BRIDGES OF LOVE
Bridges, built with a pure heart,
Resist all, bora and storms,
In times when evil lurks.
The world needs pearls like those,
Connecting the coastline with messengers,
Heralds of good, sent from heaven.
Sadness from the children's eyes, they remove.
Love, always, wholeheartedly,
On her dawns, we believe, always.
We serve her, shine together in her light.
Unrest? Let us be a virus to it that kills,
The greatness of bridges of love, untouchable.
Primeval peace, absorbing only it.

VERSES AND BRIDGES
Verses, those mirrors to a soul,
Every poet's, yours and mine
Sources that snuff darkness out,
Food and water, sacred bonds.
The abundance that promises:
Faith in disbelief, hope in hopelessness,
A primordial life raft.
And they are the source of the love that the universe celebrates.
Bridges. And they are our verses.
Hurricane bora and silence,
Salty tears where whirlwind wars are.
Blinks of conciliatory heights,
Mirrors murky from river depths.
Heralds of stolen springs,
Emerging pearls of new centuries.

BE A BRIDGE
Be the thread of love because that's just what you are,
Universe, eternal, bow down to it,
So the disappointment from lies does not happen to you.
Primordial beauty, incompatible connection...
The bridge. And the bridge of love, man, be,
That bridge, which connects the shores of dreams;
In the light of hope, offer salvation to the desperate,
With thin heartstrings, build the courts of paradise.
