NIGHT IN YOUR EYES

NIGHT IN YOUR EYES

I see myself not black,

Profuse in your eyes,

I lose myself anyway,

In your sweet evil;

And these images,

Mild at night;

They look like scourges,

Some thunderstorm.

Diffuse I see you,

In this profane kiss;

In the ocean wave,

That hurts my body;

I deny you comfort,

I get lost by your side,

In the dark hanging,

From your black eyes.

If I want to love you,

I close myself in your eyes;

Of dark nights,

So many storms;

The wave that burns,

And it invades my body;

They are insane gods,

I need to wake up.
