Deliciously Absent / Deliciosamente ausente

Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS





Deliciously Absent

Deliciously Absent.

Thinking of that soul,

strangers in the night,
in search of someone in whom to see myself,
reflected in my need.

In the lonely night,
in the soul’s cold despair,
dreams of love,
lost in my haze.

Cold night,
my heart,
a burning soul,
warm dreams.

My heart beats,
a faded heart,
still holding embers,
still dreaming of love,
a love unknown,
among my mists.

Blind heart,
that flutters,
still beats —
I feel.

Searching
for dreams,
golden dreams,
dreams scented with life,
tasting of kisses and embraces.

In the cold night of the heart, it beats,
in the silence of my gray solitude,
dreaming of the impossible — it is night —
the mirror shows no one left to love.

While the fire slowly dies,
traces of memory still remain:
kisses, absent embraces,
in the drowned sea
of the heart —
heart,
solitary.

DELICIOSAMENTE AUSENTE

Deliciosamente ausente.

Pensando en ese ser, desconocidos en la noche, 

en busca de alguien en quien verme, 

reflejado en la necesidad.

En la noche solitaria,

en el frio del alma, 

sueños de amor, 

en mi bruma.

Noche  fría, 

mi corazón, 

caliente alma,

sueños cálidos.

Mi corazón late, 

corazón apagado, 

que tiene rescoldos, 

sueños aún de amor, 

amor desconocidos,

entre mis nieblas, 

ciego corazón, 

que aletea, 

aún late, 

siento.

En busca, 

de sueños, 

sueños dorados, 

sueños con olor de vida, 

con sabor a besos y abrazos.

En la noche fría del corazón, late, 

en el silencio de mi soledad gris, 

sueños de imposibles, es la noche, 

en el espejo no hay nadie para amar.

Mientras el fuego se nos apaga, 

aún vestigios de los recuerdos, 

besos, abrazados ausentes, 

en el mar ahogado, 

del corazón, 

corazón 

solitario.

    Loved it A search for what is not there and desired. Nicely done

    • Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS

      At times in the night, I question if I can still love... Thank you deeply for stepping into my world to read these dreams disguised as words that take flight in the darkness.
      Thank you for your beautiful interpretation.

      • sorenbarrett

        It is a pleasure
