DAY BY DAY
This is the way I am living this love
Hiding itself in fear of dying,
Keeping occult this inner passion,
Going in silence day by day,
Day by day your memories caress me,
Day by day I live this life,
I would like sometimes to die…
painful doubts in my mind,
Time goes by,
Day by day, hiding my pain,
Keeping this wound open,
Living this tragic dream
Day by day this journey continues,
Leaving behind time and love,
Memories of your body and soul;
I would like to surrender….
I keep this time in my mind,
Your caressing, my illusions
I dream of having you with me
Knowing you are not
Alvaro
SOME DAY
Some day after the war
If there is such a day,
I will make love to you….
And hold you in my arms
Some day after the war
If I still have arms and heart left,
I will make love to you,
Some day, if I am alive then.
Some day after this war
I will think of you,
If I have a mind left to think,
Some day after the war.

Final Rest
Like the celebrated lion in winter
Restless, hungry, tense,
I revolve around my cave
Looking for the warmth of your love
Distant I hear the sound of people
Cries, laugh, human noise,
I realize though frail and vulnerable
I still belong to them
The universe continues to expand
Stars and the moon smile and shine
The night is cold as your image
Memories send shivers through my soul
Ups and downs pursuit my life
The concept of final rest invades me,
Feel like going into the infinite
To another place, another life,
Then perhaps
