THUS
Thus
I discovered a universe
small, dispersed
was in pain and trapped.
Thus
almost by accident
music I painted
the silence helped me.
And so
without any remorse
my verse changed
AUGUST
Breathe a star
when you feel like summer
in the most beautiful air
scent of peace.
Listen to your sky
when it’s incessant rain.
Breathe in that sunrise
while you’re waiting for a star
MY DREAM
I’ll be writing to you soon.
We’ll follow your soul
but I’ve lost mine
who, because of the haste, has slipped.
I touched your gaze
who has been alive for a long time now
in my dreams
the much-coveted Verse.
