guillermo veloso Poems

Look for the beauty in
The old woman she has become
There, undiminished, is the fire
That set a heart aflame
...

Are you coming?
I could use the company it asks.
Is there a forgiveness in the passing?
There!
...

Dreams unfurl in the restless
Winds of your sleep
Roses come unattended to your door
Where do your valentine roses come from my dear?
...

Deep in the dark-jungled green
Of my day dream addled
Despair
The man sold me
...

How did I lose you?
This wrenching yet subtle pain
I held you so close to me, I could feel
This connection to earth and years
...

The yellowing eyes embrace the yellowing sun and follow its arc through the white fence
I am seeking crumbs of memories like the chango
that dart in and out of the just painted fence
Crumbs of memories
...

My lizard saints
Play in the bramble
Under the morning haze
Beckon and seek
...

I will travel today
With my ghosts and stories
In a bag
I go to shepherd
...

Erase it
Scour it
Bury it
Forget it
...
