Fingers Of Eternity
Enrichment
Her femme fatale’s smell
Is a trickery addition
To my personal
History.
Lust
The sea rises to her nudity,
My arms fall
And autumn continues
Benevolence
I pity myself
For my worries
Whenever I watch the masses
Relaxed walking
Towards the ultimate End.
Sisyphus
Again
I’ll climb
The summit of deside.
Question
The falls I have had to avoid,
Are they my only way
Out of this seizure?
Lighten
All distant secrets
Exist
In the awakening
Of the body.
Sublimity
Desires,
Which plough my body
Are taking me up
Towards Nirvana.
Refuge
She is the only window
In a wall of the others.
Similarity
The darkness,
-Which engulfs the universe-
Knows there is no difference
Between my body
And the neighbouring stone.
Fear
Those faces
That fall across the open path
Through the crowd
Can’t hide the fears
Of losing their identity.
(...)
No direction
Leads
To my forthcoming
Desire.
Truth
Happily I will depart this world
If I knew
It is not happening for me.
Ignorance
Sinking in its own limits,
My body
Never knew
Of my secret jumps.
Discretion
The girl
Who creeps
Through the secrets of my fingers
Didn’t tell me
Any of them.
Camouflage
Names of objects
Extinguish their existence
And defeat
My hard questions.
Halo
The cold night
-Waiting for me-
Is lifting up
All haloes
Over her hot curves.
Liberation
Desires
That extinguished my ego
Has salvaged me.
Snare
In Quixote’s certainty
I carry on waiting
For
That Poem
Which leads
Eternity
Into my snare.
Eternity
Gilgamesh*
Who lost his Eternity Grass
Never understood
That NOW means
Eternity.
* In Sumerian Mythology, Gilgamesh who was the son of goddess and a mortal hero went to look for the Grass of Eternity at the bottom of the sea and found it. On his way back to his home he stopped to bath in a stream, and a serpent, which had been attracted by the scent of the magic plant, ate it. Gilgamesh was thus stripped of immortality.
