Life – World Poetry Day

World Poetry DayIn celebration of World Poetry Day held every March 21st. I’m reading some of my poetry and since it’s an international event, I will also read them in English and in Spanish.

“Arranged in words, coloured with images, struck with the right meter, the power of poetry has no match. As an intimate form of expression that opens doors to others, poetry enriches the dialogue that catalyses all human progress, and is more necessary than ever in turbulent times.” Audrey Azoulay – Director General of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

The recorded poems are from Inspire Me: Raw. The poem Citizen and it’s Spanish translation Cuidadana are read and performed. Also, Forget and it’s Spanish version Ovide and to add a little humor because not all poetry is dramatic or traumatic, we have the poem Go-Go Boots.

Alone

because I stood alone
amidst the emptiness of space
and beheld your beauteous form
cast against the sky
because my heart knew you
majestic – divine
knew the dance
that you danced
in that twilight hour
because I stood alone
as you quivered silently in the wind
how strong and tenderly
you moved
how graciously you smiled
as I embraced you with my eyes
because I can no longer move
outside the circle of your infinite light
because my eyes beheld you once
like a thousand suns
born and being born
because my heart has been uplifted
and my eyes washed with visions of stars
you have become the universe to me
and all that I touch quivers with your life
