I am flesh, I am soul

Source

 
The wait is prolonged,
your slowness makes me despair.
I feel like I've waited for you
my whole life.

My body is not made of metal
nor of stone, I'm not a mural.
I am flesh, I am soul,
I am fire that burns,
I am a river that cries out.

Time stretches out
like chewing gum in the air,
while your footsteps hide
in the shadows of a landscape.

I am not made of wood,
I am not an object,
my heartbeat is a scream,
my desire a secret.

So come, I implore you,
shorten this wait,
I'm not made of wood,
I am sincere life.
