Olhos

I don't usually write in English because it is hard for me, but I just noticed that the US is the second leading country from where comes the access to my blog. I don't have an originaly written English poem right now, but I thought it would be nice if, at least, I translated the last one^^

Almond eyes

Closed as little clefts

Cracks through which

Oriental sunbeams

Escape your soul

And enter into mine

Eyes that when smile

Become even sunnier

And melt the snow of this cold land

Eyes that close embarrassed

When hearing compliments

From my foreign language

Eyes that keep so many

Distant mysteries

Encrypted secrets

Eyes that bewitch me,

These almond-shaped eyes.
