The empty chair covers my day
with a cold blanket of snow
My day begins thus on a low
My mind distracted, far away
The emtpy chair: when I walk past
and see today you will not make
the journey in, all I forsake
except my longing, so work comes last
Never before an empty chair
lowered a man's spirits so
his soul became a darkened pit
Please do dispell this deep despair
and make all gloom and sadness go:
Come into work, and sit on it
Incidental, short poems in English and Spanish
(lo lamento: mi teclado no tiene acentos!)
"Oh idle reader who with your time regales me
These humble pages will, I hope, amuse -
But should they not, then may at least my Muse
Bestow her grace upon her one-man army"

Another Divertimento Naive
I sing my song with the first light
Of frosty mornings in December
and in my song you I remember
O, Rose of England, fair, red and bright!
Of frosty mornings in December
and in my song you I remember
O, Rose of England, fair, red and bright!

Divertimento Naive
Star that shines in the blue sky
A frosty evening of December
Please tell my Love that for her I
Will always Christmas time remember
A frosty evening of December
Please tell my Love that for her I
Will always Christmas time remember

In Town / At Night
Thus suddenly the door opened and I
Took the seven steps into your lair
How many nights of vigil and despair
In one sweet moment were turned into delight
Seven steps and one furious embrace
My lion heart of body and soul demanded
To shelter you my arms and chest expanded
To stay inside you - in our love's space
Took the seven steps into your lair
How many nights of vigil and despair
In one sweet moment were turned into delight
Seven steps and one furious embrace
My lion heart of body and soul demanded
To shelter you my arms and chest expanded
To stay inside you - in our love's space
