Return to sender (Thania)

i want you to steal my inspiration
and track you down till the end
mine on paper and in the tongues
of those who will read
the embodiment of a poem,
a verse, recited for all time
if only in my mind
to steal my inspiration
be in your mind forever
every last strategic phrase
I make love to you with every word i type
and I realize that in my life
women will come and go
lovers will fade
and memories will be erased
but you,
the one who had a table full of
latin american literature
you, who speaks with poetic authority
You stole my heart
from the first time we spoke
i have made it my goal
to steal your heart so you can steal my inspiration
so that i may steal it back
and have that be our infinite routine,
our little secret.
