1 Endless Poem - 1 El poema interminable

Endless Poem

1

One poem after another, one Sunday after another,
 life stretches on, endless and ever-flowing.
 Words from an ordinary day,
 in the life that overflows,
 in that world that is one,
 yet so profoundly different
 from one person to another.

2

Worlds of letters,
 thoughts
 stitched together,
 day by day,
 alive.

3

In that work,
 destined to become something,
 endless,
 until it reaches its close.

4

Within our desires,
 the longings of life,
 which we fashion
 simply by being,
 I sail,
 I live.

1
Un poema tras otro, un domingo tras otro,
 la vida se hace interminable y continua.
 Letras de un día cualquiera,
 en la vida que se derrama,
 en ese mundo que es uno,
 pero que es tan distinto
 de unos a otros.

2

Mundos de letras,
 pensamientos
 hilvanados,
 día a día,
 vivos.

3

En esa obra,
 que será algo,
 interminable
 hasta acabar.

4

En nuestros deseos,
 anhelos de la vida,
 que creamos
 al existir,
 navego,
 vivo.

    Very identifiable my friend. Nicely written it tells of life day to day and poems word by word yet all come to an end, or do they.

    • Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS

      Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
      Everything that begins, I suppose, must end — except the soul.
      This is the poem of Sundays; every Sunday I will continue it…
      a poem that does not end until new poems arrive.

        Most welcome my friend

      • Jamiano

        Thank you for this beautiful poem that reflects the beauty within desire. Poetic creative images of the longing to be fulfilled, within one's soul time.

        • Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS

          Let us remember that no matter how badly life goes,
          we can always see and create beauty,
          because beauty is everywhere
          and in our hearts.

          Thank you for looking into that intimate world called poetry,
          which can live in prose or in verse,
          or in any form it chooses.

          Carlos, I enjoyed this very much. There is something peaceful in the way it moves forward without needing a grand conclusion. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            I suppose that, in some way, I reflect that calm way of being of mine —
            that even if the world collapses around me, it doesn’t matter;
            I take refuge in my poems,
            and I am born again as if nothing were happening.

            Thank you for looking into the world of words we create
            with the hope of being read
