MOUNTAINS
Tell me mountain of my heart
What stories you have
What secrets you keep
How much love you have seen,
Oh… tell me mountain of my youth
What lies beneath your snowy cap?
Have you seen me when I was a child?
Did you see me strong and passionate?
Many tragedies you witnessed
days of romance ,
Nights of full moon and love
Times of storms…
Today with snow on my temples
I remember you my mountain,
You gave me a feeling of belonging
Humbleness and courage…
I salute you from the distance,
Wishing one more time
To have the strength I learned from you,
Peaceful honest heart and soul
I long to visit your hillside
To lie under the shadow of your trees,
Fly with the birds to the top
Free, free forever……Alvaro 3/14/01
THE CANVAS OF MY SOUL
Despiteful yellows, warm fuscia,
And the sweet blue of your eyes,
There have been gray tones to my life,
Dark and black days……..
My soul has moved
Into the green and blue jungle of my life
It has claimed ecstasy
at the white peaks of mountains in my land
Canvas of my soul
The canvas of my soul
Has many colors,
Passionate reds
Calm and soothing greens
It has screamed with pain, anguish and despair,
It has felt my flesh…….my agony, my joy,
Has laughed like thunder cringed by the mere thought
Of you being away………
My soul has seen all shades,
The rainbow of my life extends to all horizons
Wherever you look, I will be there full of colors,
Full of love ,with crayons for you…………..

O THIS LOVE
Went away with the wind
It was so great
So little left now
Oh this love as beautiful as a butterfly
So much poetry
All illusions now and then
Lost in the wind…
Dreams and unforgettable feelings,
Nights, and so many nice mornings
Crazy at times
Oh! This love…
But wind and time made our smiles bitter
The winds were hard,
Storms arrived
Oh this love went with the wind
Whenever a warm breeze caresses my skin
I remember this love
Still flying with the wind
Oh! this love…………
Alvaro
