I HAD NO TIME (oct.11/2023)

I had no time to love you

between sculptures and your beautiful figure

with your speaking eyes

and your wrapping dresses.

 

I had no time to love you

with your innocent lips

while I crossed the people

with confused looks.

 

I had no time to love you

between busy Belgian streets

with colorful corners

and a worn-out hurry.

 

I had no time to love you

with your tilted head

your shining glasses

while time passed by.

 

I had no time to love you

between the whiteness of the fountain

and hundreds of tourists

who urged me to say goodbye.

 

I was lucky to meet you

in your beautiful and languid figure

in your constant passion

in your red glowing lips

 

but I had no time to love you.
