Featured Poem

By Isabel Calione

Latched to Your Love

I can't say more than what I've said, I can't do more than what I've done. Day by day I'm nourished by your love, You are my life's greatest desire.

How to accept that this is all a mistake When my soul screams "NO." Not having you disturbs me And all I'm left with is life's gift; To love you, my love.

I tried to remove you from my days of sadness, I tried to remove you from my dreams, but it was all in vain, I resign myself repeatedly, I return to the very beginning And I realize that you never left me, That you are the master of my being.

Your poisonous love kills me, It's a river of happiness running through my veins. I'm between two streams; I live between love and sadness.

Destiny played us a dirty trick when it crossed two souls with so much attraction. Two different roads, two diverse and unmet generations. I face and challenge the clock time without fear. Today I suffer from this challenge, I'm still in love.

My loved one I will tell you that now and always, I cannot correct my heart. I await you with open arms and without bitterness, I can't forget you; I am latched on to your love.

Aferrada a Tu Amor

¿Qué puedo decir, si ya lo he dicho todo? ¿Qué puedo hacer, si todo lo he intentado? Tu amor me sostiene día tras día. ¿Cómo resignarme a creer que lo nuestro es un error, si mi alma se niega a aceptarlo?

La ausencia de tu cuerpo me desespera, y solo me aferro al único regalo que la vida me concedió: amarte, amor mío.

Intenté borrarte de mis días tristes, arrancarte de mis sueños, pero fue inútil. Me resigno una y mil veces, comienzo desde cero, solo para descubrir que nunca te fuiste, que sigues siendo dueño de mi ser.

Tu amor es un veneno que me consume, y al mismo tiempo un río de felicidad que corre por mis venas. Vivo entre dos aguas, suspendida entre el amor y la pena.

El destino nos jugó una mala partida: cruzó dos almas que se buscan, dos caminos opuestos, dos tiempos que no coinciden. Desafío al reloj del tiempo sin importarme nada. Hoy sufro por ello, porque sigo enamorada.

Amor mío, hoy y siempre te confieso: no sé corregir a mi corazón. Aquí sigo, esperándote, con los brazos abiertos y el alma libre de rencor. No puedo olvidarte. Sigo aferrada a tu amor.
