I am a fountain of many faces and tricks

you come with those tired limbs, and taste me so

as I tempt you with thirst

you drink my water

and drink until all is dry

with nothing else to offer


you dig trenches around me

barricade me from wild animals and choir boys

I am yours to have

to fill; to empty

carefully leaving prints, dictating your presence

so no one can take

away from you

what's rightfully yours


When all is done

you plant seeds

embedding ideas and soft words inside

where there is moisture and passion

tracing those lines with your fingertips

understand each bump and imperfection

muttering my name with each motion

delivering commitment that I hope you'll keep

and I flourish


Here, caress grows

the branches will catch your hair in the wind

revealing kisses, tickling your neck with warm breath

rustling greenery will purr words only you can hear

flattening the wrinkles between your eyes

such sad eyes...

there will be no regrets

no Justice, no Vengeance, no precautions

just you and I, beneath the vines, limbs intertwined

the feathers will be our bed

break the fall as we indulge

and your touch, gentle and light

with a strong grip

then the words 'future' and 'no fear' appear

in your palms

between your lips

weaving within your eyelashes


to see our silhouettes

swaying and swinging

inside the shade, under the leaves that wrap us

in this lucent paradise we call

home

here, at the upper left side of my chest

you will breathe, still and steady

with the sun rises and falls; the moon climbs and descents

I will stay

and rules will be broken
