Craving for your love
time flees
and I become tired,
missing the nights
where you entangled me
in your sweet embrace
you trace an outline
where my pain disappears
Under your hands,
a touch sweet as honey
at last I rediscover
the one I’ve been,
born from the divine
the one that loves you
in a new way
despite all my sorrow

Another day
you’re there
kissing me
my lips burn for you
into flames of promises
this fear of me
haunting me
at every detour
I dread
for you to leave me again
without your presence
because my day
backs up in sadness
and awakens the shadow
of your absence
