You Are Wonderful

As if I was pristine locked in the village,
Do you know that I call your name openly,
While sleeping, eating, reading or writing
And my brain walks my head to and fro
With benign revolutionary spirit
Like a substance supposed to be exuded
from a spiritualistic medium during a trance?

How many men can be like the Alpine plant
With white leaves and small flowers,
that grow among rocks?

You’re a large imposing building
that is built up in this heart .

Has my world been destroyed?

It’s only a clown that can make effigy of you,
because you are much, because love is not like a fag, don’t keep mute I say prithee!

Now I know that bee that produces the honeycomb
Which tastes fine, also stings.

I have seen the test of time, not by age,
But in mind.
