Two poems of love

01 Death in oblivion 02 Mist never leaves a trace

01 Death in oblivion

I know I exist

Because you visualize me.

I am tall because you think I am

Tall, I'm clean because you

with good eyes.

Look at me with clean eyes.

Your thoughts make me

wise, and in your simple

gentleness, and in your gentleness I am simple

and kind.

But if you forget me

I will go unnoticed to

die. People will see

My flesh alive, but the ...... that resides within

will be another person - gloomy, dull, and perverse.

by: Angel Gonzalez

02 Mist never leaves a trace

Just as the mists do not leave scars on the verdant hills

And leaves scars.

So my body does not

leave scars on you, never.

When the wind meets the eagle

What remains?

So you and I meet

And turn away, and sleep in peace.

As many starless nights

Will still continue.

So one of you and I is far away, and

Will we survive?

by: Leonard Cohen
