Our Secret



My love goes hand in hand 
with you walking
alone in the sand, before
the last flaming rays
of this inmense poetry 
I can't forget.
This mystery, the seagulls,
the memories of your
voice coming along,
keeping pace
with the truth;
an inmensity so sacred,
that without you
there will be no more
music left
to light our way
into this unknown,
even unto the end
of all forgetfulness.
It was for this love, for this
feeling without a breath
singing the same song
forever, that I came to know
the source of love. 
This day, of all other
days, something has been
created which is different and
beautiful: the love
we keep inside
as a secret for the ages
coming and going like the sea,
always immensely blue
and tacit, like you and me.

Where we ebb and flow forever.

I am in the eddies of the sea caught in the crevice created by the huge rocks of the cliff walls; there, where the roar of music reaches its crescendo and the seagulls cry their chorale, there, safely lulled to and fro, ebbing and flowing with the tides of life, always coming back to the same crevice, the place where we are still, we are whole, and we love. Beautiful Hugo. Ann.

Dear Seabhac:

Thank you for your timely words. Yes, wouldn't it be nice to go to a fountain and drink? If the world couldn't change, it would certainly change those who drink. Now that sounds something coming from Rumi, the persian poet :o) Sincerely, Hugo

Dear Kailashana:

Thank you, my dear friend and poet, I really appreciate your words. That poem is just a play of words to transcribe what we all know deep down in our own selves. The secret is not a secret, then, but something shared by every human being. Sincerely, Hugo

Dear Hugo, procrastination

Dear Hugo, procrastination is for those who owe money to the IRS, not for a poet, not even for one moment's consideration!!!!! ~A
