I am the one

[poem included in my poetry collection

Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings]

I am the voice of your past loves
resounding in your wildest fantasies
dressed in roses at the altar of your dreams
I am the one you’ve never had
my soul flows from the tears of the Nile
from the hands of children who still beg
through ruins, darkness, and deep pain
through wars which they will never understand
I am the last who will be saved
for I have sinned under the shadow of His cross
when Spanish fountains cry in the sunset
I am the Desdemona who you’ve never met
today Granada’s just the place
in which García Lorca once was killed
I am the feather of a gold macaw bird
and in the city where bells toll
I am the one whose cries you’ve never heard.

  12. First you write an excellent first line that catches attention immediately, then you surprise me with your images and thoughts, and in the end you write another brilliant line that, for me, complements the first one. Yes, you are the one — you are great!

  26. Ah, this is lovely. It’s heart aching, almost soul Stirring. But so very eloquent. So very poignant. And yes, so so very beautiful.
    I like the reference to Othello.
    I’m still trying to gather myself after this beautiful read. Have a fantastic day girl. Hope your shoulder’s doing good.

    1. Shanyu, you made my day. Your beautiful comment stole my heart. Thank you for the kind wishes. My shoulder? I cried last night. I may have to have surgery. Only the idea kills me. And it is my right shoulder. I can hardly type now. If I have to have surgery I will be out of commission for a while. I’d better stop talking about because I am going to start crying again.
      Sending you love my dearest friend and I hope you are well.
      xoxo

      1. I am so sorry to hear that Gabriela. Please know that all of us are here with you. I hope for a real speedy recovery. Don’t worry about that surgery, you will be fine. You have all of us here. Just take care.
        Sending you tulips.
        Good day.

      2. Shanyu, thank you from my heart for your beyond beautiful words. You are really kind. I still hope I don’t need surgery but we will see what the doctor says at the end of the next week.
        I wish you a beautiful weekend. Be happy. Be love. Stay safe 🤗🥰🌹

  32. I was pleasantly struck by this poem which brings echoes of legendary love stories and by the harmony with which it opens to feelings. So I translated it in italian to be able to include it in the Gioielli Rubati, a poetry column on May 30, which I edit with Flavio Almerighi.

    Io sono l’unica

    Sono la voce dei tuoi amori passati
    che si fa eco nelle tue fantasie più selvagge
    vestita di rose all’altare dei tuoi sogni
    Sono colei che non hai mai avuto,
    la mia anima scorre dalle lacrime del Nilo
    dalle mani dei bambini che ancora mendicano
    attraverso rovine, oscurità e dolore profondo
    attraverso guerre che non capiranno mai.
    Sono l’ultima che si salverà
    perché ho peccato all’ombra della Sua croce
    quando le fontane spagnole piangono al tramonto
    Sono la Desdemona che non hai mai incontrato,
    oggi Granada è il luogo
    in cui una volta fu ucciso García Lorca.
    Sono la piuma dell’uccello ara dorato
    e nella città dove suonano le campane
    sono la sola di cui non hai mai udito i pianti.

    poesia di Gabriela Marie Milton inclusa nella raccolta “Passioni: poesie d’amore ed altri scritti”

    with many thanks tu you

    1. Dear Daniela,
      Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you wonderful words. The translation means the world to me. I am beyond grateful to you for your kindness. Equally I am grateful to Flavio for translating in Italian several poems included in my poetry book. I am familiar with Gioielli Rubati. Flavio included me twice – if my memory serves me right – when I was writing under the name Gabriela M.

      Again, my deepest gratitude and I look forward to May 30th.
      Have a fabulous weekend 🌹
      Gabriela
