      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      The Other Side of the Poet - Gilberto Santos

      Absolute

      My absolute truth

      Not always comes with ice

      Or mixed, it can be dry

      And well dosed,

      Or even pure and distilled.

      Some people who drank this truth, went away sad from the drunkenness that was not there.

      The absolute truth may attract, but it can hurt the most unsuspecting and nocturnal of creatures, seeking only a passing and absolute illusion.

      Beauty

      What beauty is this that causes astonishment and strangeness?

      Wouldn’t the beautiful be the most fascinating and concrete of lovers?

      Beauty that confuses, beauty that is unworthy, how many wished for half of its attention amid the crowd.

      Traits that enchant, mermaid that echoes from the sea the most beautiful of songs seducing and killing millions.

      Beauty can be eternal or not, it depends on the question, the only one that does not forgive, fearful medusa, in your eyes I die and eternalize my beauty of stone and dust.

      Dust to which I will one day return.

      Incarceration

      A personality not only makes a person, Several times I had to lie to be several to actually be one.

      But the world does not accept the truth of one, two, three or infinite selves.

      Many masks were used but I lost the mold, I do not know who I am, I only know that I exist inside of me, I am so hidden that I lost the key.

      One day someone finds me in this prison, I don’t want to be found ahead of time, I know that time is wise, forward and backward, I will have my day of release and my writ of emancipation, this slave will smile again, even to show that this incarceration was good in the life that was dubious.

      Letter to heartlessness

      My crazy obsession it starts to sharpen me when I see you, crazy is my desire, I have strong guesses that you don’t exist or maybe can’t accept that life will separate us, I think I lose my limits because without you I am nothing, I got stuck in the act when I tasted your love so scarce.

      If you do not love me it's okay, I can wait a lifetime, beat you tired.

      You love me or I stop following your footsteps, all love is suspended, when love is worth it, we do not die in the eave nor we die in fact.

      Celestial

      O heaven that protects us, why won’t you come down and join your people so noble and in sufferering?

      What blasphemy is this earthly people?

      We celestial beings cannot live in sin much less accept such incumbency.

      Only you learned to dominate hunger, envy, the war between men, pain, vengeance, the rejection between parent and child, we would be killed in the world of the living, lackluster celestials, abominable creatures in an arid land without love.

      Let us be celestial, please, and do what we can and are worth, our peace is justified where there is hope and freshness and not in the earth without mercy and pain.

      Flower

      This flower I bring you is a flower of peace.

      Peace between men and universes, peace between beings.

      The flower I bring is white, but it could be red or blue, sweet or salty, it is actually without texture or smell, it longs to be of peace, it has no thorns, it does not cause pain, it is only flower.

      I have faith that it will be in my favor, it will give the support that I deposit so much in it as a flower.

      Have only joy in receiving it because it already loves you since the day it died from being a garden and becoming only flower, with all my love.

      Crazy

      Crazy in life is to be right,   To think and do what the world wants.

      What I want is to be the goody-goody and be able to come and go in my fantasy of good guy.

      Kill my desires and don’t get caught in the act, admire the beautiful.

      And be sure to never get caught in my unbailable crime.

      My madness is normal,   They are the crazy,

      I am just a great shameless guy.

      Passing

      I look for the intensity of living.

      The moment passes without we even noticing it,

      But lets itself be registered among facts and fotos.

      I love it when I don’t belong in this life anymore,

      Full of ephemeral moments, because if I was or will be one more I don’t want to be there when I pass, just to take a photo for my good keeping, and remember that the moment existed and nothing was inverted or invented, I simply passed by your side...
