To an actress

love poem

 

* 1 *

Do not be surprised if I did not applaud, acclaim you, jump out of my place to encourage you and my eyes did not shine with admiration.

Do not be surprised. I did not miss the splendor of the scene, but I was stupefied as people were screaming with admiration around me. I was the only idiot because I did not know as they knew it was a show!

You dazzled me, O heroine, O star of all roles, O actress.

* 2 *

You sowed seductive words on my way. You wrote me poems that made me Navigate to a paradise for both of us and an appointment that our two mouths would pick it.

You told me, you swore to me that you would be with me forever a Companion of present and future.

Do not blame a man, cheated by your sweet words. He did not distinguish in it the artificial tone. What fault did he do when you played your role wonderfully?

* 3 *

My love, who was yesterday my love. If you see the nightingale cooing in your garden one day, and it was previously singing. If you see in his eyes tears, and in his wing a tremble. Do not think that love made him sigh for you. Do not think that he will roll his face in the dust to expose you his passion and sorrow. However, when he saw his dreams evaporate. His grief does not make him forget the wonderful scene. He comes knocking on your door to say, "O actress, bravo, you have reached the summit of success"..
