Igual que te amé
nadie te amará
cuando despiertes
no me encontrarás
de ti ausente estaré
mi soledad ya no sentirás
de amante no correspondido
sin tu amor la vida viviré
tu tiempo pasará
sin amor como el mío
ya nunca mas amada vivirás
y mi ausencia en desamor
pronto sufrirás.
—————————-
LIKE I loved you no one will love
When you wake up you´ll don´t find me
I´ll be missing from you.
My lonly heart you´ll never feel again
Unrequite lover not one day more
without your love iI will live my love.
Your time will be pass
no love like mine would you ever find
never so beloved your life would be.
My absence in hearbreak
soon after you´ll suffer
and my today´s pain I´ll not desire
you my dear heart broken heart.

Once again here, that´s good.
Thanks Jeff/Lucy/Warren…..ESL staff.

Thanks Willy, you have inspired this morning
when I have read your post.
Sorry my friend, I wish you the best.

Que sientes cuando sin mi estás?
acaso te percibes que ya no estoy
o sigues ensimismada en tu vivir?
What do you feel when without me you are?
Perhaps you perceive that I am not
Or are you still absoved in your living?
(this is for you Tania)

(that´s for you Betty)
Destino cruel conocerte
sufrimiento continuo de amante sin amor
viendo al ser querido siempre a su lado
sin atreverse a decir te amo mi amor.
Estás ya acompañada, pero feliz te sientes
es mi pregunta siempre al borde de soltar
y no me atrevo un día más
a confesarte mi encendida espera
—–
Meet cruel fate
continuous suffering lover without love
always the loved seeing at his side
without daring to say “I love you, my love”
You are accomanied, but do you feel happy?
my question is always on the verge of release
and I dare another day
to confess you my lit expected.
emiliano
He Dan, you also inspired me
Sorry Dan……

Tanto tiempo esperando
una dicha semejante
y tan efímera fue que pienso
no sirvió de nada ser fiel
fiel a que, a quien, a una idea
nunca pensé que la ilusión
fuera tan corta, que sin tu
amor tan pronto despertar sería
cotidiano dolor en lugar de amor
vivir sin ti es un imposible
que nunca pensé podría soportar
Long time waiting
such a bliss
and so fleeting was that I
it did not good to be true
faithful to whom, an idea
I never thought that the illusion
was so short, that without your
as soon awaken love would be
a daily pain instead of love
Living without you it is an impossible
I never thought I could bear
(this is for you now Dan, friend)
…. and yes it is posible, I have another
best life with my three good companies
that gives me peace and relax.
emiliano
That´s for you Lucy, dear profesor
Ya no me miras, ya no me amas
nunca estas dispuesta a hablar
en que, en quien piensas
que tan callada estás.
You ever look at me, don´t you love me more?
you are never willing to talk
what do you think about?
whom are you thinking all time
that you are so still
emiliano
This is for you, Dear Jeff, dear friend and professor
who taught me so much English and humanity
till the point of making English poesy?…at lieast
I like to think so.
Sin ti un día mas
un infierno soportar cada mañana
en mi ya eterna soledad.
Pensé que conmigo estarías siempre
Y te vas, te has ido ya
Sin decir adiós me has dejado
ni una palabra de mas
Hoy sin ti me he despertado
donde estás
Este mundo no era para ti
tan joven te marchaste
sin saber que yo no vivo mas
Tu ausencia no podré soportar
allí donde te encuentres
pronto estaré
recorriendo otra vez juntos
alguna otra nueva senda para
caminar
Cogidos de la mano para siempre
felices otra vez de estar juntos
de correr una vida, otra vida ya sin fin
esa es mi esperanza que me lleva
a pasar el resto de mi vida sin ti
…….
Without you one more day
endure hell every morning
in my eternal and loneliness.
I thought you’d be with me always
And you go, you’re gone and
Saying goodbye you left me
not a word more
Today I woke up without you
where you are
This world was not for you
so young you left
not knowing that I do not live any more
Your absence can not face
wherever you are
soon be
again traveling together
another new path for
walk
Hand in hand forever
happy to be together again
to run a life, another life and endless
that is my hope that leads me
to spend the rest of my life without you
——-
there is not any more for today, I think it is enough

Well done Emiliano.
April is/was poetry month in the US.
I am not into poetry, but thank you anyway
Thanks Dan,
as you see I have you in my mind and sometimes I asked myself…..what about Dan?
How would be him, despite he doesn´t like to be joined to anyone it is difficult to be
invisible at least from the mind of other.
How is Princess? and her two fellows?
A virtual hug “my friend” and send me some news.

Hi!
Dear Emiliano,
There was a religious day to me before our Easter, the Flowers Day on Sunday.
So, I consider your poem a gift, a little flower for me. And I like the spring flowers and your poetry, too.
Thank you for you are thinking and about me.
Please, don’t ask me what am I feeling when I am without “love”!
Yes, I am absorbed in my thoughts, all kind of thoughts…
Dear Tania,
as always you are really kind with me and my efforts to write something.
Good nice and mistery friend by all these years.
Like Lucy you are like another fair in this blog and it makes you like
having a halo of natural real forcé of fascination to all us.
Thanks a lot deat Tania my Romonian friend.
