Today,
My soul ached
while your smile covered me
with an unknowable touch.
A mystery hidden where the wind
waits and the roses burn.
It was an instant of speaking
with the rain.
I didn't even guess I was happy.
Today,
Just for today
I heard your heart
laughing, embracing my words
as my dream remembered me.
I was myself and the moment was
of daffodils and lilies.
I didn't even guess I was happy.
Today
I performed so well.
I was a good actress:
I deceived mysef.
And while we laughed,
my orchids rose and
opened, feeling the kiss
of the sun, the light hug
of time.
I didn't even guess I was happy.
That moment was a metaphor.
When the dream was over,
a brute comfort was
everything I had.
I don't know when I will be
happy again.
I don't know if I will ever be happy
again.

You come to me in distance dreams... speaking softly of love
