THAT BLACK SUN

That black sun

Painted carved
A map in my skin
A dazzling blinding
From inner and even within luminosity
To show the borrowed power by cosmos

I a naive creature
While washing in love
I have sprinkled others
With the blessed paradise waters
So they may lately curse
Me and only me
OBSCURE PAINTER

I have slept in graveyards

Between two tombs
I started to count the stars
Waiting to percept any soul
That I may lately paint
With the blood of pigeon sprinkled
In a magnetic and invisible canvas
To disperse all around
Throughout aether
YOU

You kiss my tear

And stamp my existence

I kiss you and melt

In God’s essence
OUR PARADISE

Just now I understand the old illusion

Since I lived in the coenobium of my egos
With you my soul is easier
With you is even different
Because the map in my skin shows
A path that leads us to paradise
And we... we even do not dream and why should we?
When you give me the amber taste in my mouth
You wash my emerald accoutrement
With you I cross the macadam of giant pearls
With the emerald grass in between
And where are plenty of white roses
Which with dedication are keeping our secret?
And this
Of course this for us is sufficient
