Carayan Press: Bosquejos/Sketches
Soleares


Desde que te despediste,
nunca más te he vuelto a ver.
Mas sigo oyendo tu adiós,
recuerdo de lo que fue.

Tu nombre que tanto adoro,
otro lo dice y es dueño
ahora de tu caricia:
su sombra clavá en mi pecho.

Ya no quiero verte porque
tú no eres nada más
que un fantasma de un hermoso
sueño que no volverá.
Soleares


Ever since you told me farewell,
I never did see you again.
Yet your goodbye I do still hear,
reminding me of yesteryear.

Now your name, so sweet and sacred,
another utters it and is the keeper,
alas, also of your caress,
its shadow nailed right to my chest.

I don’t want to see you because
you’re no longer anything but
a ghost of a beautiful dream
that will return never again.
