NEARING CHILE...

I feel you coming

that moment...

when I see the sun

appear over the mountains

as when I was a child.....

That moment

when I step on my land

and smell the aroma....

When I look at the faces of everyone

and see my race, my eyes, my smile....

That moment

when I embrace

those I love

when I laugh

when I call my friends

when I drive thru my city....

When I listen to my music

when I am called

to tea time!!

I feel you near....

LIKE A CONDOR...

I want to fly like a condor...free

with the blue sky around me

looking at the beauty of my land.....

Gliding silently

among the mountains

clear lakes reflecting me

landing on the hilltops

feeling the wind caressing me

and with ancient eyes

look at the dawn....

A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT ...

A midsummer's night

I will climb up

looking from up high

at Santiago's lights....

I will sit in the dark

to fill my pupils

with the beauty

of her nights.....

Rivers of golden lights

cross you

my hometown....

Place full of memories

of joys and sorrows

back today

to see you

come and wait for me.....

I am almost there

and soon we

will be together....

Years pass ... the outside changes
our eyes sink, hide
after all they saw ...
Our mouth, slowly loses the
smile but we do not know
the rictus of age one day surprise us ...
Changed on the outside ...
in our hair, they appear
silver threads
and our walk ...slows ...
The tenderness of the grandchildren
wards off loneliness, protects us
and we feel safe there, as
grandmothers, and without needing
to be more than that ...
But fate is playful
has plans of it's own
Our plans are not important...
And suddenly you're a guitar
in the hands of a virtuoso
and sing again
beautiful, young, free
with the melody of love
enveloping you....
and fully feel the kiss of desire
returning to your skin ....

A KISS IN THE WIND...

Last night, I went out to the terrace .. .. it was cold ...
the stars shone beautiful in the night sky...
my warm breath you could see in the air
and I fell in love with Venus ....
I thought of you .. so far away from me
sleeping in your warm summer night
oblivious to my thoughts ...
And here, in the north of the old planet
with snow on the pines that surround
the island ... you sent you a kiss
floating in the wind going south ....

LOVING

I close my eyes and smile, remembering your words,

even feeling your breath on my skin....

As a sandy path, soft and warm

through me up to the sea

you were filled by my

seaside scent.....

Your hands touched me in the distance,

stroking my body,

discovering my secrets...

And your lips kissed me thru time

long and sweet kisses

full of tenderness.....

Slowly without words

gazing each other

we danced the magic

music of love......

Your taste and mine

your skin and mine

your sighs and mine

in the eternal night

never to be forgotten....

You and I

through the threshold

holding hands

smiling at the sunset

awaiting us.....

I NEED YOU NEAR...

I need you near

your words

are recorded in my mind

I repeat them while

I think of you...so far away...

While you sleep

in the south of the old planet

I smile thinking

of that sunset we

have planned...

How it will be to gaze at you

how our first hug will feel

how it will be when we laugh

when we sing

when we share so many

things we yearn to tell....

We have lived so much lile

We have been in the same places

but in a different time....

It saddens me to know you so late in life

but I know how

valuable things

take time in arrive...

Our friendship is cute

we communicate

in this virtual world

slowly opening

the door we had closed

tired of sorrows

thinking it would be

forever....

But the surprising love

unexpected arrival

is like spring

appears one morning

full of flowers

to remind us

there is hope yet.....

Thank you my sweet friend

for the beautiful moments

you have given me.....
