DEPARTURE OF AFFECTIONS
Departure of
affections
affections
Does not
reside in one place
reside in one place
Returns in
the face of a sweet girl
the face of a sweet girl
Creates memories
with questions
with questions
And I feel
sad
sad
I tell her
I cannot
love you
love you
You deserve
loves more passionate than mine
loves more passionate than mine
Deeper than
the ocean
the ocean
That surrounds
your peninsular land
your peninsular land
Thank you
for your looks
for your looks
That smile
I watched
your lips
your lips
What a pity I
cannot be your lover
cannot be your lover
Someone has
to whisper
to whisper
All the
tenderness you sprouted in me
tenderness you sprouted in me
I who adore
tropical sunsets
tropical sunsets
And island
evenings
evenings
Indoors with
aromas of delicious food
aromas of delicious food
You live so
far
far
Under the
shadows of mountains
shadows of mountains
With snowcapped
peaks
peaks
Your lips
giving shape
giving shape
To the words
From the
fountain of your emotions
fountain of your emotions
I feel your
emotions
emotions
But I look
at your lips
at your lips
“I wonder
who is kissing her now.”
who is kissing her now.”
All of you
can be surrounded by my feeling
can be surrounded by my feeling
You search
and feel it
and feel it
But can’t
find its origins
find its origins
Whether you
are in the desert dunes of historical oblivion
are in the desert dunes of historical oblivion
Or in the
ordered steps of constructed social spaces
ordered steps of constructed social spaces
Food and
music, and the darkness of the world outside
music, and the darkness of the world outside
I am alive,
heart bathed in light
heart bathed in light
If distance
matters, it lessens
matters, it lessens
With the
heart so alight
heart so alight
I melt into
the whiteness of your face
the whiteness of your face
My memory of
your face
your face
Comes out of
darkness, no one is present
darkness, no one is present
With this
happiness
happiness
I will
follow you through the night
follow you through the night
Of such
togetherness
togetherness
In my heart…

No

valleys and peaks.
