This is one of my poems
Death
The moment sprouts wings
A drowsy instant born out of the ashes of eternity
Put your finger on the pulse
The echo of an unfinished cry hangs at the gallows
Glance at the blood-splattered horizon
The wound is dreaming of a bird's song and a raindrop
Blow out the candle and lie down
Feel your sorrow-swollen pillow yearning to burst
Like the last breath of a drowning man
Distant seas whispering
Cadaverous stars winking at each other
Trees tall as nightmares laden with silences
Waterfalls heavy like funerals crashing in a void
O the faint whimpers of a virgin
The quick transformations of a snowflake
The limpid tear on angel's cheek
The clock hastening its steps
The moment growing paler by the stillness of a god's gestures
The heartbeats of words break free vanishing in air like wintery sparks
The slaughtered dream of a seagull on the rocks spills onto water fine threads of coral
Everything is touched by the unknown
Dreams of birds
Silences of trees
Tears of angels
Funerals of water
Minutes of oblivion
Breaths of seas
Torments of rocks
Corals strangling disenchanted fish
Falling leaves battering an aging sparrow underneath
Full cold raindrops lashing at the windowpanes of the heart
The astonished eyes of fish
The muffled groans of a sparrow
The creaking glass of heart
And death
An archangel
Cloaked in silvery moonlight
Lays sprawled on the palm tree fronds
A passing star casts its shadow across his forehand
He smiled and off he flew.
