guillermo veloso Poems

Love comes easy,
Like this
A motion
Free of me and you
...

A golden morning
Syrupy light shimmers
Desert heat as shadow
On the wall
...

Reaching over dunes in the sandstorm that is our lives
We pitch our tents apart, lit by a desert sun that burns the sky
I sleep alone, far from the disdain of cold skin
Once we knew each other, like a brief desert shower
...

The winds passed
And clouds parted
Sadness passed though darkly
And my melancholy ground
...

Starlings shrill like breaking glass
And moments are lost on the wind
Opportunities for love pass unseen
Unexplored, tears form iterated icicles
...

Two twists of pepper
A pinch of salt
Adrienne Barbeau and life is good
Funny movies on a quiet day
...

Flowers and mysteries plucked in spring
Daughters and fairies flow and sing
Light pours like wine
Grass rises to catch your step
...

Le Demoiselles de Avignon
Formed in a mind in many places
Form is lost and misplaced
Trapped and formless like cut flowers
...

2 cubes in a glass of water
Slipping by each other
Blind to the world
Trapped in this glass
...

3 flies took my measure
Around my thumb
As children play
Heads up turned to a sky more shore and sea
...
