You are the Orchid

 

Oh, please, unknown sweetness,

Soothe your sudden coldness.

Even when  distant the  lover should

Show the quiet abandonment of pure sister.

 

Be voluptuous, make me fall asleep with your cuddles

Equal to your sighs, to your lookthat cradles.

Your sudden disappearance, this impatient spasm,

It is not worth a single kiss, even when it lies.

 

That you say, Oh man of the earth, in your gold heart

And before me, the wild passion that plays the clarion!

Let the trumpet play at will before the universe,

Place your forehead with mine, your word, your hand too.

 

That you are the flower that prefers tropical climates,

That grows, many times, with the help of a tree,

Because it relies on it to become more exposed to the sun.
