IMMORTALITY
A glass of water –
I did not ask of you anything else.
A glass of water
to put out my fire.
I burn up – I burn up
When I think of your body.
I burn up
when I think of you dead.
But you had a hidden secret
Immortality!
THE PROPOSAL
The angels are singing tonight by the window.
Tonight the idea of love will propose to you.
You will smell lilies tonight.
Do not be afraid,
I will always be near you.
