Meditación

¡Esta quietud amparando el alma!
suave brisa lisonjeando sentires
en la efímera búsqueda
que desnuda dolores
lanzando a las llamas
todo vestigio hiriente
para hacerles renacer 
desde las propias cenizas 
en semillero de nuevas esperanzas
florecerlas en pájaros en vuelos
calmar su sed de cielos
y en esta encantación
-siempre dolorosa-
se redime toda fantasía
a cambio de nuevos
engaños.

VOCES 

1.
del silencio aprendes 
que esperar señales
es mirarse en espejo quebrado
lisonjear apenas tu propia imagen.

2.
del silencio aprendes
a escuchar palabras abortadas 
conceptuando aun toda intención
de nacer libres.

3.
del silencio aprendes
que la voz es pálpito 
lanzado al viento del este 
que todo lo arrastra.

4.
del silencio aprendes
a ennoblecer más miradas
que las que logran concebirse
allende el horizonte.

5.
del silencio aprendes
que las emociones laten
en pulsante imaginario
fusionando alma con voz.

6.
del silencio aprendes
a danzar desnuda sin más atuendo
que la poesía que libera
tu propia alma.

7.
del silencio aprendes
a encontrar en tu voz 
la dulce finitud de la existencia
tan ajena a la esencia de la espina.

8.
del silencio aprendes
que cada palabra asume una historia 
y al ser pronunciada libera su inherente juicio
sin más pretensión que ser concebido. 

9.
del silencio aprendes
a encontrarte con tus extravíos
tomarlos de las alas y leer 
su cándido ruego.

10.
del silencio aprendes
que el bien proviene del amor
y todo aquello que le vulnere
debe deshabitar el alma.

Santuario poético

en el estuario de tus ojos brota mi poesía
tu boca bésame tal silabario apócrifo 
y así vas despertando las aves 
que se mecían dormidas en mi adentros
y mis manos buscan sosegar la avidez
impúdicas se deslizan 
tentadas por el ardor de la cereza
la sombra y la vida
el espasmo que invita 
a desnudar el olor de tu piel 
en mis adentros
porque urge desparramar un sueño 
tal rezo divino
escapulario de pieles
eyaculando bálsamos 
fieros 
benditos
estremecidos
como ninguna otra fuerza 
la tuya en la mía
cataclismo de mares 
furtivos...

Lovers

dance with me to the beat of love
where a memory hangs over a cloud
and whispers secrets to the night 
calling to the moon to look at us
naked bodies on the sand
romancing a lurid waltz 
turning all silence into passionate cry 
tongues sealing our salt 
twirls of flesh tied in one
ancient desires blushing anew
on the warm carpet of tiny crystal roses
bathed by tropical waves 
lucid dreams romancing the mind 
where only you can conceive
the power of your gravity
taking over all my fire
until finally subdued
into pulsing 
karma! 

Your Eyes

roses
morning roses
the warmness of their passion
metaphors spelled within my lips
the sweetest delirium 
ten thousand birds 
singing in my heart

roses
only roses!

your eyes…!

Lapsus Calami

Strange pleasure
to challenge emotions
throw them to the wind
erratic - ardent
unsheltering the narrowness
glass exorcisms 
to smile
- inaudibly -
the benevolent certainty
digging the chest
nurturing new roots
migrants - throbbing
to conceive an oblivion
snatching from 
the rapt time 
its dead
sores
to open the door
praise other fires
grow in them.

Heal.
