• Cuándo se leen estos versos,

  Y en la mente luego se retienen,

  Disfrutarán porque ellos sí que tienen,

  Energía y amor del universo.

• Los poemas son huellas

  infinitas de los tiempos,

  existen en eternos erarios,

  del arte con sentimientos.

• El amor es como una fruta madura,

  nace de una flor y se debe recoger,

  siempre cuando es su tiempo justo,

  una cualidad, evitar que se lastime.

• Mis versos son parte de mí, son parte de mi cuerpo,

  cuando tenga que partir, a mi tumba no los llevo,

  los dejo por aquí, por si alguien quiere leerlos,

  y a usted que esta escuchando, se los entrego.

Gustavo Lazo Oval

My name is Gustavo Lazo Oval. I was born in 1966 on the 12 of January in Havana. In Cuba, I lived in Mantilla, which is in the Averoff district. Throughout my childhood, even though I was from the capital, I was always close to nature and to literature. However, in 1982, I studied ... mechanical engineering in Gervasio Cabreras university in Cotorro. I earned my degree and proceded to work with metallurgical equipment and heavy duty maintenance until I immigrated to Spain in 1995.

Currently, I live in the Canary Islands, where I became a restorer of facades and a stonemason. As a romantic, passionate for literature and music, a follower of compassionate philosophy, my affection for poetry became a hobby to contrast my industrial profession. Overtime, my daily poetic musings started to amount to huge volumes of work, the best of which now form my series of Spanish poetry entitled Donde se Esconden las Emociones. I must apologize for the lack of an English translation for my works but a translated compliatiton of my poems is forthcoming.
