… Souls embrace, a union
Snow melts, flowers bud
Honeybees gather pollen
Golden miel
(procreation)
(love)
(life cycle begins)
Warmth of the sun
Spring has arrived at last
Love and laughter nurture the spirit
desarrollar con amor-te quiero mucho
Air is saccharine and skies are vivid
(procreation)
(love grows)
(life)
Birds singing, chirping
almas juntas en una devoción
Our love-our life
New being to be adored
Cherished, treasured, loved
(procreation life from within)
(love)
(life)
I want to be with you forever
quiero estar contigo por siempre
We have just had a baby
hemos tenido un bebe

Gentle ans sweet in such a lovely way! The use of Spanish phrases is a terrific touch.
ReplyDeleteCynthia,
ReplyDeleteNow that is awfully nice of you to say. I was very uncertain of this and still am to some degree. I appreciate you stopping by. Thanks.
Pamela
This is so gentle, bringing the whole of life into it. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteAnthony,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I was tring to do that but wasn't sure I hit the mark correctly. It is always nice to hear from you.
Pamela
Spanish is a better choice for boudoir language than my Latin:)Has a great sound amd music to it.You don't really need to know what it means.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela,
ReplyDelete'Air is saccharine and skies are vivid' always seems like that when love is around!
Rall,
ReplyDeleteThanks! The reason I used Spanish was to give it some warmth because it was seeming so blah! Thanks for stopping by.

Derrick,
ReplyDeleteYeah kinda corny sticky sweet! When the receptionist read this at my work she said "Wow, now that's corny" That is because some of these expressions in Spanish are quite corny. But they sound romantic to me.
Pamela
A happy poem. Nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteThis was gentle and sweet, two engaging atributes...

Rob,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to say. Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
I don't think it's corny at all - just sweet and simply loving and lovely.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteThanks! Well the process for this was a strange one. First it was only English and then later I added the Spanish and when I did that it took a turn for me. But when the receptionist said that to me I realized that with the younger generation here they don't like sweet and lovey dovey things. Kind of like most everywhere. I guess. Thanks for stopping by.
There's nothing wrong with a pure expression of sex-ay love! This poem made me feel like I feel when a really cute baby smiles at me. I love the lines,
ReplyDelete"Our love-our life
New being to be adored"
and "Air is saccharine and skies are vivid"--I like "saccharine" and "vivid" in the same line. And the Spanish adds an interesting sound and feel--it really adds to the romance of the poem, even though I don't understand Spanish. :)
Karen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for complimenting me. I added the Spanish for a warm feeling. Living in a Spanish speaking country I have heard so many things that sound so lovely and romantic. Just little sayings like "Te quiero" which means "I love you" or "I want you". It is the sound of the language that is so captivating for me. Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
I think adding Spanish was a great idea. I love how your poem turned out. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment and commenting. For me the using Spanish certainly was a turning point in the poem. I enjoyed yours as well. Thanks for stopping by.

from Therese Broderick -- Thank you for this affirmation of love and new life! My daughter just got back from Central America. It is wonderful to hear her speak Spanish! I love the last line, how it ends on the word "bebe" which goes back to the meaning of the title, which is the end result of procreation.
ReplyDeleteTherese,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment. So happy to hear your daughter is speaking, it is such a romantic and sensual language. Thanks fro stopping by.
Pamela
Pam I like corny even though I don't know Spanish. If it's cheesy I also like.--Irene
ReplyDeleteSpanish words give your poem a different flavour. Loved your poem very much.
ReplyDeleteIrene,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I up for corny sometimes myself. But I am not so sure about cheesy ;)
Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
Uma,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice compliment!
Thanks for stopping by.

This has a lovely texture to it over all. I am a little bereft of my understanding of Spanish, so I'm not sure if my appreciation of the poem would increase if I knew the language. I think the words and phrases in parentheses also add some visual texture as well.

Nicole,
ReplyDeleteAs always I am very delighted that you came by and read. Maybe your appreciation would increase,the last stanza is translated. Thanks for the compliment.
