    Poems
    Winter
    We encounter at the end of the year
    You come without fear,
    While I surrender to your feet.

    I realized that you have arrived,


    When the clouds break apart
    And little pieces fall around.

    Your arms, strong and cold


    Cover the city with a blanket of snow.
    Your breath blows away the last leaves
    On the trees.

    All life around me disappears


    The birds fly away searching the southern heat.
    Meanwhile out there in the forest
    The bear and the deer hide and cover
    From the cold winds you bring over.

    I stay in my room and read a book


    The fireplace heats my body
    But my heart remains cold and snowy.
    The only consolation I have is to know
    That one day you´ll be gone.

    Touch
    I still remember the sound of your breath on my neck
    As a ship searching across my skin
    Some calm in the water and a dock to rest in.
    I still remember the kiss of your fingers
    Sliding slowly down my cheeks,
    Like a drop of water that falls gently from a leaf.

    I still feel your head resting on top of mine


    Your chin caressing my hair.
    I still feel your arms embracing me at night
    Protecting me from the cold of solitude
    With a force that none mortal has felt yet.

    I want to have all these sensations back, own them


    I want them to stay with me forever
    To have your touch and the taste of your lips
    Back again, within and close to me.

    I don´t want an empty caress nor a bitter kiss


    I don´t want this distance between us

    I want to challenge the laws of physics
    And have our bodies fuse in a sigh.
    I want your body to be where mine is
    And mine where yours inhabits.

    Angelical Beauty
    Her black hair shines as when I last saw her.
    She wore a blue dress and had a ponytail at first,
    Then she loosed her hair.
    It moved with the wind like a black wave
    While the sunlight kissed her head.

    My sister would come to visit us


    A red car was the sign that she had arrived.
    As she got off everyone stopped.
    She was a sensation, her beauty a condemnation.
    Many followed her, but she had heart for only one of them.
    His name was Jahir.

    Her skin looks brown like cinnamon


    As she walked down the street
    All looks turned and focused on her lovely cinnamon skin.
    No wonder why! If it glittered and shined
    Under the sunlight, joyful and fine.

    Her lips are heart shaped and red as a rose


    Her eyes are big and of the color of an amber rock
    Every time your eyes crossed with hers
    You got lost in the sincere beauty within them.
    No one could escape to the hypnotizing power of her gaze.
    Blessed is that one who had the chance to kiss her lips
    Because more than one would have died or killed for it.

    But she would have not allowed that


    She was an angel, a good lady,
    Her beauty was not only physical
    It also reigned her soul and heart.
    She cared for our parents, always making sure
    They did not miss a doctor´s appointment.
    She felt pity for children in the streets and
    Single mothers, she gave them food,
    She gave them clothes, if she could, she would give more
    She told me once.

    Her presence turned tragedy into a musical.


    She was always happy, laughing, making jokes
    The goofiest person I ever met.
    But also super smart and talented girl.
    She loved her family, and above all, children
    She expected one so anxiously

    But, suddenly death came knock on our door.

    As I look through the crystal, I see she wears a white dress


    This is a little uncommon for someone like her
    She never liked white, she told me once
    But to me, it fits her just well.
    Even in her eternal sleep beautiful she is.
    Undoubtedly she will always be
    The angelical beauty that on this earth
    Peace and love made us all feel.
