Left to dry

Transparent and cold
Refreshing steel blade
Tiny flow of existence

Water stumbles in
Spring shining streams
And winter dark seas

Evaporates then
Up to the sky
Perfect like memories

Craving for calmness
In vapor masses
Droplets collide

Watch them and smile
Watch and remember
How they grow and die

Running and changing
Animals to faces
And flowers again

Until you remember
Until you forget
And leave them to dry.

Try

The feeling sails
But do I mind
I look away
Too late, we part

Don’t even try
To watch behind
We’re always late
My foolish heart.

Happy Returns

Sticky note

The right one is the one you fall in love with, not the one you regret not having fallen in love with. HC

Routine

The passion has gone
Hearts cut off from bodies
Go mutually spinning
In affection’s thin chains

Craving for a touch
Is not a way anymore
Elusive goes your smile
Lovers or friends?

Too much to ask now
Uneasily busy as I am
To find new words
For your old goodbye.

Cool pool

Fornells, Costa Brava. In between two coves, I stumbled upon this amazing infinity pool, carved directly into the cliff stone. On the left, you can see the jet of water feeding the pool, pumped directly from the sea below. One lucky guy stands on the wall from which the water overflows back to the sea.

Pals

Late evening, my kids walking in the streets of the medieval town of Pals, Catalunya.

Begur

Tiny house in a tiny street in Begur.
