Prelude to Love / Preludio del amor

Just as the soul also has far reaches
the heart touches the edge of dreams.
Beyond oblivion were your memories,
clear and perfect, awaiting my return.

Is your love prelude to the diaphanous
where nostalgia shone with your freshness
leaving behind the sadness of pretending
to die slowly over vagrant horizons.

A dreamlike haze covers my illusion
bringing among sparks of dew your distant voice
melted in the amber of the sunset and my veins.

And that’s where our eyes meet
where all your beauty remains in my world
and you sink into my eternity forever.

Así como el alma también tiene lejanías
el corazón toca el confín de los sueños.
Mas allá del olvido estaban tus recuerdos,
claros y perfectos, esperando mi regreso.

Es tu amor preludio de lo diáfano
donde brilló la nostalgia con tu frescura
dejando atrás la tristeza de pretender
morir lentamente en horizontes vagabundos.

Una niebla de ensueño cubre mi ilusión
trayendo entre chispas de rocío tu voz lejana
fundida en el ámbar del ocaso y mis venas.

Y es allí donde nuestras miradas se cruzan
donde toda tu belleza perdura en mi mundo
y te hundes en mi eternidad para siempre.

    Somehow tinged with longing, no?

    I love reading your poems in both languages. It’s like the two faces of Janus, each protecting the heart in its own direction.
