madness, I write every day of my life. Like all life, mine also goes through a valley of tears, and I am not a fool to not accept it, ergo, most of what is put here has that dramatic, sad and “why not” reflective bias of always being in catharsis. I have always believed that in sadness, loneliness, pain, loss, much or all of the creativity of the human being hides, even to make people laugh. Here you will find the works divided into three segments, or chapters: One, that of life itself or "In this valley of tears", then some written in joyous and euphoric moments or "Not everything is bad", and finally those written in prose or "Stories, and maybe a story.” Within the verses, you will see my reflections, the result of observation and sometimes, of living it firsthand, if you like it, pass it on so that it serves as a reactive against so many tragic situations that occur in the world, right now, tomorrow, and always. There are also some curious things, and others that refer to the same theme, and therefore you will see repeated names followed by a number. In this book too, there is the germ of a crime novel (very Scandinavian), which will be available shortly. See if you can find out what it is. Although my way of writing is in verses or short stories, as in what I paint, draw, and design, I always seek to convey what I feel, what I think, what I experience, good and bad, and my ideas. We all have principles, as well as a single end for sure, and I believe that the facts are what always give us away, for better or for worse. In what I write, and I believe, I will never lie. Like everyone, I already lie enough living every day, even when I confirm that I feel good, when most of the time it is not. Good luck in your life, and luck in your things.Banana & Salted Caramel: A Collection of Poetry & Short Stories

by an expert in the literature of the era, the poems and short stories appear in chronological order.
