“Ella es”

Ella es brisa entre magnolias,
manos suaves de acuarela,
pinta mundos con memoria
y escribe el alma que desvela.

Tiene pétalos por labios
y relámpagos por vena,
una fiera que camina
con la gracia de una estrella.

Su voz arrulla tormentas,
su risa, luz que no engaña,
lleva sueños en el pecho
y una jungla en la mirada.

Cuando escribe, se desarma
con palabras que acarician,
cuando ama, es universo
y en su fuego, nadie avisa.

Quiere un mundo sin heridas,
sin fronteras, sin rencores,
donde el arte sea bandera
y la paz, todos los soles.

Ternura con garra oculta,
corazón de sol y escarcha,
es mujer, es fuego, es nube,
es el todo… sin coraza.
