Mi Visión Del Amor

Mi Visión Del Amor
The trouble is
that I’d let my gestures freeze.
The trouble was not
in the kitchen or the tulips
but only in my head, my head.
Yo no lo quiero, Amada.

Ya no se encantarán mis ojos en tus ojos,
ya no se endulzará junto a ti mi dolor.
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
Porque si tú existieras
tendría que existir yo también. Y eso es mentira.

The useless dawn finds me in a deserted streetcorner; I have outlived the night.
Nights are proud waves: darkblue topheavy waves laden with all hues of deep spoil, laden with
things unlikely and desirable.
Nights have a habit of mysterious gifts and refusals, of things half given away, half withheld, of
joys with a dark hemisphere. Nights act that way, I tell you.
The surge, that night, left me the customary shreds and odd ends: some hated friends to chat with,
music for dreams, and the smoking of bitter ashes. The things my hungry heart has no use for.
The big wave brought you.
Words, any words, your laughter; and you so lazily and incessantly beautiful. We talked and you
have forgotten the words.
The shattering dawn finds me in a deserted street of my city.
Your profile turned away, the sounds that go to make your name, the lilt of your laughter: these are
illustrious toys you have left me.
I turn them over in the dawn, I lose them, I find them; I tell them to the few stray dogs and to the
few stray stars of the dawn.
Your dark rich life…
I must get at you, somehow: I put away those illustrious toys you have left me, I want your hidden
look, your real smile —that lonely, mocking smile your cool mirror knows.
