Angel of mercy.. Set her free.. Free from the mind that entombs her.. in guilty agony. Take away her childish eyes.. That only see what was disguised.. Not the reality.. Only lies. Time to let her go.. Let her understand at last.. She was one small insignificant part of the story.. One unseen pebble on the path through life. Yet, the shame consumes her.. As if her heart is made of hollowed glass.. Filled with the darkness.. of regrets long past. Now cracked from years of self blame.. Shards of small tainted glass.. fall from her heart.. To keep the child from within her from truly loving.. Lest the rest fall apart.

First Edition Translation of Teselas by Carmen Crespo X111 César Simón Poetry Prixe 2016 Translated from Spanish by Robin Ouzman Hislop and Amparo Arrospíde
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
