I Like……

I like the early dawn

peeping behind the mountain,

or rising from the sea

as the evening star fades out,

and every living creature

that wakes up out of the sleep,

except an owl in the hollow tree.

I like the grey cloud

bringing a yielding rain

as swift fiery lightings

tear up heaven’s shroud,

swallows flying high,

and a beautiful rainbow

on immaculate blue sky.

I like a bubbling brook

and majestic red sunset to look

in the quiet evenings,

with small flossy clouds

disappearing in the dusk

like drifting pink flamingos,

while the queen of the night

secretly strolls in

with the black mask.

Thoughts

My thoughts hover

like tiny bluebirds

above a beautiful flower;

manoeuvre my emotions

similar to nomads who drive the herds

among the hills of sand,

or glide over the blue vastness of oceans

seas and land.

Sometimes they frisk

like a cool water in the fountain ,

or glitter as diamond rings.

Suddenly they take a risk,

rush high towards the blue sky

like geysers in the hot springs.

They could be as helpful as manna

fallen from heaven,

or enigmatic as the sweet nectar

of an aromatic flower, even seductive

as the hips of a swinging calypso girl

From Havana.
