With no response at all...
I had no choice, indeed,
But ask for help from above,
Since, witnesses they were both
Of our passionate love...
Now, stuck with inquire without result,
I am alone, sad and really hurt,
Making everything sounds like a satire,
Getting old and tired...
One question remaining,
Should I give up
Love's matters
And retire?
Her, and the whole world

Pleading
O Lord! O Lord!
Help me, please! ! !
You who created her
So beautiful and so divine
And gave me the eyes and heart
To madly fall in love with her
Now give me the strength
To get her out my mind
And erase all traces within my heart....
Since nothing seems to work out.....
Please, Lord! !
As your child I beg...
Lead me toward a new shining path
Without tears and pains...
For now I know
That nothing remains the same
And nothing lasts forever...
It is of life a fact...

Beyond Reason
Two trained legs
A pen or two
A subway fare
And a broken
Pair of pointed old broken shoes...
Is all the wealth
I have in New York City...
Sixty-nine blocks
I had to walk,
Without a coin
In my pocket...
I sympathize
With beggars now,
Not that I think
We're all trying
To reach a standard...
Kept as an ideal,

One Way To Go
As every day goes by,
And everywhere I go,
I deeply think of you...
I have come to realize
That the time has arrived
For me to let you go...
From my heart and mind,
And this time forever,
Just simply, let you go...
If won't be easy,
But i can be done,
Once and for all...
No more tears
Rolling down my face
Because it finished,
But a widely smile
Because it happened, instead...
Let somebody's else,
Put the pieces back together,
And mend my now broken heart...
