Face Poem by Rosalinda Flores Martinez

In this hour I hold your tenderness
Your gaze, convincing of your love
I want to trace your face, the side of your head,
the hair that hang over your ears, your neck
and your mouth that speaks of truth.

My heart longs for your human smile,
honorable, but a bit harsh like a knight.
Have you ever thought how I adored you?
Your mouth in my mouth that sweet air
of our breaths,
your tongue in my tongue,
I could hear your even respirations.

Your fierce jaw rests in my hands
and on my breasts finds a home, silent.
You are my very dear…
Your absolute kindness locks me
It bares my heart
in the splendor of a saint.

My tears ask for you -
warm.
Of His will, God survives rainbows.
