Ana Leitao Poems

For You That Lost Your Love In Me
May You FInd What I Still Have Inside
The Sun You Brought To My Life
May You Share Yours With Someone Else's Heart
...

the smile of your body
the touch of your lips
the petals in your voice
you
...

if only my darling
in between those falling tears
you could see the rainbow
if only my darling
...

There are so many things I'd like you to know
so many places you've never been
shells
hidden pearls
...

I am in love with you
and I know why
many times
in the dark of many
...

Banished from sin and the sacred
Now they inhabit the humble intimacy
Of daily life. They are
The leaky faucet the late bus
...

Midday. A corner of the deserted beach.
The huge, deep, open sun on high
Has chased all the gods from the sky.
The harsh light falls like a punishment.
...

Lord free us from the dangerous game of transparency
There are no corals or shells on the sea floor of our soul
Just a smothered dream
And we don’t really know what dreams are
...
