You reach my memory and you are a storm, a storm that stirs my soul, a storm that wakes me up, that moves all the pores of my skin, that runs through my veins and burns my spirit intoxicated with kisses.

You come to my mind and draw blue lines, my eyes in their haze of dreams see you parade in the battlefields of illusions, you are an angel or a ghost but you walk through my time without giving me more space than to feel your storm again.

You are the water that quenches my thirst, you are the bread to quench the need to multiply you for thousands of times, you are the prayer at the beginning of the night and the offering before the feet of the wavering rain, you are storm, perhaps the perfect storm.

You appease my dark demons and bless my spaces of light, you fill my bed with joy, your skin of rose and porcelain is the magic capable of erasing all my fears and making me a child when I was beginning to see the lines of senility.

I want to never leave you, I want to soak in the rain of your honey, in the hugs and in the whispering words of midnight, I want to not be forgotten and stay inside your storm, your breeze and your wind, I want to be inside your skin and not feel your absence even though you are already far away.

My poetry is not based on any rule, in fact I have never studied forms of poetic expression, I only express my feelings, my experience and what I see and in my daily walk, I relate what I write with my pictorial work and I think that life without creation is a very simple life, art in all its expressions is a form of encouragement, a food for the soul every day.
