While enveloped by the Moon and grazed by death
You dream about a far-away shore that is not
Conquered in your absence
I have too little of you,
...
To a Philosopher
So important to me,
You will never understand

This Love
THIS LOVE
This love between you and me.
Is necessary like life,
we don't know when it began
or where he wants to go
or what is its strength.
This love between me and you
is as heavy as an anchor,
we do not know why it sinks
or what supports
it or where it leads.
This love between you and me
it's like a downpour,
we don't know where it comes from
or from what it is brought
or because it blooms.
This love between you and me
is necessary like life
is heavy like an anchor
it grows like a downpour
This love between us
Is like the music of silence
Like the ternal rhythm of our hearts!
