There Are Loves (S. Membarak)

Oh, my well-loved

What wouldn’t I do for you?

To have you a second,

Far away from the world

And close to me?

Oh, my well-loved

Like the River Magdalena,

That melts in the sand of the sea,

I want to melt in you.

There are loves that become resistant to the damages,

Like wine that betters with the years,

So grows what I feel for you.

There are loves that wait for the winter and bloom

And in the nights of autumn  green again

As the love I feel for you.

Oh my well-loved,

Don’t forget the sea

That many nights has seen me cry

So many memories of you.

Oh my well-loved,

Don’t forget the day

That separated your life,

From the poor life that I had to live.

There are loves that become resistant to the damages,

Like wine that betters with the years,

So grows what I feel for you.

There are loves that seem to end but [instead] bloom

And in the nights of autumn  green again

Just as the love I feel for you.

I for you…for you…like the love I feel for you.

This Great Lakes Swimmer song inspired me so much today.  What a beautiful tribute to someone you love.

‘Your Rocky Spine’ (don’t cheat! read as you listen or listen THEN read :)

I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes

The mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it

Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you�re mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you�re mine
[ Great Lake Swimmers Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you

And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display

They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair
