Duerme

Your slightly parted lips
With a soft hum as you breathe
Your expressionless face
Your breasts as an excuse
For a possible motherhood
All of you sleeping there
After the stampede
Of two bodies and love

Your belly making a hollow
To keep my waterlight pistils
Your bare feet
Your open arms
Your navel the universe, all in you
And I inhale your breath
After the battle
Of two bodies and love

In your nails there are traces of my skin
And in my skin there is sweat from sharing
It's salty sweat that tastes like honey
It's your hands scratching in the forbidden

Sleep, sleep
For I still don't know if I'm dreaming
Heaven came to this place
While your body still trembling
Sleep, sleep
For I'll be the sentinel of your dreams
You won't find a better one there
Than the one I just owned

Your hair spilled
Filling my mattress with jet black
Your painted nails, your closed legs
Your folds in perfect chiaroscuro
And I believe more in God
After the fortune
Of two bodies and love
And you who still don't realize I love you
Because you don't understand the language of my hands
Tomorrow when you wake up I'll tell you
What I've kept silent out of cowardice

Sleep, sleep
For I still don't know if I'm dreaming
Heaven came to this place
While your body still trembling
Sleep, sleep
For I'll be the sentinel of your dreams
You won't find a better one there
Than the one I just owned
