Besos Que Matan

Under a canopy of magnolias and acacias
In your enchanting arms, I was trapped
And surrendered to the essence of your kisses
I adored your beauty like Beatrice

I’ve drunk in the fragrance of your breath
From your lips, scented like a lily
And a thousand times, because you were always kind
When I looked at you, I poured my whole soul into you

I remember those dates
Your lips like Aphrodite
Trembled like a daisy
Caught in the storm
But after those days
Your soul turned cold
And you craved in the orgies
To shed your life away

Because of you, you became Messalina
Without a care for my burning pleas
And you rolled down into the abyss, indifferent
Splashing in lust and wickedness

And today, seeing misfortune has bent you
I feel pity and pain for your fall
For I understand that in the shadows of your life
A glimmer of hope will never be there!

While you’re dying
Love is shattering
The kisses and laughter
Of your beautiful illusion
And it’s in vain that you hope
For someone to offer you, lovingly
The fortunate gesture
Of noble redemption
