Somos

rocks piled up, sunset, hope

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!
