My TYGER! *

When I asked you how 

could I scape from

the madness of the word you

told me to read the poets and

I did it...

I read one by one all of them

and I discovered that all of them

were trying to do the same...

At that moment I saw you,

such us all of them had

described you, so

bright as luces de Bengala

in the middle of the deepest wilderness.

*The last month I have been very buzy writing a long poem. I was inspired by great poets as William Blake, Jorge Luis Borges and Doe Mee Choi. It is a poem about identity and my journey to home! It was not easy job but at the end I did it! 

It's in Spanish, by the way, and it belong to the second part of my own Poems Collection! What I am trying to tell you is that because of  this little poem called " My Tyger"! was coming to me spontaneous in the middel of the night as it is: in English, it is in English! 

I would like to consider him as the cherry on the top of the cake of my long Spanish poem, but I am not very convinced if it can be part of the collection so, for now, I've decide to let him be part of my blog! Please don't try to understand me because I'm not, but!? So What! Miles Davis?

The photo was the first draft, as you can notice!
