THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE
man
loves nature
trees
love rain
rain
tenderly takes care
of
the thirsty land,
and
preserves its wonderful
green
colour.
little
rain of my neighbourhood
i
love you every time
i
hear you
‘till
dawn. i feel
peace
and safety.
RENDEZ-VOUS
WITH THE MOON
The
moon showed up magically
lightening
my
backyard revealing
its
hidden and beautiful spots! Suddenly,
the
moon smiles, saying: “I brought you spring,
my
glow sweetens you and blesses
your
warm summer nights”!
The Planet Of The
Miracle
Thank
you my Lord
for
the chance you give me! Thank you, nature
for
having me chosen!
The
moments of my existence wander helplessly for no reason. They express my
feelings
that
are scattered here and there.
I
try to collect their pieces
and
form a transparent picture. New feelings though
dissolve
all previous ones!
I
suffer and seek recklessly their meaning.
My
eyes are not adequate for me to follow
your
magical glow.
I
therefore transform into a strange body so as to be carried away
in
space
through
the colourful planets of the senses,
like
the dolphin that dances the eternal dance of love.
