STRANGER
In what dream
did I see you
and did I preserve
your surprised gaze,
and that endless
silence
that steals my
dream
every night,
and breaks my heart
and breaks my arms
and seals my lips
so that I don’t
scream,
so that I don’t invite
you
in long
and purple nights
full of longing.
I want to touch your hair.
PEACE
I feel a peace
in the motion of thought
and this night is blazing
and the light dissolves
in the colors if unexpected love.
It glows in the eyes
burned by the stars
I call silence by your name
and a smile of desire
In carrying to the morning blue.
I wash myself with dew
to kiss a new day
and rejoicing in the sun.
and cover your eyes
with my palms
to surprise you
on some blue mornings
with a smile that
conquers and wins.
