Olhos de Ísis
Jorge Vercillo
Eyes of Isis
The wine that I bring you,
I have to taste first
Is it worth being
in your place?
why is it that everyone
walks around armed all the time?
I don't carry malice
in my gaze
A night like this
with petals on the ground
your lips hold
the nectar of the heavens
the cobra of greed
lurks in the darkness
and the poison of envy
cleansing the muscatel
Beauty is a
weapon in your hands
dissolving my defenses
curtains fall
distilling ingredients
flammable to emotion
resignation of believers
with the audacity of atheists...
You are the daughter of Osiris
can vaporize
turns into a rainbow
just to make me fall in love
If it doesn't take root
why did I surrender?
has the eyes of Isis
my destiny is yours
I know...
If what the mind produces
the universe materializes
why do we always leave
for later?
The force of the stars
channels through your window
and the zenith that exists
between us two?
