Ayi Escalona Poems

When I am dead and darkness reigns
My body decays but the soul remains
To the breeze t'will float
Whispering 'I Love You' though mute
...

Lord, it's always a pleasure for me to thank you for
           everything you've given me that makes me what I am;
Thank you for everything that you provide that makes me
           a happy being;
...

Darkness creeps into the bluest skies
And alas, there are your words
The very essence and purpose
Of my day is about to begin
...

O' damsel I caressed
Of sweet love i praised
the lass i sanctify
a goddess of my eye
...

Like a thirsty man trapped in the sanctuary of thoughts
I tread in the tranquility of Hiroshima’s memorial of peace
There, I imbibe every frame of destruction
My innocence wandered to all corners faster than a child
...

The roads are unusually silent
Like a tuneless music room
I felt so deaf to listen to nothing
Aimlessly I am drifted to no where
...

How could I conquer the loneliness of night
When every spark of burning thoughts is pain
And this heart pumped tears and not blood
Shall I keep on weeping and wait for the wound to heal
...

flickers of silver lights
traversed the skies
roaring like thunder's
glaring despise....
...

The day is gone leaving scattered emblems
Of once picturesque skies
A cool shadow, flickers of gold
Shimmering beauty captured in vast thoughts
...
