Downhearted darling
Zulema plant me
A damaging response
of mint
orange slices force a smile
I wish
I could kill all the kindness
of my heart;
Just easily as I can
murder a houseplant!
Cold passion;
Who is mine, but you?
Downhearted darling
Zulema
In your absence,
the smile will disappear,
vanish!
Almost always absent
of water comatose
My beloved
if my heart complains-
Whoever I vent to,
take care
How many more tears,
can be shed
before you drowned?
Downhearted darling
In your eyes, watering
in delight, from thirst
Zulema
In your presence,
there’s no trace of a tear
provocation tears at me,
all things that make me feel,
as if I am breathing ...
Aromatic longing;
Salty aftertaste ...
