CONTRAST - 21

YOU ARE (ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF VOUS ETES)

BY JIMMY CALDERON

You are a metaphor ...

You are a rose in a planet without a name, anonymous,
A star that shines in a clouded and darken sky,
A smile in an ocean of frowny faces,

And a shadow in the middle of the night.

At the same time ...

You are an antithesis ...

A lover of liberties reducing me to slavery,
The charitable source of all my ordeals,

The twin soul of my heart and its heartbreaker,
And the liberation to your own overload.

But you also are ...

You are a comparison ...

Because you are like nature, natural,

And in your own design you are eternal.
Like all my memories, rather surreal,
And like all of my dreams, you are unreal.

But in particular ...

You are my beloved ...
