I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY

by | Jun 7, 1990 | poems

Breath of Life 

I wish I could live intensely,
The time lost in the past,
The lifeless past time,
The time lost in life.
 

I wish I could live intensely,
Because time has not given me its time,
Because I didn't feel the time in time,
Simply... because I didn't have time.
 

I wish I could live intensely,
Also love my beloved intensely.
More than I loved him in the past,
Much more than I love him over time.
 

Finally, I would like to be able to live intensely,
Because time gave me its time.
Because I didn't feel the time in time,
Simply... because I didn't have time.

Breath of Life Don't let yourself be defeated Be a winner. Don't get lost and scared in crooked paths In which Life often makes you walk. Step firmly, as if you were walking On fresh green grass, With your will to win, With your will to win Life. Always seek the hope...

MY DIVIDED HEART

Feb 1, 1994 |

Breath of Life I feel my heart divided For those who are close to me and whom I love so much, And by whom, far be it from me... And whom I love very much too. I live with my heart divided, For the immense desire to stay, for the immense desire to leave, Living only in...
