The Leaf and The Earth

I am a golden, fallen leaf,
happy to kiss the sole of your barefoot,
I am a subtle, pretty thief,
I will lay there I’ll stay put,

I bathed your eyes in beauty,
I vanished, to be born in the love I have for you,
I am a hot redheaded cutie,
In love with your hair greys blue.

………………………………………………

I am the dry, thirsty earth,
happy to take your kisses and hide them inside me,
Precious seeds to immortal mirth,
busting out and getting free.

The woven of light
falls apart through the gray, heavy clouds,
Prepared to say good night
on a corner of the sky, a star makes its nest away from crowds.

Dying little by little,
we are advancing towards Life,
under the spell of the forest’s whistle,
the leaf and the earth, a husband and a wife.

Autumn’s Sonnet

The winds blow lightly in the silence,
It's raining with sad leaves in quiet tears,
Lost rays dream of light, hot impatience,
Upper tired branches slowly break their fears.

It's autumn. Hopes are dash in the dark fog,
Colors fade, and the pink flowers die,
The moonlight disappears in choking smog,
I began to roar I began to cry,

I choose to sing together with the wind,
To cry with the golden leaves through the rain,
To embrace a ray of light, to be kind,
To feel the great sadness and flower's pain.

It's autumn, from her wealth of hopes we reap,
A new time to laugh, a new time to weep.

The Autumn Of My Life

The rusty light scatters in the rising winds,
Hills and valleys clothed in gold are smiling,
The crazy leaves are dancing as they lost their minds,
Over the orchards and vineyards, birds are flying.

The perfume from the winepress intoxicates me,
And it lifts me on the shore of dreams,
My whole being, stained by love shouts I’m free,
Flames, poems, and songs overflow from my chest in streams.

Rains of happiness blossom in my heart,
And in the autumn of my life, it's spring again,
The dry branches, watered by love have a new start,
I’m a new man I’m a new man!

The earth got dirty with small drops of stars,
The fall’s living carpet has laid,
I walk toward eternity forgetting all my scars,
The colors of the flower slowly fade.

A tear descends from the eyelash of a cloud,
A ray of hope to the groaning valley,
The heavens watch me, I am proud
as I approach The Grand Finale.

The Sweet Flavor of Love’s Fruit

I had some butterfly in my stomach,
At the thought of holding her by hand,
I saw her from the distance, coming,
Until today I cannot understand,

How could she like a kid like me,
I smelled her hair and felt her breath,
I hid fast my bruised knee,
And waited patiently for my death,

It was a Spring day, end of May,
Her cheeks were red like poppy flowers,
I whispered slowly, scared, please stay,
I hold her hand and talked for hours.

I sipped her words that flew like birds,
I dreamt of making her stop,
I wished my words to touch her words,
Together dripping drop by drop.

I finally took courage I was bold,
For a split second, she was mute,
I think I was five years old,
I tasted the sweet flavor of love’s fruit.
