Forgotten Woman
I hid behind the whispers
of dried dead leaves
on the sidewalk
to avoid an involuntary dose of
noxious news.
It was where
I saw you again
walking silently
on the edge of
my words
taking your time
to dot all my sentences
and cross whole my heart.
I hid behind the thick walls of your ego,
where the moonlight barely touched the trees
and I forgot the reason I left myself.
I stayed hidden behind the thick walls
that you built in my world
until "I" wasn't "Me" anymore.

Words and Author
Some words wake you up
in the middle of the night
to tell you, their story.
Some words eat breakfast with you
and follow you all the way down the stairs
but they never leave the house.
Some words sing for you
but they hesitate to cross the road with you
some words get on the subway with you
and tell you funny jokes you always forget
Some words stop you to ask the address
to the next chapter
some words are always angry
why you keep them between the lines.
Some words are shy
they never come to your mind
some words selflessly let you pack them
in a poem to a friend.
Some words are mysterious
they never show up in your stories
but you hear their footfall
in each chamber of your reader's heart.
Some words are easygoing
they don't mind if you selfishly overuse them
some words are ruthlessly difficult
you should only fall in love with them
so, you can understand them.

To Say, or Not to Say
To say, or not to say; that is the question:
whether tis nobler in the life to reveal
the tricks and follies of the masters of the secrets
and to end the bliss, perchance to die;
or to take refuge in the silence of conventions
and by concealing accept them? To lie: to destroy...!
