BITTER JOY by Dr. José Luis López


BITTER JOY

Dr. José Luis López



I must want a fictitious life

because I have not known how to give love

while time marches on

I find myself in darkness and silence

the inert spirit without a yawn

the air runs out, covering the light

It is the prison of the entrails

that eats me like cancer

it unstoppably removes my body

I sometimes wish to leave vaporless

do not respawn until completed

because this suffering is incessant

even if he has the smile...die!

and his limited breath...fades away!

and now there is only one sentence left

try to refocus what is broken

Even so I remain weak in total agony

waiting for the inhuman treachery

let it strike me down anyway

and be able to succumb...slowly, and in peace

It's not because I distrust destiny

rather I try to reach such a step

nor do I intend to cheer the joy

lies the disastrous mystery...it lives within!

I am a total slave to your insults

looking to find the miraculous key

to escape towards that divine tunnel

Otherwise I will be your eternal giñapo

at the mercy of whippings, screams, and wounds

I even convince myself that all my life

I have been an indelible...bitter joy!

just seeing the bad guy cry... the madness laughs!


Dr. José Luis López is a poet from Puerto Rico.
