Jamila Mafra


Always lost
In this strange forest
The brightness of your eyes
Without that I know leads me
Sometimes even to where I did not intend.

What is that thing that happens
Between the dark haze
Of This forest that always haunts me?

Ah, if only I could understand!
I am confused and contradictory, you told me,
But I do not know the answer
To explain this feeling hopeless and insane
That haunts our minds
That way inhumane.

Always lost
In this strange forest
The brightness of your eyes
Without that I know leads me
Sometimes even to where I did not intend.
