Extinguish my eyes
Josep Soler i Sardà
Extinguish my eyes I still can see you:
Close my ears I can hear your footsteps fall:
And without feet I still can follow you:
Voiceless I can still return your call.
Break off my arms, and I can embrace you:
Enfold you with my heart as with a hand:
Hold my heart, my brain will take fire of you
As flax takes fire from a brand!
And flame will sweep in a flood:
Through all the singing currents of my blood: Mmmmmmm....
