One More Song. {poetry}

“Deny me bread, air, light, or spring, but never your laughter for I would die.” ~ Pablo Neruda
Today I sing one more song for you
That reaches your beautiful blue eyes.
They stare at me with the loveliest of loves
And the most unraveled of passions
With the deepest of sadness
And the most immense happiness.
Your eyes that inspire thousands of words.
And are the key to a spirit that has given me mine.
And my soul gets thirsty again
Since your eyes stay with me
But are not with me tonight.
Today I sing one more song for you
How can my lips forget the taste of yours?
How can I wake up and not be tangled up
In your hair all messed up on my pillow?
How can the cold morning
Warm up without your body?
As nights without you are like a desert road.
It is an ambush to my memory
That just wants to look at you.
Today I sing one more song for you
As my tears blur my vision once again
To think I won’t wake up with you.
And I’ll miss the warmth of your back
Pressed against my chest
As we fill every space left
Between our pristine white sheets.
Remember how we invented love
Every morning and every evening.
And how we slowly succumbed to our sleep
Or to our deep desires and immense emotions.
As we made love like animals with a soul
Because we could touch each other’s.
I remember heating up
As we unwrapped our ardent lust
In a mélange of arms, legs, and hands
Barely distinguishable by their hue.
I spoke a few words
And heard many moans
That got muted
When our lips sealed together
In the most improbable of kisses.
Today I sing one more song for you
As the poet cries again
When he is heard across the world.
Since the thoughts of you
Are engraved all over his heart
Now sore with the need of you.
Your name is always present
In every dream and every vigil,
In every song and every breath,
In every second I’m alive.
Because love is just a word
That is not enough to say how much
I crave the sound of your voice.
Your voice that rings in my ears
Like the strongest of all songs
Where the violet hummingbird
Stays alive just for us.
And your words and mine
Resonate in every room
That make any home feel like a
Warehouse without you.
Without your smell that woke up
My manhood and my heart
With a simple glimpse at your smile.
Without you, a house is just a box
And the world is just a rock.
Today I sing one more song for you
Because I can’t be next to you
To fulfill your dreams today.
But thinking of each other
Is a part of every day.
And your eyes and your kiss
And your body and your words
And your touch and your smell.
Because I can’t bear how much
I miss you, I desire you, and crave you
I dream of you.
Since I’ve gotten so used to you
The nights are getting colder
And the days are darker
As the light of your presence
Is what I need with me tonight.
Today I sing one more song for you
My pain is loud
And my heartache deafens.
As I can’t hear your sweet voice
To make my morning sweat
And to make my body smile
As I imagine the night with you
And can’t without you.
With a passion that brought
My heart to a stop
And my mind to wonder
How I ever
Made you love me
As you make love to me
Tonight with my words
That’s all I’ve got.
I try to give you peace
And serenity to your life.
I will love you forever
I will need you forever
I will be with you forever
And I wish this was not
Just one more song for you.
