ACLARACIÓN

Love is not lust,
although they both tend to rust.
He lusts for me,
although I'd rather have him lost for me.
Or maybe not.
Love seems so far fetched right now, so out of reach.
And then again when I'm with him, I glow with glee.

THE STAGES OF CHOCOLATE I IGNORED

I have liked chocolate always, since I remember it has always been there. When I met Willy Wonka and his great expertisse in the transformation of plain cocoa beans into exquisite mouthwatering chocolate through the wonderfully scrumptious descriptions of Roald Dahl I started wetting my mouth each time I read about chocolate and an urge was born. One day I discovered the delectable taste of dark chocolate and I started the affair of my life. That is until I met Mr. Charming.
There was just another one who gifted me with the delicacies of chocolate, of course. There was the gentle giant of across the waters, the kind Englishman who offered me the Turkish Delight along with many other samples of tasty chocolate morsels, who on special occasions sent me dark chocolate from Cadbury's to celebrate life and the joy of knowing and sharing a very special relationship. Of course I remember, of course I will never forget. He has a most special place in my heart.
But Mr. Charming, from just across the city is much nearer my home. How things happened will be decided over time. For the moment we have an affair, how long will it last, we still don't know. But, right now, what matters is chocolate and how he uses it. Once, during pizza and beer we discussed chocolate, or rather I brought up my love for it. He paid attention. That's something that seduces, men paying attention.
The next time we met he asked me, "Remember when you told me you loved chocolate?"
"Yes." I nodded.
"Well, what is there in the car door's pocket?"
There were two packages of Lindt chocolate, not just any chocolate, one was 70% cocoa and the other 90% of rich, dark, and elegant chocolate. I was surprised. I took them with delight.
"And, do you know what it means to give chocolate?" He asked with a mischievous and lusty look.
"No..." I said in a dubious tone.
"That I want to have sex with you. And do you know what it means to accept the chocolate?"
"That I accept?" I answered quite certain.
"Yes." He said and he kissed me.
Just that day a few hours before I had received chocolate from my best friend who is gay and who I'm certain doesn't want to have sex with me.
Just a couple of minutes ago I was eating a piece of the 90% chocolate and as it melted in my mouth and gently slipped down my throat, I playfully texted my lover, "What is it supposed to mean when I actually eat the chocolate?"
A few minutes later, just when my boss had left he texted me back, "That you accept to have sex with me for the rest of life."
Although I know love and lust never last for so long I smiled. It's nice to be so desired. Did I say he is younger than me?

CELOS

Y cuando me dijo, -Me preguntó qué iba a hacer este fin de semana...- sentí una punzada espantosa. No se supone que le importe qué va a hacer nadie el fin de semana. ¿O sí?
No quiero, no quiero, no quiero.
Era parte de no volver a tener nada con nadie, no quiero volver a sentir esa inseguridad, esa desazón, ese dolor, esa puñalada. Estar del otro lado, tener la otra experiencia es para evitar eso. Al no tener la     obligación ni el derecho, al pretender la libertad quería no sentir eso, porque se supone que entonces yo era el motivo, yo era quien lo causa, no quien lo sufre ni quien lo padece. Pero tal vez no, tal vez me está dando una cubetada de realidad fría y amarga como la cerveza. Ya dejé de tomar café negro, ¿tendré que dejar de tomar cerveza oscura? De todos modos, no salgo perdiendo por dejar de tomar eso. Pero si esto sigue así, vuelvo a perder todo. Y mis pérdidas no son económicas, son de paz. No quiero perder mi paz. Ya me dolió mucho el corazón en el pasado.

ESTA MAÑANA

Al despertar me sorprendió la fuerza de mi bostezo,
la urgencia de mi desperezo.
Me encontré demasiado larga y pesada,
lenta y relajada,
muy mullida y cálida
arropada en esa piel anaranjada y rayada.
Me levanté a beber
y sonreí de lado
cuando en el lago
alcancé a ver
mis enormes ojos amarillos
delineados en negro y blanco.
Apoyada en mis enormes y fuertes patas
caminé y salté hacia la roca lisa
con sensualidad, sin prisa.
No está mal esto que ha pasado, pensé y me acosté a tu lado.

MIL BESOS

Solo pregunto,
¿Me vas a mandar mil besos cada noche?

LOS BESOS QUE SE QUEDARON ATORADOS

Teníamos que hablar.
Teníamos que acordar.
Teníamos que decidir.
Pero yo me la pasaba viendo tu boca.
Y tú la mía.
Y me tocabas con el pulgar la palma de la mano.
Y luego yo tocaba la tuya con el mío.
Y fingíamos no saber qué hacer.
Pero las manos, los ojos, las bocas sabían lo que querían.
Y me dejaste en la puerta.
Y apenas nos rozamos con los labios.
(Gran mentira sí nos besamos con pasión minutos antes.)
Y nos faltaron muchos, pero muchos besos.
Mil siguen siendo pocos.

¿Y TÚ QUÉ QUIERES?

¡Qué sé yo!
No quiero que me mantengas, ni que pagues los recibos, ni las cuentas.
Quiero que mantengas mis ilusiones, mis fantasías, mis deseos, mis pasiones.
No quiero que te conozcan mis amigos, ni mi familia, ni mi madre.
No quiero que vayas a la iglesia, ni al mercado, ni a nada.
Quiero que conozcas mis anhelos, mis suspiros, mis sueños, mis palabras, mis gestos.
Quiero que me lleves al paraíso, al hotel, a la noche, a lo oscuro, al pecado.
