English-Spanish poetry by Gabriela Marie Milton and more news

The miracle of you

The moon’s right-hand
pours soul into my flesh
pigeons’ wings bring scents of lilac blooms
the air gets drunk with poetry
statuary women of the water
flaunt their hair
within the loneliness of you
my heart
rotates five equinoxes on a wooden spindle
your eyes pour flesh into my soul
my body germinates the sounds of growing leaves
I wash my hands into the waters of Guadalquivir
in the scented night of those who never sleep
I say
I love you
and in one single breath
our wedding is transformed
in an enraptured death
was it the moon?
was it the morning dew?
perhaps it was the miracle of you


La mano derecha de la luna
vierte alma dentro de mi carne,
los aleteos de las palomas traen aromas de lilas en flor,
el aire se emborracha de poesía,
imaginarias mujeres del agua, sirenas,
alardean de cabello.
Dentro de tu soledad
mi corazón
rota cinco equinoccios  cual uso de madera,
tus ojos vierten carne dentro de mi alma,
mi cuerpo germina los sonidos de hojas que brotan,
lavo mis manos en las aguas del Guadalquivir
en la perfumada noche de aquellos que nunca duermen.
Digo
“te quiero”
y en solo un respiro
nuestra boda se convierte
en un morir de éxtasis.
¿Fue la luna?
¿Fue el aroma de mayo?
Quizás fuiste tú el milagro.

    1. Thank you so much hon. I miss the old times. I really do. These days everyone is scattered all over the social media, most poetry moved to Tik Tok, some good poets stop writing. Anyway I hope you are ok. Sending you lots of love.
      xoxo

      1. You are so welcome, dearest Gab. I was away from WP almost the whole of last year, except for a few sporadic posts. Yes, some good poets are not writing these days. I miss them.
        I am fine and I can’t tell how much I enjoyed reading your words.
        Sending you lots of love back. ❣️❣️
