Amores

Eternal love that never ends
Warm loves that love nothing
Feigned love, foolish loves
Crazy loves and sane loves

I have seen newly born loves
with a 'for sale' sign on the belly
Love on strike from water and wine
and I have seen loves
painting their faces with forgetfulness

There are loves that fight
There are loves that wait
I have seen loves that cry
There is love that rules
and there is love that surrenders

There are loves that stay silent
There are loves that dream
I have seen loves that suffer
There are loves that kill
and there are loves that burn

Wise loves, baroque love
of stutterers and limping loves
of sixteenth notes in a council
Love of ants on eaten bread

I have seen loves in self-exile
Purging kisses that have been drunk
Love traced by moans
and I have seen loves
that do not know about love, and I tell you

There are loves that fight
There are loves that wait
I have seen loves that cry
There is love that rules
and there is love that surrenders

There are loves that stay silent
There are loves that dream
I have seen loves that suffer
There are loves that kill
and there are loves that burn

Loves on the run
turning on a portrait
Loves of retirees
with a quota of asylum
and I have seen loves
that do not know about love, and I tell you

There are loves that fight
There are loves that wait
I have seen loves that cry
There is love that rules
and there is love that surrenders

There are loves that stay silent
There are loves that dream
I have seen loves that suffer
There are loves that kill
and there are loves that burn

There are loves that burn
