A POEM'S TEARS

TEARS OF A POEM is a work that pulses with the very rhythm of life itself. It is not merely a book of poetry: it is an intimate journey through the hidden corners of the soul, where the written word becomes tear, whisper, cry and hope. Within its pages converge poems that interrogate the universe, songs born from the heart and stories that challenge the boundaries between the real and the possible.

From the slopes of a volcano -that place where the author writes without seeking approval- to the farthest reaches of the multiverse, PaniVinux invites us to reflect on the great themes that run through us: time that slips away, love that clings, death that lurks, technology that transforms us, and hope that is always reborn.

The book opens with a cry of creative independence in "Letter to Poémame" and confronts us with essential questions in "Human vs Artificial Intelligence", where the author wonders whether we might not also be biological machines. It moves through the melancholy of "The Silent Scream", the rebellion of "Muzzle", the cosmic wonder of "The Stone and I", and the tenderness of the poems dedicated to Dulce, his faithful companion.

The songs -such as "Dulce Rock & Roll", "Live until 2100" or the "Official Anthem of the Order of Argon"- add a musical dimension that invites reading aloud, while the stories and anecdotes immerse us in experiences as diverse as a failed extraterrestrial contact in Rumicucho, out-of-body experiences, the adventures of Super Capullo or the existential reflections of an engineer who looks to the future with his feet on Andean soil.

This second edition, revised and expanded, consolidates a work that transcends genres and connects with the deepest part of our humanity. A book for those who seek answers, for those who dare to dream awake, and for those who understand that, in the end, to love is the only verb worth conjugating.
