For You Love

For you I knew the cold,
      in return I offered you
      my tropicalism ...
      You made me practice glossolalia,
      for you i extinguish my smile ...
      for loving you i canceled
      all poets, and
      I became a crazy poet ...
      All poems that I made for you,
       you  banished them to trash ...
       I gave myself another way,
       I got dressed in another body
       for you I became a specter ... I went
       Faust and Machiavellian,
       my spirit went down to
       underworld ... I entered you
       to avenge myself ... but only
       I found the dark inside ...
       Finally I came back to reality
       emptied of love, hirsute
       and  with naked soul ...
       I deleted the world to
       find you and died for you
       being still alive ...

Hello Alakas, it was him that gave all he had for her. He showed that he really cared for her. Yet she ignored him by pushing him away. He wanted her to love him but it was not to be. So he is deeply hut and still loves her. Salute Darlene
