I want to lose myself
in desert, in jungle,
lost in your thought
repeating your name
like an old woman
recites her rosary
until I start to lisp
and my tongue becomes tired
I want to cry
in your longing
until my throat starts to ache
and stops making sound.
Oh, my beloved,
I have never seen
such a grace
that your face holds.
Don't test me more
let us merge and be one
and become careless
about this trembling empire
called the world.

Just wanted to get it off my chest.
