Amor Porteño

Amor Porteño

Amor porteño

Una inquietante mirada de amor porteño
Cálida y cruel
No, no puedo creer que pasó
Que el misterio sensuel de tu risa canyengue

Que una caricia podía borrar el color
De mi ciudad …

Ganas de bailar

El código oculto de esa mirada
Es como una señal
Y no puedo [...]

Destination: Buenos Aires

The itch to travel
Travelling is a fool’s paradise…I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the…self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.- Self-Reliance, RW Emerson
