The Unforgettable Gaze

Love, a wandering vagabond, drifts through the corridors of our lives, donning a thousand faces, each more enigmatic than the last. It merges seamlessly into every scene, a chameleon of emotions, blending into the tapestry of our existence. Yet, amidst this ever-changing masquerade, there exists a singular soul, a beacon of constancy, whose gaze pierces through the veils of disguise. On the winding path of life, it is this soul that offers us that unforgettable look in the eyes, a look that transcends the ephemeral nature of love’s many guises. It is a look that speaks of recognition, of a … Continue reading The Unforgettable Gaze

The Literary Wanderer

In the year 1987, the bus ride was a theater of human emotions, a stage where the mundane met the profound. He, with his honey-rum voice, quoted Bukowski to a blonde girl who mistook his words for the lyrics of a love song. It irked me, perhaps even pissed me off, to witness his earnest recitation met with her vacant stare and hollow laughter. From my seat, two rows behind, I observed them. He pinched her nose playfully, his voice weaving love spells from the great literary minds, while she remained oblivious to the depth of his words. There was … Continue reading The Literary Wanderer

Eternal Love

In your name, I sought to save this disenchanted part of time and distance that resides in me. Today, I bid farewell to the desire to return to my usual places. Here, I detach myself from the life that once dared not know of you. Because in your presence I live, I die only to be reborn, for Love returns us to our entire eternities. If one day I need to return, I will go without ever leaving. Devoted to nights for desires and days for dreams, tomorrow accuses me of telling stories that live in us, but that memories … Continue reading Eternal Love

August something, 2012.

A date that seems to float in the ether, untethered by specifics, yet heavy with meaning. Tonight, you are called to return to yourself, to that pure essence that once existed free from the imprints of others. Imagine a time when you were a child, or perhaps lost in a dream.

The Essence of Bread

Bread, in its humble simplicity, carries within it the essence of life itself. The goodness of bread is a testament to the nourishment it provides, a sustenance that goes beyond mere physical hunger. It is the warmth of a mother’s touch, the comfort of a friend’s embrace, the silent promise of a new day. The smell of bread, fresh from the oven, is an invitation to pause and savor the moment. It is the aroma of home, of love, of memories woven into the fabric of our being. It is the scent that lingers in the air, whispering tales of … Continue reading The Essence of Bread

Force…

The active principle of love is generosity. It is the gentle force that opens hearts, making others feel welcomed, understood, and accepted. In this embrace, love becomes a living entity, thriving in the warmth of shared moments and mutual understanding. Everything that does not reach the other does not exist. It is as if it never breathed, never felt the touch of life. The unspoken words, the unshared feelings, they linger in the shadows, resembling a small death. They are the echoes of what could have been, the silent witnesses to missed connections. Every sensation or feeling that cannot breathe, … Continue reading Force…

August 28, 2014

When it is but it is not love, it masquerades as passion, a fervent flame that consumes rather than warms. Some of us love badly, or perhaps we mistake the intensity for love. This love implodes, folding in on itself, devouring its essence. It turns the sweetest wine into the bitterest poison, misbehaving in the sanctity of shared spaces. It drinks deeply from the well of insecurity, kisses strangers with lips that should be faithful, and returns to your bed at ungodly hours, reeking of the world outside. This love asks about your past, not out of curiosity, but jealousy. … Continue reading August 28, 2014

A Poet’s Journey

When longing no longer found solace in waiting, farewell whispered its silent departure. My body, once a vessel of vibrant life, now stood empty, a hollow shell devoid of its Soul. In this void, I poured my loneliness into words, each syllable a fragment of my solitude. I became an urgent poet, driven by the pain that time had bestowed upon me. Every moment of suffering transformed into verses, each line a testament to the ache that had become my constant companion. Through this pain, I found my voice, a voice that spoke of longing, loss, and the relentless passage … Continue reading A Poet’s Journey
