Surrender

My love letters long for an answer 

Like a virgin waiting for a deceased soldier 

Seductive under the festive bullets of a killer 

Sedate in the presence of the demise coming closer 

Embrace me one last time before departure 

Kiss my lips and hold me tighter 

Do not let go of our poisonous worship, our predominant master 

Do not withdraw from our smothering smolder 

Love stories happen to be vulgar 

Ours is limpid like a love prayer 

Like a heart crying a river 

Like our dreamed-up roof painted in temper 

How can I be touched by another stranger? 

When my corpse is lifeless as you run farther 

All I am is a perished creature 

The return of my soldier is all that I hanker 

All these prayers are not gifted an answer 

All this patience is not awarded with a closure 

Perhaps it is time to kiss goodbye the summer 

When our eyes played a melody of ardor 

I set you free now and I surrender
