INES SONNET

INES SONNET

From the eyes runs the water of Mondego

the hair looks like the houpais

Ines! Ines! Quiet Queen

a king who for love can no longer.

Immense love that is also blind

love that makes men immortal.

Ines! Ines! Distance I do not reach

killed so early for living too much.

Your gestures are green your arms

are seagulls poised in your lap

of a timeless turquoise sea.

The swallows follow your footsteps

and you dying with dull eyes

Ines! Ines! Ines from Portugal.
