I love and despise, how only despise, those which love;
I bartered my soul, the body, the heart in a kiss;
I love! and the love is smoke, is cloud, transformed in nothing.
Then I scorn; and I find the kiss's irony, the word's irony;
and the love is vanishing like smoke in the campfire.

I love and despise, how only despise, those which love;
raindrops mitigating unsatisfied thirst,
contempt, skin to skin; when the caresses are false,
I see you walk away, watch you go, looking for other arms;
another mouth, where your unsatisfied thirst is quenched.

I love and despise; between the fire and the ice,
between the passion and the scorn, between a kiss's farewell.
It's cold the words hurt, cut, shout, cry in desolation.

I love and despise!
ocean wave in calmness, stormy sea, crashing its fury against the stones.
and later., nothing!
later the cloud vanishing with the sun.
