Somos
our benevolent ancestors smiled
their whispers in that evening breeze
las palmeras all bore witness
the birth of a union — our lifetime of love
in darkness, our brilliant stars danced
the cosmos chuckled at the innocence
en un beso, the world stood still
until la hamaca cradled us
nuestras energias — a soft melody
my hand in yours
decades for this encuentro mágico
but that impulsive driver in haste,
abandoning mi hogar
decisions turned resentment
and shattered dreams unfolding
dos días a solas
our space became my solace
hasta casi perderte
though today, the sun wants to hide
my heart’s reflection: a million pieces
a foundation unbroken
aún mi corazón entiende
este dolor measures only moments
I believe in mi alma gemela
as do you — doubt has long gone
and hope now takes up residence
nuestro amor ante todo!
