El pelo lacio juega sobre tu frente,
los párpados esconden el brillo de tus ojos,
y las mejillas asemejan
la pura blanca nieve.
Contemplo tu boca, extasiado,
como campo de amapolas,
donde quisiera ser mariposa.
Tu voz, suena a coro celestial
en noche de boda.
Y es tu aliento, fragancia
de manzanilla y hierbabuena,
y tu aroma me trastorna
cada vez que me besas.
¡Que divina es la juventud!
es como los campos de lirios blancos
traídos del lejano Oriente,
para resaltar la belleza de tus ojos negros.
Y te recuerdo criatura del universo,
que en el amor se juega con fuego,
que hay noches de lunas llenas
BLACKBERRY QUEEN
Your straight hair plays upon your forehead,
your eyelids hide the brightness of your eyes
and your cheeks resemble
pure white snow.
I watched your mouth, entranced,
like a field of poppies
where I wanted to be a butterfly.
Your voice sounds like a celestial choir
on a wedding night.
Your breath, fragrance
of chamomile and spearmint,
and your aroma that disturbs me
each time you kiss me.
How divine is the youth!
It´s like fields of white lilies,
brought from the far east just
to highlight the beauty of your black eyes.
I remember you creature of the universe,
with love you played with fire,
there are nights of full moons
that feed from caresses and kisses.
Collection: Without muse there is no poetry.
