The House of My Heart
Is a country

I learned to love there
and to kiss with tongue

Learned to give last hugs
In airports
And tears

The house of my heart is a country

Its colors are painted
with chalk on the walls
And yes...

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart
And they won't stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips
must always be sealed

Everytime I look at your drawings or paintings, I wonder how much do you draw daily? I always remember a quote from Van Gogh that said something like "for an artist drawing has to become as easy as writing", and that's what I get from your art🌱
