Steps

Steps,

slow steps,

Vague steps,

Flying steps,

looking for reassuring glances.

Eyes full of emotion,

and warm tender light.

Hands,

smiles,

games.

Tense steps,

 uncertain steps,

threatening steps,

elegant and diplomatic steps.

First steps,

Last steps,

firm and incessant.

Step by step,

small steps,

big steps

that trace our path.

Steps …

Summer (Stay you here)

Stay you here

savoring love

immortals frames

of memory.

Breezes in the morning

imbued with hopes

between barges of lives

broken and united

by agitating wire

in the mysterious sea.

Stay you here

between bikinis and shreds

in tsunamis that shake

throwing the keys into the abyss.

Season of love at first sight

and carefree thoughts.

Summer (Stay you here)

between majestic sails

on rusted sterns,

friendly and enemy guides

under an overcast sky

of earthly stars.

"A" LETTER

Love, Friendship, Soul

I’m strugging

with peaceful chords

and then I’ll include moments

always armed

and definitely loving.

Ancient art:

Love,

Friendship.

Drawing soul,

Hearts

On…  and on!

Gasping for breath,

recruiting,

relying on

instead of losing your heart.

Oh my soul!

Arduous actions again,

you venture

just getting rough instants.

On… and go on!

Embracing one another.

Stars warning,

standing angels,

are waiting for dawns

and taste arts eager for them.

Others assiduously sleeping

So I’m opening arches

Let’s go! .. Just let’s go!

I’m adding boards

shaking other  Hearts.
