Destilando Optimismo

Fate placed me on the path
A stealthy boredom stemming from a friendship
That barely tickled me.

A fool settles for a bird in hand
I break that rule because I always want a hundred.

Reward for perseverance: I claimed your talents
Devotee of your elegance, I was happy that time.

There are fires that can't be extinguished
Or maybe that one couldn't, at least, and maybe I didn't want to.

I become a repressor of my impulses,
My pulse distorts
And my breath becomes absent for a while.
These are reasonable effects due to the lack
Of what my soul boasts:
Being forever the owner of your perfection.

A collective joke, and back to fantasizing
About taking even the sales tax from you this time.

The harmfulness of time won't succeed
Because our idyll will be eternal in reality.

Distilling optimism rooted in the certainty
That you feel the same when you look at me.

And there are fires that can't be extinguished
Or maybe that one couldn't, at least, and maybe I didn't want to.

I become a repressor of my impulses,
My pulse distorts
And my breath becomes absent for a while.
These are reasonable effects due to the lack
Of what my soul boasts:
Being forever the owner of your perfection.
