About this ebook
Espiritus (and other poems) is a chapbook of poems
from the Otherworld
the Neverland
to the Moon
and Stars.
She dances with the devil
Every night, her soul leaves her body
and dances with the devil
They hang on a string of moonlight
and sway to a silent rhythm
He loves her
sometimes she loves him too
Nonetheless, they always dance the night away
and hold each other as if they were dissolving
Someday, surely she will dissolve into ashes and stardust
and he will have to dance alone
His hands will miss her hands
and his feet will search for her feet
But tonight is unlike any other night
They do not just float, kiss, and bend
for they shall dance to the edge of the world
Never to return.
She is burning
She is burning in beauty
yet she is not aware of it
Not aware that the whole world
is burning with her
Burning from her lips, burning
To her fingertips, to the trees
and the grass, burning
to my longing arms
It is I who see her burning
yet I who feel it
with every move
My eyes are red, my heart
swells, burning
each time the wind
strokes
her hair, burning.
