OBSCURITY
I weep in solitude
when the softness of your touch is trying
to reach me during the night;
I am afflicted and alone
when your warm voice replies
that I cannot any longer enter in your world
to share the joy of your soul and
the
emptiness of yourself
that it may
perplex
your days.
Like marble is the heart, when the anatomy
accepts the physical connection, because
it can only reach and cold remains in every
bed:
what atrocity love can be, when
it's lost
in the darkness.
What tragic illusion when my hands are
reaching for yours;
Desperately are trying to find the light, but
in vain,
death they attain. . . .
AFTER YOU LEFT
My love for you
is like an abandoned river with no
consistency of gladness and pleasure.
Only a lonely river
that quietly goes below the altitude, and
the surroundings of gigantic mountains.
My love for you
weeps silently below the multitude
of strange faces that
I can't ever love. . . .
