Eres Todo Menos Azar

It wasn't easy to digest
that news left me speechless
there's never time to choose
if two bodies seek to become one

Thirty-six long weeks went by
slowly I saw you take shape
those breasts and that belly suspended
defying gravity

And there were nights I couldn't sleep
your arrival felt so wrong
pure fear, I felt fear
for being vulnerable and not wanting to anchor

Finally, in a cold dawn
I saw you emerge from the waters
looking at your face cleared my doubts,
you're everything, but chance

And the house filled up
with new sounds and smells
a miracle of milk and sun
a new planet in my heart
And from your laughter, a brutal tenderness
and from your hands, a genuine freedom
and from your cries, love unpatched
and from your noises, my joy to savor
and from your scent, a magnet that draws kisses
and from your touch, my natural nourishment
