The Heart Trap

The transcendental theme is the widespread and therefore recurring feature in this collection of poems and tends to manifest a clear relationship, or rather a bond, of humanity with the divine, on the assumption of the interrelationship and continuous interaction of the "Entities" that characterize the human being and come into play in the countless choices that the daily reality in which he lives forces him to make.
These "Entities" are to be identified in the mind and its thoughts, dreams, feelings, illusions, reason, spirit, conscience or soul, ... these are the actors who appear on the stage of life every morning, when the curtain opens in that ancient theater, who, interacting with each other, fulfill and recite their part ... then, they reappear in the evening, when the comedy or tragedy, represented during the day, becomes more or less profound introspection and on the stage, which has now closed the curtain, the actors change.
