Bilingual Micropoems by Ramina Herrera Arteaga

< Spanish & English >

El encanto de la brisa 
aviva el alma, 
tu sonrisa...
mi mirada.
The charm of the breeze
revive the soul,
your smile... 
my look.

No quedan más rocíos, 
solamente rosas 
a mitad del camino.
No more dew left,
only roses
half way.

Ha resplandecido el cristal
en la hoguera,
una tarde cualquiera 
de música y arena.
The crystal has shone
at the stake,
any afternoon 
of music and sand.

Misterio de estrofas y campos, 
que llenas mi alma 
a la muerte del día.
Mystery of stanzas and fields,
that you fill my soul
to the death of the day.

Miro cómo todo me es ajeno, 
como si de pronto no existiera 
como si el aullido 
de ese perro no me tocara,
como si todo fuera nada.
I look at how everything is alien to me,
as if suddenly it did not exist
as if the howl 
of that dog did not touch me,
as if everything were nothing.

Si caminando se hace caminos 
porque no encontré el tuyo al andar, 
si amando se construye cariño 
porque no encontré el 
tuyo 
al amar.
If walking paths are made
because I did not find yours when I was walking,
if loving is built, darling
because I did not find 
you
when loving.

Amanecer de rocíos tiernos 
violáceo cielo que me dice 
"te quiero."
Dawn of tender dews
purple sky that tells me
"I love you."
□ 

En tí habito, 
habitas en mi
que más ofrecerte
solo mis células 
que hablan de ti.
I live in you, 
you live in me
what else to offer you
only my cells that 
talk about you.
