LOVE
by kapardeli eftichia
Love when it blesses us
when it wrongs us
in the body and in the soul I sink the nails
in her full with blood heart in the flesh naked
I devise the kiss
***
I did not learn nothing other
apart from your name
Love
I found him in rays
the sun
the fire it controls
heat my memory and the heart
***
when it blooms narkissos
a flame where all
it burns also him
the ash it makes dust of diamond a sin sweet
that the love him it gives the saint Communion
and him it makes holy
***
In the all hearts of persons those
that remained chronic
small
be born
they grow
Love in your own embrace
