Una Belleza Escalofriante

 Just beneath the sweetness of your smile,

passed the beauty of your two open eyes,

hides the the darkness and vastness

of a deep and lasting loneliness.

Little habits and privileges decorate you,

dress you up in the simple kindness,

of your frightened heart's silent starlight.

 

There is memory and weight in your gaze;

a subtle partnership with routine sorrow.

Spirit that shows strength in places

you should never have discovered.

Fear that whispers scorched wisdom;

a knowing, an understanding, an acceptance.

Your pace is careful and distant,

powerfully capable, resilient to the cold,

and pristinely, quietly, dignified.

Armored steps that sink into the mud,

pressing ever forward into the night,

reaching out, hoping onward, ready to fight.

Eres una belleza escalofriante;

A boundless soul fluctuating in the in-between.

Caught by a love so red and toxic,

even a phoenix of fiery flight,

could not endure it. 

My dearest love, no te fallare.

Forever, I have waited for you.

Forever, I have hoped...for you.

Into the infinite, 

we stretch out our hands,

and hold sway the fate of our unified heart.

In my arms, you will know quiet safety,

sheltered by an equal spirit of terrible beauty.

Me tienes por siempre mi amor,

si entregate a mi.
