Um Beijo
Olavo Bilac
A Kiss
You were the best kiss of my life,
Or maybe the worst... glory and torment,
With you I rose from the firmament's light,
With you I descended into infernal lament!
You died, and my desire doesn't forget you:
You burn my blood, fill my thoughts,
And I feed on your bitter taste,
And roll you on my wounded mouth.
Extreme kiss, my reward and my punishment,
Baptism and last rites, in that moment
Why, happy, didn't I die with you?
I feel your heat, and hear your crackling,
Divine kiss! And I long, delirious,
In the perpetual longing of a minute...
