Venice's Sunset

There is nothing we can do for those lost years; and there is no tomorrow.

We were bound to this state; We stole time from Venice's Sunshine, tieded to bridge after bridge.
We walked Venice...

We were able to love, in an infant past, planted in the fields that were ours, for hundreds of images; until a moment arrived before the Sunset in Venice; in one ill fated moment, past entered like a bold thief through a glance; as the present flew out through a single turn of your body.

The writer continues to write his narratives:  We have returned...

The Persistence of Memory

This city, like a string drawn between yesterday and tomorrow, you know all you have lost and left behind.
You cannot see what lies ahead clearly.
But a horizontal gravity thrusts you into the thick of tomorrow, to an enchanting unknown in an unfinished poem you are about to begin.
Then it will take charge of its course.

People called me a dreamer when I said that there is a type of love; stretched from dream to reality...

A Dream In Black & White

all I've ever done is dream

I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer

even in a dream of black and white - is full of poetry

Sweet Avila

The writer José Martínez Ruiz, in his book El alma castellana (The Castilian Soul), described it as "perhaps the most 16th century city in Spain", and it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Avila loves me...  :)

Sweet Avila II ~ Memory

remembering is the absent chatting with the absent.

the distance turning toward the distance.

love allows distance to recede,

as if looking into a poetic dream;

listening intently to one sound only:

the sound of the wind.

perhaps...remembering is the sound of the wind.

A Lost Story

When I look at the sky - I see a history

The history isn't on page anymore

Once a story tried to tell gets lost

The Light Shines Through History

The Monastery of Batalha was built in 1385, is One of the UNESCO  world heritage Site, a Dominican convent in the civil parish of Batalha, central region of Portugal. 

It is one of the best and original examples of Late Gothic architecture in the world.

Encountering this church was a very precious experience I had with Portugal.
Thanks again, Belita  :)

All That I Dream

When God acts and history is made

The rest is flesh whose dust

The earth awaits
