“I Love You"
I love you...
and you move the time of my life without hours.
I love you
in the pallid streams that travel in the night,
and never finish conveying stars to the sea.
I love you
in that morning unpinned from the flight of centuries
that fled its white ship to the water without waves
where your voice and my song sadly swam.
I love you
in the pain without tears that tell so many nights the dream
has gathered:
in the sky inverted in my pupils to look at you cosmically;
in the hollow voice of my noise of centuries crumbling.
I love you (scream of white night)
in the insomniac thoughts where in birds my spirit
has returned.
I love you...
My love lightly escapes from expressions and routes,
and goes breaking the shadows
and reaching your image
from the innocent point where I am grass and birdsong.”
