THE NOTRE DAME´S GARGOYLE

ANGELS HAVE BEEN SEEN IN HELL

In the stony Cathedral of Notre Dame

sad a Gargoyle was crying

cursing its fatal fate 

that had condemned

to live forever tied 

to the ceiling an old Cathedral.

Never in the years before

his inert matter felt nothing

more than the rigors of the sun 

that slipped down his back for centuries.

Until one day a crazy passion

its hardness corrodes and scalds its body

lighting his rock heart with passion

 iluminating the high place when he saw

a young and pretty woman named Esmeralda

guarded by his servant Quasimodo.

Their feminine atributes awoke their 

passionate instincts,

and in his crazy eagerness

at night in the light of the stars

he declaimed  verses to the graceful girl.

*********

but one afternoon his passion turned to madness

and wanted to leave the roof out Notre Dame...

He stood up, bursting the granite that bound him and fell

Howling like a soul blackned by sins

when  see hell opening  the  arms   cursing Victor Hugo

tos writter of the story

that sparked  madnes on  his head.

His remains scattered like colossal boobs

t shattering  the burnished stained glass 

of Notre Dame .....

and in the serene evening afternoon

I felt like in languid moans

the seine aborted its stately calm.
