guillermo veloso Poems

Have you ever seen the sun at midnight?
Have you ever felt the cool rain on a cloudless day?
Have you ever run your toes through the tall grass on a city street?
Have you ever made love to a lover on a loveless night?
...

We are infinite
Dew drops on an
Endless web
Neighbors on a matrix
...

The slavery of emotion
The illusion of desire
The lie of life
The deception in her eyes
...

Love lost
when is love lost?
When fallen kisses and caresses
Are shadows on the neck and lip
...

Well-worn rough
This American hand
Creased with soil from cotton fields and asphalt
Calloused with trains, skyscrapers and baseball
...

I sent my little flowers
On a journey
To the universe
This small life will end and
...

For you
I leave my angels behind
All that is left of me
Enough to remember
...

Somewhere an ocean spreads on a sleeping beach
Somewhere a wave falls red with krill
Somewhere a blue whale leaps in scaffold breach
Somewhere a tern paints an arctic sky
...

Memories lap
Upon my dream-shore
Like the morning tide
They stain my sands
...

This summer night
Thick with textures
A broth of mist and sound
Alive with bells / sleigh bells /
...
