by Olavo Brás Martins dos Guimarães Bilac (1865 - 1918)

Um beijo
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Foste o beijo melhor da minha vida,
ou talvez o pior...Glória e tormento,
contigo à luz subi do firmamento,
contigo fui pela infernal descida!

Morreste, e o meu desejo não te olvida:
queimas-me o sangue, enches-me o pensamento,
e do teu gosto amargo me alimento,
e rolo-te na boca malferida.

Beijo extremo, meu prêmio e meu castigo,
batismo e extrema-unção, naquele instante
por que, feliz, eu não morri contigo?

Sinto-me o ardor, e o crepitar te escuto,
beijo divino! e anseio delirante,
na perpétua saudade de um minuto....
