Miscellaneous
I am what I am
I would have been your shadow,
The echo of your word,
The kisses where your kisses
They will leave stars nailed .
It would have been silence
Where you would rest
With your dark circles of oblivion,
So mine, so alone, far away.
It would have been space,
The sky that you passed through;
And in the blue of my chest
May your wings be blue.
It would have been the wait,
It would have been distance;
A round horizon,
Past, present, tomorrow.
But I am no more than what I am,
A breath of your breeze.
Moon in the sea, wanting catch
The foam of your laughter.
A song
Absent in your voice,
A lullaby.
Faithful to my cross,
Beggar of light,
Path of mist.
It would have been the path
In which your step left,
Heading to who knows where
Your sorrowful absence, recorded.
But I am not more than what I am,
A breath of your breeze.
Moon in the sea, wanting to catch
The foam of your laughter.
A song
Uusente in your voice,
A lullaby.
Faithful to my cross,
Beggar of light,
Path of mist.
