Long Oneiric Poems

with midnight dreams we dance
unyielding, i stir unwilling to awaken
incessantly seeking
You

like virgin wings of the monarch, your shape gently unfolds
i clutch the edges of slumber
aware in my wakening you will be gone
Again

you have come before,...

Above all the conceptions upon gleaming constellations, among the Seven Seas,

Twinkle 
She’s supernal, the Sapphire Star of El       
She’s empyreal, the fire pulsar shell     ...

A walk solitary in the evening, 
took me to a path 
that led to the vast calm sea 
under the serene blue sky;
In the midway, I stopped
to reach a spot so calm and placid,

I have slept while awake,
And on an oneiric trip,
To stroll down the street;
And prognosticate in these rays,
Behold the white monster,
With a mask to fissile...
So, I peeped through the lens,
Of my conscience, my acme!

"The Kissing Loop"



My eyes close to keep you there
in a dream slow dancing, bow and cello we waltz in air
bending you closer into my body
like this pea soup fog embracing me
I walk quiet streets surrounded...

In the enchanted night, when the moon weaves its silver mantle,
The insomniac wanders through the labyrinth of his arcane thoughts,
His last refuge, a crystal castle of eternal consciousness,
Rises above the sleeping world, a mystical beacon...

A smile often brings the daylight, justifying happiness naturalistic.
She plays by his garden of roses...

I found in myself substructures of understanding and they see more than my eyes, they predict a future under the shade of trees in the huge patio behind the house, the light coming from the...

MELIORISM 
This world stings like the scorpion, 
And I will not filter in her tears,
This I said because I’m a champion, 
Only throwing jabs, it really wears!
Like the faeces of a chameleon, 
She stinks in...

I'm here bordering almost oneiric
in a state of somnolence in an invisible fire
wearing the personification of a hellish realm
obsessive and compulsive in the unknown...

I turn the hourglass counting grains of sand
to validate my existence pondering...

from hazy pastel shades of blue
bound by storms

a fiery glow
smooth and shiny
zigzags of xanthous and marigold
