THE WATER LILY
And I here in my corner
in apparent tranquility
i feel again
your flowery smell
Stirring my senses
In the morning of this
place.
And while the lilies
bloom suddenly
There on the rivers of Chapada
Diamantina
your naked body here
exhales evanescent
A sweet flowered perfume.
And for all the charms of
Antinous
I try in vain
Capture your aphrodisiac
scent
Poetizing your skin
In aromatic synergies
In the solitude of my
laboratory.
You know that I have a crush
on you.
