guillermo veloso Poems

In the loss of love
There is a slow murder
In silences
There is a sad hue
...

Left alone to play in the rain
I kissed her tonight
As she dreamt
Her voice stared across the dream
...

You are the deity
And I the supplicant
You are the mystery and I
The believer
...

In the dark, scotch in hand
Muscle memory
Memory muscle
The freedom of age
...

I buried this romance today
Deep in the graveyard of my bones
I carried the corpse in my dream-draped memory / stiff and dressed in Sunday best
It was illusion after all
...

I'm waiting
Here
Like Penelope awaiting
The wanderer
...

Deep where there
Are no mirrors
Where there are no
Echoes
...

Te mando una rosa
Sin forma
Sin perfume
Solo tiene envuelto en sus
...

Enjoy these last blooms;
Drips of light
For summer is a
Fair weather friend
...

The bramble of her dark hair
Hides a gypsy faerie
Her duende
Full of violins
...
