Dos cuerpos
por Octavio Paz
Dos cuerpos frente a frente
son a veces dos olas
y la noche es océano.
Dos cuerpos frente a frente
son a veces dos piedras
y la noche desierto.
Dos cuerpos frente a frente
son a veces raíces
en la noche enlazadas.
Dos cuerpos frente a frente
son a veces navajas
y la noche relámpago.
Dos cuerpos frente a frente
son dos astros
que caen en un
cielo vacío.

Let me be the one… (Part I)
Let me be the one
that you think of first, when that chocolate cake beckons in the pastry shop…
Let me be the one
that you turn right to, when your car won’t start at the bar…
Let me be the one
that you bring home to, that shivering kitten you found by the roadside…
Let me be the one
that you can’t wait to tell, that funny story in the news…
Let me be the one
that you get mad at, when things seem to fall apart…
Let me be the one
that you curl up in, when the world seems too much…
Let me be the one
that you pout your lips at, when things don’t go your way…
Let me be the one
that you snuggle up to, when the rain outside doesn’t seem to stop…
Let me be the one
that you give a cold shoulder to, when I do something wrong…
Let me be the one
that you make up to, when we both feel abashed…
Let me be the one
that you wrap your arms around, when you need some comforting…
Let me be the one,
that you titillate, when the mood strikes you…
Let me be the one
that you throw your arms up in frustration about, my stubborn ways…
Let me be the one
that you make fun of, my bumbling dance steps…
Let me be the one
that you vent your anger at, all the injustice and outrage this world has to offer…
But let me be the one
that you pour your heart out to, your deepest needs, thoughts, fears, wishes, and desires…
Oh, let me be the one
that you yawn at first, after waking up each morning…
And let me be the one
that you smile at last, before closing your eyes each night…
Let me be the one.
