Ana Maria Alma Delafuente Poems

I and my heart
lie in frozen slumber
deep within the castle walls
of my snowy domain.
...

Can you hear that?
Can you HEAR that?

It is the sound of snowflakes falling to the earth.
...

So I put you to rest again.

Like a fallen star, your fire has gone out.
So quickly it went out.
...

'Come.' He beckoned me to 'come.'
'Come walk my lonely beach' he said.
'The fog is thick and the sea breeze cool.
Come. Come lie with me today.
...

I was stuck so hard on the closed door,
that I did not see you enter into the room through another.
It was the movement of you walking away
that caught my attention and allowed me to look in your direction.
...

Oh moon, dear moon, can you hear me?
Your voice is sweet this night.
It shines through the bareness of the birch,
and glitters the snow beneath my feet.
...

An ocean gushes from my eyes
but my face is dry.

My throat weighs two thousand tons, and yet,
...

Sweet perfume rises from the earth
as I tread under foot
needles of fragrant pine.
...

Your eyes slay me;
I cannot endure their beauty,
My devoted heart is wholly wounded.
And yet a word from you will quickly heal
...

Blow wind bow;
Fall snow fall;
Form ice form.
...
