I picked


I picked

I picked
the warm vapors
of the Autumn
in a sky
veiled of tenderness.

veiled of tenderness

And I clasped
your hands between mine
being afraid of
the cold fogs
of the Winter.

Also the tears

Also the tears
leave
their trail of light
when the look
picks the Infinite.
And you, tear
of joy,
still have for me
the sweetness of Love.
------

ON THE WARM LAND


In the lukewarm twilight
played the shadows
with the flashes
of the last sun.

You and me, on the path,
the hands intertwined
and red our face,
walked slowly
as if we wanted to stop
the tumultuous wave
that boiled in our breast.

On the warm land
between the thick grass and the flowers
we picked up Love.
There were nothing but kisses
with the chirping of crickets
while we did dances
stolen to the time...

The caresses of the dew
found us given up
to the rest
of lovers
on the lips the smile
of the innocence.
