On the Lakeshore
On the lakeshore, silent and solemn, in the hour when the day awakens to its first splendor, the threads between dream and wakefulness unfold, and silence crowns the placid waves.
The water, a clear mirror of the boundless heavens, timidly welcomes the light of the rising Eos. With silent steps, I advance gently, where the breeze, a balm of dawn, wraps around me.
Solemn herons, in hieratic dance, graze the waves, almost touching an ancient mystery. And the ripples, imprinted by water on the surface, expand and vanish like dreams.
From afar, an echo of bronze sound is lost, Tibetan bells gathered by the ether. With closed eyes, I immerse myself in the song of the water and the lake, whispering divine melodies.
Oh symphony that tenderly caresses the heart, you guide me beyond the threshold of thought. And joyful, I return along the ancient path, with serene memory imprinted on my soul, of that time, eternally resting, on the quiet lakeshore.
Reveal to Me Your Silences
Your love is whirling, in the restless sea of life, escaping the past, betrayed and suspended, like a shattered star upon the cliffs of silence.
Tempestuous is the breaking, in the heavy breath of humid stillness, upon the greening fields, veiled by the silent tears of dusk.
Oh Madness, that with the rhythmic dripping of silence became the restless mirror of a time, in the wavering of a love, and its abandonment by the side.
In the trembling of dreams, the mute anguish fades, little by little, into the closed shadow, the dwelling of pain.
Alone and taciturn, melancholy, (in its turmoil), wanders through the ages, weaving patient memories within the soul.
Yet afar, the sun rises once more from its golden womb, through the fresh clarity of the air, and the sky, with its azure embrace, embroiders the horizon. Infinite promises of a song soar in the breath of destiny.
Within the weave of poetry, a flower unfurls, its eternal pulsation: it is fantasy
Ode to the Speaking Wind
Along the avenues of hope, a voice walked with me, it was poetry, clinging to petals of feelings, and to thoughts bubbling at your scent, your hands brushing against my skin like ivy, holding tight to me.
We, two flowers, in the tremor of hearts, beneath a forest sky, astonished, we cried out to tomorrow, amid the cool (voice) of a mountain and the grayness of the valley, wrapped in silence that spoke of enchantment, in paths of the soul, conversing of expectations.
Amid thirsty breaths, as pilgrims, we, in the immense nature of our being, through deserts of shadows, adversities, and human miseries, and the trembling of beauty blossomed from the exultation of a dream. (among the storms, lost.)
Your name ran through the sea of words, etched in the secrets of a diary held to the chest. We wove a story of memories, which still dance in the echo, amid the sighs of stars and souls in love with light and love itself.
