El Amor
Rigoberta Bandini
Love
Love is a ray of indirect light
A drop of peace, a faith that awakens
A buzz in the air, a point in the fog
A profile, a shadow, a pause, a wait
Love is a soft whisper that draws near
A distant chime, a gentle breeze
A voice in the calm, a scent of mint
A later, a maybe, a once, a goal
Love sprouts between the air and the ground
And you can feel it, and some can see it
It makes you wake up and think of it
And it calls you softly, brushing your skin
Love hypnotizes you, makes you dream
And you dream and give in and let it take you
It moves you inside and makes you more
And it pushes you and can take you behind
And suddenly it lifts you, throws you, burns you
It brings light to your soul, fire in your veins
And it makes you scream when you feel the burn
It dissolves you, evaporates you, destroys you, creates you
And it makes you travel, on the edge of time (love)
Riding the rivers of a thousand universes (love)
And it takes you to glory and delivers you to earth (love)
And it looks at you and sees you and thinks and thinks
(Love)

Love mocks you, laughs at you (love)
While you stay still, not knowing what to say (love)
And you want to follow it and tell it no (love)
To stay, to come back, to make a mistake
And love shatters your grand ideas (love)
It destroys you, breaks you, tears you apart (love)
And it makes you be someone you wouldn’t want to be (love)
And it pushes you to be bad and leaves you in shit
And it throws you face down, into the last hell (love)
Tearing your soul, trampling your body (love)
And you drown in longing, to return to nothing (love)
And suddenly, it stops and sees you and pities you
