Adriano Nunes: "Because I love you so"

"Because I love you so"

I love you although 

My heart is hurt.

Oh how the arrows of Cupid

Are deliciously painful!

I love you of quantum love,

Of immense love and illusion,

Because love -

This astonishment of

Existence and width -

Does not satisfy, while

Love, to give itself in vain.

Love always has in its 

Quiver a myriad of wile.

It always wants more and 

More of everything.

Lovers, then,

We are, due to the charm

Of acceptance, but not

By laws of convention.

Here in solitude

Of my bedroom, 

I compose a song 

With verve and emotion,

Because I love you so.

Adriano Nunes
