WITHOUT LOVE
Without love,
dreams and hopes
are worthless.
Today I am without love!
I reflect on
this Valentine’s Day afternoon
and I realize that I don’t have
a woman to love.
Only you, girl of mine, only your poetry.
You come on this afternoon
to caress my white temples
and keep me company.
I have not received a flower.
No one has kissed my lips
that sleep on this
lovers’ afternoon.
Oh, life! Oh, life!
Life, why have you
denied me love?
Life, why have you
denied me luck?
Life, why did you
make me different?
Life, why did you
make me a politician?
Life, why did you
make me a fighter?
Life, why did you
make me a dreamer?
