***

Darling!
Don t ask me what I want,
Don t ask me about my wishes,

***

O! You a question,
Who appears with summer
As the most beautiful songs.

***

O! You a rendezvous of lifetime
That comes to light in my life,
To calligraphy appointments for the world,
To sow hymns,
The verses,
And the torches,
In my world.

***
Darling!
Don t ask me about my wishes,

Long time ago ,
A generation ,
A lifetime ,
One day far, far from now,
I lost dreams ,
I buried ululations,
I knew the eternal depression,

Life passed ….O! my life…
I hugged illusions ,
Searched for their delusions ,
And hope.

***

With Summer , You came
Holding my fate ,
In your hands.
And you were exhausted asking me..
What satisfies me?
What makes me happy?
To afford
With sun, with perfume ,
With your love.

***
O! You ,the smile of the eyes,
O! You just as you are!
Don t blame me
If my tears glitter,
If I choose silence as an answer,
Sometimes, words hide away,
Sometimes , Sentences vanish…

***

What shall I say..?
How do I respond…?
My memories are foggy,
My days are but escape,
My past is gloomy,
My history is painted by boredom…

Do you want to make me happy?
Then , stay with me…
Don t ask questions…

***

My ultimate aim, the whole hope
Is your stay with me,
You have made my femininity
Sweeter that a peace of flirtation
Stay with me,
To rewrite my history with kisses.

***

Stay with me ,
I will show you how to plant earth ,
With letters of light…
Stay with me ,
I will challenge time ,
And -convert- Winter into Spring.
I will pour my imagination upon existence ,
Wedding ceremonies,
I will light tears , agony and smiles
Like candles in churches,
I will overwhelm the world with light,
Prayers ,
And generosity….

Stay with me ,
I will hold the universe on my palm,
I will modify it once more on own my own,
And blow it to you , a clear kiss…

***

O! You, big question,
That came to my life ,
Holding ,in his heart ,the answer.
You! The big child,
That his love drive my forget
The loneliness of the past
The fear of the coming future,
And the days of agony.

***

You! The orison that haunts my heart
And my belief.
Don t ask me about my wishes, you and me,
You are an integral part of me ,
Skirt me with your arms ,
Make your love :
My perspectives,
My freedom
And my imprisonment.
I am the melody that float
Along the latitude
You are my love ,
You are my only Melody…
