These are the poems I published on the International Library of Poetry website and they are also published in Secrets, Dreams & Other Fantasies poetry book

Fallen

On that night of crying tears,
She shared with me all her fears
Before she could disappear.
Silent for so many years,
Her soft voice I can still hear.

"You can't see behind the mask?"
To the stormy sky she asked.
"And leave me here where I stand
Far from my motherland?"
Here take hold of my hand.

'Til there's nothing left to try,
Your life shorter than a sigh
It's just a fool's lullaby.
For her soul sometimes I cry
Where did you go? Tell me why.


Fire & Ice

When darkness is back the dream's the same,
Still haunted by this stranger with no name
And this wild fire that cannot be tamed.

Feelings that seem to have no end at all,
They make me wonder or make me crawl
But give no answer when I call.

All this time you leave me here burning
Under the blazing sun, daydreaming
Until I wish for the misty morning.

The cold wind knew I wouldn't lie to you
I could watch the snow fall and be amused
Until I realized I could be bruised.


Sea Jewel

for my late aunt Helene

 

From the angels high
To the hounds of Hell
They could hear her sigh
As they ring the bell.

I could see her there
Where Artemis chased
Or Ophelia fair,
Yet so full of grace.

I could see her face
In her secret place
Too long gone to be saved
To me smiled and waved.

Dancing in the well
Like a sweet immortelle,
Leaving us dazzled
Like a wave in the sand.


Wanderer

I flew high on the morning wing
Under the hazy cloak of spring
I've been alone and wandering
On the path of a summer wind.

I walked through the savage garden
Singing with the moving ocean
Where I forgot what was broken
Where innocent souls were hidden.

I roamed beyond earthly shadows
Where many a thought loudly echoes
I drifted between laugh and woe
Under the sweet cover of snow.

Then I woke up to discover
My life was a perfect stranger
Where my dreams flow so much louder
Than the tidal roar of thunder.
