All signs... air and fire
vital harmonious forces
amalgamate in Aquarius...
I am concerned with the structures that sustain the universe,
with the mighty river of time,
the tablature and the compass of souls
dispersed in their endless penances,
the enigmatic smile of doubts
overlapping the fragility of certainties,
the detestable silences that precede painful decisions
and with the thick amalgam of pain
that poisons our days with the most varied enigmas.
What worries me is the shock
when I wake up from the nightmare of living,
the need for millimeter precision
in counting the steps until the freedom of not thinking,
the innumerable precipices
that surround any and all will of the mind
to keep away from the fainting, falls and stumbles.
What I am concerned about
is the indifference of entities or deities
that could undo the deception of atoms
in condemning us to finitude,
constantly and habitually
expressing unmistakable signs of contempt
for creatures who have given them a supposed superiority
over their own destinies.
my concern is about the extension of the shadow
that negatively illuminates the path
we should follow under the light.
the rest don't worry me.

EKPHRASIS ENTERS
Light to light which illumes
as colour fills our eyes and enters
our mood.To trigger stark sensations
colour floats on white,yellow
blue and red in parallel luminous
blocks.This conceptual mirror
meticulous,yet of the common
place, a still life set free in
pervading symbols of the night.
The senses merge to become a
dialogue, a commentary in words
Thunder between my ears,
Reaching down nerve endings,
Like shocks on wires climb,
Piercing at my chest,
Clenched tight in a ball,
I've known deeper pain,
But it's striking nonetheless,
Diaphragmatic breathing,
Eyes sealed facing the sun,
I clasp hands at calm,
Palms catching the dawn,
And though I inhale the beauty,
Hold in as much as I can bear,
My lungs always falter,
Left with the stale humidity,
Staring down a closed door.
I hold your hand asking for a dance…
Enraptured from a tingling spiritual romance…
I bow to you giving a gracious smile,
Knowing you are with me all the while…
I enfold you with electric light embrace…
Thankful your love fills fears place…
I honor you with a pure courageous mind…
Ushering into my being compassion laced with kind…
I serenade you with my song trinity…
Blended with perfection; sovereignty, unity, unlimited possibility…
I see our bond is infinite, redefining wealth…
I willingly go down the rabbit hole to know more of this truest self…
I vow to remain connected by your side…
I promise you never will I choose to run and hide…
Forever I will hold your hand…
