We see faces

We see faces

We see faces

We see people

We only see them

But they aren’t faces

They aren’t people

They are experiences

They are tears

They are joy

They are secrets

They are life.

We see eyes

We see them

Staring at us

They aren’t eyes

They aren’t staring

They are doors to light

They are our path to God.

We see children

We see them play

They aren’t children

They aren’t playing

They are elder spirits

Teaching us patience

Showing us our old world

From their new perspective

Where we no longer need to see

We will start to perceive

Once we open our heart

To a new beginning.

Steal Time

Steal Time

Time goes by so fast
It steals my beauty
It steals my life

Time goes by so fast
It steals my innocence
It steals my smile

I want to stop time tonight
And meet you
In the past.

Evolution

Evolution

Restore me God
Resurrection took place
I evolved
From water
To the sky
Here I go
Thank you God

I was once a cell
Now I am the universe
I am one existence

One from the water
Now to the sky
I left once my space
My sea salt
To clouds of wonders
Infinite of options
Concentrated in just
One big unity

The idea of unison
Comes to my mind
From collective ideas old and new
From decades ago
From decades yet to come

To the same concept
Leaving my water
To the sky here I go.

Wind

Wind

I may not be able to offer you a future
Not even a past
Not a thing
Not a day by day
Not a good night kiss
Not even a see you later
But I will be back
I won’t be here hugging you this afternoon
I won’t be having lunch with you tomorrow.

I’m the wind
That goes everywhere
Without permission
I’m a day
A day that was not written in the calendar
A day that was not meant to happen yet
But it happened, I met you already
I’m the no reason yet
I’m the no purpose yet
Let me just kiss you
I just want to spend your time without timing
Without thinking what might happen
I just want to live
I just want to breathe
I want to feel you
And think of you
No set of goals in mind
Just kissing you some other day or night

I’m just the wind,
I’m just the water
I’m just the idea
You once had in your mind
Now transformed into a woman
I’m the one you may imagine some day
I’m probably just not meant to exist, not yet

Icecream for Breakfast

Ice cream for breakfast

Mother Earth, surround me with your love
Destiny, don't be hard on my soul
A tear dropped while I was watching TV
I felt despair when I read the news
I asked God for forgiveness
I begged he would understand
I complained all week about dirty clothes
While a pregnant woman was killed in front of her son!
I wanted to get the latest fashion of Paris
While in Salvador the water destroyed a town
And took a mother’s most valuable treasure
Her four year old boy
It was my ignorance that kept from understanding
There's so much pain out there
There's so little time to realize the value of life
I don't want to waste my time anymore
There will be time for frivolous things
I want to dedicate my afternoon to you
I want to sit down and do nothing
I just want to spend hours staring at you
Staring at my proud family
Staring at my precious friends
I'm sorry for the calls I never returned
Because I was a slave to my own rules
Spending my time on things that will never hug me
Things that will never appreciate my life
It is not so late to start all over this game
To pay no attention to hate
Pay no attention if my clothes don't match
What if one day we all stay home?
What if we eat ice cream for breakfast?
Let's just keep that secret between us
Please promise you will enjoy your life more
Promise me, promise me … please!
I can probably express my feelings
Better than others
I can probably read your mind
By the way you look at the sky
I know you have things to cry over, but you don't
You rather hide them, avoid them
Because there is no time to cry over things
You got to wash your face and keep working
To dress well, to bring food to your table.
Let's be honest to ourselves and clean our souls for once
Let's cry our eyes out and talk to God out loud!
No need to tell me what you told him
Do it at your own pace
I just want to see a smile on your face
Next time I see you around
Alone I can't make a difference
Maybe you can help me
If together we pray
Each of us in our own home
Without knowing each other’s names
We can be fighting to reach the same goal
Something that sounds so unreal
And I will probably won't live to see it
Peace on earth for the generations to come
Don't you dare to lose the faith!

A Writer's Mind

A Writer's Mind

A writer’s mind
Speaks through his hands
Speaking out for the other souls
Oppressed and tired souls
Calling for a writer to save them from silence

A writer’s mind
Takes one word
And finds not only one meaning
As for us life has not only one meaning
It is a multicolor dimension of possibilities

A writer’s mind
Doesn’t understand love
Because there is nothing to understand
There is a flower to smell
A child to hold
A moment to spare
To expect nothing
At least for one moment
In silence
Losing yourself in the majesty of the life
That captures our lives
Captures our spirits
Life will indeed capture your mind
Whereas a writer’s mind
Will capture life itself

And it will make it immortal in one book.

Love

I love you, no reasons

I am afraid my heart
doesn't have a reason
but I love you.

Without permission
without any logic
without economics
without politics
without language
I love you!

without hypocrisy
without set rules
without clothes
without appearances
I love you!


Love knows no limitations. Love is so bright that it turns-on a light of faith through the darkest moments in life. Love is so strong that makes any meekness fade away. Love comes as a seed and finds a home in your heart, but became love is so huge it has to be shared with humanity. The world needs love. Love heals, understands, waits, fights and cries but always stands up and rises like the sun in the sky – that is love.

How many people have been hurt and blame Love? True love doesn't hurt, as it doesn't care for itself but for the other person’s well being. True love will find happiness in the loved one. Love turns mortal beings into immortal ones. Love allows us to think with our souls and leave the body on earth.
Who believes in love, believes in miracles and has seen heaven on earth. Who believes in love has held a new born baby and cried. Those who believe in love can walk through fire and dance with wolves. Love makes us unstoppable, unreachable from evil. Love my dear friends, love makes us transcend matter and see things from another understanding. When we love we fly over mountains looking for a wounded creature to help. Love makes us all heroes.

Love will protect us. Love will guide us. Because of love, no one ever dies, as a loved one will stay in our memory forever and will feel our love even when out of this world. Love is not one’s choice. Love will choose you, and once love touches your life you won't belong to this world anymore, you’ll belong to heaven and you’ll become an angel. Loves will clean your soul and will make you a better person everyday. Love is the most pure energy in the world.
