El deseo es rojo

    You like to smile.

   But you are like a fire

   that wants to burn

   forever. I like your

   wide, white smile

   framed by two vivid

   red lips. Your hair

   as well: a mane of

   red that wants to be

   admired. Attracted,

   I draw nearer to

   the thirsty flame.
