mis ceLos

I’m jeaLous of the sun
for warming up your face
I’m jeaLous of the stars
for brightening your dreams
I’m jeaLous of the wind
and of the air you breathe
I’m jeaLous of the ground
you waLk upon each day
I’m jeaLous of the piLLow
on which you kneeL and pray
I’m jeaLous of the book
you touch to read at night
I’m jeaLous of the mirror
refecting your sweet smiLe

I’m jeaLous of the woman
that had known you for years
whiLe I had just a bLink of eyes
of Love with you
I’m jeaLous of her race
for being aLso yours
I’m jeaLous of the Language
and its forbidden words
I’m jeaLous of the tears
because they meLt your heart
whiLe mine are onLy words
you sometimes read about…

I’m jeaLous of the distance
I’m jeaLous of the past
I’m jeaLous of the fate
that gave to the others the chance
to be cLose to you
A history of her
A memory of me

I’m jeaLous of the sun
I’m jeaLous of the stars
My jeaLousy consumes me
As fire meLts the ice…
