Angel loan

She filled my days
She came to me lent by angels
never to be mine,
a loan of lively hope

Of this heavenly gift
I have no words to portray
young girl, young lady, young woman
time went by like a lightning ray

It seems like yesterday
when I heard her sing, only once
she was embarrassed, I was proud
mosaic memories of her smile

when she turned fifteen
I taught her how to drive
I was a nervous wreck
But her laughter eased my fears

she used to dance with a silly face
swinging her hips like “I told you so”
Her laughter soothed my doubts
And in those moments my troubles were gone

Now she is grown
opening her wings preparing to fly
she will go to someone else’s land
and then, in silence
watching the moon,
I will hear her laughs in my soul
for she is an angel on loan

For you

For you I could try to tame the words,
and let a poem grow.
Take a piece of my mind and let you go,
but you will always be in my heart.
Pretty blue eyes.
There is a place for us,
---------- It is where our dream grows,
----- Nobody can take that hope
---- As long as we can feel love

JEALOUSY

It has not been too long, years

since I was overwhelmed with jealousy

I thought I had it buried

where all desires go to die.

Who is able to love quietly,

silent hands and peacefully,

without been wrapped in stealth

helpless to sleep, or at least, rest?

I Silently yell those questions

that not even the echo wants to hear;

maybe you want to listen to

or maybe they get lost among the stars.

As I don’t receive an answer

or know of your whereabouts,

my soul departs willing

to look for you in the estuaries,

prairies, woods, wherever.

Not knowing what you do

gives me this mild grief

trapping me in that insomnia

where I can’t control my jealousy

DOUBLE DARE

It’s a double dare, distance and your eyes

It’s a double sight, what happened and what will be

It’s a double dream, remembering you and hope

It’s the pleasure of the sea caught in your eyes

Standing there and watching you walk

Palm trees bowing as you went by

The shinning of your smile and the hasting of my lips

The breeze caressing your face, the sand under your feet

And under the whirls of your hair a story just for me

Things you said and did a gift of mine

Time in the sleepy shores with your smile

Where I left my heart lost in time

Things I said I didn’t understand

Less understood the things you reply

But in my soul real feelings were on a flight

And forever burning in the mist of longing for

The defiance of whatever was not

and those moments getting lost

Dolanne’s melody ringing in my soul

The sight of staring beyond my control

The double dare of making you my goal

LET ME BE

I can write you poems and imagine you are with me

And I’m ready to pay the fee so I can find the proem

To describe the notion of how deep I really feel

For years has been sealed, now? Resurrection

I can tame my anxiety, and take the wind as my accomplice

That is all my avarice, and I will tune my heart in such variety

That I will find the way to love you even though I know

Distance far away has taken the possibility to go on

Even if you do not love me so, I will take the stars

To compare them to you eyes, and be content though

Knowing that you are more beautiful than the sky

And that is a wondrous sight above all

It is not that is ok, to think about you every day

It is not that I am here and you are there or that I am afraid

About not meeting you ever again, this is a bane

It is not about then, it is about what my feelings contain

The difference

If only I knew

The difference

You said “I like you”

I said “I love you”

Both meant the same thing

You said “Let us not take it serious”

I thought “I’m serious about this”

Both meant the same thing

I wanted to be romantic

You wanted to have fun

Both were the same thing

But I did not know the difference
