FLOWERS IN MY DESERT
Doggerel Dave said:
A road map to self realisation and something many could learn from. I particularly enjoyed your celebratory voice as it recognised the freedom of being oneself and not subject to the values and norms imposed externally.

FLOWERS IN MY DESERT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Carlos, this is beautifully done. A whole life\'s worth of growing into yourself, laid out like a desert learning to bloom on its own terms...decades of shedding what weighed you down, until the cactus finally flowers, spines and all. Grateful and real, nothing less and nothing more. Wonderful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

METAMORFOSIS
Doggerel Dave said:
I once had a feeling similar for a marble woman. Her image remained even after I moved and no longer had access.
I want to also thank you for the presentation of the \'AI Short film\' which left me somewhat hypnotised. I now wonder if my nightly dreams will ever be quite the same again. I have my reservations with respect to AI, which you can find spread across my verses, but here....

MISUNDERSTANDING / INCOMPRENSION
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Carlos, this really resonated with me. I think every writer wonders at times whether anyone truly sees what was on the page as it existed in the heart. You captured that feeling beautifully, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There are parts of us that can not be communicated in words to other. We are all individuals different from the millions of others out there all unique individuals. Well written my friend

METAMORFOSIS
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Carlos, what a beautiful meditation on art and memory. I love how the poem begins with an encounter and ends with a transformation. The sculpture becomes more than an object…it becomes something that reshapes the heart of the observer. I found that deeply moving. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

DEAD READINGS
sorenbarrett said:
There was a tangible feel to a book that rested heavy in the hand and could be carried everywhere. It took up space on a shelf and announced the interests and thought level of the owner. Now all is invisible and intangible it could all evaporate in an instant of a solar flash. Well written Carlos

DEAD READINGS
Doggerel Dave said:
A lament for the big change which has meant the loss of books as our main source of knowledge. Even I, once an avid reader, find myself with what was once reading time now PC time.
A really relevant observation of our world as it exists today.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Reading this, I found myself drawn into the tension between longing and surrender. Love here isn\'t comfortable...it\'s transformative, demanding, and impossible to ignore. I really enjoyed sitting with this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Carlos, what a thoughtful and deeply reflective poem. I love how it moves from the ordinary steps of life toward eternity without ever feeling rushed. The humility, gratitude, and hope that run through it give the entire piece a quiet strength. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

BUTTERFLY WINGS / ALAS DE MARIPOSAS
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, \"the treasure of being reborn as a firefly\" is the image that stayed with me. Ending with a firefly instead of the expected butterfly gave the transformation an especially beautiful and unexpected glow. Wonderfully done, Carlos. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Carlos I love the way that you have mixed the transformation of the butterfly with the colors of their wings and the colors of the flowers the growth of these and of the growth of the person and thoughts and emotions. Nicely done
