A Journey to Eternity
​
The agony is over
of looking for you in the emptiness
the paths disolve in time
Yes, it was yesterdays,
and it seems like years
Now I ask myself - Who are you?
If I never knew you,
I took your body, I enjoyed...
but where were you
I though I loved you, I suffered,
I went crazy
I tired my mind out
but the silence
and the loneliness,
transported me to other levels
and I started to find myself,
as if a new mind took over to replace
my mind which was not well
as if this new mind came accompanied
by harmony, balance and rhythm,
centered in me,
Just like a painter
gives shape to his painting
Now my mind is busy transmitting
colors and strokes to fill the happiness
so much yearned for
I traveled to my inner world
and I found peace
I am not alone anymore
I am in harmony
I reached the path that leads to eternity
Do you know
​
Do you know,
How deep your tenderness has
reached my soul?
Do you know?
How you filled with love the inmensity
of my sadness?
Like rose petals they entered
like wild bulls to save me
from the pain
of my hurt soul
​Do you know?
the hope you've left me with?
I want to live to shake away
the hours of sadness
I want to love you as big as time
Oh! woman my friend,
I want to ride trough space
with my mind,
to give you the sweetness of my love,
my aching love
Do you know?
I am happy just to love you

The look in your eyes
shows loneliness and sadness
I am sad too, but I love you
My heart grows fond at the sight of your face,
your figure, your youth,
your harmony and elegance
Everyday, time stays still,
I long for your hidden love
I love you on the sunset of my life
You are my muse, my landscape,
nature at its purest
You are the breeze of my Andean Mountains
The come and go of the waves on the ocean shore
You are the sunset of the most beautiful twilight
I see you from my window
You are the illusion of the love
that I have waited for so long
I am happy you are my life...
A poem for you
​
The colour of your skin
Reminds me of the lost love
lost and floating on the sea
by the islands
in the inmense pacific
Love, illusion and the
greatest of all was born:
pain
Desperate pain as big
as the ocean and my sadness
The colour of your skin
reminds me of sweetness,
madness, desire,
the music of the waves
darkness and silence of the nights,
the tenderness,
the softness of your body
How could I forget the colour
of your skin?
