Alfonsina in the depths

Alfonsina is in the depths of pleasure
because she said yes
to her immense lover, the sea,
who holds her tenderly and shelters her
with the illusion of being with him forever.
the pain within her body
wouldn’t be as large as the disappointment
of being abandoned by her immense lover;
of missing his cool, frothy kisses;
and the absence of his arms,
firm as the Atlantic coast;
which sweetly remove her clothing
to the lulling and caresses
of the rise and fall of his waves,
uncovering everything,
revealing her skin of a pale October moon;
her beautiful breasts, perfect pearls;
and her stomach of gleaming mother-of-pearl
from the Mar de Plata.

Alfonsina, you are the goddess Venus rising;
the passion and reason for the
ocean's rain storm of jealous, deperate tears
that smother you and leave you breathless.

at night, the moon and the stars are accomplices
and mute witnesses to this eternal love story
because Alfonsina gave her life to him.
and now, in the joyous dawn,
the seagulls are doves soaring across the sky
with happiness for the recently married couple,
the eternal lovers,
and there isn't a love on earth
larger than that of Alfonsina and the sea.
