Entre La Sal & La Miel

One is the simplicity of perfection
that I always wanted to have,
an angel from head to toe.

Her eyes are the sign of a religion
that made the forbidden come alive,
what can't be, what shouldn't be.

The other saves kisses just for me
and knows the ritual of skin,
her mouth is life when I'm thirsty.

As warm as the dawn
of a long January night,
the one I don’t want to lose,
the one I always wait for.

TODAY I HAVE LIFE
WITH ONE HEART
THAT I SEARCH FOR BETWEEN SALT & HONEY,
WORDS THAT TELL ME
WHAT I NEED TO DO.

I THOUGHT IT WAS FIRE, MAYBE TEMPTATION,
BUT I NEVER IMAGINED YOU COULD LOVE
LIKE NEVER BEFORE TO KNOW.

IN ONE I SEE THE REFLECTION OF WHO I AM
IN ANOTHER OF WHO I WANT TO BE,
and I wrap myself in a thousand promises
THAT I KNOW I WON'T KEEP.

EMPTY I REACH THE LIMIT OF PASSION
I SPIN AROUND NOT KNOWING
THAT I HAVE TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN SALT & HONEY.

One is an act of fragility
so sweet and so wicked at the same time,
so soft that I want to protect her.

The other is strong wind, water, and storm
more than enough for five senses, the one I desire,
the one that is my unfaithful punishment.
