IN THE PATH OF MEMORIES
In the path of memories
I abandoned hope
In the palm of my hand
Then taken suddenly
Towards memories’ road
Before the gate a structure;
Dressed with a shirt of solitude
And longing is awakened once again
Before this day’s dream
TO A LANE OF LONGING
To a lane of longing
Was standing on a stoned memory
Early living on me
Embraced at a skin of solitude
Everywhere on each point
Unravels a shirt of time;
Then I stand again at the corner of memory
Suddenly remembered a love setting.
PORTRAIT
I am awakened
Nearby your portrait
Descended
Quietly in your view
Hanged a (re) born love
In front of night
As a dissolved portrait
Inside my eyes...
WAITING
Right after the end of initial verse
The second I placed on syncope
Until I felt
A thunder of longing and love
Waiting ... like three calls
Inside the path of memories...
(WITHOUT) HOPE
Let me draw with a charcoal
A little hope at a mirror’s face
With my fingers
Would feel drops of senses
After the dissolution of a cloud
To see your forgotten face
Let me transcend closed paths
With dark swamps
To find you smiling
Somewhere in the paths of hope
