Obliterating Time
The earth shall I draw again… and time shall I intoxicate…
Thus shall I obliterate the minutes of your absence
Of sterile seasons, of gloomy days,
Of faceless months!
I shall obliterate the moments when my tears
Swell up!
LIVES without you
Shall I build anew!
Nights devoid of your form
Shall I endure!
Your shadow inescapable in every shade!
Your heart beckoning in every sigh…
Of pleasure!
LIVES devoid of you shall I dream anew
And there I shall reside…
Where your rain falls transparent…
Where your scent from sappy soil ascends!
Where you words sweetly my soul caress!
Where your three-dimensional love unfolds and spreads!
The earth shall I draw again because it is with you alone
I want the recesses of night to roam,
So that you may lead me
To the wide avenues of your kindness
For the LIFE I have devoted to you.
