lifeisadream: I LOVE YOU (Te quiero)
Your hands are my caress
my daily reminders
I love you because your hands
work for justice
if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two
your eyes are my spell
against a cursed day
I love you for your gaze
that looks and plants the future
your mouth that is yours and mine
your mouth doesn’t lie
I love you because your mouth
knows how to shout rebellion
if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two
and for your open face
and your wanderer’s footstep
and your weeping for the world
because you are of the people I love you.
and because love is not a halo
nor morality tale
and because we are a couple
that knows it is not alone
I love you in my paradise
which is to say that in my ideal country
people live happily
without even having permission
if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything

Hello EnglishElegance!
It is beautiful although it is more sentimental in Spanish, becuase the Poem was writen first time in Español.

Let´s Make A Deal
When you feel your wound about to bleed
When you feel your voice about to sob
Count on me.
Partner,
You know
You can count
On me
Not up to two
Or up to ten,
But count
On me.
If sometimes
You notice
That I look into your eyes
And a vein of love
You recognize in mine
Don't alert your rifles
Nor think "what a delirium",
In spite of the vein
Or perhaps because it exists
You can count
On me.
If several times
You feel me
Unsociable without reason
Don't think "what a slack",
The same way you can count
On me.
But let´s make a deal,
I would like to count
On you,
It is so nice
To know you exist,
One feels alive
And when I say this
I mean count
Even though it´s up to two
or even though it´s up to five,
Not to make you come
Hasty to my aid
But to know
certainly
That you know you can
Count on me.
unforgettable memories

Tactic And Strategy
My tactic is
Looking at you,
Learning how you are,
Loving you as you are,
My tactic is
Talking to you
And listening to you
To build with words
An indestructible bridge
My tactic is
Remaining in your memories
I don't know how
Nor with which pretext
But remaining with you.
My tactic is
Being frank,
And knowing that you are frank,
And not selling each other
Simulations
So that between us
There is no curtain
Nor abyss.
My strategy is,
However,
Deeper and
Easier,
My strategy is
That one of these days
I don't know how
Nor with which pretext
You finally
Need me.

Still
I can´t still believe it,
You are arriving to my side
And the night is a handful
Of stars and happiness.
I feel, taste, listen and see
Your face, your long step,
Your hands and, however,
I can´t still believe it.
Your return has so much
In common with you and me,
That, because I guess it I say it,
And because of the doubts I sing it.
No one ever could replace you
And the most trivial things
Become fundamental,
Because you are arriving home,
However I still
Doubt of this good luck,
Because the pleasure of having you
Seems to me like a fantasy.
But you come and it is sure
And you come with your gaze,
And for that reason your arrival
Makes the future magic.
And although I have not always understood
My blames and my breakdowns,
On the other hand I know that in your arms
The world has sense.
And if I kiss the audacity
And the mystery of your lips
There won't be doubts nor misunderstandings,
I will love you much more.
