Gacela of Unforeseen Love

No one understood the perfume of the dark magnolia of your womb
Nobody knew that you tormented a hummingbird of love between your teeth.

A thousand Persian little horses fell asleep in the plaza with moon of your forehead,
while through four nights I embraced your waist, enemy of the snow.

Between plaster and jasmins, your glance was a pale branch of seeds.
I sought in my heart to give you the ivory letters that say "siempre",

"Siempre", "siempre": garden of my agony,
your body elusive always,
that blood of your veins in my mouth,
your mouth already lightless for my death.
