Combat del somni

Damunt de tu només les flors
Eren com una ofrena blanca:
La llum que daven al teu cos
Mai més seria de la branca;

Tota una vida de perfum
Amb el seu bes t'era donada.
Tu resplendies de la llum
Per l'esguard clos atresorada.

¡Si hagués pogut ésser sospir
De flor! Donar-me, com un llir,
A tu, perquè la meva vida
S'anés marcint sobre el teu pit.

I no saber mai més la nit,
Que al teu costat fóra esvaïda.

Aquestra nit un mateix vent
I una mateixa vela encesa
Devien dur el teu pensament
I el meu per mars on la tendresa

Es torna música i cristall.
El bes se'ns feia transparència
- Si tu eres l'aigua, jo el mirall -
Com si abracéssim una absència.

¿El nostre cel fóra, potser,
Un somni etern, aixi, de besos
Fets melodia, i un no ser

De cossos junts i d'ulls encesos
Amb flames blanques, i un sospir
D'acariciar sedes de llir?

Jo et pressentia com la mar
I com el vent, immensa, lliure,
Alta, damunt de tot atzar
I tot destí. I en el meu viure,

Com el respir. I ara que et tinc
Veig com el somni et limitava.
Tu no ets un nom, ni un gest. No vinc
A tu com a la imatge blava

D'un somni humà. Tu no ets la mar,
Que és presonera dins de platges,
Tu no ets el vent, pres en l'espai.

Tu no tens límits; no hi ha, encar,
Mots per a dir-te, ni paisatges
Per ser el teu món - ni hi seran mai.

Fes-me la vida transparent,
com els teus ulls;
torna ben pura la mà meva,
il al pensament
duu-m'hi la pau.
Altra aventura no vull,
sinó la de seguir
l'estela blanca que neixia
dels teus camins.
I no llanguir
per ser mirall d'uns ulls.
Voldria ser com un riu oblidadís
que es lliura al mar,
les aigües pures de tota imatge
amb un anhel de blau.
I ser llavors feliç
de viure lluny d'amors obscures
amb l'esperança del teu cel.

Ara no sé si et veig, encar.
Els ulls et miren, i voldria 
que aixó fos veure’t. Si sabia 
que et veig i et sé, com fóra avar 

de poder dir que cap mirall 
del món, ni l’aigua més serena 
no et saben dir; que sols alena 
un pit que estimi el que el cristall 

no veu ni diu! Si fos així! 
Que tu només fossis en mi! 
Lluny dels meus ulls, tan limitada,

tan reduïda a gest, a esguard, 
a imatge, a veu, que jo fos part 
de tu, vivent per ma mirada.
