Let the silences embrace each other
may the night not be silent
Let life reclaim the horizon
May the sea not be silent
Let the dream awaken.
That between punishment and justice
may death be condemned may silence not embrace in the sea of the past forgetting grievances may misfortunes be exterminated.
May the poet never die
may the muse not die
may time not end
may they drown in Verses
That from the sky
May the sound of trumpets embrace the silences in a world without violence
May a cry of freedom be heard in the four corners of the world
between seas of a silence without fear
May there be no more boredom
between songs and muses
in the courtyard of Doña Juana
may verses be written
may lovers love each other
between erotic poetry
between promises and kisses
Breaking the silence
of the night
may the muse protest
for the children of Africa
and keep vigil for the dead of gaza
Let thought not flee in silence
May words not die on our lips
may our gazes float
searching among poetry
The caresses found
May peace not die.
Second Poetry
On the way to the dream
Of a journey without thinking
I want him to own me
I want to let myself be embraced.
With sweetness savouring
Love is no longer a chimera
Could it be that I’m tempting myself?
On the edge of this riviera.
Perpetuate in all your body
I won’t miss any corner
Of San Pedro and Malecon
Beach of my antibody.
In the infinite explosion
Of the complacent encounter
Yes almost madly demented
For your exquisite way.
For your sublime desires
That I already covet to find
enter into my sea
sailing in your walks.
What do I hope for so much?
The promise without forgetting!
For I am consumed by an abyss.
You do not see my despair
Wind up my sense
to the very paroxysm!
Delight in my tune
with bachata or symphony!
Set me in your mind
To love you in your feelings
To cure my torments
and be incandescent fire.
To spread my agony
For the taste of your kisses
To be yours in your raptures.
¡Come love me today my life!
