From the book «en nuestra casa» the poem «te quiero»: click here to read the poem in spanish 

I love you

I love you
wrapped around my waist
I love you

with your limbs
embracing my body
I love you

and the wind
and the air
and the rain outside

and my eyes searching
for your quiescent, gentle lips

I love you

without pretense
I love you

without boundaries
I love you

just as rivers always lead out to the sea
like the raindrops that strike my windowpane

like your laugh
open and free
I love you

like the love that we work at day to day
with tender kisses
and caresses

with yearning, anguish and joy

with tiny distant stars
slowly drifting
in this cold night
I love you

wrapped around my waist
I love you

without pretense
I love you

without boundaries
I love you
