Quiet Thief... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I need you,
After
Every sigh;
To return
My breath,
After
Every sunrise;
To return
My soul,
After
Every run in;
To return
My heart,
But even though
That after;
Every exhale
Every morning
Every departure
That you leave like a stealthy thief,
That you rob everything of mine,
Without leaving me anything of yours;
But the subtle perfume
Of your presence,
The signature of your warmth
Like I had brushed
By a heater,
Your imprinted lips
On me and the glasses of champagne,
Even after all that
I smile yet,
Because I know,
That if you take
All this from me,
It's because,
You'll return to me,
To steal from me again...
