That cannot fly.”

A love poem by Oriza:

Our Love

Our love is raging sea,
Which suddenly calms down…
As autumn breeze,
Involves and fascinates us …
Our love is horseback riding
Sorrels in the amplitude,
Hummingbirds in flight,
Spreading excitement …

Storms of caress
Emerge from our love,
Hurricanes of incredible delights,
Waves of fertile flavor…
It is an intriguing mix
Power and tenderness,
Of multicolored aromas,
Of sweetness and madness …

Our love is naive
Childlike smile,
Chains that trap us
In bondage bonanza …
Each hug is a request,
The request, a promise,
Of whom longs to dedicate oneself,
Of whom feels for love hurries.

Anyway …
…. Our love is like …

A time traveler
Which lovely mix
The past and the future
In our eternal present.
