What is love?

I can't believe it's almost a year and a half since my last post!!! Sometimes life gets busier and one has to give up some things and make more space for others.I am not going to get your bored with things I did during my absence from the blog and I am not going to promise you that I will post on a regular basis on the blog. I will try to do it as often as I can, maybe more this month since I am on vacation. I did not write a poem in a long time and then in June I wrote one entitled What is love?. This one is especially dedicated to my husband, my friend, my lover, my soul mate.

What is love?

What is love?

A thousand songs

A thousand words

A thousand moments

That I spent with you;

A memory we share together

A touch that wakes up our butterflies.

What is love?

A thousand and one emotions

A million thoughts that pass

through my mind

And you are in all of them

A sweet obsession you

surrender to without questions.

What is love?

Is you and me

saying the same thing at the same time

Is you and me

walking holding hands when no one else does

(too old to be doing that, they say)

Is you and me

wanting the same things in our lives

Is you and me

having coffee in the morning while

smiling at the sun

Is you and me

sleeping in each other's arms as if

every night is the first or the last we spend

together

Is you and me

wishing upon the same star even when

we are apart.

What is love?

Is you and me

or better yet... Love is US!

sometimes the best thing is silence

First of all thank you Elena for your nice comments even if they were in Spanish:) I started this blog a few months ago when I could no longer afford the hosting costs for my own domain name. All these things I am posting are either mine or they get all the proper credits although I am trying to post only my creations, either written or photographed. I don't have any adds on the blog because this one in particular is mostly created for my soul. Of course, I am happy when someone stumbles across this blog and spends a few minutes here and I am pleased when people take their time to leave a comment or drop a line.

Today I have a poem called Silence. Although I majored in journalism and mass communications, I am not an extremely talkative person and sometimes I just like it when it silent around me. Of course this is very rare now that I have a five years old beautiful girl, but I guess I now treasure more the moments I am being alone or with my husband only. And of course, most of the romantic or nice moments are "spoiled" by my little one.

Anyways, here is the poem I've mentioned. I hope you like it.

Silence 

I'm sitting alone in my room
Waiting for the phone to ring.
The moon watches me smiling
From behind the clouds.
Only me and the stars
Seem to be awake,
And I'm still waiting.

I decide to go for a walk.
Through the peace of the night,
Only the lights keep me company.
I finally go home and check my messages:
Just one.
Silence.
I can hear my heartbeat
Trying to tell me something,
But I can't understand her,
And I hear the tone.
I feel like a stranger to myself.
And the phone is as quiet as I am.
And you?
I couldn't have written this poem without you.
