Description The lines of the surface were not the sea.
And the bright dots were not the stars.
But the streak of black across your face,
so deftly in one stroke, was the night.
You smiled, you frowned.
There was red on you breast, a guilt,
most likely from times past,
created a palette of colors on canvas
so pure, yet not white, yet not black.
And not grey either, it was a color never seen.

You pick the black roses from the field,
lonely yet happily, because it's your idea.
Skipping the woven brown basket
the flowers collected ended in your shirt,
used as a mean to carry tears.
But still you stayed quiet. Quiet.
There was a million voices in your mind
While conversations between those doubled.
Run now, through the fields in the grass,
far away, run, and don't come back until spring.

Loco, que hermoso este escrito, me fascina... el hablante poetico es muy fuerte, la idea es muy compleja, el especimen que recoje las flores una intriga; en conjunto un gran poema.

especimen, esa palabra me causa tanta ironia para lo que es y para quien esta escrito el poema. Pero nada, gracias.

Even if I told you you wouldn't know who it is. But since I know you martyrice yourself, no its not you man. But it is not who, that is important, but how that is. In any case, not even the person knows its about her, or maybe she does, since she has read it and has said nothing of it.
