When I came to
the end of the world
my mind was ready
to let go of
...

Some people come to this world
for a purpose,
to accomplish a task,
and when its done
...

Two chili plants
With identical origins
They are of the same kind
...

Carrying the cross
To the top of Calvary
Was a humiliation enough
To compensate for
...

Dreams and memories
collected and bundled together
lie under and around headstones that stand
to scar the earth at random intervals.
...

I have given up
everything I held dear
but it was not
renunciation
...

Come, be with me
Don’t say a word

Just be in front of me
...

Your cooking is great
I told you once
you offered to teach me
because you love me
...

I couldn’t take your hand
we couldn’t make family
we couldn’t even say
we love each other but
...

Eyes that keep
waiting the day
can only weep
in sleepless cold night
...

I am a traveler
traveling alone
itinerary is not mine
planning is not mine
...

Evening sky
full of stars,
clouds, blue SPACE
space, of course
...

Life swings
Following the
Incessant movement
Of the mind,
...

In the Green pastures that run
Over mountain tops
Along valleys and plains
Adorning the earth
...

Just got intoxicated
Looking into your eyes
I am not a drunkard
...

To bring a soothing breeze
From nowhere to
Make my heart smile
...

When the cold of night
intensifies the melancholic desolation
time walks very slowly,
pinfully slowly
...

Certificates,
Diplomas,
Credentials
and
...

What are you folks Discussing?
As we normally believe
crows do, only talk about
the next meal,
...

Far far away
the horizon gradually
loses its splendor
resisting reluctance not to.
