Dies Slowly



Dies Slowly 
he who becomes a slave of habit,
repeating same path every day.
Who doesn't risk wearing a new colour
And doesn't speak to whom he doesn't know.



Dies Slowly 
he who makes the television his guru.
he who avoids a passion,
he who prefers black on white


Dies Slowly
he who doesn't turn the table when he's unhappy at his job,
he who doesn't risk the certain for the uncertain to follow a dream,
he who doesn't permit himself at least once in his life,
to flee from sensible advice.

Dies Slowly
he who doesn't travel, he who doesn't read,
he who doesn't listen to music,
he who doesn't find humor in himself.

Dies Slowly
he who destroys his own love,
he who doesn't allow himself to help.
he who passes the days complaining of his bad luck
or of the incessant rain.

Dies Slowly
he who abandons a project before starting it,
not asking about an unfamiliar subjector
not answering when they inquire about something he knows.
We avoid death in soft quotes,
remembering that to be alive requiresan effort
much greater than the simple fact of breathing.
Only with ardent patience will we conquer a splendid happiness.


If I could have just one wish

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.
