Noite
Monica Salmaso
Night
Loneliness, a bar, the warm night
The suffocating boredom
A careless gesture
The inconsequential phrase
A provocative laugh
On the face a challenge
The soft and imprudent gaze
Your childlike manner
Entering my life
Imperiously
The ardent, torturous longing
The impatient body
The fiery mouth
The throbbing bosom
The incandescent kiss
The beseeching, erratic heart
A fire burning furiously
And the intoxicating taste of an urgent and devastating desire
The obedient surrender without care
The tearing ardor
The teenage soul
The frenzied embrace
A triumphant cry
A mad delirium
Peace suddenly arriving
And the throbbing pulse of the feverish passion etched in my womb
Finally the farewell and a persistently aching void
I saw myself for a lifetime in a cold silence
Reminding you absent
And even though this night is so distant, the pain reminds me uselessly
That for a moment
I was yours forever, my love
