They See Her Dance
She frolicked between two turquoises,
the sky the sea;
now, on the sandy beach,
in the envelope of a tear,
they see her dance

Does anyone know?
What does anyone know of my rebelliousness,
my tears of blood,
of the wounds of my thoughts?
What does anyone know
if my heart is a dreary and deep space,
if it is perfect or imperfect,
or a chaos of mirages?
What does anyone know
if my weeping has long strands,
whether my days are electric or serene,
or if I live an autumn of orphanhood?
Does anyone...

Like abandoned papers...
Just as the wind barges in,
seeping into nature,
I feel a sudden breeze wrap me up in sadness
Shattered by the dead weight of indifference,
I fall like a leaf from a shaken tree
I descend into an abyss where time no longer exists;
only emptiness and fear
The night pulls me down,
I find myself in a net of darkness,
immersed in my childhood memories,

In silence
In silence,
tears that express their agonizing language
Tears that have names,
faces
memory…
and ignored pain

How does It feel?
How does it feel
when a dagger hovers over life,
when anarchy oppresses with brutality,
when dreams dissolve
and let no traces to contemplate?
How does it feel
when everything is swarmed by violence,
insensitivity; clear and humiliating absence of piety?
We are all instruments for an occasion;
others are escorted only by ambition
Oblivious to the world,

I seek
After hearing the voice of despotism,
the cries of the hungry looking in the trash for bread,
the bitter language of solitude,
I look in the blue sky for serenity;
I create a landscape and try to dream
I seek peace among the white fingers of the aurora
After not finding the line of understanding,
the root of the soul,
the wind of justice,
the submerged freedom,

With his hands stained with blood
Mr. Maduro, I am enveloped and driven by a superb energy and leave you a message, on behalf of millions of angry hearts, a simple message: We want you to go away!
All of this has been more than enough. We are tired of your evilness, your abuses, your cynicism, your humiliations and want you to know that we are all swathed with your "mistakes". We demand to return to the Venezuela that our paren...

I write because...
I write to return to sanity,
to give respite to my bitterness,
to avoid falling into the void,
to feel that I'm alive
To calm my overwhelmed reproaches,
to the muffled word that grinds my insomnia
until I’m diluted in the wind
To speed up the torrent that my body needs,
that germinates flowery fragments within
and not move on through uncertain paths
I w...

This morning my pen confesses
My orphaned poetry,
protagonist of my sunset,
lyrics roam in disappointment
and disenchantment
The rigor of silence,
feeling that it is impossible
to live without your love
This urge to love you
condemns me to the passion
of becoming a woman on your skin
How many days of nostalgia ran through my body?
How much longing for the kiss that you left ...

No finish line
Tied to the cavities of the night,
life becomes written tears in my eyes;
every part of my body has its wound
and I unceasingly wander in the aggregate pitfalls of a fog
Before me the cross of loneliness turns to me,
pass painful valleys,
there’s nothing left standing
only dents in my soul
Between fear and courage,
cold and misery tally each step,
waiting is...

My heart is a lonely flower...
My heart is a lonely flower aged by pain,
misunderstood by dreams
that where denied by life
A dead flower, forgotten,
inclined towards hope
that learned to give treason a name
However,
there are flowers that bathe themselves in the morning sun,
even for some reason that never existed
And although it is the most humble little flower,

From always ...
Nothing happens, I have no answers
Only the great sadness seems to assist me
Faced with despair, people are losing their identity
The word violence plays its language
Everything is corrupted
Everything looks bad, aging
In the thunder of the night I discover that my brother is my enemy
The only thing real is this sad reality
