caption (1)MY ETERNAL DESIRE

There,

Where my tears

The open ocean kiss,

I live, I breathe, I yearn,

Our Unique World

To be converted into a bliss!

 

With it,

I will wrap the rosy dawn,

To be my soul’s eternal charm.

Joyfully the sunbeams will dance.

And I will prison them into my arm.

So that the war and the fear to crash.

We do deserve to live in peace and calm!

Oh, my wind of south!

Caress upon my mouth!

Every time, you pamper me,

I grew up, an evergreen tree.

As you bring him, in my chest

Is flourishing, our love’s nest

His fire keeps me warm,

No fear of any storm.

Of my Earth, you are the king,

That every moment gives me wings.

To fly up the open sky,

Chasing the dazzling stars.

As you water my veins,

You alleviate my every pain.

Oh, majesty of my heart,

Our love, forever, let’s last!

I’m Melio of honey

With the hills around for

My footstool.

And stars in my curls.

I bend down and reap the waters with my fingers.

And look! I cup the river, in my palm

In the flow of which, I cleanse-MY WANTS.

And I turn myself into a crystal clear waterfall.

Spring flows inside myself.

And spills rivers at my feet,

As with longing they hurry up

To kiss – Open Seas!
