There are two books of poems in this site, one composed in Spanish in 2005, dedicated to my sister Ileana Sixto, the source of my original inspiration for writing love poetry.Those poems in Spanish, are full of emotions, sentiments and feelings that have transcended throughout the course of my life. They are not based on a particular person, rather, on several of them. They are a kaleidoscope of my personal life, a love rainbow with tears on the ocean and not rain, as some of the loves were all in vain, love and desillusions, starting again, Oh !!! Life is full of emotions that never, never, go away !!!

Eternity


Eternity,
where has it been?
not even in a dream !!
but now, after all these years,
I have found it, at last,
in her company, in her words,
in her manners and class !!!

Yesterday, very subtly,
after buying the bracelet, she asked:
have you been to the old part of the city?
and I said: No !!
I like the way she comes across:
softly, almost in whispers,
not contradicting,
always pleasing,
the art of politeness,
has a good teacher in her,
the melody of her voice,
soothing like a feather,
suspended in the air,
not wanting to go anywhere,
floating in space,
not ever falling to earth,
eternity has a birth,
when I hear her !!!

Eternity,
like an abandoned arp,
in the music chamber,
of an old church,
invisible silky hands,
draw shadows of love,
on the old, worn out walls,
and soft green eyes,
color the shadows of love,
in the deepest part of my heart,
not ever to be gray,
forever green and bright !!
the color of love has no demise !!!
the music caressing my senses,
and she smiles,
an effervescent and delicate smile,
like bubbles of champagne,
floating and floating,
and not finding the way,
Oh !!! a champagne kiss,
from her soft and humid lips,
that would also be eternity !!

And she said:
Let's go to the old city,
and we found ourselves,
strolling on deserted streets,
under old, ancient, very green, large trees,
curved brick narrow streets,
faded by time but not by life,
we saw a balcony, dilipidated but still,
royal and dominant,
maybe over 200 years old,
and she said: I can picture myself
in that balcony !!
and even though there were
no flowers in it,
I imagined them in her hands,
Romeo and Juliet,
in a Shakespearean play,
but this was in Vinnitsa,
in the center of Ukraine !!
and I was with her,
eternity has no farewell !!!

And she added:
If I ever were to be an actress,
I would love to be acting in the nineteen thirties,
or the beginning of the 20th century,
and she was born in 1987 !!
traditon in her takes center stage,
Eternity in reverse !!!

And we ended up in a small exquisite cafe,
nestled among trees and houses,
not on a commercial strip,
descending under earth,
with the help of old stones steps,
English atmosphere, maybe French,
the furniture a combination,
of wooden carved tables,
and chairs from Ukraine,
I noticed white flowers on a vase,
on the polished, shiny black surface,
a striking contrast,
of black and white,
like the white rose and the black dress,
that she will wear for the book on the site,
and a violin next to the vase of flowers,
and I looked at her,
and she looked more beautiful,
than the flowers in the vase,
a peach colored blouse open,
at the slavic shoulders,
closing half way on her long, delicate arms,
with a silver brooch with interwined hieroglyphic
lines,
the peach earrings matching her lips,
her lips now the color of time,
for it was sunset time,
a soft kiss on her lips under a sunset,
eternity defined !!!

The stones in the bracelet
also had tones of peach and pink,
every instance that I looked at her,
she looked more beautiful than the moments before,
can human eyes survive this marvelous display of light ?
peach and pink, and white and green !!
and she looked radiant,
like a rainbow that would never die,
she was a glorious sight,
with her golden hair,
to the sides of her enchanting face,
and her green eyes flared,
more intensely than the bracelet !!

She had "rolled to the right french pancakes",
I had whipped ice cream with bits of chocolate and fruits,
bringing memories of an island I do not want to forget,
and a small glass of vodka to remember,
than I was in Ukraine,
vodka and ice cream?
would I ever had regrets?
the teapot and the plates,
ivory British porcelain,
and this was not Spain,
France or England,
this was Ukraine !!!

Eternity at last,
eternity holding time in place,
making every second,
a wonderful miracle,
when I am next to her !!!

A lady and a gentleman


A lady and a gentleman,
unexpectedly, I heard those words,
coming out of the internet cafe,
pronounced by ourselves, nevertheless !!

Not expecting an answer,
and without looking at her, I said:
"You are a lady" !!!
And her feminine voice I heard,
very much like bells,
from heavens,
in a mystic church:
"You are a gentleman" !!!
and a stone silence opened,
a beautiful crater under our steps !!
but we never fell,
clouds of love can suspend,
by creating mystic spells !!

We were both meditating the words we heard,
"a lady and a gentleman ",
as we kept walking side by side,
on the dusty summer Vinnitsa street,
now laced with the parfurm of her grace !!

And the afternoon was bright,
indeed very blue,
with white clouds in the sky,
she was wearing a green blouse,
with green earrings matching,
her exotic green eyes,
she was also wearing tight,
light gray jeans,
delineating her marvelous silohoutte,
with beautiful shadows on the concrete beneath,
every day that goes by,
she grows more statuesque !!!
it is almost impossible to be discreet !!!

Casually, she added,
" I will have an orange
at the office"
and I said: Lets take a rest,
you can eat at the second floor cafe !!

And she had tomato juice,
yellow rice, chicken and bread,
I just had a glass of beer,
to calm my thirst,
and I wondered: which thirst?
thirst of beer or thirst of her?

And the conversation flowed effortlessly,
like is usually with her and me,
there we were,
a lady and a gentleman,
on a second floor cafe,
over a trolley dotted,
Vinnitsa street,
not counting the seconds or the minutes,
not thinking of the worries of the day,
just two people,
enjoying each other's company,
in a very special way !!

A Lady and a Gentleman,
that is the name of a famous
movie of yesteryear,
but now the drama
was unfolding here,
in a foreign city
where she lives and resides !!
is Rita Hayworth by my side?
she resembles her all the time !!

And she loves to be courted,
like in ancient times,
she is a lady of class and distinction,
that can not be denied !!

And I love to praise her
all day....all night,
for she is my inspiration,
my guiding star !!!

A Lady and a Gentleman,
a new script is being written,
in a very foreign land,
but true love stories,
only happen........
once in a lifetime !!

And my pen is thrilled,
as the days go by,
for writing about her,
is a beautiful window to the past !!!

"Viktoria is a Zarina
in a Rus empire cast" !!!

A Lady and a Gentleman,
the characters are in place,
the story will last,
for love isa beautiful theme,
for generations to grasp !!

A Lady and a Gentleman,
this love story does not have,
a final act !!!

Mirame


Mirame con la ternura
de tus ojos sonadores,
mirame para sentir el
perfume de las flores.

Mirame con la mirada
que te hace tan singular,
mirame con la mirada
que no puedo olvidar.

Mirame y deten el tiempo
para recordar
que si tus ojos fuesen rosas
tu serias
el mas hermoso rosal.

Mirame en el infinito
de la distancia
que me separa de ti
pero mirame a los ojos
y hazme feliz.

Mirame como si se fuese a apagar
la luz del universo
y nada tengo que temer
en tu mirada
esta la luz
del mas hermoso amanecer.

Mirame como si el cielo y la luna
se quisiesen abrazar
y las estrellas
con la luz de tus ojos
se pudiesen besar.

Mirame y hazme pensar
que soy el mas feliz de los hombres
porque me puedes mirar.

Estrella en el cielo


Y en el cielo hay una estrella
tan lejana, tan fugaz
yo la tuve en mis manos
y la dejé escapar.

Esa estrella es la más bella
de toda la constelación
esa estrella en su alma lleva
el más bello corazón.

Esa estrella ilumina
con mil luces de esplendor,
esa estrella desconoce
todo miedo y dolor.

Es la única centella
que cruza la tempestad,
es la verdadera amiga
en los momentos de soledad.

Esa estrella es el amor
y no vuelve si se va
cuídala si la tienes,
el día que se marche,
por ella llorarás.
