...E C L I P S E...

He didn't care about nothing

but he wanted it all,

He dragged me into the holy war

and snatched my hate away.

There is sunset in the plenty day

with a black moon

and clouds of stigma,

his steps over my land

and and his contempt without exit.

In the haze undone

his gaze is poking;

It is lifeless goodbye 

It is trap of gold;

consummate vigil

into the color of those eyes.

It's not afternoon, It's not night,

It's not day or tomorrow,

there is no blood in the car

of the battered woman.

Whispers are falling

as incomplete rain,

palpitations of meat

from homicide on the planet.

Over me, over him,

Eclipse's revenge;

under his feet:

fear of matrices.

Who prays for him

as buried star,

crying more than that time,

while she was crucified?

It is the eclipse of an angel and a devil

stealing light from forces,

walking on the steps of boyfriend,

pursuing an agonizing truce.

Poems tribute to Michael Jackson II: We Had Him

Now is the turn of Dr. Maya Angelou. She is a well-known american writter, activist and singer, who died in 2014. She decided to show her respect and admiration for Michael sending a poem about his passing to be read in the Memorial that had place at Staples Center in 2009. It was a very emotional moment and today I divulgate this wonderful poem.

Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing

Now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace

Sing our songs among the stars and and walk our dances across the face of the moon

In the instant we learn that Michael is gone we know nothing

No clocks can tell our time and no oceans can rush our tides

With the abrupt absence of our treasure

Though we our many, each of us is achingly alone

Piercingly alone

Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him

He came to us from the Creator, trailing creativity in abundance

Despite the anguish of life he was sheathed in mother love and family love and survived and did not more than that

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style

We had him

Whether we knew who he was or did not know, he was our’s and we were his

We had him

Beautiful, delighting our eyes

He raked his hat slant over his brow and took a pose on his toes for all of us and we laughed and stomped our feet for him

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing

He gave us all he had been given

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana’s Blackstar Square, in Johannesburg, in Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham England, we are missing Michael Jackson

But we do know that we had him

And we are the world.

Serenity

(After the pain, regret and screaming
of a failed trap about the family dinner,
after the sunshine braking the dark spirits, 
after the untold promises under the 9th cloud,
after the average man who hid average secrets,
after the storm explotions that froze our coffee,
after the sad smile you melted into my dirty eyes 
                                                           
                                                  always there is a place in your heart to lay in peace...) 

Feel the breathe, the sky opening the power of colors.

Exclusive poem in Blogger

Up coming Book 2014: "Heaven" is ready for pre-order

"Heaven" is my most recent work, and has attached my soul and very own passion for poetry and creating worlds through words.

Verses start soft and slow with First Abyss, and get rhythmic, atypical and disturbing in Air Collection, to end in the grand denouement, where the poetry starts to find a way out in the middle of despair, and opens the sky with the force of the words in the final segment called The Train.

Don't miss this unforgettable piece of Literature for your collection of ebooks, a high quality text that will surely sound with echo in your head and heart.

Pre-order your copy now in Amazon, only for US$2.99 1.99 !! and before you imagine this book will certainly catch your eyes in a spiral of emotions.
