I woke up, red dawn sun
feasted upon my night-sweat
her breath crawled
her eyes swept
good morning.

I came back, red midnight moon
pity her brothers on Earth
her body , stale
her thunderous snoring
good night

I come to light
then submerge into night
I walk the path of life,routine
yet a path that leads to unknown

I live, because i´ll die
I think, because i am irational
nothing would be
without it's inverted reflection

when we stop
we really start

death is a lie
say my brothers from across time
before America (the continent) was raped
and their memory virtualy erased

life is more than what we see
say my sisters that dwell at night
some call them stars
i call them teachers.

good morning my love
good night my hate

when we start
we really stop

Ixtab~
An absolutely remarkable piece of writing.
Spell-binding, somewhat paradoxical, intriguing and thought-provoking.
I'm fascinated with this thought process.
Deeply satisfying.
Thank you for sharing it.
I've read it several times
and will do so again.

Thanx for reading and for your kind review.
I tried to describe, (in a little criptical way i accept)something very peculiar about human nature, our changable desires our different feelings for the same object, even during the same day.  
I´m sorry that i cant reply to no other posts,even when i´ve read so much valuable stuff in this site. unfortunately my access to internet is quite limited, so i usually take advantage of the little time i have in here to read rather than post. Anyway, thanx again...............
