Love Poems
I thought it may be helpful to translate the poems in my last post into English. Here they are! Do let me know which one you like best. When was the last time you wrote a love poem for the object of your affection?
I Will Never Forget You (Nunca Te Olvidare)
I cannot speak the language
of your people,
because I only know the language
of my heart.
Do you realise what is in my heart?
I have a secret
and it is very precious to me.
You are the love of my life,
my last love.
We are one soul
as well as two bodies.
Often I forget myself.
But never will I forget you.
I want to have your lips
once more, my darling.
I am hungry and I am thirsty,
but only for your caress,
only for your love,
only for you.
Today it is raining,
but I am not sad.
The sun is always with me,
because you are with me
in my heart.
naked (desnudo)
here i am naked
before you.
my heart in my hand,
my soul is yours, too.
i have a secret.
for the first time
i am drunk with love.
i want to have you in my life
because there is no one
i love more.
always in my heart
your name i write.
i am woman
before you.
this has not changed.
still my heart
is in my hand.
today i love you.
tomorrow i love you more.
Without You Now (Sin Ti Ahora )
My memories of you are of joys and tears.
But I do not regret them, my darling.
I loved you with my heart, my soul, my body.
You have been part of me, haven’t you known?
I am without you now.
I am here, you are there - two roads, yours and mine,
Converged before but never more.
Your world is too distance, far away from me.
That says everything.
Always I will love you, that I will not doubt.
I cannot love another for I am yours,
Now, until we meet again in the next life.

Hi Dr. Joy,
I’ve just read some of your recent posts and I like them all very much. I wanted to send this to your last post but that was impossible for some reason. But it doesn’t matter, anyway.
There is no wonder I enjoy in reading your posts because I am a great romantic in heart since I know for myself. And no matter how much romantic I am, I am a down to earth woman who exactly know the difference between the real life and the life I use to imagine in my head. That is the world of my dreams where I relax a little bit of this world and this turbulent times. This is the topic on which I would have to say so much but unfortunately, or not (I am not sure lol lol) it is 10:20 pm now and I am feeling tired. So I’d better go now.
I only want to add that I like your posts. Your advices are very constructive, useful and wise and I completely agree with everything you wrote in them. I also like your poems; I don’t know which one I would choose for the best.
Have a nice weekend!
