Poem: «Catching Lights, Throwing Shadows»

(Photography by FBC, Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia. All Rights Reserved)

Your windows are like eyes that burn in darkness,

in cold flames they’re consumed in ice and snow,

they shape the brilliance calloused in her hardness,

they claim to run like lightning but they’re slow.

The blue and green that’s splattered in your pupils

taints everything you touch with your sharp gaze,

the arrow shot at you by one blind Cupid

has left you maimed so you won’t win this race.

I catch the light that sleeps beneath your covers,

and throw it to the rivers fresh with blood,

you are the one that suffers, not the others,

sitting quite saintly on your throne of mud.

One day I’ll catch the light and throw her shadows…
