DEAR FAUSTINA

 

I want to run 

To the cradle of your arms,

And warmly hide

In the presence of your smile.

You are like a silver guitar

Playing soft symphonies...

When I close my eyes,

My mind hums fantasies

And my hands wish that you were near.

You are like a pearl shining in the ocean—

You are golden,

Beautiful,

Cheeky,

And caring...

You speak

And I am dizzy with love,

You whisper a smile

And I surely know

That there is magic in your eyes,

Fire on your lips,

And joy in your heart.
