A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS
I am a condor facing the line
that separates day from night.
At dawn, I take
the brightest and most beautiful stars,
I take a rainbow,
with all its different colours
and paint the stars
in beautiful shades, making a bouquet of flowers
for you, my love.
This is the symbol
of my love.
Darling,
I am just a poet
who can put together
night and day,
taking the stars,
the rainbows,
for you, my love.
I want to be
both light and shadow for you.
Darling,
take in your sea hands,
this bouquet of stars
from the sky.
You who are on Earth,
with your body of snow
and your golden hair.
Dead or alive, I will continue
with our shared life.
