A Ilha

Um facho de luz
Que a tudo seduz
Por aqui
Estrela cadente
Reluzentemente
Sem fim
E um cheiro de amor
Empestrado no ar
A me entorpecer
Quisera viesse do mar
E não de você
Um raio que inunda
De brilho
Uma noite perdida
Um estado de coisas
Tão puras
Que movem uma vida
E um verde profundo
No olhar
A me endoidecer
Quisera estivesse
No mar
E não em você
Porque seu coração
É uma ilha
A centenas
De milhas daqui
