POEMS

By Osvaldo Carnero

UNSAID

Who could manage to grasp

thoughts and feelings, side by side?

Who could open his own soul

in just one single word?

A word which, unsaid,

still means a lot...

A word that you fear utter...

...'cause the unsaid remains intangible.

...'cause you dare not touch

the very raw stuff of all dreams...

...'cause you fear that, saying it,

you might just spoil the spell...

...'cause you fear that, using it,

you might cut down its value...

...'cause even a stubborn realist

may, at times, be haunted by magic...

I say farewell to all fears:

My sweetie, I say, "I love you !"

INFINITE

Spring of life, blossoming,

Your vessel docked unerring

My garden came to full bloom

Singing the song of joy

Thankful I am to Life

'cause Life trusted onto me

The most precious treasure of all.

In real flesh you were, no fairy

Unerring too, our desire

Unequivocal need, a magic call

A call for oneness, you and me

A subtle thread

Silently tying us, for good

Filling hitherto empty space with spell.

The winds of Spring

Cupid's playful dart

Life's joyful call

Swung a winged bridge

Connecting body and soul

In order to play de Hymn:

The eternal play of Love!

Spring and Summer, side by side,

Singing a song of Happiness

In love they are...

In an unknown corner of the Universe

In the midst of the Void, and of Time,

Mere star dust... not more than that

That's what we are, my beloved,

You and me...
