FLOWERS FROM THE HEART

=====================================================================

TO LILIANA

You are a rose-bud sprouting.
In the splendor and caresses of the moonlight.
You have in the smile a divinal fluid!
And I don't see who has another equal!...

Your sweet and beautiful glance has seduction.
Has charms of the flowers and of star.
They are beautiful like painter does them on screen,
With art, taste, charm and perfection!...

I never thought, charming child,
That my soul so early withered,
It ran across that luck helmet,
In the highway without flower of my life.

How will I see you more in thought?
As the lilies strongly smelling the light scent,
Or stars enchanting the firmament,
Calming for some instants our pain?

You are the link that ties a heart,
To other heart of great love...
To caress you, so, I want with reason
And to join myself to that charming trio.

And here, in this other whereabouts,
At every instant thinking...
I only want to see your image
My life to cheer.
