English-Spanish poem by Gabriela Marie Milton

I’ll return

I open my veins in warm waters
each time when you like what I write
the sound of the sands in the darkness
the eyes of the desert are dried
the midnight windows are opened
I jump like a lynx from a cage
dressed in cold winds and in black
barefoot
I land on the yolk of young times
I paid all the bills do not worry
I buried my bracelets by the green wall
white shirts are lined in the closet
this sand tastes like canvas and paint
I sharpen my eyes
my fingers are stretched
from the cosmic tomorrow
I enter tonight

I’ll return do not worry
disheveled, loves cry between us
remember the words of the Persian Sibyl
who sold you my soul for three coins?
the time is fluid like rivers
water lilies can bloom in the sand

Volveré

Rebosan mis venas en agua cálida
cada vez que me dices que te gusta lo que escribo.
El sonido de la arena en la oscuridad,
los ojos del desierto están secos,
las ventanas de la medianoche abiertas…
salto como un lince de la jaula
vestida de negro y vientos fríos,
descalza,
aterrizo en la yema de los viejos tiempos.
Pagué mis deudas, tranquilo,
enterré las pulseras junto a la pared verde,
las camisas blancas están alineadas en el armario,
¡esta arena sabe a lienzo y pintura!
afilo la mirada,
mis dedos se estiran
desde el mañana cósmico
y entro en esta noche.

Volveré, tranquilo,
despeinada, con el amor gritando entre nosotros,
¿recuerdas las palabras de la sibila persa
que te vendió mi alma por tres monedas?
El tiempo fluye como un río
Y los lirios de agua pueden florecer en la arena.

  27. This poem is a stunning cascade of imagery and emotion. The opening line, “I open my veins in warm waters,” immediately drew me into the into a visceral experience, setting the tone for the intensity and depth of feeling throughout. The juxtaposition of the desert landscape with the speaker’s emotional state creates a powerful contrast, evoking a sense of longing and vulnerability. this poem is a masterful exploration of longing, memory, and the passage of time, leaving a lingering impression on the reader’s mind and heart. Love it!!
