Singular love

No cloud is like another,No water flows twice in the same river,No shooting star crosses the darkness of the sky twice,No canary chirps like another. The scratches on your hand are different from the scratches on everyone else’s,The sparkle in your eyes cannot be found in any other gaze,The taste of your kiss is sweet…

The rain that didn’t come

It hasn’t rained for a long time,The earth has dried up,The air is polluted,The flower has withered.The air is heavy,My chest is tired,My eyes are wet.My God, what’s come over me?The transient doesn’t attract me,Vanity bores me,empty words don’t invite me,to be alone in the room,My hiding place.When I walk,I hear the dragging of my…

Plums

Waiting

I waited for a message that never arrived, I waited for somebody who isn’t here yet, I waited for the rain that didn’t go down, I waited for the Sun to turn out and shine, I waited for the flower that bloomed, I waited for a longing that hasn’t broken up, I waited for a…

Whispered the fresh wind at the end of this summer afternoon, And the clear sky is already showing the moon in all its exuberance, Yet in my chest an emptiness and a commotion, What is it that troubles me so much? The world and its greed. I saw on the news a hungry child on…

The Word

Incarnated divine Word you were among us! We men and women of unclean lips, And desperately in need of you. Incarnated divine Word you were among us! We walked in darkness, But in your compassion you made your light shine upon us. Incarnated divine Word you were among us! We ragged slaves, evil prisoners and…

Senility

I was born a child, although I had lived as an adult since my childhood. I was young, but I had matured so early that barely saw my youth pass. I was an adult, although I had lived as if I was carrying on my back the weight of the years. I became old, although…
