I cling to small things:
The deep color of your eyes;
The poetic rhythm of your hips;
The beautiful lines of your face

I cling to small things:
The emphasis with which you say some words;
The softness of your gestures;
The stars that escape from your smile

I cling to small things:
hope;
dream;
desire

I'm a castaway in the life
and do not want to drown in this icy ocean,
Then I cling to small things,
and swim desperately

I swim trying to reach the island of your heart

Lovely. So lovely. I have no other words to describe this poem. The last two stanzas. Wow. This has a sort of sophistication that I rarely see around here (or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places). One question: first stanza, third line. "poetic rhythm of HIS hips"? Who's he? This confuses me a little. Nevertheless, beautifully written. Words aren't enough to describe this beautiful work of art.
