Going To Argos

40 minutes ago I wanted to send you an sms thinking of you while I was drinking my cofee at the terraces that you love them at night but I didnt write because of the overly large sunshades and of the empty place from me which could never be taken now I write an sms that I will not send because it is impossible to let myself to be seen me who I look like a broken bench next to any empty place at the terraces that you love them at night with the lamps big as the story of Andromeda but with the sunshades overly large only now I send you an sms in which I have written nothing.

I'Ll Write You With Me

I’ll write you with me
This love is not for paper and ink Lakshmi I’ll take off your clothes to write myself in thousands of touches on you on your breasts and between ur warm thighs this hot love I’ll write it with me the silence will shed tears from whispers of unspoken words this love is not for paper and ink it passes the thrill through your moist womb through the rain of fire it writes itself flying with us otherwise how would the sky know about our love Lakshmi how would the sky read about our love…

Erotica Or Love From the World's End - Hemispheres

I left barefoot
to reach you.
So far, of stones,
Barefoot,
just to reach you
before  sunrise.

Walls loaded of mildew, 
Turgid back coat, I can’t underpin myself,
not even to touch them
Is easy, I’ll build a house,
sometime from fir wood.

You are sleeping so far away!
You wouldn’t see when barefoot I shall swarm 
Trough  pinnacle, barefoot
on the endless column
to hit your ground, before sunrise.

I have in left hand the candle, in the right the cigar.
Is frost  and dark,
Again this  old wiring of hundred years gave in.
The cofee is cold-
I smoke and drink between two hemispheres:

flame and ash.

If you have  felt scent of fir wood and smell of tabacco
If you saw the light and traces of soles
you are so far… 

tell me tommorow if I won to you
before sunrise!

If I won, it means you saw my eyes wichever are never seen.

Eyelids

Hovering in blue.
I heard from deepness beatings of your eyes.
Halcyons, waves and the eyelids
smashing me of the steep shore.


Hovering in green
From mountains I heard the rustle of your eyes.
The firs, the grass and eyelids
dancing over the world's dark circles

Hovering in grey.
Holding my heart with tree fingers on a rock
and I heard the blinking of your eyes
as well as my throb between
sky and earth.

I dont know if I steped away into blue,
neither if I crushed by green.

My sole of foot was grey

like stone
and wind
and life

and your eyes
when are not blues or green.

You'Re Not Alone

Sunday

 

I have to caress you in the morning

 

today God is resting

 

and you are too fragile to leave you out cold

 

 

put your cheek on my chest until

 

Monday

Forget

Forget the arithmetics of eyelids and open your palms to release a river bed on your body, the brooks. To the springs I’ll bring the ocean, like Sisyphus. You don’t believe. You know everything about each drop slipping through your breasts. You don’t believe in the grain dew gathering your streams. But forget the arithmetics of eyelids and forgive Sisyphus when is looking for your eyes, Godwoman! Tomorrow you will lower yourself to reach your peak and will split over us the unhindered play of the world.
