Carinhosamente

With what right do you return
To my world coexistence
Making new promises
Crying old needs
After leaving in a hurry
After such absence?

I see you talk about life
I see you blame time
You gesture absentmindedly
While I, more attentive
Pick up fallen hopes
From the phrases you throw to the wind

Very soon disarmed
I know I will as always
Call your name shortened
So tenderly
And wait focused
For a mate to be served for us

After a deep sip
Palming the warm gourd
I know you will look deep
Into my eyes tenderly
And then promise me the world
Until you leave again

Inopportune this urge
To whom you call: Freedom
To go drink distances
To return when you want
You abuse the circumstances
You forget my longing

Even with your departures
How can I not be moved
Swearing that having a thousand lives
Without knowing them anew
I would give them without measure
To do everything again?

To translate what is felt
This constant attraction
Is not something to attempt
It is not such a simple mission
The pains of a heart
Are not easily sung!
