These eagles,
these creatures of
the High Sky.
They hatch in
nests of branch
and twig; nestled,
fitted into crags;
perched over
precipices.
Soon to soar,
but first,
they fledge,
they unruffle,
on thin-air
Earth.
So very like
our Dreams.

Some scoff
others laugh
Still others watch
the dance
from
stony precipices
Don't you realize
that visions are real things?
Don't you realize reality is little
more than an illusion?
Earthly things sustain us for a short while
But in the end eternity winds the battle!
Keep your hopes up!
Keep your flags flying!

Concrete
Abyssal, abysmal, profound,
superficial, light, evident,
your eyes change color...
Cracks, gaps, ruptures,
labyrinths, anguishes, throat
your eyes confine my desires...
Precipices, cliffs, gullies
schisms, contractions, insights
your eyes sometimes interact...
Lovers, flirts, friends,
I forgive all this because
I love your eyes
and you... !

Re : Old Poems
Bells of triumph clang,
Fortresses fain to hail thee
Men of valiant swords.
Glories thence fell, crowns crumbled
To dust, no wailings were heard.
,,
The wind about thy sceptre howl and cry,
Loft precipices trampled;
Ruined rich piles of graves.

Verse
Below me sweeps a thousand feet
Of air and nothing more,
Precipices fall away
Yet stir me to the core.
Yawning chasms, with evil gape
Scare a mortal soul,
Oh, but is there elsewhere
A spirit feels so whole.
In that moment there I stood
Heaven, surely found.
I am but a speck upon this earth,
High above the ground.
