Oh, How I'D Love To

Oh, how I would love that, starting today, you would become my skin So that I could take you places where I have never been. We would ride from rose to rose, our souls floating in the wind, And when the time to rest comes, I would lie on your chest, And we would meet again underneath this same strange sky. And through a long, long kiss, A kiss as long as your body, I would realize that not even a dream Could have been more tender. Oh, how I would love to be perfumed by your breath, And to know that there will be no parting, That parting that makes us leave each other at a certain time, Since people think that Love requires a moon To allow its honey to run freely through our hearts. And through a long, long kiss, A kiss as long as your body, I would realize that not even a dream Could have been more tender. Oh, how I would love to turn you into my guitar, So I could hug you freely and make my poem out of you And have your loving words become the caresses of my night, So that the breaking dawn would compete against our light. And through a long, long kiss, A kiss as long as your body, I would realize that it’s no dream, And I would tell you that I love you. © Karina Galvez
