My Love Seeds
My love seeds are planted in the dessert
In the endless kilometers
Of nothing
Of every human coffin
Where sadness and madness
Rest with the monster of the dessert.
My love has no end.
It spreads its root in the dessert
Looking for water
For a matter
A reason to bloom
To rise
To hold into the earth
That kept its goods for the forest
For its planted seeds of roses.
“I am a rose” I shouted
“I would like to be cherished,
To be irrigated
With a pouring rain
In a stormy night,
Or with a light rain
In a chilly night;
That I don’t dare to choose”
The earth then listened
And with a loud voice declared
“A rose in a desert
Better than a plant in a forest.
When time comes
And water is found
You will bloom
And every creature will be stunned
With the wild beaty you hold.
By then your love will seek
Not the shadows of a black past
But an infinite happiness
Which spreads and heals
The millions souls
Out there thirst for a wet throat
In a raining forest”
