Portrait
I almost know her:
In her mouth she has mint liquor instead of saliva,
her sweat is the one perfume I want to wear,
all that she hasn't touch doesn't exist
& darkness around don't let me know
if my eyes are still closed or open when she's gone.
My girl & mistress stole my imagination to become alive,
never die as long as I want her to survive.
She does what she says,
& decides what I must know,
the rest is to trust her,
she never fails, though she may fade.
Wind is sewed to her hair.
She wears sunglasses for sorrow when she wants a kiss
& pull her hands backwards for distract me not
with the color that her fingers paints when she touch me.
She carries our both sadness
& found words to describe it
but they haven't been speaked before:
to have always a tear ready to fall
seems to be the best word to show she's frightened.
Doesn't need any help,
just someone to be there to take turns to live.
Brakes rules & leaves at morrow.
Always returns when I get dozed.
I guess she doesn't miss me when I'm awake,
she doesn't spent as many time I do in thinking of it,
perhaps she don't remeber what she dreamt
& lives as happy as I go to sleep.
Retrato
Casi la conozco:
Su boca lleva licor de menta en vez de saliva,
su sudor es el único perfume que quiero usar.
Solo existe lo que toca
y la oscuridad a mi alrededor no me permite saber
si mis ojos estan cerrados o abiertos cuando no está.
Mi niña y amante robó mi imaginación para poder vivir,
no morirá mientras quiera que sobreviva .
Hace lo que dice
y decide lo que he de saber,
debo confiarle el resto,
nunca me falla, aunque desaparecerá.
El viento va cosido a su cabello.
Usa lentes oscuros apenada cuando desea un beso
y pone sus manos atrás para no distraerme
con el color que sus dedos pintan al tocarme.
Carga con la tristeza de ambos
y ha encontrado palabras para describirlo,
pero no han sido pronunciadas aún:
tener una lágrima siempre lista para caer
parece ser la mejor palabra para mostrar que está asustada.
No necesita ayuda,
solo de alguien que esté ahí para turnarse al vivir.
Rompe las reglas y se va a la mañana siguiente.
Regresa siempre en cuanto me duermo.
Creo que no me extraña cuando está despierta,
o no pasa el tiempo que yo pensando en ello,
quizá no recuerda lo que soñó
y vive tan feliz como yo sueño.
