Tus ojos, ojos no son, niña, sino dos navajas con que destrozas y rajas el más duro corazón. Y tu boca celestial no es boca, es un vaso lleno de hechizos y de veneno, entre perlas y coral. Por experiencia lo sé, vi tus ojos y al instante con un hierro penetrante roto mi pecho encontré. Tu suave voz me encantó bebí tu sonrisa y luego de ardiente ponzoña el fuego por mis venas circuló.
