Because your eyes were two flames
And your brooch wasn’t pinned right,
I thought you had spent the night
In playing forbidden games.
Because you were vile and devious
Such deadly hatred I bore you:
To see you was to abhor you
So lovely and yet so villainous.
Because a note came to light,
I know now where you had been,
And what you had done unseen —
Cried for me all the long night.
POR TUS OJOS ENCENDIDOS… (Verso XIX)
Por tus ojos encendidos
Y lo mal puesto de un broche,
Pens
(Jose Marti)
