Sonnet # 36

Luis A Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)



Go with your mouth and other men do praise.
Mistake a flower for an ugly weed.
They'll plenty give you for your eyes to gaze
And cold, false kisses as their hearts' good deed.
Go on, be used by hands no care for you.
And through your ears hear words as love and sex
With truth so blue as they your V to do.
My mind frees you; I will not dare to vex.
Go on, find out through night of kissing and touch
That in my hands the touch was true and sweet.
My kisses were profound and love had much.
And in my heart you were in all complete.
You of my love are tired which is so good.
Go where there's wealth but treatment hard as wood.
