”¿Que es poesía? dices mientras clavas
en mi pupila tu pupila azul.
¡Que es poesía! Y tu me lo preguntas?
Poesía… eres tú.” – Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
What is poetry? you say, while you fix
your gaze on mine.
What is poetry! And you need ask?
Poetry… is you.
With thanks to Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Evening Rhymes
by Carmen Ruggero
What is it you’ll remember? you asked:
Will it be the ginger sky at sundown?
Or the scent of rosemary we basked?
The way night sparkles in her purple gown?
What is it you’ll remember? You smiled:
The way I gaze into your gentle eyes,
and question: am I by your charm beguiled?
So much, my passion, I will never guise?
We’ll remember this ginger sky; our bliss
when winter calls. We’ll hear the whispered rhymes,
on evening walks, our verse, a moonlit kiss;
this moment -- we’ll recall it all through time.
Our poesy; rhymes on a moony night,
will light our way, in winter's darkest might.
Carmen Ruggero .2004
