Potency
(translation|modification of Potencia)
by Luis S. González-Acevedo
Love, powerful giant
torrential strike of rivers
compared to death
if cold feelings exist.
Love destroys…
Explosive! Dynamite!
It strikes and runs;
and from a distance, mocks and yells.
Love can be defeated
and buried as dead.
Live, Great Pulse!
Sentiment, please stay!
