Poemario
Introductory
What you have now in your hands
Is something that was not planed.
This is not my Magnus opus,
But is something that has its charm.
Here you’ll see some poems
That goes from the most odd
Animal to the simply act of
Answer an odd question.
At this point I’m at the
Middle of my English
Learning, and under this
Premise does not startle.
Some of these poems
Were written a night
Before it’s Delivery date,
Those are the worst XD.
There is also a selection of
Poems that were created
From a place in my psyche
I didn’t know I had…
… Those are the ones that I hope will enrich your day
Preface
There are a lot of ideas in this book. Some of them are things that I have never thought about, and some of them have been in my mind since the beginning of my life. The amazing thing about this compilation is that it was created out of the unexpected ability to convey an idea using images.
Table of contents
Part One
The Bestiary
This is a collection of twenty seven poems, and all of them aim at a characteristic of the named animal.
Armadillo
I feel guilty of your beauty
How subtle is the shining
Of your armor, how its colors
Blends with my outfit.
I feel guilty of your beauty,
Of what I’ve done to obtain it
Because it is not cheap
To buy a nice pair of armadillo boots.
Boar
Do not confuse me with them,
My cousins from the farm,
I’m different, I’m not a prey
But a magnificent warrior.
It takes more than five hounds
And a half dozen rifle shots
To take me down and even,
sometimes, all that is not enough.
Cat
You are like a cat
A graceful creature,
Mysterious and independent.
You captivate with one glance.
And despite all your mighty,
Glorious and attractive existence
You’ll never please me, because
I’ll always prefer loyalty as a quality among all else.
Condor
You are more than a bird.
You are more than a scavenger.
You are more than a rapacious being.
You are more than a song.
You are one of the last reminders
That up in the mountains,
Where we cannot dwell,
Life can exist in harmony with the world.
Dingo
You are much more than an animal,
Because you are between two worlds
On one side you are a dog,
But at the other you are a wild creature
A dog that behaves like a wolf
A wolf that looks more like a dog
We know you are wild only
Because it shines in your eyes.
Elephant
Nobody could be as graceful as you are
Because it is impossible
For anyone else
To move like you move.
Beauty is not a matter of speed but ability,
And your ability of moving,
That enormous weight,
That enormous body.
Fairy
You are such an elusive creature
That no adult human has ever seen you
Because there is more than just watching you
A whole different device is needed to spot you.
Only those who are not blinded,
Those who are still pure from the world
A world in which maturity is a destination
A fate that only few can escape.
A child is a beautiful creature
Because like you, they are not blinded
They still have magic in their hearts
And because of that they can see you,
They still see the magic in the world.
Ferret
Life is easy when you have a ferret,
They are a small ally that can fit in almost any place
Like the little space in the window of your house
When you by accident forget the keys inside.
It doesn’t matter if you are a long rat,
For me you are a good dog, a small one.
You do not bark, and you almost never bite
But you are able to keep the cats away.
Grizzly bear
Yesterday I was thinking about going on a trip
A journey that would be memorable, special,
Like an ancient forest with thousands of trees
With a green that my eyes have never seen before.
I would love to camp there, and have long walks
Because when I’m in contact with nature everything is perfect,
Watching the trees, the birds, the little rodents, and the gentle dance
Of the sunbeams getting through the tree tops.
I close my eyes and I’m able to imagine all that
The vision is so vivid that I almost can smell the forest perfume
While I’m walking I can see the light and the greenish shadow
Everything is so quiet, there is no other sound but the one produced by my heart.
Something is not right I cannot see birds or insects,
And there is something wrong with the shadows
That shadow was moving and then stopped suddenly
… That is not a shadow, that, that is a bear…
Hare
I’m the oldest member of my tribe
And it is not because of luck,
Or divine intervention, but because
I’m the fastest living being in the valley.
I know that my speed will not last forever,
And the only concern I have now
Is to teach my children to be as fast as I am
Because they are the future of our people.
Iguana
I remember my old house…
It was amazing, the perfect place
Where my outfit was perfect,
And it shined like an emerald.
Days were different there,
Lying on a branch all day long
Was my favorite sport, and
The food, oh my, the best I have had.
The sights were majestic
I hardly had time to think,
But I had a lot of space
To meditate about the joy of life.
Those were the happiest moments Of my entire life,
And as I’m watching My reflection in the glass,
One of the walls of my new home, I’m realizing
That I may be dead, and this is my crypt of eternal rest.
Jaguar
My father told me a story
A story about a ghost ,living in the jungle,
That nobody that is alive has seen
But only heard about.
He told me that this ghost is alive
And that he is the guardian of the jungle.
Nothing could escape from his judgement
Once he has targeted you there is no escape.
Koala
There is only one thing that you may hate,
Because it puts you apart
From your purpose in life
That noble duty you are the best at.
You are not alone my fellow friend,
Because that malevolent device
Was made to torment creatures like us
You, alarm clock, are vanished from our kingdom!
Ladybird
A small creature
That captivates everyone
In its red glamour
While it stands still
So gentle while flying
That you can easily grab it
But be careful if you
Want it to remain alive.
Mouse
There is no city in the world
That hasn’t been conquered by you
And by your offspring
There is no human that hasn’t seen one of you.
Some of you displease our kind,
Some of you soften our hearts,
Some of you amuse our days,
And some of you are sometimes better than us.
Owl
I do not know why they say that.
I’m not different from others,
And still, they worship me
As if I were the God of wisdom.
I’m not a God,
I, like any other creature, will die one day.
So why do humans keep seeing me as a symbol of wisdom
There are days in which I do not even know if I will eat.
Pig
Living life at ease
Not knowing suffering,
Eating always, and
Sleeping when they please.
It would be awesome to be a pig
To have a marvelous life.
But since I love to eat bacon,
I’m thankful for not being a pig.
Hare II
Shame on you!
Shame on your family!
Shame on your tribe!
Shame on your arrogance!
Shame on everything you are
Because thanks to you,
And your stupid attitude
I’ve lost all my savings on that race!
The entire forest was there
All the animals were confident
Of your supremacy against that
Old, slow, and harmless tortoise.
Rat
My friend, my dear old friend
I’m feeling pained
I know you are hungry
And I’m your only provider here.
Listen, the reason why
Today I am not able to give you food:
There is a riot here in the prison,
And the prison guard was killed.
It is uncertain when food is going to be available,
It is uncertain if I will survive here,
So my dear friend, please, go away,
Leave this place and find shelter somewhere safe.
Sheep
It is easy to lead you
From the green paths
To the slaughter house
With no trouble.
It is easy to hoax you
you will follow me
With no hesitation
Because you have a naive mind.
Since my childhood I was taught
To be like a wolf, to be your leader,
To rule you, to use you, because as a politician
I have no other intention for you.
Tarantula
Some say you are bewitching,
A creature full of glamour, and magic
An entity that deserves respect
But at the end it is a shame.
It’s a shame not because of your existence,
or the divided opinions about you,
It is because you have the misfortune,
The misfortune to be like my sister.
Tortoise
Once upon a night I dreamed about you.
You were my pet, and by a lace you were walking with me.
It was a strange feeling, because I was older than you
And you were the first and the oldest tortoise in the world.
Vulture
What would the world be without you?
If there weren’t a vital creature as you are
The entire planet would be covered in corpses,
From the poles to the Amazonas the world would be …
…an enormous graveyard.
Whale
In the blue depths of the ocean,
Where everything seems minuscule,
Lives a creature that defies the laws,
With your colossal body,
Of any land living animal.
This noble giant flies through
The endless blue of the seas
In search of food and company
In search of a future for its kind.
Warthog
If I had to get one ability
From an animal
It would come from you
Because there is no other like you.
You are brave like no other mammal
Because even if it is a lion
You will fightback, and some times
You will survive and live another day.
Zorilla
You are an uncomprehended creature
All the other living creatures run, far away from you,
Just because they do not understand
The magnificent and powerful fragrance that…
… Only you could have.
Zebra
It takes more than brute force
To fight against a powerful predator
Like the lion, the king of the jungle,
The one that hunts you.
You out smart him
With the power of illusion
He is not sure how many of you are
When you are in a herd.
Those black and white stripes
Create a distorted image
Of all of you, and is that
The way he cannot pick one of you.
The power of your solution
Against brute force is the use
Of a subtle arrangement of stripes
Carefully designed by evolution.
Part Two
A little bit of everything
In this section the topics of the poems are different from one another. There is no connection between poems but in some cases there are structures and ways to express ideas that may look as a pattern or a constant in a selection of poems.
To Them (Advice)
They procrastinate, every single thing in their life.
Doing homework on the last day, their usual problem.
Not knowing where they left the keys, their daily routine.
Eating garbage food while they should be eating healthy.
Being concerned with what the other people are thinking about them.
Always buying what the society commands them to buy.
Living the life the modern society tells them to live, not the life they wish to experience.
They feel sorrow in their souls, they are not happy, what they should do about it?
Well, do not bother about it, they are not you.
Child
Time is so gentle with them
Like a slow and sluggish drum.
An hour for a child lasts for ever
They live in a moment that is eternal.
But not all of them experience life that way,
There are some children that do not live.
Those children are the ones that are trapped
inside a fifty year old body.
Failure to communicate
You and I have a problem, you know it, right?
Have you ever noticed it?
We cannot be living like this, in this eternal fight!
Like two strangers, unable to speak the same language.
If I say “stop” you keep running, if I call you
You never come, in what way should I say it?
I’m here, in front of you talking, but you just chew,
Eh?¡, wait a moment, that’s my homework!
You scoundrel dog!... Why do you not understand my words?
Clown
She is funny, it is what everyone says.
With her funny movements, and her hair
She is not yet aware of what is a day,
Nor even that she shouldn’t be playing on that chair.
She is young, too young to even know what she is doing
Davey is a little two year old child, with a crazy personality
And that is what makes everyone around her laugh
She will be always funny, because she was born this way.
A muse
Why in most cases is the muse a “she”?
Wise men said it is because all the poets were male,
And I partially understand it, but I don’t completely agree
Because women are the incarnation of divinity on earth.
They are the beginning of any human being.
Humanity wouldn’t be what it is without them
Because without a mother no one could be alive,
Life without a muse wouldn’t be possible.
To Spicy food (Complain)
Spicy food is not good for anyone’s health
It hurts your guts, burns your stomach, gives you
Heart burn and, the worst of all the problems, spicy food
will give you the most tasty and vivid sensation.
Warning
You´ll have to pay for it…
You do not sleep enough now that you are young,
You eat as much junk food as you can put in your mouth,
Alcohol is not a worrisome thing to avoid,
Energy is a thing that you always have for granted.
But all those things will not be free, because
On your 30 th birthday the bill will have to be paid.
So live, and don’t mind what you´ll have to pay,
Leave that concern to your future self; he will hate you,
And he will have to do something about it.
How long am I going to love you? (Constancy)
I will love you until politicians
Do not steal from the people,
Until the corporations
Altruistically renounce their riches.
I will love you until the world stops
Spinning around the sun,
And all the light from our sun
Reaches the very same end of the universe.
I will love you until all the stars
In the cosmos fade their light away,
And the black holes gobble
All the visible mater.
How long am I going to love you?
Until the time itself collapses
Against the gravitational pulse of space,
And even after that I will still be loving you.
Epitaph
Here lies my dead body
Which I wore for thirty three years,
A body that sometimes made me proud
And others made me feel ashamed.
With this body I traveled through life
Seeing amazing and beautiful things,
Witnessing what can
Only be seen in this world.
Here lies my dead body,
But do not cry for me,
Because I’m not here,
I’m somewhere else…
… Where life goes on,
Where I’ll be waiting
To meet you again,
And love you forever.
Cursing
Mr. Smith, let me explain to you
the severity of your recklessness:
Life is a sensible and fragile thing,
And your life will be exposed to my judgment.
I will not stop all the calamities to fall upon you,
Upon your family, upon your hopes,
Upon all the things that you have achieved,
Upon your dreams.
The worst of the offenses
Are nothing compared
With your treacherous
Baseness because even Judas
the worst and most sinful being on earth
Has a little bit of hope lying
In the deepest ring of hell
Compared to you and to the fate
My wrath will bestow upon you.
You, my “brother”,
Have stolen my chocolate bar from the fridge
And I will denounce you to mom.
May the heavens never shine above your fate.
Describing an action
This is easy… don’t tiou think?
Eeeeven, a ,three years old boy could… do it.
It is what people… what p..p..people say to me, easy cake man!
But I am not sure about… that… because thinking of it..
It has an upper side, and it is clear that
I’m plugging it in the proper orientation,
While I’m connecting it with my right hand
I use my foot to press the power source, and turning it on.
While I’m balancing my weight on the power source
And with my right arm inserting the cable
I have to be aware of the text displayed on the screen
Because it supposedly should show an activation message
After some hours I quit, tired of trying
This technology is too much for someone like me.
Setting up a fridge is harder now than before.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
P.S. now that the alcohol in my system is decreasing
And my senses and neurons are getting on normal levels again
I’m wondering whether heavy drinking before setting up a new refrigerator
is not quite a good or safe idea.
Dreams of The Hollow Knight realm
Since I began this adventure every night when
I stop to rest; I arrive to the same realm.
It is not as bad as a nightmare,
But it is not pleasant either.
There, I’m always trapped in the same chamber.
And she is there, looking at me, like she
Knows that I am not able to defeat her.
Every night I’m thinking about a way to solve
This mystery and by that achieving freedom,
Because I will not go further if I don’t overcome her challenge.
She is the hardest boss I have ever fought in a video game.
So difficult that even in my dreams she’s still victorious.
I will eventually win this battle, but still there are more challenges
Beyond hers, and those will be the dreams I’ll live in the future.
Beer (drinking)
Oh sweet and refreshing invention
I wonder how something that perfect
Could be the seed of such perversion
Like it was made for some wicked intention.
I do not blame you, my beloved golden potation
Because I’m a devoted worshiper of your gospel
I would spread your teachings across the entire nation
But my wife has an odd fixation.
She doesn’t let me embrace your instruction
Because she phrases that yours is a devilish seduction
Ho! My forbidden muse, how can I live without you?
If every single day the “universe” suggests to me that
I should drink a small gulp of your golden,
sweet, and refreshing ambrosia.
Never let me go Beer, never let me go.
Grammar
I need to find an appropriate way…
The right conjunction.
There is only one link.
One piece that will make us unite.
But how would I be able to find it?
Such thing doesn’t exist for me.
People told me that they were fanboys...
But they are fans of what?
I do not get their joke. :’(
Up, up, up! (Aubade)
Up, up, up! my dear friend.
Cause it is time.
With energy get out of bed
Before the clocks chime.
Up, up, up! and trace a smile on your face
Because you’ll never know what is ahead.
Remember, life is like a maze
And to pass it you’ll have to use your head.
Up, up, up! And do your best
Because every day is a gift.
You are alive, you are blessed
So be thankful that you exist.
Up, up, up! And enjoy the play
Because you do not know
When your last day is going to be
And the warmth of your heart ..
…will transform into snow.
Colosio (letter to someone dead)
It is good for you Colosio, not being able to see
Because what they have done is an aberration.
An aberration to all your ideas about a bright future
For the party and the nation they have been ruling.
You wanted to change the core of your party, but at this time
They have changed nothing. They have even surpassed the
Imaginable limits and now they have become greedier and more evil than they
Were before. More people like you should awake now, because we need your ideals
More than never before, oh Colosio if you could see what they have done.
Letter to an old friend.
Long ago we met
But the roads took separate paths
We stopped seeing each other, until we barely remember our story.
Something was missing, something was not shining,
And it was the way life was passing, until now,
That we have crossed our paths once again,
Color has returned, senses are now awake, night has ended.
Letter to an alien
The weirdest place in this galaxy, they call it earth.
Have you ever imagined to witness the most impossible and contradictory thing?
Well, if you come here you will witness then.
These beings do care for life, but they destroy themselves.
They fight war in the name of justice but by doing it they became the lords of injustice.
They have tons of food but kept it away from the ones starving.
They have everything they would need, and instead of that they live hollow.
They live but act as they were dead, and at the end they wish for more time.
They are so simple and yet they are the most complex and contradictory beings in this galaxy.
Monologue
And you are here, at this precise moment
Since the beginning you knew, it is part of growing
But why should I, have chosen this opponent?
I have been through this before, and yes, I wasn’t enjoying.
For a man that respects himself, this is something I have to resolve,
Because time is running, and I have less of it each second that goes away.
Studying is not my thing, at least not now, it is a burden I have to absolve
From the very bottom of my soul, I need to pass this test, the only way I could stay.
Hero
He is small, and from the place his eyes should be
You can see but an empty space, the key
To what they need, to what they have been looking for
Even in the deepest zones of the infinite see, he lays now at the shore.
He is gazing at the ocean; he is looking into the darkness
And for a simple mortal it would be a dangerous fate for him is joust harmless
Because he is beyond all the human virtues, his own existence is to serve
And to protect our race, we humans. He will preserve the whole world.
And even if we do not deserve it, the hollow knight
Will oppose against all the dangers life would bring us to fight.
Photograph
He looks happy, and he has no idea of his fate.
Even though we are growing at a fast rate,
Being the youngest of his family.
He is always trying to be in harmony.
To the world he is a figure of respect, a guide, a saint.
But for us he is a simple human, see him in another way, no We ain´t.
For us he’s the young one, the small brother, the little boy.
Among all the things he has brought to us, one is the most important, and that is joy.
What is real?
What you can see, touch, smell, feel.
But, what would you do if you can’t see?
Then you have to rely on what you can touch.
But, if you can’t touch anything?
Then you should focus your senses on how reality smells.
But, imagine you are not able to perceive how reality smells, not even how it feels.
If you can’t feel then what is the purpose of life?
If you cannot feel, then you need get real, look at your senses.
Quarrel
I’m a peaceful man, almost all the time.
It is only under very special circumstances
That I get crazy and lose my mind.
So, it is not easy to make me angry.
BUT YOU, YOU LITTE PIECE OF… NOT WORKING PC
How in the whole and holy world do you think I´m going to…
How many times I have told you Microsoft? How many times? …
I TOLD YOU THAT I DID NOT WANT TO UPDATE! :@
Growing old
People always are afraid of being old
I do not share that fear, or at least I cannot
Afford that kind of ideas, because I’m already old
And even I would love it; I do not feel young even from the inside.
My memory is still along my side, and even all the senses are here,
Not as they were along ago, but they are still being useful.
There’s only one little thing that I do not like about my condition.
I do not know where I left my cane, I really need it, right now is crucial…
Not for walking, but for reaching that delicious jar of jam… :P
Story
Everything is ready, let the story be told
Because we will need a hero and a damsel in distress.
He was humble and lived in the country, and she was from
The royalty, inside her sumptuous castle.
Then the dragon appeared and kidnaped the poor boy,
and so his parents were not able to bring to the palace
the candies the princess liked the most.
At this problem the princess ordered her father to buy the dragon,
so that the boy would be able to help his parents to bring her
What she loved the most, her candies, and the sugar they held inside.
This is a better way to entertain my daughter than tell her that
I do not have money to buy her candies.
Business letter.
Dear Sir. We have to make clear
that even though you are pretty interested
in disengaging from our agreement
we have to point that you paid us
to deal with your problem,
and since your car is located
inside our office,
because you were
more than drunk
last week and
you lost control and
jumped over the bridge
and landed on our roof
that is as good as to say
it fell due the weight
of your automobile.
We are the best insurance company
and as this is a problem
that is directly our concern
we will solve it,
so please, stop calling
asking if you left the keys
in the car, because
after the fire
we hardly believe
anything has survived.
Haikus
No regret
Life is to short
So according to it
Live with no regret.
Play
Oh Video games
My sweet escape from this world
Let me focus please.
Winter
The cold in the air
Brings to my mind the warning
Of the end of joy.
A Tree
The green of your leaves
Calms my mind, and calms my soul,
Because it gives hope.
End of spring
This flower today
In the middle of the road
Tells me your advent.
Summer
Heat is your signing,
The rain is your enemy,
Me, your adorer.
Last days of autumn
Ants working all day,
Racing his worst enemy,
The remaining days.
Winter
Every one tremble
While you are visiting us
And I celebrate.
River
Your capacity
Of making me feel this calm
Makes me like you more.
February
Dusty lands I see
When the sweet cold fades away
And lets he sky dance.
Early days of spring
The symphony here
Claims the air and claims the sky
The bees have just come.
The song of spring
Yours is the best song
When the world needs to awake
Departing winter.
Rain season
Rainy images,
Blue parade of life and death,
Giving chance to live.
Contrast in nature
Contrast gives you sight,
And hot days show how needful
the gelid days are.
Seasons, life cycle.
Yellow, green, and white,
The colors of life itself,
Make the world go round.
Dehydration
(Not saying it)
My mouth and tongue feel barren,
There are no tears to cry, and
My eyes have sunken in my face
I feel lifeless, fatigued.
This arid moor is getting
More and more confusing.
This dizziness and this
Odd thirst are getting worst.
Because of the relentless and
Strong shining of the sunlight
It’s hard to tell if that ghostly
green spot in the distance…
… it seems
close enough,
So I may walk
A little bit more…
Youth (Conceit)
The young people are running
At full speed along the beach,
The beach’s name is life, and while
They run they sing along “YOLO”
Soon they will reach the end,
The main land will cease and
Will give chance to the after life
Abysmal depths, the big blue sea.
While they are running the people
That already reached the ocean
Give them advice, they try to warn them
That once you touch the sea there is no turning back.
The young do not care about the old people
Trying to warn them, they just don’t care
And they think they know how life works
Although they have just began to live.
Suddenly they reach the water,
And stop running, they look back
“Life was so short” they say,
Now they can listen to what the old ones are saying.
“Now that you have entered
Into the waters of eternity
It is time to swim towards the unknown”
An angel says to them.
“But it was too short, I need more time”
Says one of them, and tries to escape from the water.
“Life is long enough if you walk,
But all of you chose to run, you had free will”
Feet (Synecdoche)
You do not know
Where your feet are
Going to take you
This time.
They drive you
Through the sorrows
And through the
Joys of life.
Step by step
You are walking
Towards the end
Of the line, life.
Synonymy
Hate and love,
Two things that
Thrive in opposite
Places in human’s heart.
A fierce emotion
With two totally
Opposed sides,
One gives the other takes.
Love is giving everything,
Without expecting receiving back.
Hate, taking, a strong desire
To have what cannot be owned.
Both are the most intense force
Pouring out of your heart
One will become the
Supreme creation force,
The other a dark hole of destruction.
Happiness
There have been
More than two days
Since I saw her,
But it will end now.
As I’m arriving
To the designated place
And on my watch
It is five o’clock.
Suddenly, everything is beautiful,
Suddenly my eyes are wide open,
Because she is there,
Walking towards me.
There is purpose,
When she is here.
There is meaning,
When she holds my hand.
There is light,
When she looks at me.
There is joy,
When we are together.
Carpe diem
What should you do?
Well it depends.
Not on what do you want,
But on a more critical aspect.
You may want to conquer the world,
Or you may wish to become a star.
None of those are impossible, because
They only depend on one variable.
It is not your capabilities,
Or your motivation that
Will directly determine your
Success, it is time.
Time is what you need to achieve
Anything in life some will need more
Than others, but at the end
It is just time what you need.
So, be wise my young friend,
And use that precious time
That you have and begin to do
What you need to achieve your dreams.
The end of the world
Yesterday, at noon
The broadcast began
And the whole world
Knew the time had come.
The scientist in charge
Stood in front of the camera
And with a sad expression
Confirmed the worst:
The last bee died,
And with that
Humanity’s hope
To survive the imminent famine.
Rhythm
I’m here stalking
And I’m mocking
Of your rocking
When you’re talking.
You like rocking
When you’re walking
And I still mocking
At your talking.
But while I’m mocking
Of Your talking
You’re still rocking
As you’re walking.
I wish my walking
Were as rocking
As your mocking
While I’m walking.
Change
There is only
One constant
In the universe:
Everything changes.
From a star
To an atom
They never
Stay the same
Everything changes,
Time and space
Are the canvas
On which change exists.
So there is no reason
For you to expect that
Something stays the same
Because it’s exists in this universe…
… Of constant change
Manual for being me
Awake every morning at seven o’clock.
Think about your reasons to get up from bed,
When you find a worthy reason
You will get up and immediately take a shower.
The shower is mandatory, otherwise
You will not completely awake.
After the shower having breakfast is what comes next,
Do not forget to drink your green smoothie before your breakfast.
Thinking is an important activity during your working day,
So prepare the list of things you are going to think about.
This list should include the following topics: the future of videogames,
Your incomes, the weather and the future of human civilization…
… The day you will find a house, how many finals you have to finish,
Did she drink her green smoothie? how long do I have to be waiting,
Do they know that time flies? Am I going to live tomorrow?,
What is inside a black hole? why is trash food so delicious?
Basically the whole day you will be interacting with people
In a fifty percent phase, one half will be your inner thoughts
And the other part will be yourself applying
The rules and procedures of a civilized citizen.
Villanelle
You’ll understand it when you witness it
As it's not seen by the eyes of the mind
But by those that lay behind, the spirit.
If you miss that prime thing, life you should quit,
not seeing it is like being blind, but
You’ll understand it when you witness it.
A young man thought about wealth, he’s still unfit,
His whole race bears the same sin, to be blind,
But by those that lay behind, the spirit.
Look at the children, do not think just sit
See how they’re running free, happy, unwind,
You’ll understand it when you witness it.
The one rule of life is: you have to fit.
Only by thinking you will remain blind,
But by those that lay behind, the spirit.
Only with The eyes of the soul you'll lit
the final dark hours of humanity.
You’ll understand it when you witness it.
But by those that lay behind, the spirit.
Power chant
Today I will say my truth.
Everyone I meet will know
What I think about anyone,
And I will find the exact words.
Today I will say my truth.
Any problem I face against
Will be broken by my inner power,
And I will be the conqueror of my life.
Today I will say my truth.
All my fears will fade away,
They will return to that obscure place,
They will sink in the emptiness.
Today I will say my truth.
All the wicked intentions towards me
Will be redirected to their casters,
They will be cursed by their spells.
Today I will say my truth.
All the injustices in my life
Will cease and disappear
From my life.
Today I will say my truth.
Today is the day,
The time of my awakening
The time of getting my divine rewards.
What is a poem?
At the beginning it seems that
It was a succession of words
Carefully arranged in a pattern
Of rhythm and form.
Then, the forms spread
Into multiple and
Complicated patterns
Of rhythm and structure.
Suddenly that complexity
Disappeared, and it
Brought a more clear
Image of what this is.
It is not only a complicated form
Of image and rhythm,
A poem is the condensation
Of a feeling wrapped in an image.

Final
Some of the greatest poets
Have their own final act,
a poem that will serve as
Their farewell to the world.
I don’t consider myself a poet
But I, like them, have my farewell
Words when the imminent end
Comes and I leave this world.
Epilogue:
Here lies a part of myself,
A piece of time and space
Are captured here,
Along these poems.
There is a chance that You,
May be longing for me,
And that pursuit ended up
Here, in this old book.
Please do not cry for me,
Although here lies a part
Of myself the true essence
Of what I am is not here.
I want to tell you something:
Death is not the end,
Death is only a transition,
Death is just a new beginning.
I’m not a religious man, but
I believe in a superior force,
You may call it “God”, or you
May have another definition for it,
It doesn’t matter, because that superior force… exists.
There is a part in every human being
That is not from this world,
People use to call it “soul” but
I like to call it “your true self”
I want to tell you that from where
I am now life has sense, now
I can see and understand why
Everything happens in the world.
I am not dead, my true self can’t die
Because I’m part of this superior force
And you are made from the
Same eternal substance.
Live and enjoy life
As it comes, and If you
Are going to cry, do it
If you are overflowed by joy.
Be authentic, be yourself, be happy.
Do not waste your most precious
Resource, time, being afraid of
What others will think about you.
The world is full of surprises
You will never know what is coming,
So be always prepared, not worrying
but with a peaceful curiosity.
Live and do not be afraid of death,
And do not cry for me, because I’m not dead,
I’m somewhere else, where life
Continues in its true form.
