Faces of Love

Faces of love 
Do not carry me in your hand 
Like a small bird wet with rain drops 
Love is a traumatic experience 
But I want to live it 
To keep my windows overlooking the lake of the pink dolphins
When the evening comes 
They will start dancing for me 
And clouds will bunch across the ceiling of my kitchen 
Love is a mysterious experience 
I would like to sing to your photo 
Which I keep under my pillow 
But my voice is not suited for singing 
Even my bed sheets are still laughing 
Whenever I wash the dishes 
And I think of you 
The lather dances between my hands 
Yes, love is a dangerous experience 
But I will live it 
Because I’m afraid of continuing my life 
With the furniture trembling 
From the intensity of loneliness .
