You left a particle of amber, the most beautiful,

at the first touch of my lips

 

The sweetness, the source of your breath,

I felt joy and began living; 

I drank the gentle breeze of your kisses

on a winter's night

 

Something divine, transfigured,

drawn without words;

the glory of being in your arms 

 

We shared the sky at night and honey at dawn,

for between heaven and earth

you are the root of a profound love

that I can’t silence

 

I feel you intensely, 

and I’ll feel you ’til the end…
