When I Finally Fall Poem by Gabyel Rei Guillen

When I finally fall, sweetness
It will be forever

Like changing days
Without changing times
Or time within days
Of unchangeable hours

From There my solitude
Will cast out its arms
Into plantations and red gardens
Plucking you out, my dearest, red orange
And carefully resting you in my arms.
And I will be captivated by your roundness
And by your beauty
The desirable form of a soft, small fruit

From our love there will sprout plants
Of dancing ice and gentle fire,

And there, within them will be our feet
Filled by infinitesimal brightness

When I finally submit, to you, love
It will be as dear as it was
When the first morning fell,
When the first rays of the light passed
And laid with soil in an act of wild passion,
Creating an earthquake of sweat
And whispers rooted out from chaste love

From the stomach of the soil
The ocean reaches out to her distant night
Plucking out stars, burning darkness, stealing light, and brings it to her lips
She will be filled with fire
Until she sparkles like my soul when I love you

When I finally fall, beloved,
It will be forever
And there will be fountains between your arms

But, sickness created love and love, sickness
And this soil is sick and is a ghost
And I am made to walk on
Love’s tremors
Shuddering during the time that you are distant

But why are you distant?
When I finally fell and it will be forever

While I, Closed eyed in the afternoon,
Will send out hopeful signals to your mouth,
Sad words to your absent ears
And jealous breaths to the breeze behind your neck

And say that I, sweetness will be eternal and
I will remain as ashes, or burnt wood
Of an ethereal fire
And rocks will conspire against me
On top of me, sand,
And me, ah me...
An evergreen wasteland of pure love
