W/OUT
In your absence…
What do I do
with my mouth
empty of your kisses,
with my body
undressed without caresses,
with the “I love you”
stuck for unpronounced,
with my eyes
unable to see their
reflection in yours,
what about my philosophy
void of mutual discourse,
and my coffee
without your company?
w/out kisses, w/out caresses, I❤︎U unpronounced, w/out reflection, w/out discourse, w/out company.
SIN
En tu ausencia…
¿Qué hago
con mi boca
vacía de tus besos,
con mi cuerpo
desvestido de tus caricias,
con mi garganta
atragantada con un
“Te Quiero,”
con mis ojos
sin su reflejo
en los tuyos bellos,
con mi filosofía
sin poder discutirla,
y con mi café
sin tu compañía?
Sin Besos, Sin Caricias, Sin Pronunciar, Sin Reflejo, Sin Discurso, Sin Compañía.
