This Is Love

Taste the antagonisms,
      dare to surrender  to impulses
      be perplexed by abysses,
      not living before wrists ...

      Not having out of love,
      warmth, shelter and rest
      being shot down with glow
      be simple but proud ...

      Imbibe hemlock for wine,
       scorn profit and ruin
       but absorb the pleasure
       of the nest

       Donate body and soul and fate
       and wait in the disappointment,
       this is love, no mistake ...!
