Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

Swoon
To love
To unlove
To love the not evolved
Can a kiss hold me?
Can a person retain me?
I vanish when I fall
And I remake me
When I walk
Do you think you can win me?
Do you think you will calm me
When I see so clearly
That
The infinite peace
That I embrace
Will not reach you?
You said: present
I said: future
And I saw how contradiction itself gathered
in failure.
Then
Should I walk you home
When your home burns?
Oh darling,
Let´s better take
The unthinkable walk
To the wherever land,
maybe then we skip the fire.
Yes, let´s better sleep naked
In each side of the bed
To feel the coldness
That we think we deserve ,
To prove
That even then
could have been nothing
but tenderness.
My dream´s thief
Wouldn´t you wish to have an us for once?
Wouldn´t you wish not to kill you and me
Tonight?
I just wonder,
Aren´t you tired
of running out
with pennies?
“Audentes fortuna iuvat” (Fortune smiles at the fearless)
You,
Could I explain
You,
When all in between moves so freely
and I, useless, can´t see it all?
When for you, dear Hermes, I only have a simple message to carry
And even I don´t know
what It says?
So, run, Hermes,
run now,
that the ways are free,
and
I don´t know
where the message will go.
But.. don´t you wonder like me
that It would be great
Just to play with this confusion?
Just to run a few miles together
Without knowing
What we carry or where we run to?
So please, My messenger,
let´s keep the question and not think,
And Cut my answers, that I´ll cut yours.
Just
Lay down on me
That I´m offering you
these eyes
that want
to bi-hold you,
and these arms willing
to warm you.
Try it,
that I promise
you
That we’ll make
of this mysterious silence
Our laugh.
