There are wounds that only love can inflict, and solitudes that only poetry can populate. This collection is the echo of a torn heart, a testament where each stanza throbs between pain and transcendence, between Edmond Dantès betrayed and the Count of Monte Cristo transfigured by divine vengeance. Hugo Noël Santander Ferreira, like an alchemist of words, transforms abandonment here into lyrical gold. His poems are cathedrals built on the ruins of broken promises, where the voices of Bukowski, Mutis, and the myths that have never ceased to haunt humanity resonate: "How can you love just one if ten thousand / -Bukowski sang- passing by / would make you burn more?". The answer bursts forth, implacable, in these pages: true love is not a myth, but an angel forged in the fusion of two souls. From the icy dungeons of the soul to the burning savannas of Colombia, these verses traverse continents and centuries. We encounter Mercedes leaving for Occitania, Lisbon nights under complicit clouds, farewells sealed in the cold tea of indifference. Each poem is a relic: a diamond cut from the stone of regret, a rose whose thorn recalls that "every wound of love / heals with the passing years." But this book is not just a lament. It is also a manifesto of resistance. Against the "malevolent scholars" who deny the union of lovers, against the "cyclops and furies" of the everyday, the author erects an empire where love survives, "transparent and infinite." For even broken, a heart that has loved remains "everything and something more" a fragment of eternity. Let the reader remember: these poems are not lamentations, but confessions. They guide towards the ultimate revelation - the one whispered by the nights of Palonegro or the dawns of Cispatá to love is to become God for an instant.
