Do Not Ask Me

Do not ask me for an hourly love A love with pinch in pinch out I am not civilized yet. Do not ask me for a burger love With bad cheese, I do not have the taste for it I can not afford it anyway With my minimum wage salary. Do not ask for a minimum feeling And maximum love This is a different chemistry, A different language And another type of skill that takes time Do not put my name in a list On top or in the bottom It does not matter Being hired and fired are not options I am considering This is for the skillful less And I do not invest in the feeling and utilitarian market. Do not ask me why I dream of the moon; Cause the moon is not just A face, Full, Of smile, Or dark eyebraw. It is the first circle i draw, . The swoon when i am lost, and Your eyes' tune, sand dune. Do not ask me What is my name is, Where I come from, or What type job I have; But ask what name I will give you and What name you will give me from time to time; Ask me where I will take you and you will take me Without plans or exits. Do not ask me if I could keep The same smile; Cause, a smile is like a golden ring It does not create your hand Neither my face.
