Madness Is In Your Name

You have abandoned me with traces of fire, every day my skin plays your music, you are more than a sound of lyrics, In my ribs I carry you, like pearls stuck on shells, Iet me cover your deserted soul with my vacant arms, I shall not be sad like the lakes and trees far away, If I stop imagining you my heart closes like a nocturnal flower, Who hears your hymns without you singing? Madness is in your name, The clouds over me are a net of frozen words that never melt, they constantly read me, They are like the book of hymns, with just serene music, you are gone and you still run away. Llamando mi nombre someday you will repent, and maybe every seed of desires by then will be drifted, Like smoke vanishing through air, you will never know the rest, as I sail the vast seas and you stay on solid ground, I will count the fishes in the ocean giving them names with your face on it.
