Today and Just Before
Today and just before light covers the sky
I hear bells chiming faraway in the city.
Bells that I hear as if they slowly spread evil
and solemnly stir the remaining darkness.
Where have I left my sweet childish heart?
In what era, in which bell’s chiming I’ve tied it?
In what era and today I’ve kneeled
on my weak knees and prayed?
A prayer to beauty, to the forgotten mother
to ignorance, the smile, the voice of a dream
listening to the saddened chime of the bell
today that talks of the untimely death.

Caricature
A bad imitation of a human,
faceless, like the company
he served, arrived and
hiding the packaged freedom
silently in his pockets
deaf freedom choked
from the excess lard he had
consumed in their last feast
sorrowful leftover of our old
glory and I, saddened by
the momentary loss of logic
leaned and smelled the tiny
jasmine flower, letting its
aroma fills my nostrils
emotional that I had become
to the point of tears: then,
it wasn’t far away anymore,
it wasn’t impossible. It was
here on the dusty sidewalk
here it was the Heavens
into which I surely entered

Treason
However, this aged skin
this desert,
the wilted days
yet this cracked voice
the desertion
a betrayed issue
total defeat.
