SUCCUMBING IN FRONT OF YOU

--
My view fixed on the horizon,
where the treetops barely focused,
while my breathing was getting a little harder every minute,
feeling like the heat became part of me.
--
Inevitable acceptance that regulates my reaction,
watching in slow motion each of your movements,
is that fear invades me at your closeness
and I just stand still before you.
--
I don't think I'm the one who deserves your aggression,
sweaty my being while I see you move towards me,
but begging at least to know the origin of your fire,
because I understand the inevitable tragic end you will give me.
--
Your tentacles hugging the ground before me,
even pain without being aware of its own existence,
my mind trying to escape from the current,
escape to an alternative world where my body is far from here.
--
My skin resisted as much as I could before your voracious presence,
If I give you the air because you want to take it away from me,
or maybe you don't understand that without me you are nothing in the future,
because the world would be deserted and deep.

This was my participation in the @felixgarciap Lyric Poetry contest, held last month, where the word to be inspired by that opportunity was HOT.
This is the English version of that poetry,
for see the Spanish version press here.
