Portuguese man-o-war
Who are we, lost in the vastness?
Sailing on seas without a compass.
From the first moment, the first breath.
In a labyrinth of doubts and shadows.
Wandering souls in search of meaning.
We cling to the intangible.
Desperate for answers,
in an indifferent and silent world.
Days drag on and nights collapse
in a relentless cycle of uncertainty.
We scream into the void, crying out for direction
but the echo is all that returns to us.
Heavy hearts and exhausted minds.
We walk among the ruins of...

Uncrossing
Silent screams on the asphalt,
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.

Dressing for the ball
diagonally in time
moments crossed
poorly lit
in the alleys
around corners
in the depths of darkness
elephants
that no one sees
because they are so white
the elephants
and its sinister frankness
................... gray
the elephants
with its immense
difficulty
In folding napkins
and plucking their eyebrows
in the darkness...

Crystal clarity
In glass, a pure reflection
Warmth in cold embrace.

The false pretenses campaign
Natural men, in their awkward majesty,
descend to the lushly absurd fields of paradise,
where the spectral line of sports begins.
A peculiar ballet of limbs,
an odd assortment of sinew,
unfolds like a grotesque tapestry.
Under the surreal sun, their bodies,
partially symbiotic, partially independent,
contort and stretch in clumsy elegance.
The air thick with the irony of sweat and flowers,
a collision of the primal and the sublime.
Grunts echo like misplaced sonnets,
as they engage in the bizarre...

A big hug to beloved 20 poets I follow
In the quiet moments of reflection, I find myself transported to a realm of pure joy and contentment, all thanks to the profound words of 20 poets. Their written wonders have woven a tapestry of emotions that resonate deeply within my soul. Each verse, a delicate brushstroke, paints vivid landscapes of beauty and serenity, guiding me to a place where happiness flourishes.
Through their poetry, I have discovered a sanctuary of peace, where the chaos of the world fades away, and only the essence of bliss remains. Their words have become a beacon of light, illuminating the path to...

Reflection of headlights in the dog's eyes
There's nothing like walking the dog
on the Dia de los Muertos
where the veils between the worlds
are thin and the air is thick with the smell
of marigolds and incense.
In the twilight of life and death
the shadows dance and the whispers
of those who left echo through the night.
In this sacred moment
the living honor the dead
with altars decorated in vibrant tones
candles flickering like souls in the wind.
To be taken away on a night like that
is to be embraced by the unknown
feel the cold kiss of...

Entropy is a Planet in the Galaxy of Hypnosis
In the quiet embrace of countless worlds
where peace is the gentle heartbeat of existence
and love is the light that guides every soul,
there is a song of life, pure and unbroken.
There, hearts beat in harmonious rhythms,
each pulse a testament to boundless joy
where the essence of being is celebrated
and the beauty of existence is a given.
No shadows of regret linger in these realms,
where every day is a canvas of possibility,
painted with the colors of compassion and hope
and the air is filled with the whispers of...
