Gregarios de Lujo

I don’t always see them
but they’re always right here
floating in the air
and they know everything about me
more beautiful than elves
and way, way taller than I am.

They rarely make a sound
or let themselves be seen
more for being sober and careful
than for being shy
stronger than steel
purer than diamond or crystal.

And only eternity will reveal
the blows they’ve taken for me
even without me knowing
how many wrinkles in their skirts
from covering my back without fear.

Luxury Companions
at my service
because they camp silently
around me
I’ll embrace them in the morning
when the sun never, ever
sets again.

They always watch my dreams
never abandoning me
their eyes pierce
the darkest darkness
fear doesn’t touch them
and they only bow to the king.

In their eyes shine innocence and calm
and yet they’re fierce
and true warriors of love
deadly as fire
faster than the wind in a hurricane.

And only eternity will reveal
the blows they’ve taken for me
even without me knowing
how many wrinkles in their skirts
from covering my back without fear.

Luxury Companions
at my service
because they camp silently
around me
I’ll embrace them in the morning
when the sun never, ever
sets again.
