El Amor

Love is a ray of indirect light
A drop of peace, a waking faith
A buzz in the air, a point in the mist
A profile, a shadow, a pause, a wait

Love is a soft, approaching murmur
A distant bell, a gentle breeze
A voice in the calm, a scent of mint
A later, a maybe, a once, a goal

Love starts to sprout, between the air and the ground
And it's felt and sensed and some can see it
And it makes you wake up and think of it
And it calls you slowly, brushing your skin

Love hypnotizes you, makes you dream
And you dream and yield and let yourself be carried
And it moves you inside and makes you more
And it pushes you and can and takes you behind

And suddenly it lifts you, throws you, burns you
It lights up your soul, ignites your veins
And makes you scream feeling like you're burning
It dissolves you, evaporates you, destroys you, creates you

And makes you travel, on the edge of time
Ascending the rivers of a thousand universes
And takes you to glory and delivers you to the earth
And looks at you, sees you, thinks and thinks

And suddenly love is the light of a flame
That starts to fade and goes out
It's the small island lost in the mist
A drop, an I don't know, a stain, a grimace

Love is the fallen leaf on the ground
A point in the sea, a thickening mist
A weight on the soul, a veiled sun
A why, an according to, a no longer, a complaint

Love is descending, step by step
With closed hands and tired steps
It asks you who you are, to let you know
That it barely knows you, what do you want from it

Love mocks you, laughs at you
While you remain still, not knowing what to say
And you wish to follow it and tell it no
To stay, to return, to admit a mistake

And love shatters your grand ideas
It destroys you, breaks you, splits you, shatters you
And makes you be that which you wouldn't want
And pushes you to be bad and leaves you a mess

And throws you headfirst into the deepest hell
Tearing out your soul, trampling your body
And you suffocate with longing, to return to nothing
And suddenly, it stops and sees you and pities you
