I dreamed I was a pigeon

A lion roaring at the sky - oh, let me fly!

I imagined myself as a hurricane of hope, blowing away your pain and breaking the stranglehold of any rope

I dreamed of Miguel Hernandez, locked up, slowly drowning of tuberculosis, in 1942

He tells me: “Love has no price. To work for humanity is worth any kind of sacrifice”

     ~~~

For you I would be a beam of light

For you I would be a naked knight - a tireless journey through any night!

A fearless kite, traveling through space and overturning the rule of time

      ~~~

No, I don't need an expensive mansion to house my dreams

Better to die loving, and live trying, than to wither away lying

I'm the handshake of two comrades ready to shed their blood

Not for any god, but for life - to save life from its torturers

      ~~~

...Yesterday I sat at the courtroom. Surrounded by judges and wolves in blue

And there she was - glowing. Her hair was darker than her clothes

My love, tomorrow awakens each time you breathe and the wings of dawn land on your face

I'm the clouds touching your feet when you dream

     ~~~

For her I would be a beam of light

For her I would be a naked knight - a tireless journey through any night

A fearless kite, traveling through space and overturning the rule of time

    ~~~

I remember us three - you were holding the left hand of a butterfly, next to a tree

Come with me - deep into the woods - and hold on to my Northern star

Together we'll survive the flames of war!

    ~~~

I dreamed I was a newborn laughter

I'm the razor blade cutting through the dark clouds on the horizon

My poems run and cry with an open heart

Fly into my arms - my pigeon belongs to you!
