RHYMES

 The invisible atoms of the air

throb and ignite all around; the sky dissolves into rays of gold; the earth trembles with joy; I hear floating on waves of harmony the murmur of kisses and the beating of wings; my eyelids close... What's happening? – It’s love passing by! Sometimes I see her in the world and she walks past me and she walks by smiling and I say How can she laugh? Then another smile appears on my lips mask of pain, and then I think: -Maybe she laughs, like I laugh myself. When they told me, I felt the cold of a steel blade in my guts, I leaned against the wall, and for a moment I lost awareness of where I was. Night fell upon my spirit in anger and pity my soul drowned and then I understood why one cries! and then I understood why one kills! The cloud of pain passed... with difficulty I managed to mutter a few words... Who gave me the news? A faithful friend... He was doing me a great favor... I thanked him. What is poetry?, you say while piercing your blue gaze into my pupil. What is poetry!, And you ask me? Poetry... is you. For a glance, a world, for a smile, a sky, for a kiss... I don’t know what I would give for a kiss.
